Journal 4759 Lamashan 6th thru 9th - Saving Taztleford
Journal 4759 Lamashan 6th – We leave for Taztlford
Journal 4759 Lamashan 8th – We arrived at Tazetlford and talk to a guard first and he took us to see Mayor Tanner Rezbin to talk, too. We told him about the pending attack and he did not believing us. Until, a girl named Kisandra Numesti came in and told the Mayor the same story. She also wanted help because her sister and other girls were being held as hostage by Kellid the Tigerlord Barbarians. The Major agreed if he saved Tazetlford then he would come under the queen rule. He gave us 12 archer along with our eight we brought which gave us 20 in all. He also gave us twenty men of arms to help defend the town. We tried to bring everyone into the town for protection only the people who ran the gambling place stayed behind. We set up watch at the bridge. An hour late we got the report that the raider were coming so we set up with Gregor on the bridge and the archer at the river edge on the town side with the other group ready to help support the bridge. Once we could see the army I set up my spike growth in front of the bridge. Once the raider got in range for our archers we started to shot at the raider archers. The raiders also had a hill giant who threw boulders at our archers. The other started burning the gambling hall and temple killing anyone in those building. In the missile exchange we lost four archers to the raiders and two to the giant. We killed all their archers and chased the hill giant off the battlefield with our missile fire. They next sent the barbarians to take the bridge and they ran right into my spike growth stopping them from reaching the bridge. Gregor used his power to get on the other side of the growth to have the barbarians to turn and attack him. It worked killing all the barbarians but the leader who attacked Gregor. Gregor killed the barbarian leader and the last group of heavy infantry who were set up in shield wall defence asking us for their surrender. We agreed sending them back to their lord telling them that Taszetlford was under the queen protection and do not come back. The major agreed to come under queen rule from this day forward.
Journal 4759 Lamashan 9th – Mayor Tanner Rezbin throws a feast for the village of Tazztlford coming under rule of the Queen Arsinoe of Solvania.
Journal 4759 Lamashan 5th - Message from Evindra
Journal 4759 Lamashan 5th – As we travelled back to Solvania a bird from Evindra came up to me and told me I need to go to a village south west of Solvania to resolve a conflict between the village and the centaurs. I told the group and they said we will see after reporting to the queen.
We reported to the queen about the Owlbear. A man came in to talk to the queen and Declin in private. After the meeting Declin told us that a village and fortress to the north called Tazetlford, the same place we killed the tazetle worms over a year ago, has a group of mercenary and barbarian horde which was organized by Duke Dreleve coming to attack the village. Declin also told us they believe King Castruccio Irovetti Irovetti is also involved. If we go with a small group to defend the village maybe they will come under the queen control. Gregor picks 8 archers to come with us to help protect the village.
Journal 759 Lamashan 4th - Meeting with the Vampires
Journal 4759 Lamashan 4th – Early in the late night hours we were woken up by many red eyes vampires. The vampire leader Ramoska Arkminos spoke only to Gregor asking him to stop the war between the vampire and the Order of the Palentine Eye. Gregor brother Adivion Adrissant and his brother lover is involved in this war but Ramoska cannot move against them for some reason. If Gregor will not help Ramoska will kill him even though he cannot kill his brother. So, he wants us to stop Adivion Adrissant either by killing him or getting him to make the peace and if Gregor refuses than he will kill us. Gregor responds by using his fear power on the nosferatu but Ramoska resisted it and ordered his three vampire minions to kill us leaving Gregor alive.
As the three vampire minions came in to attack us Gregor and Erik attacked one of the Vampires with Declin attacking another one with fire doing little damage to it. I was able to turn two out of the three Vampires leaving us with only one to fight. Ramoska was leaving us along believing that his minions would defeat us. With the two running away from us leaving the one fighting Declin to defeat. We could now gang up on this one and using radiant damage was able to totally destroy the child vampire. We look around with no vampire around to be seen. But, I told the group they will only run away for a minute and could return which they did. I cast my sleet of ice to slow down one of the vampire while we attacked the other. It worked and we were able to destroy the female vampire using our radiant damage before the male could get to us. As the last vampire finally got to us Gregor attacked it. I cast moon beam on it but this time when we kill the last one it was not by radiant damage it bone remained in the moon beam. I was not sure and left the beam on the bones. I warned Erik who wanted to take the vampire skull if he entered the beam he would be hurt so he did not. Then my radiant damage from the moon beam destroy the last vampire so all three were destroy and turn to ashes.

Journal 4759 Lamashan 2nd – We found the lair of the owlbear and the person who did it to him. The owlbear found us but we were able to kill it without much problem. We also cleared out and found the body of the one who did it to the creature. Declin found a ring that wanted him to control animals and believe this was the item that helped that person do that to the owlbear. We also found some kind of green slime what is very dangerous. We could not figure out how to take it. Search the rest of the caves.

Journal 4759 Rova 8th thru 24th - Destructions of the Troll's
Journal 4759 Rova 9th thru 12th
We begin to get ready and then travel to find the trolls trail.
Journal 4759 Rova 13th
We find a troll trail and after an all day search we found the troll lair and will now watch it. After about an hour before midnight a dwarven secret door opens up and a troll steps out into the darkness. We had a bad plan when the troll came out and he attacked. We did not realize we would be facing ten trolls and two dire wolfs we thought it would only be three or four trolls. We were able to almost bring one troll down but did kill one of the wolves when they started to surround us. I called for us to retreat and we did but as I try to help Declin and Erik. Erik was able to get away with Declin and I getting trapped. Gregor was able to help get half of the trolls to come after him. It looked like they had him but he used his special ability to escape. I got caught by one and when it held me up another troll wanted me, too. With Declin and Gregor help I was able to get free and turn into a snake and hide in a bush. Declin and Gregor where are to also escape. The trolls went after them but did not catch them. The leader had the wolf search for me but never found me because I was a snake. After not finding me they went back in the cave.
Journal 4759 Rova 14th - I used the daylight to find Grim which I did and came back to wait for the rest of my group who did not return. I hide to see what the trolls did and they came out again at midnight and back before dawn.
Journal 4759 Rova 15th – I waited another day for my friends. But no one showed up. I could not figure out on how to get in. The trolls left again at midnight.
Journal 4759 Rova 16th - I decided to see if I could figure out how to get in so I turn into a mouse and climb up to a spot above the entrance and heard them say a strange word to open the door. It sounded like a word I have heard before but could not place it. The trolls left again at midnight.
Journal 4759 Rova 17th – I waited for the last day and my friends have not returned. So, I decided to head back to Solvania. Head back to the main road.
Journal 4759 Rova 18th – Reached the main road and start walking to Solvania.
Journal 4759 Rova 19th – Found my friends heading back to the trolls. They all return on their own to Solvania and waited a day for me before heading back. I went with them back to their lair. They pick up some fire oil to throw at the trolls while in Solvania. I told them about the word I heard the troll say to get into the cave. We decided to see if we could get into the cave and attack them as they tried to get back in.
Journal 4759 Rova 20th – Travel back to the troll lair.
Journal 4759 Rova 21st – We got back to the troll lair and hide out while I spied on the trolls to tell the party when they left. When they left we went to the entrance and Gregor was able to say the dwarf word to open the door for us to enter the cave. We spent a few hours searching out the cave to be sure nothing was inside to attack us when we started attacking the trolls. We set up our attack plan using my portal hole to trap one or two trolls in the hole. I worked on closing the hole quickly to trap the troll inside.
Journal 4759 Rova 22nd – We waited for the trolls to return and when the first troll enter and fell into the hole it scream warning the others so I closed up the hole trapping the rock troll. We were able to kill three trolls and the wolf as they entered one at a time. After we killed another troll after being forced by the leader into the cave no other troll would come in. We had to go out to get the rest. Declin sneak out and threw fire oil at the leader causing confusion as we came out to fight them. We took down the leader which caused three of them to run away leaving just one which we easy killed. We searched the dead trolls taking item we could use or sell then burned the troll’s bodies. At high noon we open the portal hole so the sun light would kill the last troll for us then put the hole on the cliff wall and pulled the troll out and broke it up. I counted the coin and gave each his share of the loot plus paid off Gregor with my share in his because he did not want me to pay him back. I had to so I owe no one for my ring of feather falling. We are going to use this cave as our hide out place now.
Journal 4759 Rova 23rd – We finished cleaning out the caves and waited to see if the other returned. The trolls did not return so we decided to go hunting for them to remove the troll problem now. It took over half the day to pick up the troll trail using grim.
Journal 4759 Rova 24th – We found them and was able to surprise them taking one out quickly and when the second one went down the last one tried to run but we were able kill it before it got away. We search their bodies and then burned them up, too. We decided to go after the lizard men to get them to stop eating humans.
