To War With Gods

by Aldrich Runecarver

We left the Graymare Inn and headed to Honeyreach. While on the road, I happened to notice something flying in the distance; it appeared to be a dragon. The rest of the group had mixed reactions, some were skeptical, others seemingly indifferent, and in the end I lost sight of the beast and we continued to our destination. The sighting was strange though, as no dragons have been seen in years. We must remember to be wary if we venture into the wild in this region.

We arrived at Egert's home after dark. There was a bonfire with several people gathered having some sort of party or celebration. I saw among them humans, halflings, and elfs, and tried to hide my appearance as much as possible until I can recast my illusion spell.

Egert seemed to be an ex-soldier. He welcomed us into his home, and immediately began a drinking competition with Dru. Fortunately Dru came out on top, although this competition seemed to have less to do with how much one could drink as it did with how much of a beating one could take while drinking. The folks of Barad Elion are a strange lot.

Bevil gathered us together and showed us the note we had found on the goblin captain (apparently he went through our things while we were out this morning). He said it was written in Dark Speech, and speaks of the gods Bane, Myrkel, and the Tablets of Fate. Our world was once joined to another, but the gods separated them when the primordials attempted to destroy them. The Tablets of Fate kept the balance between the worlds. Bane and Myrkul (and possibly one other) removed the tables so that they could gain power. (Bane was the leader of the group; Myrkul was possibly a necromancer who ascended to godhood, and is now some kind of god of death. I need to look see what I can discover about their followers and how widespread their worship is)

Bevil wants us to help in a fight against the gods and recover the tablets. While I acknowledge that I do not feel adequate to the task, my vows to Silvanus require me to give assistance however I can to restore the balance of nature and civilization, so it seems I will be joining this fight. The others also agreed.

Before going to bed, Dru took off Egert's books and poured ale in them (I like this Firbolg), then he and I went out to the bonfire to look for food. While outside, we noticed lights in the distance seeming to move through the trees. They were too far away to make out what they were, and with everything we have been given over the past 48 hours we were reluctant to venture away from the others to investigate. We should probably ask Egert about it in the morning and get his input.
