I have finally reached Undying grove after traveling the coast for the better part of 2 weeks. Leaving one life behind to start another is always a daunting task, lucky for “I NULKA” has a contact in the area her name is Mira. Mira and I go way back as she is an acquaintance of my Master’s circle so it not like her and I know each other very well.
I was in a bit of a bind noticing that the goal
I wish to achieve feels like crossing a deep abyss knowing what secrets may lie
in it maw will give me what I crave but at the same time it can consume me in
one deathly grasp. As I waste all of my gold to gather what tools I may need
for the voyage and to pay the smugglers to get me as far north as they can get
me. I took the time to get myself settle in the local area as I ran into Mira
at the local tavern. We talk a bit to catch up and to waste a bit of time, but
as blunt as ever I get straight to the point and ask her if she has any side
jobs she needs help with. By the Exalted ones, she did have one and it deals
with my expertise. Eagerly to get the task at hand Mira told me that expedition
doesn’t leave until the end of the week. So in the meantime, I work some odd
jobs for Mira as much of I love catalog a collection of magical items to make a
small profit and also to have a roof over my head. My mind and the fiery soul
told me that need to fight and bleed to prove that Magic is as much as an art
as mastering the sword nothing feels better than show one fortitude as two
people risk it all for just a couple of gold pieces and their pride on the
line. Death scares me nonetheless as my master told me something which I will
keep close to my heart, “A man can do anything if only he is the will to sacrifice
anything”...
It is now the Day in which we set off to escort Mira to some unknown tome I am excited, nervous but excited nonetheless. Oh my before continuing about that, I met the new crew that I shall be traveling with for the time being of course. At first glance, you can tell even if you are a nautical mile off the port bow of a ship that these are adventurers. The first person of the group that
caught my eye is a dwarf druid that goes by the name Tito strange creature but knowing druids on how they perform out in the world they are like fighting a tree with steel plates for fist. Standing next to him is a Human male fighter nonetheless... how plain... but I may be quick to judge the human race as they tend to be very adaptive to stressful situations. Next came the tiefling man called Corvus can’t say who he is yet but the sword seems to be magical at first glance…. Very Interesting… Last but not least is Wulf the Artificers to be honest it maybe my eyes that are going to shit. I can’t tell if Wulf is a Bugbear or Hobgoblin….. I will have to further inspect that theory later. Though Wulf seems a capable fighter in my eyes as his contraptions have a lethality in their functions. A mighty fine crew they all have their quirk and skills but we shall see as the best test of fate is when you have to depend on each other in the fray of battle...
We all arrive at the Ancient ruins teleport by none other than Mira as... I do have to admit she is the better spellcaster of the party for now at least. The ruins themselves are simply marvelous for Aeonian but one can only wonder how long did the Divine Cataclysm last as if it killed an entire empire in a matter of years only leaving the structure they left behind. While I was at school many Scholars have theories that there could be a couple of years missing history in the actual events of the Divine Cataclysm… Nonetheless but to the topic at hand. I have discovered a purple mist in the interior of the ruin the main school of magic at play is transmutation. It didn’t ring to me that as we slowly delve into the ruins many of the crewmembers are increasingly getting hungry as almost full of gluttony. I do hope we find what we need in godforsaken ruins for Mira and If I can gather more knowledge for the goal before it too late for------
As Nulka drools on the Orange leather book smearing the page with his saliva, losing the sentence in the process
(Nulka's session 2)
Well well… where to begin, now that we have camped for the night. We delve deeper into the ancient tomb encounter many different obstacles. One dealing with placing a set of dragon statues we have collected throughout the tomb, and another one was pushing 4 doors at the same time splitting the group. Arrrr... All task were trivial at best, just have to set your scopes at the larger picture. At the very end of the tomb, we entered a large chamber at the center of it lies a large sarcophagus to what lies inside at that very moment was definitely the question we all were asking in our heads at the time.
Out of nowhere came the monster that guarded this sarcophagus. Took us all surprise as it FELL from the ceiling! As everyone was shocked and getting ready for combat I took a moment even in mist combat to admire this creature. It shows so many strange characteristics as this “Red Blob” created a strange aura that emanated the atmosphere stimulating the endocrine glands in a creature’s body assume the creature has one, of Course, HAHAHA!! . YES me Hearty!, I will call it the Red Blob from now on until I have researched it a bit further. I did collect some samples which I am glad to acquire. Then came what was inside the sarcophagus what lied inside of it where:
● 1000 Gold
● 1700 Silver
● 3000 Copper
● An Unknown Potion
● An Unknown Scroll
● A strange Relic which we gave to Mira…
I have a mild paranoia about Mira and her intention toward that relic we have recovered in the tomb… I do hope that what I am pondering about lies fictional instead of becoming the truth. Nonetheless, we must have a wary eye on Mira on the upcoming events that. Only when it’s complete darkness is when evil will come out.
Once the dust had settled, I had a chance to talk to Corvus about where do we go from here. Corvus invite me to stay with the crew for a bit and I accepted the offer… Maybe what I am doing is wrong... I should’ve just left while I had the chance. Then came to shoot out the cold dark night, “The Red Star in the sky” is supposed to show that a
great soul has ascended from our mortal realm. ARRR… bull shit to that…. If that the case WHY
AM I NOT UP THERE!!!
