Journal 4759 Neth 1st thru 15th - Conflict with Nomen Heights and the Centaurs

Journal 4759 Neth 1st – I left the group to travel on to Nomen Heights with two Solvania guards. Gregor, Erik and Declin headed off to Pitax for the Rushlight Tournament. Journal 4759 Neth 4th – We came upon a strong hold named Varnhold and it is under siege by the centaurs, who are starving the people out. I believe the Solvannia guards would not be of any help with negotiations at this point so I sent them back to Solvannia to info the Queen what I’m doing. Journal 4759 Neth 5th - I went up to one of the centaurs on guard asking them if I can speak with their leader, I told them I was on Evindra busy. They let me pass and I got to talk to the leader. He told me that they were finish talking to the humans about trespassing on their lands. He also showed me the area of their lands and wanted them to pay a copper piece for each animal that grazed on their lands for a day. He gave me permission to go into Varnhold and talk with them. Journal 4759 Neth 6th - I went in to Varnhold and it was bad all the people are starving to death. I got to meet with the leader and he used to be a very big man and now is a shell of a man. After talking a while he gave me this counter offer to take back to the centaurs. It was that they would pay a copper piece per animal for 10 days in their lands. When I left I gave the leader a good berry to help him but he has not eaten for so long it just made him sick. I took the counter offer back to the centaur. They would except if they would know when they paid that is why he did a day. He agreed when I show him how to count the days of the year putting it on a flower using the druid craft cantrip. Journal 4759 Neth 7th – I went back into Varnhold and gave the people my iron rations and I told the leader the centaur accepted the offer. I also told them how they would tell how long they were in the centaur land. The centaur would use a druid craft cantrip and give it to the people it would have a number on it. They would have nine days after that number to be in the lands or would have to leave or pay again. They would also be given a second flower with the number of animal they paid for. If they lose either one of the flowers then they would have to pay again. Jourmal 4759 Neth 8th – I began to teach the centaurs how to count. Then, teach them how to count the days of the year and what the maximum number to go up to before starting over. I also taught them how to use druid craft to put that number on a flower so it would show the day they came into the land and the number of animals that were paid for. If it was older than 10 days they would have to pay again or leave. Since we are close to a new year I work with them what today is and when to start back over to one when the new year begun. Journal 4759 Neth 10th – The centaurs are beginning to understand how to count another day or two they will have it and be able to teach the others. Food is coming back into Varnhold. Some of the people are leaving back to their homes others are not sure what to do because their homes are in the centaurs land now and can’t afford the price. Journal 4759 Neth 14th – The Centaurs have it they are counting and understand the calendar dates. Next, taught the centaurs the use of the druid craft cantrip on how to create a flower. Journal 4759 Neth 15th – The centaur were happy with the offer and heading back to their lands. The humans were not pleased but it was better than death. I’m headed back to Solvania.

Journal 4759 Lamashan 22nd thru 31st - Conflict what to do

Journal 4759 Lamashan 22nd – Terrion Numesti offers his daughter Tamary to us as a reward for her rescue as he promised he would. Declin was not sure if he wanted to refuse or not. But at least I do not believe he hurt Terrion feeling when they decline the offer. Journal 4759 Lamashan 26th – We arrived at Drelev to return the other captive women to their familes. They were happy to be home. Terrion found out that his other daughter Kisandra was now returned to Drelev and was with her lover Satinder Morne again. Terrion did not seem happy for her as he said his good bye. Our party and Terrion were not welcome at Drelev and I wanted to get to Nomen as quick as possible, so we left soon after we arrived with Terrion and Tamary going back with us to Solvania. Journal 4759 Lamashan 27th – As I was looking at the map I ask Gregor about going straight to Nomen Heights instead of going back to Solvania. It would save at least six to ten days. He agreed because Oleg’s trading post was on the way and we could leave Terrion and Tamary there and they could get passage to Solvania. He talked to Terrion and he agreed that would be fine. Journal 4759 Lamashan 31st – We arrived at Oleg’s trading post and were meet by a messenger from Queen Arsinoe. He gave the message to Gregor who told us that the Rushlight Tourament will begin in seven days at Pitax. As we talk we could not make it to Nomen Heights and back to the Tourament before it started so I told them I will go to Nomen Heights alone because I’m not needed to attend the Tourament. Gregor did not want me to go by myself so he gave me two of the guards and was going to send more to assist me. He sent the messenger back to the Queen to tell her they were on their way to Pitax for the Rushlight Tournament and to send ten guards to Nomen Heights. Gregor also gave me a letter giving me authority to act for the Queen.

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.

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.

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.

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.
