In Character Notes -
We are in the town of Enye Taesi.
I came in and met the Gang of people, I tried bargaining for a cheaper stay but paid a silver piece instead to stay the night and then I stayed in the same room as (Robby) and we chatted some.
We then went to sleep, then visited the Alchemist and saw Body, then we interviewed a few people, like the Priest and the Mayor and (Brad) interviewed the Seer and Hit on her some.
The alchemist stated the higher-ups voted to burn his body, specifically the seer, the mayor, and the priest.
The alchemist did not kill this person, but maybe someone else???
The Priest seemed to be a little suspect of Mithos!
We then went to the mansion on a hunch that there were some bad plants there as well as a bad Aura.
Then we went to the mansion and explored the house some!
We grabbed some of the guy's research notes and (Robby) Opened the hidden door behind the bookshelf!
Then the session ended!
Moon Shadow's Past History!
Hopefully I can Edit this Later!
You will learn parts of it as it goes!
I saw Mithos once when I was younger when our clan was visiting theirs! He was speaking that's about all I knew of Him. However, I was very young at that time.
When young my family tribe was killed off. I was rescued by a very kind older man who raised me in the Circus as a Father Figure. He was the ringmaster person and I was at max 30 years old when He rescued me. Me and the circus did not really work out and now I am just wandering. I was basically raised in the circus for a while.
Session #7 - Big Encounter's
Killing of the Ghost!
This portal was not what I thought! It wasn't dark and dreary it felt like taking a long rest and it seemed to have the same effects!
There is a void around all of the floating rocks in the area!
I hit the boy with an amazing flurry of blows and it dissolves! (I hit it with 2 Critical Successes and it gets destroyed!!!)
As it dissolves into thin air it drops 4 mysterious crystals!
So I decided to pick up all 4 mysterious crystals!
I look up there seem to be some giant eyeball things, some vaguely human things, and some giant bug-looking things!
I go through the portal after looking up to see what surrounded us and I tried making sure the boys were close enough to go through!
On the other side of this portal there is a really cool clearing with stone walls all the way around and stone walls all the way around!
There is a pool of fresh water nearby! The trees are very deep jungle trees!
We try going through the portal and it's a one-way gate!
I go and fill my waterskin with the water from the pond around us!
Elflock drools then talks to this guy!
We all end up talking with Him!
He ends up talking about the portal taking them back to his temple deep in the woods!
They were trying to activate these portals it requires 5 strong magic users using level 3 spells! One of the perks of activating it you lose your abilities to do magic abilities.
Their temple is deep in the woods! They don't know who it was originally for, it was in a decrepit state and they have been using it as their base of operations! Who? (Said the plant boy!)
They call themselves "The Silver Creed!" their focus is on trying to improve the body!
They performed the ritual on the ghost guy and that's why He became a ghost!
They were attempting to see if it would work on wolves!
That's where the morphed wolves were coming from!!
The portal did not take Him where he expected to be taken! This is nowhere near where he was expecting it to be!
He said that there might have been a few basic guys back at the base however all the higher-ups were at that meeting!
He was sort of peer pressured into joining this creed!
His name is Zellus Kol!
I cut his ropes free and gave Him a handshake!
The plant then puts a spell on Him and he then stuns the plant!
I shake my head as Zellus Kol runs off!
Session #6 - The Encounter at the Standing Stones
The Standing Stones!
We begin travelling to the standing stones! I decided to carry Elflock Drools and Da Bear as we travelled to the standing stones! For some reason, they are not waking up and so instead of leaving him here in the woods I decided to take him and his bear with us on our journey so that He is not super left behind! (It was half a day's journey!)
We see a hill and from behind the hill, we hear a really loud roar!
As we enter the clearing we see a 2 layered hill in front of us! Immediately in front of us, we see 2 upright stones and a stone over the top of that! (Apparently, this is called a Dolmen Gate!)
Elflock Drools says there is a battle happening on the other side of this hill! I ran up and then took a jump to see what I could see! I saw some dudes with bows and that's about it!
The dude came and ran over and tried hitting Levi, these boys seem to be on edge!
In this combat, I got hit by a witch a few times and it hurt so I punched them back and destroyed them! I then went over and punched the mutated Dire Wolf and just completely destroyed it!
I then looted the witch (Dead) and got some torches, rations, and 2 GPs!
Then checked the next guy (Unconscious) and tied Him up, he had 4 SPs.
The portal is slowly diminishing so I quickly grabbed the unconscious dude and went through the portal with Him!
We all went through the portal! We come into a vast open space with colours and open terrain! We seem to be on the lowest level of whatever place this is! There are more gates like the one we just came through!
In the center ring, there is a ghost, it seems to be absorbing energy from this dimension!
(I added the money to my pockets, after asking them if they were cool with that and they were!)
Session #5 - The Battle Against The Undead Tree
The Battle Against the Undead Tree!
I can't believe I got woken up by screams it was definitely a change of pace!
We heard the screaming come from the west, so we lit some torches and ran over there! Except we forgot to wake up Kersenski Broadleaf!
We then saw a zombie that was clearly a merchant with a wagon with some goods in it! He fell into the hole and died!
Elflock Drools shoved me into the hole and said Go Get Em! It was pretty rude!
So I ran towards the zombie and hit it real good! It then swung back at me and hurt me some!
All of a sudden there is a big tree without any leaves that start moving behind Elflock Drools and the Plant Dude!
The Zombie's Head came clean off when I struck it again!!!
I then turned and tried to speak to the big tree with no leaves, but it ignored me! So I hit it after saying sorry to the good trees/wildlife! Then I got hit by its roots and I was thrown to the ground! Then I hit the plant again and dealt a good amount of damage! I then hopped off the cliff and the tree came and followed me and I hit it again real good and it collapsed. It was an undead tree just to be clear!
We found 2 weapon potency +1 runes! We also found a wand, a small dusty rose prism stone, a crying angel pedant, a detective's kit, and a small landmine! We also found 40GP in a pouch!
Elflock Drools gets the detective's kit, 1 weapon potency +1 rune and 15 GP's.
Kerensky Broadleaf gets 1 weapon potency +1 rune, a small landmine and 10GP's.
The Plant Boy gets the wand and the crying angel pedant.
I got a small dusty rose prism stone and 15 GP's.
The Plant boy tried shooting me with His new wand! I bent over and the shot destroys a wheel on the wheelbarrow. It shattered into wood splinters and ice!
We seem to have been within a giant footprint, one much like a T-Rex with 3 toes! The footprint is huge!!! The toes are all at least 80ft long from the heel of the foot!
Session #4 - A theory on Ghosts
A theory on Ghosts
We finished up the battle by killing the big wolf. The smaller wolves that remained were either quickly killed or ran off.
As the Big Wolf died, its skin seemed to boil away and there was a weird coldness that seemed to fall upon all of us. I felt like the cold presence was a ghost leaving and running out of the wolf's body. It could be a variation of a dire wolf or what the hunters were talking about in the woods.
The great evil that poured out of the wolf seemed to go towards Mithos's Manor!
Go with the Mayor to Mithos's Manor tomorrow! We will be leaving tomorrow morning!
The Alchemist is willing to give us some free potions to use for free!
The Jail was broken into, Vam Vam was killed and the other guy escaped! The plant found the trails from the escaped cultists heading south! We then went to sleep!
When we woke up in the morning we went to the Alchemist to get some potions, we got a water breathing potion and oil of potency and we let the plant dude hold the potions!
We then headed out with the townspeople to explore the manor once again. I went in and tried seeing what all the symbols in that one room meant but I couldn't figure it out.
The priest tells us that these symbols are a very dark necromancy spell, saying that it takes the soul/spirit out of the body and keeps them on earth. In Basic terms, forcibly making someone into a ghost.
The evidence is pointing to the fact that Mithos is the Ghost!
We then showed the priest the books that we had gathered from one of the basement rooms at Mithos's house.
I then started reading from Mithos's journal, he seemed to be talking a lot about different kinds of ghosts (Banshees, and other kinds of ghosts).
The Priest seems to be really concerned about owning these types of books and having them in your possession. These are not books normal people should have!
Me and the Priest can read the first 2 of the 3 books. Supernatural Mutations on Wildlife(elven) & Odnul Ravredd’s Treatise on Ghosts. (Dwarven), however, neither of us knows what the language of the third book is.
I put these books in my bag along with Mithos's Journal! However, I did read Mithos's Journal on the walk back. I found out that the circle was definitely what lead to making a ghost.
We then decided to head to the standing stones, which is the meeting place of the cultists. One day we may go check out Kalem Malith but for now, we are going to take the journey to the standing stones and check it all out.
We set out at about mid-day and then camped out for the night and also did the same the next day. I slept in a tree for the first and second night and Kersenky Broadleaf slept in a lean two with his bear. The plant boy stayed awake to keep watch during the night. We travelled to a spot that we assume is a few hour's journeys away from the standing stones. I learned a little bit about my fellow adventurers, they are pretty cool.
All/some of us awaken when there is something that is getting quite a bit too close to camp making an eerie noise.
Session #3- The Funeral
The Funeral!
We are arriving in town to go see the Alchemist! We arrive to town at about Noon! We split the money between everyone but the plant dude!
The Alchemist left with some hunters to go see some strange animals! (Strange beasts)
The Mayor says "Why would I be a cultist" he is trying to bridge the gap between the high elves and the wood elves.
I asked the mayor how far back the reports go about the strange beasts! - The oldest reports go back about a month but they are stranger and more severe in the past week.
The funeral is just after sunset southeast of town by about 10 minutes!
There is a young-looking woman in the armoury building when we walk in. It is the blacksmith shop, she is the blacksmith! The hunters left a couple of hours ago and probably went south! There is currently about 5 or 6 hunters! She seemed nice and smart, her father died and she has taken over the business. She totally just destroyed Elflock Drools with her logic and speaking, it was hilarious. She then wouldn't sell Him anything because he lied to her.
We then went into the chapel and talked to the priest. The priest has served the 4 gods his whole life and he was agitated about being accused of being a cultist. When asked about mithos being a cultist he said that makes sense and was wondering how much they truly could have gotten up to if he was a part of it.
The priest is going to relay the information that there is probably someone higher up in the food chain of the cult out there still.
I asked about any other suspicious characters in town. The priest then said that Kalem Malith is definitely somewhat suspicious.
We then go into the general store! There is a woman behind the counter, there are pots and pans and books and stuff like that. The most interesting thing in the shop is the staff that is on the wall behind her! The staff is the staff of divine providence. It costs about 200 GP's, it was the priest's friend's staff who died a while ago. She does not have much of an impression of mithos but he seemed rather shy. They rarely interacted and she did not know him well enough to suspect him of anything.
The funeral was going smoothly and all of a sudden wolves surrounded the area and we got into a tussle with them. There was a big wolf! There were at least 6 small wolves, Me and one of the guards dealt with 2 of them up top and now I have headed to go help deal with the big wolf!
Session #2 - Our Encounter with the Cultists
The Days of the Funeral! (Part 2)
We went into the basement through the secret room behind the bookcase. There was a Magic symbol room with some necromancy which was a little freaky. We then had to break through a door into a research lab, we saw some books, grabbed a potion a scroll, and some research notes!
Then we ran into some cultists and beat them up! I got pretty hurt in the process, I really didn't appreciate it! I then had to use my elixir of life (minor) and I felt a little better after that.
Kersensky Broadleaf (Brad Bergen) integrated Vam Vam and Krom Kas (He is the one who slightly knows spell things). They tricked Mithos into being the person they used this complex spell on and it killed Him. Krom Kas said "He was just dead"
(Vam Vam and Krom Kas were roommates in College)
Krom Kas then said that the person above Him was someone He did not know their identity was concealed. He then speaks about a meeting place with standing stones, about a day's journey away.
We then go upstairs after tying them up and leaving them with Kersensky Broadleaf (Brad) and da Behr.
There are a bunch of chairs up here with a spare bedroom, for a guy who was said to live it out alone it really seems like he had a lot of guests. Maybe cause he was a part of the cult and probably one of the leaders of it.
I then went into the other room and I decided to pick up the papers that are in there and the quill. The papers however are sadly empty, but I do think that maybe I will use them sometime in the future so I added them into my backpack.
Elflock Drools (Robby) has determined that this was murder because Krom Kas said he was killed down stairs and the bed was made and the other people said that he was killed in his bed. It is all slightly confusing to me but I believe Him.
I then went and raided the coin purse and took the 20 Gold Pieces out of it! Which I do plan on splitting with the party!
We then decided to head back to town with our 2 prisoners in tow.
