Today, for the first time in my life, I felt the need of writting my story. Of course, nothing of this will matter to anyone, but I would like to remember the moments of my life whyle I am sitting at an Inn's chair. Today was a particular interesting day. In the morning, Taislin, Theomir, and a new friend: Maelstorm (as well as myself, of course) went to the Grey Peak Mountains.Taislin was late, so the rest of us fought many Ogres. I am enjoying the use of my new Crossbow, and I never imagined that a ranged weapon could be so usefull. Anyway, we had a tough moment fighting an Ogre mage: Theomir and Maelstrom died. Fortunently, their souls could find a way back into our world. We had a tough time in the retreat too, but we didn't have any additional casuality.
We came back to Hlint, and I had a rest at the inn. When I went to the North of Hlint, I saw Taislin laying on the floor unconcious, bleeding. I ran to him and healed him, saving him from death: the duty of any servant of my Lord Toran. After that incident, Taislin and I gathered a group to help the citizens of Haven. I will not record the name of everyone since I'm running out of ink, yet I will writte the name of the one who was responsible for our survival: Kaider, a briliant swordmaster. We could save Haven, and then each of us followed a different path. I spent the rest of the day playing cards so I could pay for a magnificient Iron armor.
A few moments ago, I entered the crypt of someone...or something, whose name is Storan. I had to retreat do to the great undead presence, and my good frien Filluviel helped me on my escape. We both ran into two ladies, whose name is yet unknown too me. We entered the Crypt and defeated the undead in the first room. I stand now at the door to the second room, waiting for my destiny, but one thing is certain: I will not let anyone else die do to my lack of skills, and if I have too, I will meet my Lord this very day... The door is being opened... May Lord Toran guide me...

This is the third day in wich I writte a journal. I've lost the second page on one of my travels, but I will place it here as soon as I find it. I am writting now, in this bench in Hlint, after having my brain extracted my an Ilithid. I shall meditate for some days on this death, since I am in no condition of going there again. This was an interesting day. In the morning, I was sitting at this bench and Ireth said, when someone near mentioned that I was a Toranit, that she wanted nothing to do with Lord Toran. I came to know that some cleric and my friends Justain harmed her, not phisically but mentally, and I managed to make her understand that it was not my Lords's fault, but the fault fo individual followers, who didn't want to do any harm, but sometimes they failed to see what is really best. Then Jace, Taislin Burrik, Charos and I went to Fort Hope, then to the Blood Desert, then to the Sword Rust mountains. We fought some Satyrs along the way... I don't know if we should fight those creatures. It is true that they atack any creature that comes near, and they refuse to talk, but they care about each other and my smite doesn't indicate that they are Evil. We fought bravely when outnumbered, and Chorus became unconcious many times, I healed him three times, but my healing capabilities ended for the day adn I told him to run. Jace and Taislin, which were behind us, were ambushed. Jace fought and Taislin ran, and alone, Jace fought but was overwhelmed.I and Chorus defeated the Satyrs but when we went back to see our friends, the satyrs were following Taislin. I tried to fight while my friends ran, but they managed to land very strong hits in 6 seconds, so I retreated and folowed my Taislin and Corus, who were badly wounded. Chorus, was stuck by an arrow and fell, he died before I could do anything, so I kept running. We talked to Taislin about his "survival instinct" and Jace was leaving, for he didn't want to fight alongside Taislin again. I gave him my word that it wouldn't happen again, so we continued and in the rest of the trip there were no more casualities. I wonder if I can ever change Taislin, he keeps getting worse everyday, and although I've gave him some lessons (I caught him stealing from a house and made him to help teh comunity), he isn't changing a bit. We entered in a building wich I had never seen before in the sword rust mountains. When we entered, I almoust couldn't stand the palpable evil of that place. I knew that I had to do something about it, and when I found a torture chamber, my knowledge on religions made me see that that was a temple of Corath. We were too few, so we came back, but after I recover I will inform the temple in Llast about this. We entered the dungeon of the Eye and on the third floor we fell do to a mind atack that paralized me. Now I must rest and meditate, and try again another day.

Some important things have happened the last few months but have been not recorded do to having few time. However, now I am finally writting them up. The first was Taislin's trial and my attenpt to redeem him. The opposition at the trial was quite strong. However, he was only sent for prision for 60 days. I suppose it was fair, since he was judged by a cleric of Rofiren. I spoke to Taislin for some hours, and he began to understand that living an honest life was rewarding. I think he is getting better, since he refused to escape when Zanirth opened the cell's door. He decided to be a merchant, and sold me some molds at a price higher then the market price, but I thout it would be fair. Besides, it would just be better to convince him to stop stealing. I've also donated some Full Plates and Large Iron Shields for the church, to help future clerics and paladins. Taislin Woolhands, however, managed to get all the clerics of pyrothecon's ally (mist) after him after having spit on her temple in front of many clerics. The act itself wasn't bad, but he should have been invisible before doing it. I will do what I can to protect him, but I doubt I can do much against a whole church. Hopefully, Taislin has the aid of someother good people. If he has not, I can attempt to help him solve the situation peacefully. He got himself some disguises, but I doubt that they will keep him safe. My quest to find my Celestial roots is finally progressing. Many celestial entities have appeared fighting undead that seem to appear everywhere I go. When I help them, they say only: " Be carefull with the path you follow..." before vanishing. A celestial eagle also spoke about "A danger from beyond this plane...". I know not about this danger, nor about a strange ray that stuck me right before I was going to Sielwood to find the portal to Celestia, that is guarded by Ireth's daughter (Aarna) who hopefully will let me enter the celestial realms (Ireth told me she would talk to her daughter), and the information related to the portal was given by Ozymandias.I've spoken to the cleric of Aeridrin I helped many years ago. Unfortunently, he does not know anything about the portal that exists under Sielwood.I then went to the temple in Llast with Taislin, and I was told that I needed to get 3 gold nuggets so the cleric could create an amulet that would make me detect my celestial ancestor. Barion told me that gold could be found in a bandit cave in Rilara.
Some days later, I was able to, along with a group of friends, make it to the bandit caves and get some gold. It wasn't easy, thou, as we had a large resistance. Things are getting worse now, as the undead stoped appearing to give place to Bebiliths. I feel that soon I will be rewarded for my services, which will be crucial to survive these kind of threats. Taislin made me stronger and more dexterous, so I was able to create 2 gold ingots, which the cleric, along with a bit of my blood and hair, turned into the amulet. Now, I must find the Sielwood witch, who may help me find my celestial ancestor by scrying Celestia.Three questions remain thou, and I hope I may find the answer to them soon. Who sent that holy ray while I was in Hlint? And who is the enemy that seeks me? And, more important, why?
I also realized a few days ago that I need to get in contact with the other menbers of the church again. Ireth explained me why she disliked Toranites, why was her daughter so special and why Remiel is now an ex High Justiciar. I wonder how someone as Remiel rised in the church, and how close can a corrupt be without being noticed. Well, this ends this part of the journal. I hope I am up to the chalenges ahead, and that Lord Toran guides my mind and sword arm, as always.

Today I went to the Sielwood witche's house to try to find my celestial ancestor. I told her the whole story, for I trus that if she spies on Blood's forces, she must be a good person. Anyway, I do not believe that the information will cause harm to anyone. My celestial ancestor apparently is in a pocket plane, which will make him harder to find. The witch believes that the undead are related to my ancestor somehow, andI promissed her that I would tell her my progress. The undead appeared again, but this time, a celestial avenger came to fight them. Finaly, he was able to tell me before vanishing :" The undead...of course, the undead!". I belive that if I find the source of the undead, I will find my ancestor, or at least clues to his location. I've posted a request for information in Lord Toran's temple in Llast. I hope that someone answers. If no one does, I will have to find followers of Aeridrin and ask them, as the witch told me that they should know. Well, it is late, and I shall sleep by the camp tonight.

I am writting again after being abscent for two years. I had to leave for some time, to make sure I was worthy to become a champion of my Lord, to better serve him. Now The final battle came, and so I returned to try to do my duty again.
Today I went to Dregar for the first time. Bloodstone's forcescame to take Pranzis, taking advantage of the disorder in the throne. I sailed to Hurm, and from there Iwent to the East.I only knew that Lorindar ( the meeting place) was Southeast, and I wasgetting lost whenI saw a group. Theyhelped me find the way to the city, and thanks to them I was able to fight inthe battle. I met many people, some great adventurers, all who had answered the call. We were devided in four groups, and I was place in a hold group ( the alternatives were a scouting group and areserve group). My task was to help hold the West gate.It wasn't easy, as waves after waves of blood's forces came to take the city, and the soldiers and citizens were demoralized. I died and lost yet another part of my soul to the soul mother, but at least I did so while defending Pranzis and Lord Toran's temple. After some fighting, I went to the east gate, who had allready fallen to the hands of the enemy. I helped reloading the Balista and later I fired one. Pyyran taught me how to use them, and so I taught other volunteers there how to use the other two when Pyyran left. We held the gate for a long time, until the market fell and we were flanked. I tried to help the others at the market, and although we did manage to kill many of them, we were overwhelmed. Atacked from both sides, and by a very powerfull succubus, I fell again. We were not able to hold the city, and now only the citatel remains unnocupied. We did the best we could, and Bloodstone's forces suffered many casualties. But we *will* take Pranzis back, I am certain. And now I must rest, as we fought for three days and I am tired.

Today, while meditating in Lorindar about the fall of Pranzis, a guard came and asked for help. He had seen Drows and Demons in the Forest of Mists. A group of adventurers was also there, and quite an experienced group, and I went with them to investigate. It was the first time I was fighting demons ( with the exception of the bebilith while I was searching for my celestial ancestor) and I learned the hard way that some succubus have a powerfull death aura from which I am only protected after casting all my spells ( at that particular moment Aura of Glory had allready faded from me). I learned a lot about fighting Demons from the other members, and we killed many of those foul beasts. The flag I got at Pranzis was invaluable, as it made more resistant to all the poisons and other atacks, althou I am less protected agains phisical atacks do to the shield I am not able to wear. Apparently, the Demons were searching for a plane-touched metal in a nearby cave. We were not able to find neither the drow master or the demon master, but we know that they lie somewhere under the ocean... The cave was unstable and eventually we were unable to find an exit. We had to swim, and fortunently no one got drowned. We will have to continue searching another day, but before we have to find a way to not drown in the ocean...

Nothing particullary interesting the last days. I've donated 12000 gold pieces to Prantz, and then I saw in a post that Pratz doesn't need help. I hope I get my gold back, as I want to donate it to the church. I've started crafting weapons, and as i did with the armor, those I make that are not for miself will be donated to Lord Toran.

Gilmh · « **Reply #7 on:** September 27, 2006, 11:41:24 AM »

I called a meeting. Unfortunently, it went nowhere. Nothing was decided, except that we didn't have enough power to do anything it seems. About Prantz I mean. I don't even know what happened to the people that were to be executed, as I had to prepare to the ceremony... I had the honor of being one of the candidates to be a Champion of Toran. I hope that I can become one so that I can better serve my Lord. If I am not, then I trust his wisdom, that I am not yet prepared.
