Erik and Gregor led the charge into the temple taking down a wizard and a cult berserker who almost killed Gregor. Erik got himself surrounded but was able to escape as Declin swept in to turn the tide. The cultists fought to the last man but it looks like they were a skeleton crew because the temple was empty with all valuables gone. The first notice they got and us taking so long gave them time to leave will see if this is the last we hear from the cultist of Razmiran.

Journal 4759 Erastus 5th thru 8th The Hunt for Old Crackjaw

Journal 4759 Erastus 5th We arrived back in Solvania and took Declin to the High Priests.

Journal 4759 Erastus 1st We hear a bard story teller named Grigori speaking out against Queen Arsinoe. So, of what Grigori was saying I agreed with him. Gregor was able to keep the crowd quiet and calm doing the discussion.

Journal 4759 Sarenith 22th thru 27th

Journal 4759 Sarenith 22th We finished up getting the house ready to be burned then started the house on fire. I used my create water spell to keep the ground around the house and on the house to slow the burn from getting to hot. Journal 4759 Sarenith 23rd and 24th Watched over the house as it burned and used my create water spell so the fire would not spread.

Sarenith 19th thru Sarenith 21th 4759 Graul Tribe

Journal 4759 Sarenith 19th We check around and found out that Ulfgar fought the ogres of the Graul tribe and kept one of the heads from that battle. Once I realized that I could use the scent of head to find the trial which could lead us to the tribe. I need to do this for my tribe and put an end to Mammy Graul. Journal 4759 Sarenith 20th Gregor had made a friend with Declin who throws dagger. Declin wanted to see Queen Solvanna about something. We than travelled to the area of the battle Ulfgar had with the ogres. I smelled the ogre head and then used beast sense and enter into Grim. I had Grim smell the head again and started looking for the scent of the ogres trail. I did find the trail and lead us into the forest. Journal 4759 Sarenith 21th I resume the tracking of the ogres using Grim senses. I track the scent to a farm house. As we were looking around at a fire which had bones in it a deformed ogre came from the forest behind us with a wolf. We tried to talk to it first but we had to kill the ogre when he attacked us. Once we killed the ogre we check out the farm house and noticed it all boarded up. Erik and Declin went up and started the farm house to smoke them out. As the house started to burn I went around and found another door in and Gregor went to check the back to see if they try to escape that way when Mammy Graul cast some strange dark sphere. We next started to hear the ogre knocking down the house and they were when part of the wall was knocked out. I entered thru the side door as the other took on the ogres. Gregor attacked Mammy Graul and was getting attacked by like five ogres. I came thru the house getting thru a couple of traps and ran into a couple of zombie ogres and I was able to bring one down with my moonbeam spell. Erik was fighting for his life, do not know what happen to Declin and Gregor was also fighting for his life it did not look good for us. I was able to put my moonbeam on Mammy Graul and was bring her down when Declin came out of the dark and killed Mammy Graul. Once she went down the other ogres did not know what to do some attacked Gregor and two ran. That was the turning point and we were able to kill the ones that stayed. After Mammy Graul went down I used my create water to put out the fire on the house so we could now search it. We first search the first floor, next we search the second floor and finally we search the basement. We found a dark creature that Mammy Grual summoned. We were able to kill it and send it back to it world before it could do anything to us. Then we had a long discussion about burning the house down. I was not against burning the house just did not want to burn the forest. We came up with a plan to burn the house to destroy all the corrupt things they did. We finished taking what we wanted in the house. Then we started to place all the bones from the fire pit into the house to be burned.

She told him that Wretch was burned to death. Wretch was spotted digging a grave for his father. Wretch ran back into the house to get away from an angry mob of farmers. They took his father body to the local magistrate demanding justice. Of course Wretch was found guilty because Wretch would not tell who did kill his father. They could not get him out of the house so they burn it to the ground killing Wretch. I knew I should have had Wretch come with us. It was our fault Wretch died. Journal 4759 Desnus 2nd Kendra told Gregor she did not want to stay alone at the house and wanted to come with us so Gregor put in order to sell the Lorrimor mansion for Kendra. We also might a barbarian warrior from the north named Erik who wanted to learn fire magic. Kendra has promised him she could teach him so he joined our group. Decided to go back to the Riverlands, too.

Journal 4759 Gozran 14th

We arrived late in Felgrau of Ustalav in the furrows. We saw a tree that had werewolves hanging from it branches. Something did not look right and as I got close I saw thru the illusion. It was too late the tree attacked us. It got a hold of Hadhod by the neck and I used my fire sphere to burn the tree. With Hadhod and Gregor beating on the tree and my fire spells we were able to kill this creature. Then we skirted around Felgrau as we were going around the town we were found by three werewolves who wanted Hadhod to joined them because of his wolf spirit. Hadhod refused and they attacked. I made them separate to get to us with my spike growth. We were able to kill them quickly with Gregor silver sword and because they could not gang up on us. We than continue on when a ghost attacked us but before it could do anything to us we were able to destroyed it. Then hear a voice from an old building. It called us inside and I did not believe it was a good idea but it was. Hadhod and Gregor went in and I followed when we meet the Prince of Wolves. He gave us information about what was here and where Kendra is. We promised to give him the heart of the pack leader if we found it. As we were getting close we were discovered by the Whispering Way. A group of skeletons started to come out of the building next to us. Gregor went into the building taking the fight to them. The cultist leading the skeleton began screaming that the werewolves are attacking. Two werewolves came around the building to get to Hadhod as a few skeletons also came out to attack us. Then a second group of skeletons came out from the other building next to us. I was able to destroy most of them skeletons in that group by commanding them back to the earth where they came from in the name of Gorazan. Then I noticed more skeletons coming from across the village and more werewolves coming from the way we came in. A three way battle was beginning. Hadhod was able to kill the two werewolves and skeleton outside, Gregor killed most of the skeleton inside and came out to fight the second group of skeletons. I set up entangle to try and slow the werewolves down. It worked I used my fire sphere to help Hadhod and set up my spike grow to also help Hadhod. The skeleton went after the werewolves before going after us and the werewolves also would go after the skeletons before us. Except Hadhod which the werewolves wanted him to go to their side but that was not working. Just as every group was coming together when Auren vrood enter the battle. It did not look good because he was flying. We had little to hurt him while he was flying are only hope was to command him to the ground. Gregor used his command spell telling Auren Vrood to sleep. It worked to my surprise and Vrood fell from the air. Once he was ground Gregor attacked him. The cultist saw Vrood in danger changed their order from the werewolves to attack Gregor. I used my spike growth to kill that group of skeletons but two other groups went around my spikes and got to Gregor. With my and spike growth to help Hadhod he was in control killing the werewolves. I went help Gregor with the two of us we took out Vrood. I did not realize it when I then used my turn undead destroying half of the group of skeletons but also killed Vrood undead form, too. We both got surrounded by the skeletons as the cultist told the skeletons to kill us and they ran for their lives. Gregor was able to break me free from the skeleton and covered my escape. We both ran to Hadhod on the other side of my spike and entangle spells taking some damage. This worked because the skeleton did not make it thru and were destroyed. We then rested up so I could get one more turn undead for the day and went up to rescue Kendra. I used my turn undead to destroy the skeletons guarding Kendra. We then started search the place and found this Scroll which read: The Carrion Crown Upon the ashen pathways tread Softly, as the whispered dead. As mortal flesh doth rot and fail To leech and maggot, ebbing frail. Unhallowed words cannot be spoken, With whispered oath, death lies broken. Shed fear, shed life, shed pain, shed time, Eternity seized shall soon be thine. First spirit torn from Grave-Lady’s grasp Be rent and sown as soured ash. Soft the spiral song reverses, Judgment lost, damnation surges. Keeper of the damned’s soul take, With packlord’s heart the beast shall wake And flesh be wrought in disarray— Stillborn cocoon, to blessed decay. A hundred slain lie innocent, Grind bone and marrow to cement Craft now a skull of splintered graves, Unmake life, unmake the slave. Where history churns dream to blister, Necrophagous secrets whisper Through chronicles of Raven’s tongue – A legacy of fear unspun. Blood spilt atop the Iron thorn Invokes that which cannot be born. Arise the Tyrant now unbound, Bearer of the Carrion Crown

Journal 4759 Gozran 3rd thru 9th

Journal 4759 Gozran 3rd and 4th While we wait for Gregor returned. I talked Wretch to help me clear the water from the barn so it only has water in the two pits and in base of one of the towers. Wretch knocked a hole into the base causing the water to drain. We waited and nothing came out at us and the water drained away. We went back to the main house and Hadhod told me that the mimic’s ask to join us but he threw it off the cliff into the river. Hadhod continue to look thru the house while I rested. Journal 4759 Gozran 5th Gregor return by noon and told us that Kendra Lorimor had been taken by Auren Vrood who wants us to leave Ustalay or he will cut off her fingers. We told Wretch to stay here and guard his home we will return and leave Ustalay with him. We went back to Lepidistadt because Gregor has a plan to find Kendra. Journal 4759 Gozran 6th Gregor was able to get Father Eswayne Cidaimoikis high priest of Gravecharge Temple to scry on Auren Vrood and Kendra Lorrimor with no luck. I was able to sell our treasure and also was able to give my share of the reward money for Wretch to pay back the rest I owe to the temple for the magic feather fall ring. Gather supplies to be ready to leave. Journal 4759 Gozran 7th Just waiting around until for news on Kendra. Journal 4759 Gozran 8th Gregor came back saying that Father Eswayne Cidaimoikis was able to contact Kendra Lorrimor and the place sound like the Harrowstone Prison. So, we are off to save Kendra. When we stop for the night Hadhod remember that Harrowstone Prison collapsed and is now underwater. We headed back to find out more information where Kendra is. Journal 4759 Gozran 9th We get back just before noon and Gregor went to Father Eswayne Cidaimoikis to scry Kendra again. He was able to get more information and found out that she is in Felgrau in the furrows. So, we started out to the furrows.

Journal 4759 Gozran 2nd

At dawn we started our search for Hadhod. We found the head of the troll that jumped off the bridgeto escape us was now asking us to take his head off this pole. The troll told us that the Bride did this to him as his boby lay at the base of the pole trying to get to the head but cannot. The troll did tell us he saw Hadhod who we found along with a homunculus of Alpon Caromarc. It wrote in the dirt asking us to help Caromarc. Caromarc is being kept at the brink of starvation and dehydration and wants us to rescue him. It told me about the machine which can control the Bride and Wretch and how to use it. We would have to control her if we are to bring the Bride down. We decided that I fly to the tower I last remember that sound like the machine to control the Bride. We waited for dusk and I changed to a bat and flew to the tower. Everything he told me was right. I turn the machine on when the lighting bolts appeared with one hitting me. I told the Bride to go to the master bedroom and go to sleep. She told me she does not sleep so I told her to close her eyes and wait for me. Then I switch and contacted Wretch and took control of him telling him that he needs to kill the Bride who is in the master bedroom. Gregor and Hadhod followed Wrench to the bedroom where they attacked the Bride. She shifted to her strange spider form and fought Hadhod and finally put him in webs then went after Gregor with Wretch help they wore her down and Wretch was able to take her head off. At that point I let go of the machine and got hit by another bolt just before I was able to shut it down. I waited for Gregor and Hadhod to find me on top of the tower. Gregor and Hadhod cross the web bridge by putting sheets and blankets. Once across they had to fight a mummy and before destroying it Gregor got infected by the mummy with mummy-rot. They also saved a mimic and told it to leave as they continue on to find me. They entered the building which was flooded and as they were walking thru the water the both fell into a pit of water getting rot grub. They had to get them out to survive and they did by cutting them out. Gregor sensed undead in the next water pit and got around this trap. They got to the tower and climb the interior wall avoiding a large monster in the pool below. They then came into a small lab which contained Alpon Caromarc in an iron maiden prison. For some reason Gregor killed him in the prison as I came down from the tower hearing their voices. Once found Gregor told me about his problem. We went back to the house where I saw Wretch crying asking me why I made him kill her. Gregor got on his horse to Lepidistadt to get cured and left us saying he would be back. I helped wretch burn his love and toss her ashes in the river. We rested up waiting for Gregor return.

Journal 4759 Gozran 1st

We arrived at Schloss Caromarc home just after midday and it was not what I was expecting. It was up against a mountain with a chasm with a fast running river below. We decided to wait until dark before I would start scouting out the place. As we waited for darkness we noticed a carriage coming up the road. We went out to meet it because Gregor thought it looked to be Andivion Adrissant. It was and he had a vision or something bad is going to happen to us. Gregor did some strange thing with the cards again and told us we have to be care full but we need to go in and stop something from happening. Just after dark I shape shifted into a bat form and Gregor rub the rest of the ethereal oil on to me. I left the group and flew over the bridge noticing trolls and goblins watching the gate. A strange looking creature was resting at the entrance of the house. I went into the house it has two floors and only on the first to the right of the entrance in a room is a statue that looks like it was made to defend the house. It was dark and I found no one in the building. Left thru the kitchen to a narrow cross walk to another building which looked like his lab but it looked like something went wrong and there was an explosion that destroyed part of the wall to the left. There also seem like something was hiding in the rubble in the back to my right. I moved on across another narrow walk way into another building. This look like his trophy house or were his experiment lived or did live. To the right is a room that has a present of something that is on the ethereal plane or close to it. Also, in this room in the right corner is a stairs going down. Those stair lead down to the water but there is a strange creature something like wretch guarding that way. The other rooms appeared empty. I found a door leading to a narrow path around the mountain to another building that looks like it was partly destroyed. There is a strange present in this building I believe hiding in the ceiling. The stairs going up have been destroyed so we will need rope to climb up. Also, this looked like where he kept strange creature locked up. It also, looks like they starved to death. I see three huge hairy ogres, but not an ogre, that look to have died a few months ago. The upstairs lead to a tower and there seem to be something in the tower but could not see it. The tower had a view that over looked the whole area. I then went down to the river to find a way across the river to the landing that we could use those stairs to get in, but did not. The place looks like no one been around for at least a month maybe more. We decided to use the cover of night to attack the trolls guarding the gate to cross the bridge. Gregor agreed to try and lead the trolls away as Hadhod and I move in from the other side to attack whoever stayed behind at the gate. It did not go as planned as all three trolls went after Gregor leaving just the goblins. Hadhod and I got close when the trolls stop chasing Gregor. Gregor fired on them and another troll on top of the gate house got up to shoot at Gregor as the trolls head back to us. I cast my spike stone to protect me if anything came at me. Hadhod was seen by the trolls so they ran to him. A couple of trolls had to go thru part of my spell to get to Hadhod. Hadhod used his hammer attack to kill one of the injury troll. Gregor came back to help Hadhod who had two trolls on him. The goblins started to help us by attacking the trolls, too. As Gregor got there Hadhod had killed the second troll with the help of the goblins. I had to use my fire spell to make sure the trolls stayed dead. Now we were able to kill the last troll on the ground with only the troll in the gate tower. Gregor used his leader voice to tell the troll to jump down and he did but jumped into the water in the chasm instead of facing us. For some reason Gregor scared the goblins into running and they ran at me killing themselves from my spell effects. Hadhod was able to open the gate door for us to enter the keep where we rested first. We rested and thought about how to get the strange wolf to come to us. We started to yell for it to come to us when the wolf charged the gate. Hadhod was able to grab the wolf paws for Gregor to cut them off which caused the wolf fall off the bridge without us getting near the creature. Gregor thought it best if Wretch stayed behind and guard the entrance. Then we went to the main building to check it out. Just as we entered the building the statue I saw last night attacked us. This was not going to well when Gregor was able to hit in the very spot I just hit with my flame strike to destroy the metal statue. We search the upstairs first finding nothing to help us but Hadhod did take some valuables that we found. Then downstairs found some brooms and mops keeping the floor cleaned. But, the dining room was very dusty and we found that it had an anti magic spell cast on it so those items could not come in. I knew there was a hallway to the outside door and it took us awhile to find it in the dining room. When we open the secret passage way door we found the hallway which leaded us to the door outside. We went thru the door and cross the narrow bridge to another building. This building looked to be his lab which had an explosion destroying the lab. Just as we started to look around two creatures attacked Gregor armor instead of us. It was a quick battle but Gregor armor was partially damaged. We noticed that these creatures had partially destroyed the structure that held up the building. We also found a lot of chemicals in jars. I then show them a wooden rope bridge we had to cross to get to another building that housed strange creatures that had been stuffed. It looked like only one person should cross the bridge at one time. Hadhod decide to go over it first and when he got halfway across two harpies flying on opposite sides called Hadhod to him. For awhile Hadhod was resisting their singing as he shot at them. Then all of a sudden Hadhod jump waving his arms like he could fly and fell into the river. He survived the fall and was swept away by the current. Now it was Gregor who killed the first harpy when the second one tried to call Gregor to fly to her. The two of us brought down the last harpy. Then when we were looking for Hadhod from the bridge a creature that looked to be how Wretch described his girlfriend. She told us to leave and not come back. We found out that with help from the cult of the whispering way she was able to keep her master alive without killing him and she did not want us to rescue him. She broke the rope bridge on her side and let it fall leaving us no way to get her. So, we left to find Hadhod before coming back to face her. We knew we could not find him in the dark so we rested in the gate keep to sleep before starting our search for Hadhod.

Journal 4759 Pharast 31th

We left Lepidistadt just after midnight the city had become quiet after the news of Wretch innocents. We were able to leave without any trouble and head to Wretch home of Schloss Caromarc. We are looking for answer about Wretch and see if we can free Wretch sweet heart in the process. We traveled until sunrise to get as far from Lepidistadt as possible before resting. We rested the rest of the morning before traveling on until night fall. We talk to Wretch about his home and also decided to use my ethereal oil to scout it out first.

Journal 4759 Pharast 30th

We got up and Gregor went to talk to Andivion Adrissant on what we found. Karl story told about the beast being blue and a cripple arm which was not Wretch. Andivion Adrissant was good using the cape, the guard story about him putting on the cape turning into the blue beast and the zombie men that told about the man used to turn into the blue beast when he was angry at them by putting on the cap. The head was the true owner of the chemical business and a creature could look like him just like turning into the beast. Also, one of the books told about the chemical to make a fire that you did not have to light first. All this proved that Wretch did not burn down the hospital. When the council took it final vote only one member voted against Wretch to be killed all the other voted to say he is innocent. We won and got Wretch off was the good part but the town was not as happy and still wanted Wretch to be burned. We were told to wait at the court house until midnight to leave. Wretch was told to leave the area and not come back. Also he was told not to kill anyone or they would come after him. We made arrangement to get out stuff and to leave Lepidistadt that night. We decided we would head for Wretch home of Schloss Caromarc.

Journal 4759 Pharast 29th We got up and Gregor went to talk to Andivion Adrissant on what we found. He got more information from the bones to help our cause his name was Tarem Gatrone and also Wretch cry sounds like a laugh. The trial begins with the key witnesses being the sisters. They sound like it was Wretch but had no true information but that they were saying. Andivion then went after the sister and got them to lie that their religion was and then accuses them of murdering the child molester Tarem Gatrone. They were unable to deny the charges and stay quite. Andivion then used Wretch cry and ask if this was the laugh they hear when we was carring Ellas body. Wretch broke out in a cry when Ellas name was mention. This destroyed their claim of Wretch laughing. When all was done Andivion closed with insisting that the women be arrested and bound for trial for the murder of Tarem Gatrone. This stunned the crowd and the crowd was getting worst seeing that Wretch may become free. We then got ready and headed out to the Sanctuary of the site of Wretch mass murder at the burning of the Sanctuary. We arrived late afternoon and started to search the three burnt building. We founded a fragment of broken glass with a label of a chemical name on it. We went into the basement of the Sanctuary and were attacked by four ghasts. Hadhod got paralyzed but Gregor and I were able to destroy the remaining ghasts to save Hadhod. Gregor used his power and I used a fire sphere to damage them and keep them from surrounding Gregor. We were able to save Hadhod and found little else in the basement. We continue searching and found a note that sound like a threatening blackmail naming Vorkstag and Grime who also runs a chemical factory. We then saw a building on the other side of the river with smoke coming out of the chimney. We had a little trouble crossing the river and it was cold. We found the former caretaker of the sanctuary, Karl. Karl was blind but he told us he saw the “Beast” and he was blue, had a crippled arm, and used high tech flaming oil that did not require a wick when he threw it at the sanctuary. He saw his niece who was burned I could heal the burn but not the scares caused by the burn. After talking with Karl he told us about a ford a mile upstream. So, he headed back to Lepidistadt to check out the chemical factory. When we arrived in Lepidistadt we found a mob forming to hang Wretch. We rush to the court house to see if we could help to protect Wretch from the mob that was forming. The guards told us that they would not stop the mob but they did agree to warn us if the mob breaks in. We went to the front door to meet the mob. The rains began to fall hard and this would help us because the torches would not stay lit during this rain storm. When the mob came up close to the steps I cast five spheres of light in front of us to scare the mob they would hurt them. Gregor was able to convince some of the mob to go home. When they started to charge the court house door Hadhod then slammed his hammer on the ground and Gregor made the ground to shake this cause more to run away from us. Then, Gregor was able to scare the leader to fall back and this cause more of the mob to stop the charge. My spheres cause the mob to go around them so only a few got to us. Then Gregor caused the leader of the mob to run away leaving only the ones that got to us. Hadhod and Gregor knock them out and I was able to make sure none of them died. We stood watch for an hour than Hadhod and his wolf patroling the ground scaring other back to their home. We stayed another hour or so before Gregor and I left to check out the chemical building. Leaving, Hadhod on watch at the court house. Gregor paid one of the guards to come with us so we could have him to get us in to look in the building being an official busy of the courts. It was still raining when we got to the chemical building. Gregor rang the bell a couple of times before we were met by a man and a gnome or at least he looks like a gnome (maybe a rock gnome???). They took us into what looked like their office. Gregor talk to them and when he showed them the note about the blackmail and the label. The man said to wait and he will show us something else and went into the room connecting the office. In a few minutes he came back but he came back and put on a cloak that turn him into the other beast with one crippled arm and he was blue. He attacked us striking down the guard which I was able to keep alive. I was not thinking when I cast my fire sphere to keep the gnome and the beast from ganging up on us and to burn them if they did. The sphere did kill the gnome and harm the beast. But, the beast turned to vapor and left when he was about to die. Gregor went out after the beast and I put out the fire to make sure the building did not burn up and see that the guard would be all right. When I got into the main area of the chemical building a fire had started in the far corner of the building and men that looked like zombie were leaving and telling me to leave and save myself, too. I tried to put out the fires but they were spreading to fast. Gregor went up into the second floor of the building chasing the beast. I got out and saved the guard just as the building explored. Gregor did get out in time and found a head that looked like the man we were talking, too. But, Gregor said it was in a jar and found other books. The rain help keep the fire from spreading but the chemical building was burned to the ground. We took the zombie men as evidence back to the court house and locked them up. We slept at the court house in case the mob decided to come back they did not.

Journal 4759 Pharast 28th

We arrived back in Lepidistadt after 1 in the morning. We went straight to see Adivion Adrissant to discuss what we found. He was very please in what we found and he wanted to talk to us before the trail and to meet him after breakfast. We only got a short rest Gregor and Adivion Adrissant talked on what they wanted to do in the trail. We then left for the trail the prosecutor talk for a long time it was after lunch when Andivion and Gregor started. When they gave Wretch the fine silver surgical instruments what was agreed were the tools used. He accidently destroyed them just trying to handle how they should be used. We won the first case but the people did not like what we were doing to help Wrench. We are now off to the place to find evidence for the second trail. We got ready and headed out to Hergtag to the scene where Wretch is accused of murdering ten children. We were able to travel on the road making good time. The land around the village was all over grown and the houses with windows broken with chairs and dishes out in the yards. The people left everything behind like they were all threaten to leave quickly. We came across one house hearing a child voice coming from the upstairs. When we went upstairs we found a ghost child and when we started to talk to him he attacked us. We were not able to kill it but hurt it seriously when it fled the room. Hadhod tried to go thru the roof to follow but failed. Gregor and I went down the stairs and found it flying to another house. We started to chase it and it then changed direction. We continue on to the house the ghost initially was headed. When we entered he found another child and this time we tried to talk to jer. We got some information about Brother Swarm but the ghost wanted to touch us. We attacked and killed this one before she could leave. He decided we needed to find other ghost and try to talk to them. We saw the first ghost that fled now had another ghost with it going to another house. We found another ghost child in the house and got more information about the children throwing things thru the window then we attacked the ghost when we felt it could give us no more information and destroyed it. We check a few more houses and found no more ghosts. So, we went to the last house we saw the ghost fleeing, too. When we got there we found four ghost children. Gregor tried to talk to them and only one listen and started to cry when he mention Wretch name. The other three attacked us and they touched Hadhod so he could not be healed before we were able kill them. Once we did we got more information from Ellsa. She told us that Wretch tried to save her but could not hurt something that looked like Brother Swarm but she kept saying it was not Brother Swarm. She did tell us on how Wretch cry sounded like someone laughing. She also told us about the sister and they lost a nephew. After we got all the information we could get from her we than put Ellsa to rest by destroying the ghost spirit. Just as we were leaving the house we heard the howls of Brother Swarm. Brother Swarm attacked us and created and controlled a swarm of wasps around him. We would not enter the swarm but attacked him with missile fire. Brother Swarm did not hurt us to bad and we were able to kill him without getting close to him and the swarm of wasps. We then search the town and found a body in a hollow tree that looked like he was covered with honey on his cloths to attract wasps. We found dead wasps trapped in the folds of his cloths and inside his cloths. This body looks like the remains of Brother Swarm. We took the remains of the body with us. We found out that Brother Swarm was the person who killed child before Wretch was there and that one of the child was the sister nephew. They were the ones who killed Brother Swarm. Gregor got the dates off from the grave stone along with the village record book of deaths we found. We also found a burnt out cabin and a burnt poetry book. We took all the information we found back to Lepidistadt. We got back to get a good night rest and got Hadhod curse removed so he could be fully healed.

Journal 4759 Pharast 27th

We started the investigation into the stolen seastone statue here in the city. We found an old woman who gave us the name of Auren Vrood. He could be the one who would want that statue. The charges were given and Adrissant gave us our orders where to go. We headed out to the village of Morast for the first charge. On our way we ran into some traveling show known as the Crooked Kin. They ask us for our help to find a girl named Aleece. We agreed along with one of the man from the show. We came upon a large spider which attacked us biting the man. The man died from the spider bit. We killed the spider and found the girl Aleece dead. We took both bodies back to the show group and Gregor performed the burial. We arrived after supper into the village of Morast. Few people were around to talk too. We did find one villager to talk to, a village elder named Lazne. We talk to him about the Beast of Lepidstadt which leaded us to check out a nearby island. Lazne agreed to boat us over to the island to check out his story. We found a pair of manticores on the island and they attacked us. This was becoming a tough fight because they were flying above us and we had little miss fire to hit them with. We did little damage to them until Gregor somehow was able to force them to land so we could fight them on the ground. Once he did they were not as tough to defeat because we could then surround it to kill them quickly. Searching the island we found a camp and a boat that contained evidence that Wretch was not the one attacking the villagers. We got back in the boat and had Lazne take us back to the village of Morast. We then headed back to Lepidistatd with the evidence.

Journal 4759 Pharast 18th We woke up later than normal finding that Hadhod was missing. I track him to a dryad tree where Gregor wanted to cut the tree to see if he could free Hadhod. I was able to stop him and say we must wait. We waited all day and now it is night with no Hadhod yet. Journal 4759 Pharast 19th The dryad released Hadhod and we continue our travels on to Tamriven in Ustalav. Journal 4759 Pharast 22nd Kendra finally arrived just outside of Tamrivena and she had a huge cloak for Grim. Kendra had to make some alterations to the cloak before we could leave for Lepidistadt. Journal 4759 Pharast 25th We have made it to Lepidistadt and have turned the creature Grim over to the authorities. Gregor ask me to watch over Grim to cast protection from evil if he begins to look troubled. Gregor went to talk to the authorities and to also return the books he promised to do. Journal 4759 Pharast 26th While we waited for the formal charges to be given against Grim Gregor remember that his half brother Adrissant could defend Grim and he believe he was in the city, too. After much talk Adrissant agreed to defend Grim but we had to do his investigator work against the charges. Not sure what or how we do this but this made Gregor happy and sure Grim would be set free soon.

I was just getting to Ravengro when I spotted a strange creature just before midnight on the 16th. It fit the descriptions the border guards gave me about a beast of Lepistadt. I ran from it and got into Ravengro just after midnight. When I arrived I meet with Gregor and told him what I saw. Then a messenger arrived telling us everyone should arm themselves a monster is loose. We were also told that a huge reward will be given if capture alive. Since we knew where it just was it was a good bet we could find it before the hunters. We were able to locate the beast and corner him. Gregor and Hadhod trying to subdue it Hadhod went down. I was doing real damage with fire as Gregor used his pummel to knock it out finally. We were able to tie it up and help Hadhod with his wounds. We found out the creature appeared to have give up because it did not kill Hadhod when it could of. We sent for the leader of the mod so we could collect the reward but he just wanted it killed running to get the hunter to kill it. So, we went back into the woods and will rendezvous with Kendra in Tamrivena. She is to get supplies, a wagon and a huge cloak to hide this creature hideous appearance. We are taking the creature back and will try and help him earn his freedom.

After resting for 8 hours and eating some food we once again went down to destroy Splatterman. We decide to get the portcullis open but after several tries we did. We went in and found nothing in the cell and no Splatterman. We than went down the passage opposite the one we thought Splatterman was in. We found a hole in the floor and then the Lopper appeared because he was alone we all were able to attack him destroying him before he could even do anything. Then we heard taunts from the Splatterman. We went out to confront him again Kendra was using her magic missile wand to attack him from a distance because the rest of us could not get close enough. He disappeared again before we could get to him. We found him again at the end of the last passage. Kendra was tearing out pages of his spell book to hurt him and just as we were getting close to him he was in back of us attacking Kendra. He almost killed her but we were able to get back to her in time to kill him before he could disappear again. Then we searched out the last area finding the Mosswater Marauder who had the skull with a piece missing just like Hadhod had told us. Gregor told us to destroy the skull first and once we did we were able to quickly destroy the Mosswater Marauder ending the curse on Harrowstone. Vesorannia appeared telling us that the threat is gone and Harrowstone is safe and she can now rest in peace herself and left us. Gregor wanted to bury all the bones in Harrowstone and we did help him and we also looted the place finding a sword in the hole we found the Lopper it was the warden bladed. We found some other items and got all the bones buried in four days. When we return to the city people told us no more strange letters had appeared and things were going back to normal. They were sad that father Grimburrow was really dead. We gave his body over to the acolytes.

Journal Entry 4759 Calistril 11th

Once again a rune was inscribed on the memorial statue. It was an O this time and does fit the name of Vesorianna. We have seven days to resolve this. Gregor went to get Father Grimburrow and it was strange that he does not remember coming with us yesterday but agree to help us again. Since we knew where the Piper of Ilmarsh is we went upstairs to confront him. When we got there we were surrounded by 10 shadow bats along with the Piper. It did not look good until Father Grimburrow used his clerical powers and destroyed all but one shadow which we destroyed quickly. Then we gang up on the Piper and defeated him with little trouble. Then Gregor went around the cells looking for undead. Once finding them we open the cell and destroyed them. In the last cell was a shadow of Charlatan the fake priest. We almost destroyed him but he fled and was able to enter Father Grimburrow body. We were than able to knock the father out when he went to attack us. Not knowing what to do Gregor said let’s take him back to the temple. As we were taking Father Grimburrow unconscious body back to the temple. We were spotted by people from the city who thought that Father Grimburrow was dead. Once we got to the temple we ask for help from the acolytes to purge the spirit from him. But, now Father Grimburrow was awake but controlled by Charlatan the acolytes did not believe us but they tried and failed. We decided to bring Charlatan with us back to Harrowstone. Father Grimburrow suggested that we purchase a ring of featherfalling by using temple funds. We did and I agreed to pay the temple back. We headed back to Harrowstone. We decide to clear out the first floor and when we did we found Vesorianna spirit. Gregor talked to her alone keeping Charlatan who was in Father Grimburrow body out of the room. Gregor found out more information about the fire and collapsed elevator shaft. We went back down to the cell below entering thru the destroyed elevator shaft. When we enter the main room which lead to the prisoner areas we were attacked by four more shadow. Than Charlatan cames out of Father Grimburrow shouting warning to Splatterman we were here. The shadows moved in and attacked Father Grimburrow and almost killing him as we were attacking the shadow a powerful magic missile hit Father Grimburrow killing him before he could do anything. Kendra hit Splatterman with a magic missle from the wand causing Splatterman to retreat. The party split up with Hadhod and Gregor going after Splatterman. The last shadow then attacked Kendra almost killing her. We were able to destroy the shadows but Splatterman had retreated behind a portcullis. As we tried to open the portcullis we heard Splatterman laughing as he cut our escape rope in the collapsed elevator shaft room. We tried to get to him but could not and then he knew we were trapped he attacked us. He almost killed the dire wolf and he hit me with some strange vision. That vision was the river was a river of blood and all the fish are dead. As we were trying to get him he just disappeared and after 15 minutes we said we needed to get out. So, I shape changed into a bat and flew up and got the rope attached again so we could escape. We decided to go to Vesorannia and rest in her room she told Gregor she would protect us as we slept. So we did.

Journal Entry 4759 Calistril 10th

We were woken by people yelling and this time the rune for the letter S appeared on the town hall door instead of the statue. Gregor then took us to the plaque on the Harrowstone Memorial Statue where the names of the people who died in the fire at the Harrowstone Prison. The Warden wife’s name Vesorianna was on that plaque. Gregor figure out that the Splatterman wrote out his victim names before killing them. So, we will rest up and go search the Harrowstone Prison for more clues. Gregor went to talk to Father Grimburrow for help investigating the Harrowstone. We arrived at the Harrowstone in late afternoon. Father Grimburrow and Hadhod explored the grounds first. They encounter an animated executioner and defeated him and brought it scythe to us. Then attempted to climb the east side Hadhod encounter a strange plant which turned out to be a strangle vine. I was able to save a cutting of the plant to transplant. Hadhod told us he heard a flute playing on the second floor and that we should go in. The whole group entered the Harrowstone going thru the front door. We went straight in the main entrance and then into a hallway which lead us into the infirmary where we encounter a spirit patient which we defeated. Then we took the door to the far right. This leaded us to a room that the outside wall has collapsed and water had come in. Looking at the furnace which was haunted attacked us and Kendra used her cold magic on it to destroy the evil spirit. We then took the only door available to us lead us to a training room with an elevator shaft and as I was checking it out I kicked a skull which fell down the shaft causing seven shadows to appear. They were all around us and did not look good. Lauren was the first one to die when touched by a shadow and Kendra was severely wounded and ran away to save herself. Father Grimburow destroyed six out of the seven shadows letting the rest of us destroy the last shadow. I went over to Lauren to see if I could save him but it was already too late. I went thru his pack to take the healing potions I gave him and gave Kendra the magic missile wand. Hadhod noticed a strange like wrist wand and he put it on his wrist and then he could not get it off. He found buttons and started pressing buttons causing fire to shot out at his face. Then he found one that took it off. He should of left it off. But, he put it back on and played with the other buttons and then it started beeping. He then took it off and threw it into the water. A few moments later it then blew up destroying the item. Gregor pick up Lauren saying we need to bury him. We then took the only door out which lead us through a room which had a stage and benches. It got cold and we just left the room which lead us back to the main entrance. Gregor left Lauren body here when we decided to check out the last door on the right side of the entrance room. This leaded us down a hallway to room. Hadhod found a secret panel and in it found items that belonged to the ones we are after. We took the items and before leaving we open the door to the cold room and attacked it with fire thinking we destroyed that spirit, too. Then we left picking up Lauren body to take him to the temple before returning home. On the way to the temple a shadow came out of Lauren body and attacked us. Sense it was only one we destroyed it quickly. Father Grimburow said he should of remember that anyone killed by a shadow becomes one. We left Lauren body at the temple and took his stuff and headed back to Kendra house for rest. Before going to bed I transplanted the strangle vine into a pot.
