Participants: Swampy, Scrambles, Dretal
Locations: Elemental Shrine, Frozen North
Loose Threads: Kobolds pursuing unknown invaders
The following entry is written by Swampy. Our journey was time intensive but hardly anything to be worried about in terms of opposition. We began by seeking the Elemental Portal Shrine so we could use it to be transported to the Frozen North. We were dropped in the middle of nowhere in a forest. It took a while to get our bearings. The visions that were bestowed upon me were hardly helpful in this regard. We had to navigate solely based upon intuition. Heading South we encountered dragon-ilk: kobolds. The cowards were not my prey in the North and were spared my wrath. They did mention that their party was to help deal with the remnants of invaders. Who or what the invaders were are unknown, as well as who the kobolds served. I branded one of them with Ymeri’s Mark to keep a close eye on them. An editor's note by a guild official explains after following up on this, Swampy revealed he later detonated the spell, surely killing the kobold. We had to scour the frozen beach for a couple days until we found the correct area: a cave by the water. The defenses in that place seemed lacking to me, but proved a suitable challenge to my two comrades Scrambles and Dretal. There was a mummy or undead of some kind. I never bothered learning the specifics beyond knowing it was an abomination to the wellspring of life. There was also a frozen slime creature that came close to digesting me. The final challenge was a particularly odd one. Golems made from fresh edible pumpkins infested the final chamber where my quarry lay. A field of pumpkins served as a plentiful source of new golems for the already existing ones. A long and drawn out fight served as nothing more than a drain upon me. My allies worked hard and proved themselves. Dretal in a notable way by avoiding and countering; he has promise. Scrambles as well with his dominion over his boar and expertise in that halfling staff he uses. Hiding within the field of pumpkins was what I was looking for. The only relevant detail is the mission was successful. Another guild official note explains no amount of questioning could get a proper answer out of Swampy, Dretal, or Scrambles about what the party was looking for specifically. -
