Journal Entry from Micha Journal

Recounts of the previous night!

To all, I would like to share the events from this evening, in a manner before any tales and rumors can be told.... If anyone would like any further information, you may contact me in Docktown!...

I, Zane, and Hetrood were back peddling fighting the undead goblins and ogres in the green fog. We saw behind us some of the new adventures some braced for combat others gathered around a gypsy female. We hear a SCREAM, and saw a crystal ball of glowing green light drop from this female’s hand.

We then saw her still on the ground, Regele was just watching her and Kouga was close by looking worried. The crystal ball still laid on the ground and then it casted a cause mortal wounds at Zane.

Hetrood assisted in healing Zane, until he had all his body and protective's back up! We then form up with the others to assist in fending off the invaiding undead... I attacked by using "Bane the Undead".... Hetrood joined in on the attack casting Harm Undeads!
When Hetrood got to the gypsy girl he, noticed she in uncousious, and shouts for an Awaken Spell.... Zane rushes over with a potions from my pouch, which Hetrood handed to Regele to administer to his wife….

Hetrood shouted that he might need myself assistace, I ran to the aid of the young girl and casted a protective circle around her, to administer first aid, and see what she is in need of....

I saw her withering in pain on the ground. She appeared to be uncousious, just at that time there is a flash of magic from behind me and the circle drops I turned just in time to be hit with a paralyze spell from the glowing green crystal ball. I could see right before it hits me see a evil green eye looking at me in recognizition. Thankfully I was protected by a shield magic... I quick move close to Zane, and I then quickly targeting the Crystal ball "I summon a force to Destory Crystal Ball" .... I then proceeded to get behind Zane... Looking around the area for anyone else that might have just been affected by this magical attack ....... Then one hit the crystall ball exploded!

The force from the explosion seemed to harm some of the others...I saw Hetrood bleeding out, Ameana and Regele was bleeding out as well.

I quickly rush to their aid to assist in healing them all...! Once everyone seems to be okay, I begin trying to find out what had taken place.... I ask Ameana who responds "I passed out during a reading with my crystal ball"I again ask whats happening... Kouga responds: "Ameana fell to the ground and Relege rushed to her side and the crystal ball turned green with some kind of evil eye that was hurting Ameana and a fog appeared and started to hurt my nose. then the goblin zombies saw us. "

I let Ameana know that I reconized the eye in the crystal ball and asked what made it appear? She responded I was trying to find the reason for the green fog and trying to see the lay of the land. As I continue to question Ameana, I got this feeling she wasn’t sharing all she knew with us... when I question her about this she responded. Let me speak with Regele before I talk about this openly I let her know we too where investigating the green fog ... so any information they would have on it would be much appreciated... so that we maybe able to solve this issue....She continued to state that she doesn't want to mislead me with any information! I assure her that just sharing what she saw would not mislead us. She then told me “If i do very bad things will happen to us all, please trust me and save the lifes of all you hold dear.” She then leave crying with Regele ... I try to get more information from the Wolf pup but he doesn't know much more!......

The Reason I share this with you all is, THERE is apparently something out there, they do not feel comfortable sharing... While I do respect that decision, I believe we must then prepare for what ever Ameana saw... Until they decide to share with us what that is, so we can prepare accordingly, we must take action!!!!

Aug 31, 610

This has been a very unsettling night. I believe that Master Amasia, Kouga, Arazmas, and I should discuss plans on how to act together to protect this town and our lives. From what Master Amasia has said this was the first time that the Hags have attacked with un-dead. We must prepare for several living anf undead attackers from this point on.

Hetrood, it is not only that... but also the Hag did not seem to attack until we arrived back in Docktown? .... When my circle was destroyed and I turned to see what had caused it, I seen a "Green Eye" staring back at my, and felt as thought she even recognized me. So up until that point the "Hag" had not attacked or so it seemed?....

What I do know of the "Hags" is they will lure, and use ANY to do their bidding, offer them even what seem like immortally to get what they want done....

I do not know what was taking place before we arrived, but do know that our arrival seem to have provoked the attack .... It is my fear that theses new adventures are looking down a most dangerous path!......

Micah

Master Amasai,
My wife needed rest, and that is why she left without suffering you incessant questioning. She has just gone through a rather traumatic ordeal and needs little of your impatient badgering. If you will show some wisdom and wait you will have the knowledge you seek.

Regele,

How does Ameana fair? She was unconscious for a long time and was then hit very hard (as you and I were) from the explosion. Is she well??

Hetrood

Regele,

I can truly say that I was honestly concerned for Ameana, as well as everyone else... She could have simply stated, it was all too much now, and I would have respected that..... However the responses she was giving where very vague, and then wanted to discuss things with you. Of which I respected... however when someone tells my what they saw would "Do very bad things will happen to us all, please trust me and save the lives of all you hold dear" Of course I going to be even more concerned! ...... Not only for myself but for the other of Naringal, as well as you all!

Maybe you could see it from my prospective for just a minute .... I ASK for assistance... YOU all decline before even questioning what I might need.... then Regele you say you've released your reservations on assisting me.... I arrive into town to see the danger of my absent, then when I question what was taking place before I arrived, I get half-answers ......... I just wished to offer what I know for the "hag's eye" that I have learned FIRST HAND in dealing with ! ....

No matter what you choose to do, I just hope you fully understand the danger you ALL are in, due to the knowledge the Hags now have on you?

*delivered*
My fellow adventurers,

Allow me to interject as succinctly as possible; You are all fools and your child-like banter is as offensive as a chorus of northern hoblings. I would advise you desist your quarrels immediately. While Mistress Ameana was beyond ignorant in her attempts at divining and her cohorts were spectacularly inept in their assumption that their physical protection would produce a modicum of worth, I must admit my dismay with you, Master Amasai, as you should know better than to interrogate and accost these neophytes for their lack of education.

Since you are all appear to be incapable of discussing matters with one another allow me to enlighten you all in hopes that you will better understand.

To begin, the world which we live does not exist as a singularity, but rather as a convergence of distinct planes of power. As we all (should) know, the elemental planes converge to build the foundation of Tyrra; Fire, Stone, Air, and Water. These elemental planes are also bound in a whirlpool of greater planes that ensourcel our world, each with a distinct polarity to allow a balance in the universe. As it is stated in ancient tomes, “There are planes of Light, Darkness, Order, Chaos, Life, Death, Dream, Reason, and Time. Beyond this, there is a void of corruption that perverts and twists whatever enters it. Each plane is ruled by an Icon, an unbelievably powerful being said to be the personification of that plane itself.”

As some of us more seasoned adventurers have learned, ancient people in these lands created means to harness the powers of the elemental planes in order to power magical gates that allow for teleportation. If some of you will recall, the green hats (AKA the Hag’s army) was able to use these gates. I have theorized that the gates not only allow for travel between the lands of Tyrra, but also have the capabilities of allowing travel to and from the various planes and demiplanes in the universe. (I shall discuss demiplanes and their icons at another time if so desired.) The direct tie that these lands have to the outer planes explains why the creatures here seem more feral than those found elsewhere, and why these monstrous forces are working so diligently to control these lands.

Now then, allow me to come to a finer point. Hags are forms of mystic creatures with a distant tie to the planes of dreams and darkness. Therefore these creatures are masters of divinations and illusions and are sure to best any trifling a young inexperienced gypsy can muster. That said, an army of armed guards may be able to protect one from physical harm, but such actions are merely an exercise in futility against the arsenal that a covey of hags is equipped with. And as these hags are masters of deception and subterfuge, interrogating the young gypsy would only provide you with the information the Hags want us to know.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, your lack of solidarity and your inabilities to communicate have allowed to you to succeed only in failing. Congratulations. Perhaps once you have licked your wounds and tended to your emotional outbursts you can attempt to collaborate and learn from one another. If not, I will gladly use your bones to take back these lands.

Vaylen,

Your words so true!.... Allow me to share a TRUE tale and why I get so frustrated, it is as tho I am dealing with a dozen ZANES! ....

A little over a year ago now, my brothers and I left the Ash forest... and shortly began adventuring,
training ourselves, and practicing our skills.....

We hear of this Outpost around an area known a Naringal, and wanted to check it out... we arrived and was then shortly hired by Leo'Di something..... and went out.

It was then while scouting the area fighting off Goblins, ettercaps, spiders, and the sorts that My brother Balatro heard a lady SCREAM..... when he went to assist her, he came across and Beautiful Lady with bright Green Eyes, injured on the forest ground, he assisted her.... as a thanks she game him an Emerald and told him it would always protect us!....... He accepted.

The Artifact bonded to Balatro, he could not remove it.... but it did just as the lady promised.... as we traveled to many of land it keep him safe, healing him, shielding him, even bringing him back from the edge of death... It was truly an amazing item.

As Balatro got weak and traveled with us less and less, the same lady appeared before him in a dream and told him she could share the Emerald with me, for when I traveled without him, thus he did.... Then necklace then bonded with me, and I felt is mighty powers heal me and keep be alive .... UNTIL one night in my studies, as I was find the source of this mighty power.... I realized what I had acquired was the Eye of a Hag .... and the reasoning for "her" keeping me safe, was that I was doing her work.... I was assisting in clearing Naringal of the Black Hat, and the Wraith.... therefor she protected us .... HOWEVER once she realized I knew this she keep my on my toes, knowing at any time my life was around my Neck and she could end it .....

I let Zane know of this and we went out seeking a way to remove the "Eye" from my, and was able to do so by a Magical Pool..... that cleansed me, and got rid of the necklace ...... it however started to attack and Minions from all over started to come out of the wood, and darkness, and attack us.... they pick the "Eye" back up, and we fled for our lives ......

As you can tell .... these Hag prey on NEW adventures, offering them great things, but the risk you have to put out there is your life! ........

It is for that reason ALONE, I know how this HAG works!... It was HER I seen within that crystal ball, before I destroyed it!... It is for those reasons I WANTED ANSWERS! ..... At this point I will continue to do what I have done over the past years!.... focus ON what I KNOW, and TAKE ASSISTANCE WHEN OFFERED....NOT GIVE IT!..........

To all,

My suggestion is for everyone to let the actions of the past be done. If they wish to let us know what they found out, I'm sure they will in due time. If they don't, it doesn't matter because we still must perpare for every possible out come for this siege.

Our scouts have reported that the siege may be over soon, possibly in a few weeks. It looks like they are going to make one more push, but this will only be with goblins and ogres. The other forces have moved back to reinforce the siege on Haven.

If anyone wishes to contact me they can here in Docktown (enickgreycloak@yahoo.com)
