Sharks
An adventure to investigate Jhanna’s old home went south almost immediately. The adventurers assigned to the task were ambushed by a group of three Land Sharks, or Bullettes as their official designation is known. The fight was bloody, and tough- with Quam the Warlock nearly finding himself slain once again. Fortunately, cooperation prevailed, and the ravenous beasts driven off.
Peace and quiet weren’t all they were cracked up to be however. Betwixt between Tarquin’s Golden Grass, lays the Named Nymph Olahn, spying on the Adventurers, seeking a particular quarry. However his intentions turned out to be good, together with the Galeb Duhr called Kruk, they were seeking to help Tarquin’s woes, a red gem stuck between his bones of stones.
When the investigation of this red gem started however, Jhannas trap was sprung, and the adventurers investigating the event had part of their being transported to her home, where they were fed, and caught a rest most tranquil and warm. There she offered her apologies for the way communications had been conducted lately. She laid out her plans for the Island, and her opposition to the Hobgoblins, spoke of the Dragon Kalalos and his ambitions which the adventurers had witnessed before, and offered them a pact. An alliance most unbreakable..
In a moment that may yet hold sway for years to come, the Vampiress got her wish. Three adventurers, who on behalf of the guild, aligned themselves with her and her designs for the Island via a blood pact. Yet if the guild feels this betrays her good intentions, or if otherwise the adventurers fall to evil, their expulsion shall swiftly follow.
A new path has been laid, let it be the right one!
Romancing the Stone
Brave adventurers escorted a supply of relief goods from the City to the tree creatures in the forest, yet distrusted the firmly sealed crates. After accidently dropping a crate, many martial weapons were exposed and the adventurers refused to deliver the supplies. At the same time they discovered that the receiving Tree-creature was actually a Fox General of the Beast creatures in magical disguise. The fox is now a living scarf for our Tiefling for the time being. The brave adventures continued however, knowing a starstone to be nearby. Stumbling upon the heavy frontlines between the Trees and Beast of the Forest, a dash was made to the Starstone lying in the middle of some heavy fighting. Again the stone was eaten by our Tiefling (who was promptly granted Eternal Life in return for undisclosed future favors). A fortuitous escape was made by our adventurers carried by the Orc who through magical experimentation had increased Large in size and could short-distance magically teleport. The decision was made to continue to the final Starstone nearby…
