Journal 4759 Lamashan 17th thru 21st - Finding the Sword of Ovinrbaane

Journal 4759 Lamashan 17th – We set off for the Tomb of the original barbarian warlord Armag. Journal 4759 Lamashan 18th – I am afraid that what Evindra wanted me to do I will not be able, too. I think a war will break out before we get this done. Journal 4759 Lamashan 19th – We found the Kellid barbarians army at the entrance of a box canyon so we decide to go around and come from down from above. We also saw Kisandra sister come out and go back into a tent while we waited for dark. Journal 4759 Lamashan 20th – We wait until dark for Declin to climb down and then had the raven tell us when he was safely down. Both Gregor and Erik got into the portal hole and I used the ring of feather fall to get over the cliff to get down. Leaving Terrion Numesti on top giving us a day to find the sword and get out before he goes to rescue his daughter. Once inside the tomb I open the hole and let Gregor and Erik out of the hole. We go into the first room which is to roll rocks to a place on the stairs to open the door above. It takes us three tries to do it with Erik getting run over by one of the rocks. I was able to heal him. The next trap was a cold trap by turning a wheel which Erik was able to do with taking little damage. Declin tried first to turn the wheel but the cold drained him. We entered into a hallway that went into a room. This leaded us to a room that had stairs going down and two passages way on either side. We check out the passage ways and we found a couple of items that seem to look expensive in the trash. Then went down the stairs led us to a room was filled with a fog and then a voice came out of the fog telling us we cannot defeat Gorum. Gregor entered the fog and then Erik entered right after him. I ran around the room to see if I could get behind the golem. When I entered the fog I was able to get behind it casting moonbeam on a bronze golem looking like Gorum. Gregor was standing and fighting while Erik back off to fire his missile spell at it. I got sick because the golem put a stinking cloud spell around itself. With us all attacking it and my moonbeam we were able to take down the golem. This time a door did not open up when we destroy the creature. We search the room and found it had doors and Gregor was able to open the doors by saying a name. This leaded us to a room that had a hallway going down and two passages way on either side. We check out the passage ways and we found a trash here, too. Then went down the hallway whick led us to a huge pit room where it had stone columns we had to get on to get to the other side. Erik sent his raven done to the bottom and it saw giant red ants that killed the raven. We used the ladder in the portal hole to get across putting Erik and Gregor in the hole. By using the ladder and slinging it from column to column then Declin and myself crossing over the ladder to the other column to sling the ladder to the next column until we got across the pit. This led us to another room where the floor looked very polished. Gregor went across it first when he got a little over a quarter of the way the floor tiled and it flip over dumping Gregor underneath it. I tried to see if I could push the floor down to get a rope thru but could not. Erik tried and was able to so we lower a rope to Gregor to pull him out. But when we got him out he told us it was like a funnel that dropped you into a spiked pit which we saw something glowing. It was a magic hand axe and also a cleric scroll with three spells on it. I then decide to see if I could cross it and was able too. Then, I put the other in the portal hole and cross the floor. This led us down a passage to another room. This room had a statue and a double door. Eric noticed the statue was pointing at something which turned out to be a secret passage. Gregor listen at the double doors and heard a sound like laughing I told him we need to take the passage. As we went down the passage we found picture on the walls telling the story about the sword of Ovinrbaane and the barbarian leader Armag. As we continue down the passages we came across a strange blue salad creature. It attacked us saying it must eat. During the battle on one of the creature attacks it tried to put an egg into Erik. We were able to kill the blue salad creature not before hurting Erik. I gave him three potions to help heal him. This passage just led us back to the fog room. So, we back track back to the statue room to check out the double doors. But it put us back to where we started but the three statue that where were when we entered are now gone. Gregor then said they were the witches. The laugh he heard sound like the witches and they said something like we fooled them. We just had one more door to check out back in the fog room. We open this door and it led us to a large carven room which had the five barbarians that we saw in the pictures on the hall. They were wights and they attacked us. I was able to turn four of them leaving us to just fight one to fight which we were able kill quickly. Then we attacked one wight at a time killing them all before the turning wore out. We noticed that they look like they were trying to get back together so I used my scared flame on their body pieces to destroy them. We find two passages again with trash in them. We open the door by picking the lock which led us down another set of stairs and hallway into a large room decorated as a temple of Gorum. We encounter a mummy priest of Gorum who was blocking out way. The mummy told us we shall not pass. We wasted no time in attacking the mummy priest and nearly destroyed him in our first attacks. It ran to the double doors and pounded on them to warn the new Armag we were coming. We destroyed the mummy in our next round of attacks. Since whoever was in the next room knows we are coming we opened the doors to finding a gauntlet of fresh dead Tigerlord barbarians just made into zombies with three Tigerlord barbarian wights at the next door across the room. Erik moved into the room to attack the zombies with Gregor standing close to him to try and protect his back while blocking the door so he would not get surrounded which they did. Erik took a lot of damage from the zombies but did not go down. I used my flaming sphere spell to take out some of the zombies as they surrounded Erik. We were able to destroy over half of the zombies when Gregor saw an opportunity to break free to attack the wights. With my flame sphere and Erik fighting frenzy we were able to handle the zombies while Gregor and Declin attacked the wights. Gregor was able to destroy one of the wight in his first attacks. Erik was surrounded and used his thunder wave spell to free himself but misjudge how far the effects goes out and hit Declin and myself with the spell. That was the first damage I took in this battle but it did destroy over half of them. Gregor and Declin took down the next wight and with the group help we took down the last wight as a group. With the wight destroyed the remaining zombies fell to the ground. I used my scared flame spell to totally destroy the wight which was not destroyed in Gregor attacks. Declin went to the next door to check it as I finished destroying the wights for good. When after a few moments we entered the next room which the Tigerlord Barbarian Warlord Armag Twiceborn was in. Erik was the first to enter which caught the eye of the warlord Armag who was becoming the old Aramag Firstborn. Aramag first attacks nearly killed Erik leaving a nasty inflicted purple wound on Erik. I cast my moonbeam spell on Aramag and then Gregor was able to do a hold person spell on him paralyzing the warlord. We then all attacked the warlord to bring him down. He should of died on our first attacks but he was fighting Gregor hold somehow. Gregor was able to keep him paralyzed as we beat on him for two more attacks before Erik great axe finished him off for good. Erik wound continued to fester and our first attempts to heal him failed. When I was looking at Erik wounds it looked like a bad infection. I had Gregor look at it the wound and he agreed that if we treated the wound quickly with herbs we could of stopped the effects of the infection quicker. We believe Erik will heal with time and normal resting. Now that the threat with Aramag is over and we have the sword of Ovinbaane I needed to see if I could help Evindra protect the sword because I sense she was in trouble. This area was close to the Fey realm and I was able to pass through a wall into the realm of the Fey easily. I passed by a sphinx going to the crystal cave. When I got to the cave I was too late. Evindra was already dead and the sword gone. I put her body in the portable hole and took her back to the realm of the Fey where I put her to rest. This time the Sphinx ask me my name and when I told him he told me that Evindra told him he is to give me a gift of turning back time where I could go back in time with the knowledge I have today to change something in the past to change the future. Then I return back to the temple. I thought only about 15 minutes passed but over an hour more had passed. I found out while I was gone Declin picked up the sword of Ovinrbaane and it wanted him to unite the clans and to become Aramag but he resisted and dropped the sword. Gregor wrapped the sword in a cloak. Then Erik picked up the wrapped sword and struck it against Aramag’s tomb thinking that would destroy the sword but only damage the tomb. While waiting for me the party started searching the room we just passed thru. Erik found a secret door which contained a great horde of treasure. Declin search the junk room we passed and did not find anything of value. Gregor went to his Harrow Cards to see if it could tell him what to do with the Sword Ovinrbaane. Then I returned back. We rested up before leaving. Journal 4759 Lamashan 21st – After consulting the cards Gregor decide to give the sword Ovinrbaane to Erik. Erik did pick up the sword and wanted to go out to speak to the great army of the Tigerlord Barbarians. Erik displayed the great Ovinrbaane Sword to the barbarians and he told them he was going to unite the clans. He told the barbarians to go home and prepare for war. He told them to release the female captives to him so they could be returned back to their families which I was surprised they did. Before getting the captives I ask for a couple of hours to go back to the Fey realm to bury Evindra they told me I could. I went back and talk to the Sphinx more about the gift of turning back time. I will go physically back to the time I chose and even it if 5 years ago I will go back with all the knowledge I know now but my friends will forget everything that has happen the last five years. I also gave the Sphinx the unicorn horn. I buried Evindra in the Fey realm I will miss her greatly. I told the group of my gift and how I could use it. Terrion Numesti was reunited with his daughter and we started back to Drelev to take the other women back to their families.

Journal 4759 Lamashan 10th thru 16th - Meeting with Baron Drelev to free Kisandra Father

Journal 4759 Lamashan 10th – We travel around the marsh to free Kisandra father. Journal 4759 Lamashan 14th – We are at the town and watch the coming and going to figure out what we do. We noticed that a barbarian comes out with a girl and takes her into the forest. We plan for the next day to meet with the barbarian. Journal 4759 Lamashan 15th - In the early afternoon a barbarian brings a girl into the woods where Gregor meets him with us in the woods around the barbarian. Gregor held the barbarian with a spell. Erik and Gregor gave the girl a lot of money to be quiet. Gregor put him in iron and start talking to him to get information from him. We find out that his leader of the Kellid barbarian is Aramg Twiceborn is looking for a sword of the gods to bring the barbarians back in to power. I ask about how to get arrested and he told us how. The plan was that we would go in and I would then do something to a guard to get put in jail to find Kisandra father location and a way for us to get into the dungeon. When we went up to the gate Gregor was ask why we was coming to the village and he told him to talk to the Baron Drelev that he was the Queen Captain and the plan went out the window. The next thing after waiting for the Baron was the Baron Drelev challenge Gregor to single combat. The battle was over in a few rounds with Gregor killing Baron Drelev. Next the wizard seneschals stop the barbarian from attacking the group. Gregor talk in private to the wizard and then the Cyclops giant Vordacai a fey wanted to talk to me and pick me up and put me on his shoulder telling me he wanted us to take back our land. I was listening to Gregor talk and the wizard wanted us to kill the Cyclops and Gregor agreed. Gregor got the giant to challenge him to a fight and Gregor agreed. In the battle Gregor was almost killed by the Cyclops but before he could finish Gregor off Erik was able to bring the Cyclops down and I healed Gregor to save his life. The barbarians called foul and were going to attack us when the wizard had the bowmen shoot and kill all the barbarians outside. Then he put his sister in the seat of power. She has a mean dog but I was able to get it to stop biting me. Journal 4759 Lamashan 16th - Then he threw the rest of the barbarians a party and got them drunk and killed them all while they slept. The wizard did tell us where the tiger lord went and told us the story about the Sword of Kellid. He also release Kisandra father to us. But, they would not bring the castle under the queen rule.
