S23: There's Trouble in Norrven
We reported back to Luca in Faerstow in the rain - blasted weather this is. All else aside, it's the first bed we sleep in for awhile, so the rest is good.
I wonder...Should I be taking time in the mornings to pray, like a priest or a champion of a god? Seren gave me no directive of the sort, and...I haven't prayed to anything in so long. What would I even pray for? I couldn't ask for strength, and she already offers guidance unbidden when it's right. Perhaps I could simply offer thanks? Though, I can't imagine her claiming responsibility for my living to see morning - it's not really her...domain?
Maybe I should talk to a priest - though it could bring some trouble to ask how to pray to a god that few may know.
Luca joins us for breakfast - not a fan of the axebeak it would seem, and when we're all gathered, he call us to the meeting room in the basement.
He sounds almost cautious - not the jovial front we're used to with him as we talk about the trip to Norrven.
We have a lead on Illan - a place they call the Jack-o-Tavern. The...gangs are getting too organized, and someone needs to disrupt them, and find out why the elves are coming out of the forest. First, though, we really need to make our way to Hraegard.

S23: Magnam Subsinctus

It's...disorienting at first, finding myself floating in the stars. Ke-Iko is here...alive? The star, the...energy that is keeping him from moving on for now. He's frustrated, I know. It's clear he's burdened by the weight of...something. There's a cle...
06:34 am - 01.03.2025S20 - Internal
It's been long enough. We're heading into the fort to check on Ke-Iko. It's crowded, and we're outnumbered. Clearly some bandits, a couple more organized folk - and...outriders, orcs. Illan is here, too, that bastard. Damn! Ke-Iko - we're not in pos...
07:22 am - 15.02.2025S20 - Magnam Subsinctus
Ke-Iko's been gone too long - we're goin' in. It ain't but a sec after we get to the top of the tower, I see Illan - there's some unsavory folks, too - bandit-types, and...orc outriders? All Hells breaks loose, and it's a bloody fight - I think I mi...
06:50 am - 15.02.2025S19 - Magnam Subsinctus
Morning, it's quiet, and we're able to git breakfast without a problem. I got Malachi started on a workout, so he can bulk up if he's gonna keep usin' a spear while he fights. We talk about where we're headin' next, and settle on headin' to the fort first...
05:21 am - 08.02.2025S18 - Internal
We're off to see what we can do for the Dragon Ogre's companion, Kloffi. He's soul-blighted, so we think anyway. We have a plan, a ritual, to send him onward to the afterlife - in peace, we hope. We found Kloffi - an the guild hunters sent after him - ...

Into the basement, we find the tavern's primary storage. There's a bloody crate there - probably where the bastard put Peony's body. Our supplies are here, too, and...a scent, from a draft beyond the basement wall - a hidden passage. On a whim, I figure i...
06:22 am - 23.11.2024S13 - Magnam Subsinctus
Alright, here we go I guess. Down into the poor innkeep's basement... It's a whole storage basement down here. There's a couple lit candles, so we get our lanterns and torches ready, but there's no one here, 'sides us. Waaait...What's that smell? WAIT ...
06:04 am - 23.11.2024S12 - Magnam Subsinctus
We find ourselves in the Crystalline Wayhouse, officially in Zielgarden - the innkeep, Elan, is a real friendly sort, serves up fresh ale and lets us know there's beds for the night, even. He offers us the whole place free o' charge! The stew is good, an...

It looks like we're going to need a day to catch up to Frederick and the boys. So shortly after the attack on Pella, it'll be difficult to sleep. Minky and Malachi look tired this morning -- clearly they didn't take the night well, thought the rest of...
06:35 am - 26.10.2024S11 - Magnam Subsinctus
We're not catchin' up to the cart today, so we're campin' in the rain. It's gonna be a long night, ain't it? Much to my pleasant surprise, I was not woke up even once during the night! Now, to see if we can't catch up to the cart! Up at the bend at ...
05:58 am - 26.10.2024S 10 - Internal
It's started to rain - the same sorcery that came over Yardham before the attack. At the guardhouse, we find the boys we rescured, along with the captain, and send them to help the citizenry. We find a kitsune there, presumably the one responsible for the...
05:20 am - 12.10.2024S10 - Magnam Subsinctus
The rain's comin' down, and there's a flash over by the guard house - we gotta get there, quick! There's another man over there, but he's got like...ears, not like, regular ears, but like, fox-type ears, and his birdman companion - he looks like he's read...

Another vision tonight - the creature from another vision, before all this, like it's calling us back to this pond. It seems we're charged to save the world tree...From House Batton. "Tears of a Leviatihan will cleanse the blight A Leaf of the Mother'...

A warg. One hell of a warg. I hate wargs. The militiamen turned out to be surprisingly courageous, though it cost a couple of them their lives. The Damned warg burst into flames, and exploded when struck by the final blow. Some of the soldiers were too...

Where was I? OH yeah, that...is a big dog. Now, we had to get in there quick if we were gonna have a chance to save anyone. We rush in, just in time for the big ol' wolf to SPIT GREEN GOO - What in the Hells? NOW IT'S ON FIRE?! This is not what I si...

Pella is...quaint. The Old Scoundrel is a bustling tavern, simple but suitable for a night. Beds are cheap enough, and the meals are hot. A table made mention that there is a group of mercenaries that ventured into the Scar. Either they're great fighte...
06:33 am - 28.09.2024S 7 - Magnam Subsinctus
We finally made it to Pella, and head over to the Old Scoundrel. It's real fancy in here, with its floatin' candles and such. It's busy too, real busy for a little place like this - AND THE CANDLES TAKE ORDERS?! How in the Hells are these beds only three ...

The first morning since escaping Yardham. We really ought to keep moving. It would be difficult for aforce to be following us, but it's prudent to continue on quickly to Pella. Especially if Pella ends up in the state of Yardham. Frederick and his boys a...
06:31 am - 28.09.2024S 6 - Magnam Subsinctus
It's mornin' and we really ought to gety outta here. We're headin' out, farther up north toward Pella -here's hopin' it's in better shape than Yardham. Frederick and the boys are here, quiet - I'm guessin' they didn't handle the night too well. It's a ...

The church bell awakes us in the night - a bad sign at this time of the night - the town alarm is ringing, we need to get out of town before all Hell breaks loose. There's combat outside, the townsfolk aren't prepared, and the local guard certainly can...
06:30 am - 28.09.2024S5 - Magnam Subsinctus
DING - I guess that's as good a wake-up call as any, the church is chimin', and that's weird this late - maybe we should go take a look. Now there's the alarm bells ringin', and I think that's our queue to go! There's sounds of fightin' outside, sounds...

After the last bit of foolishness, the guards are suitably adminished for their lack of tactical acumen. The merchant's kids are scared, and I'm down a spear. fortunately, the next couple days travel are quiet, and we're nearly to Yardham, finally into...

Welp, it's morning, and half o' camp is on edge. James ain't hardly speakin', and the guards are... uh...embarrased o' themselves, it seems. Five days in, but at least today's mostly quiet, and we're finally at the fork between Yardham and Lyeditch. I...

It's an ambush! There's about as many of them as us, and these adventurers are just WALKIN' into them. I better get them in shape if we're gonna git into any real fights. A couple o' orcs and some goblins are gonna be trouble if we just go runnin' head...

Well, it's morn', and about time to head out to Hraegard. This whole band is a bunch o' early risers - I didn't even hafta go push them out o' their beds! The wagon for this train is about set as we get there, Freedrick is the head around here, and the...

We're here at the hall, but I'm not quite sure where I'm headed yet. It's mostly empty here, but this is definitely the place, right? I woulda thought a bunch of folks would answer the call. Folks do start comin' in after a while, and a sign is put u...
