Full Report
We started our journey in Roanokae Camp there is poverty and a lot of refugees there, so I recommend that the team heading to these areas equip themselves well before going through the portal, after discovering that there are no healing potions to buy in the camp, we set off on a 9-day journey to the village of Sunnyside, we took a longer route around the mountains to avoid the coalition territory, the journey passed without any problems, however after passing 2 rivers, on the fifth day of the march we came across an unnatural bald clearing with a hole in the middle, we considered it an interesting enough phenomenon to approach and investigate the situation, after approaching it turned out that the hole is actually a many-meter precipice with steep and landslide walls. Of course we went down and discovered a large boulder of some hard metal ore.
So if anyone needed a more graphic description, the whole place looks a bit like a giant shot a boulder into the ground with a large musket. After sustaining several injuries and risking the death of the hammer, we managed to chip off a piece of the mineral so the guild could examine the sample. After taking the sample, we exited the hole to continue our mission. On the sixth day, the road turned into a veritable maze of trees, but thanks to the compass, even that didn't stop us, but that same day we were attacked by a gang of bandits consisting of a gremlin, a bear, and two deer, which ended with a hearty feast that evening. Two days later we reached Sunnyside, where as it turned out, everyone spoke "Escapee's Tongue" and Fey, due to the fact that there are a lot of Fey creatures in the city. On site, it turned out that the children began to suffer from a strange disease, their skin began to grow crystals, which as it turned out are highly contagious. talking to the children didn't yield much information, apart from the possibility of getting sick with crystal scab, so we headed towards the north gate to track down the places where children usually played, there we found a pack of wolves infected with crystals, but instead of attacking we retreated and then followed them, tracking their tracks, after 2 hours of walking north we noticed an increasing amount of crystal corruption, crystals covered the bark of trees in places where animals brushed against them, squirrels, rabbits and birds with crystal growths were running everywhere, the birds couldn't fly so they crawled on the ground. There we were attacked by 2 completely crystal scorpions and a large toad infected with crystals.
the toad was wiped out with one blow of the sword of our swordsman in a beret, but the scorpions thanks to their cowardly teleportation and long-range sting shooting almost massacred the entire team, after a hard fight, stung by stings and bleeding from the blows of the pincers, we won and then after dressing the wounds and the blessing of a kiwi from the wood element, we regained our strength and went to the very heart of the filthy corruption, which turned out to be... A charming peaceful oasis with a weeping willow and a pond, or more precisely an old dragon numismatist who slept under it. It turned out that the dragon named Seraktoro collects statuettes and dug up a statue of some dwarven Buddha monk in an abandoned mine in the north. the statue is apparently cursed because the dragon soon became covered in crystals to the point that he couldn't move and nearly starved to death lying in that oasis. So we fed the dragon, bringing him back to life, took the statue so the guild could examine it and send a team of mages and medics better equipped to combat the curse. important information: The statue can charm other creatures, even a dragon to touch it, the statue causes crystal scabies when you touch it.
