From the Journal of Leon Vespers:
20th of Goodmonth
Yeaa Haw, Back from the dead and trying to get myself killed again. Well, you know that ain’t quite true. I’s still has a lot of things I got to do yet. The back field got to be thrashed and all before high summer. I has gotta find me a Girlfriend etc. Need a bath and my cloth washed. That could be why I can’t find a girl friend too!
Well ya all, we when back to the ruins in the Bear cave, today. We saw the damnest’s thing too! A living statue. Cussed hard skinned critter too! Damn near shatterred Jarel’s Sword. Busted the blade from the hilt. I did loaned him my axe while I was working the blessing of Pholtus into mighty magic to destroy the critter. It had seems to me that the mundane weaponry of man was not working that well. The Light of Pholtus did blast its rocky butt back to what ever ether it came from. In pieces.
Everyone decides that since we are without anymore gifts of Pholtus and our mortal weaponry being in dire need of repair that we should return to town. Jarel had not done my axe any great kindness to it on the hide of the critter’s rocky hide. Still it is a tool and did its job but I got to get that fixed before Grandpa see it.
21st of Goodmonth
Back at Town, we got Andren, who now working as Fandrula's apprentice, to try and repair Jarel’s sword. He will also try and sharpen an old short sword we found in the ruins for Pandora too!
I took my axe to Almyr Alradras. We should be able to get all of our weapons back tomorrow. We also picked up a pick axe and a crowbar, Brent wants to be able to dig through the rock fall in to west side of the ruins. And I want some to assist opening those damn doors
So ya all know by now, we ain’t got no real weapons, but we got a PHoltus still has a job for us to do. The farmer, Joseph Strandu, had ran into town screaming that some creatures were coming out of the sinkhole on the combat forest that we had practiced on as soldiers. His farm is nearby that strench of woods and he wants Master Marchmen Tarwin to get the troops out after them. The Master Marchmen, since we were near, I guess we reporting in, sent us out as advanced scout. Hey! he even loaned us weapons to fight with. While he gathers up the properly dressed soldiers to response to the threat.
So we gets out there and we see a lizard like dude with a spear. Jarel, the noble holy warrior that he is, decides to fairly challenge him and ask him what he is doing there. The lizard man screams and hissed and advanced with his spear lowered for a fight. He also had a few buddies with him as well. At this point , Jarel decide to try his detection of evil, Sure enough, 4 mean looking lizards holding spears pointed at you does detect as evil.
Who have thunk it.
So Jarel pierces one of these lizard guys and Pholtus be praise we were not in a closed room. Worst then a set of oxen eating fermented beans for a month. Kriekie that was foul. I is already a stinking cause I not yet from a place to wash my clothes, so I charges in an split this first one from the mortal plane. Jarel finds another trying to flank him. He lends to assistance in its leaving this plane as Brent and Pandora exchange missile fire with another. That might have been more fair if these poor critters could throw their javelin without destroying them in their own hands. I see a last one and charge it as well. It appeared to have already received some tokens from Brent’s crossbow so he left this plane rather quickly, it truly leaving a foul stench of rotted fish, stewed and sweeten to rank perfection. Damn, I need a bath.
So we report back, to Tarwin and turn in our loaned weapons. Tarwin sends the now dressed 2nd March to deal with anything else we did not see. I cast the blessing of Pholtus and heal us back to a hale state.
Hey we got a couple of Javelins and some stone axes and a bit of silver. Don’t know what to do dem stone weapons but hey, Its not like a few spare weapons seems like a bad idea. We should get our steel back tomorrow.
22nd of Goodmonth
A busy morning, So during breakfast we are realizing that some thing do not seem quite right. One, Lance has returned from the dead as well, and is much smarter then we remember him being last week. I seem to really like my meat to be very raw! And Pandora no longer has a shadow.
We go immediately speak to Mother Lewvanos, and Father Sobir. Lance being smart is really creepy! And mention these things. While they think it is usual, the do not seem unduly worried. It appears Father Sobir is wearing the sacred pendant of St Josthema…
I don’t think Father Mulcahie would approve…
. Ok, I don’t even have the guts to find out but I know it ain’t gonna shine his shoes.
So we go get the weapons Andren been working on. Jarel sword is in fine form, Andren has the touch of a possible master with steel. The Sword is keen, its balance actually seems better then before it was damaged. Pandora “old sword” looks new and battle ready. Andren shows great passion for his trade. It will be well to see him mature.
I got my axe back. Clean and showing little wear. A good job.
We report in to Tarwin, the 2nd March found some more lizard creatures; missile fire and proper soldier’s uniforms sorted them out cleanly. Since we are not needed today by Tarwin we returned to the ruins.
But before we can leave town, Maronlyn Branwitch, runs by looking for Gherta. Gherta is no where to be found. Maronlyn does not seem amused by our assumption that a 16 year old girl would be “just” off with a boy somewheres. So we do a start a search for Gherta, as Maronlyn goes to the guard.
We do find Gherta, with Andren, … Well that was a bit awkward. She appears to be unharmed and not distressed. She too seems to appreciate Andren’s passion...
ahem.. like I said a bit awkward. Well We sort that out, Jarel must not be much fun at a barn dance. Or Gods Day picnic. Anyway Gherta is unharmed. We make sure the guard is stood down, and we let Gherta explain what was going on to her mum.
And then we finally head out to the ruins.
We are trying out the east passages this day. Sabrina for some reason washed the map. We will have to redraw it on cleaned paper. I setup a stash of firewood and some of the stone weapons at the small room we had originally gain access to the ruins.
So anyways. The first room we get to has evil magic. A red gem-like crystal pendent on a necklace, a throne-like chair for a huge creature and a portrait of a huge skull faced guy sitting on this throne, wearing the gem, surrounded by a huge pile of skulls. Charming. There is also a bronze wood desk, it maybe repairable and for a study later. The Crowbar seems to help a bit opening the doors. We are opening the second room now….
