Notes to guide me in His service - Praise Vorax

[davidhoff]

Well O'ive been makin me rounds about Mistone.  O'ive seen many new cities and towns and have found me ways te help some good folk.  Been keep'n de roads clear of bandits n oter badies, especially de Goblins dat got der base camp in a red cavern near Hlint.  Vorax has blessed me and kept me safe n Oi em truly thankful dat he has chosen to shine on meh.

I seek ways to serve him in all Oi do and he always shows me a way to do his will.  Oi've met some real nice adventer'n folk and also some fellow Voraxians.  Zig be one of me best friends now.  He serves Vorax but he does it in a natural way.  He don't loike minin n such, but he makes Vorax proud and es a good kinsman.

Had a real strong Voraxian war party de oter day.  Some real foine dwarven folks were with meh along wit some oter humans me tinks.  We ventured te de Draogon Isles to clear de paths tru the isles and make dem safe of the moradin beasts.  Vorax was proud of us dis day as we all fought bravely in battle and killed many a foul beast.  We conquered a cave inhabited by some nasty bassered minatours.  De were tough opponents and fought very strong.  By Vorax we won the cave and pushed de beasts back.  Dis day Oi fought with some proud Voraxian Kinsman who Oi will name: Yurax Proudax, Gunder Harbist, Zigruum Frostbeard, Brarrg Rarrgralinson and Jacrum Shieldbreaker.

We had a bit of an interestin squable outside de cave with a Grey Dwarf (Gladyus) dat jus showed up.  He wanted to join us, but me and Yurax n Zig told em to get or he'd be sorry.  He didn't take us serious loike, so we had let it know we would not tolerate its koind.  Vorax be praised dat we ran the evil away as de coward it was cause it would nay stand n foight.  It's talk bout Prantz n such made meh sick n Oi was glad we beat it scared.  Made meh proud dat we kinsman stood our ground and let all know that Vorax will not be messed with.  FOR VORAX!

Dis Oi learned.  Well, Yurax was deh one dat initially stood his ground against deh Deep Dwarf, n Oi only helped by back'n him up.  I sat on deh soidelines till Yurax made his move.  Oi shoulda been first teh do somtin as soon as Oi knew he be a Deep Dwarf n dat he was taunting his evil ways.  Next toime Oi come across one Oi'll beh ready.  Praise Vorax fer dis lesson.

[davidhoff]

Vorax be praised.  We traveled to de Gloom woods de oter day n smited some undead toype creatures.  Meh, Zig, Gunder and some otter dwarf the name escapes me now all traveled der and by Vorax put the beasts down.  Vorax gave us strength to do his will and every day I follow his path fer me Oi grow stronger.  Oi even managed te get a nify cloak outa de mission by some ole badger dat was held up in a fort near by; he wanted em put down too but Oi can't remember why.  Oi did it cause Vorax guided me der and lead me to thet beast so that his will could be known and his name be heard across dat land and feared by the foul beasts.

On another day we formed an even stronger Voraxian Warparty.  Meh, Zig, Gunder, and Unther and dis carrot top named Dot.  Unther follows Dorand, but on dis day we were doing Vorax's business so on this day Oi praised him for his help.  Dot be a human mercanary toype, but she fought well, and helped our Voraxian warparty prevail in battle.  We put many a goint down in Dregar in glorious battle, shouting VORAX through out the land so all de goints would know and fear Him.  

Sometin unusual happened on de way out.  We were comin outa a cave full of foire opal deposits when Unther ran into a trap on our way oot.  Dat was not der before...someone had came up behoind us loike.  We found de bassered round de corner...Dark Elves.  Evil, dark-meat hybrids of the surface long ears.  By Vorax we slayed each n every one of them.  We couldn't a dun it wit out de Father of Battle that day ...Oi just know it.  Oim not sure were de be comin from, but Oi heard somtin bouot darkies bein held up by de Gray's in Prantz.  Maybe de let em loose n dats were de been hoidn out.  Eiter way, now they not beein n issue anymore.  Slayed and Put to death on de spot.  Vorax has shown favor to me n meh comrads and fer dat Oim eternally greatful...I will continue to strive to do his will every day.

Dis Oi learned.  In deh battle te glorify Vorax deh dwarves n deh true Voraxians beh deh best of comrades, but Oi will come across others dat Oi will foind can serve His purpose aswell.  I should not beh quick te judge, but give oters deh chance te help me serve Vorax n der way.  Praise Vorax fer dis lesson.

[davidhoff]

Oi would loike te make a note bout some crypt Oi went in de that some called Storan's.  There be undead, mummies, des dark shadowy toype creatures n some oters.  All abominations and enemies of Vorax.  I was proud dis day te cleanse the place of evil and put a smoile on His face.  I enjoy doing His work and every day I praise his name for allowing me to be in His service.

I am growing fonder n fonder of Gunder n Zig especially.  We have many talks bout Vorax and how to know his will and best serve em.  My faith continues te grow with me fellow kinsmen and Brothers of Vorax.  It helps te have a support group of believers te keep de faith strong.  I will hunt wit dem till my days are done n Vorax takes me to his side.

Dis Oi learned.  Meh growth in Vorax truly comes in glorious battle, but it also comes in between battles as I talk amongst kin at deh war foire.  I must keep meh ears open at deh foire n listen teh take it all in, so dat I may further grow to strive te know His will.  Praise Vorax fer dis lesson.

[davidhoff]

Met a kinsman deh other day named Belly Tinker.  Hunted wit em down in deh forest on Dregar.  He tell meh he can't choose between Dorand er Vorax.  I told em I was a Paldin of Vorax and troied ta convince em ta come ta Vorax.  He say he loike em both...Vorax fer foightn n Dorand when he be at deh anvil.  I tell em Vorax be the true god ta follow as he gives us power n moight tru out deh day, ta battle our enemies n do what be roight as dwarves.  Also, dat he can pay respects ta Dorand n his followers, but ifn he wants to feel the full glory of Vorax in battle den he needs ta choose.

He said he tink bout it n I nay pressure him ta much.  I'll give deh kin some toime n hopefully he come around.  I planted deh seed loike n now I hope he comes round not by meh preachn but by meh acts and devotion.

Had a good run deh oter day down at an ole goblin camp in deh Forest of Dregar.  Bunch a folk come...and kin te.  We slayed deh blood bassereds n made meh feel good te, cause dats where meh n Zig done went ta before n got beat down.  We was toired n used bad tactics, but we fought wit honor n doied respectul loike.  Nay dwell on dat, dis toime we came back n fought em good n made Vorax proud.

I enjoy huntin wit deh Voraxian kin...I come ta know three now dat I been traveln wit alot...Zig, Gunther n Yurax.  Not much can stop us four n I feel the power of Vorax strong in us when we be battln.  It seems dat deh more Voraxians weh got in our warparty deh power of Vorax be stronger n stronger.  I look forward ta more travels wit fellow Voraxians and it strenthens meh faith ta have em round.  Praise be ta deh Fatha of Battle!

Dis Oi learned.  Beh understand'n ov deh followers ov Dorand, for deh also further deh purpose ov deh dwarves.  Nay all are meant te beh warriors ov Vorax, n those are best te do der things der way.  Its best te be true teh Vorax in yer words n yer actions, n let others come te Vorax based on dat if deh so choose.  Praise Vorax fer dis lesson.

[davidhoff]

Funny ting now dat Oive been out n about, been seein all toypes of goblins, orcs, n other creatures dat talk n seem ta act normal loike.  Don't know wat ta make of it.  Was out one toime n ran into a horde of goblins in deh redlight caverns n all of em said deh were foightn deh red loight goblins...sometin bout some civil war.  There was bout foive ov dem n they had all der pets out te, so I was a bit outnumbered.  Lucky fer meh day spoke ta meh n asked meh to join dem, but I declined asn I wasnt sure of der purpose n der trust.  I pray ta Vorax ta help meh with these situations.  For the most part I stay way from des toype creatures, but I must admit some a dem seem not so bad from what I could tell.  I'll keep meh guard up fer now, but also meh moind open meh tinks on dis one.

I also been meetn lots of folk dat worship all koinds of different gods.  Lots of Illsare type lovers out der.  Some of dem Illsarians even think of dem selves as foighters, imagine dat.  I revel when I can foight long side meh Voraxian kin, but sometoimes fate steers meh into a situtaion where meh purpose is deh same as deh Illsarians.  I pray to Vorax fer guidance on these toype pridiciments.  I make sure deh others know I am a Voraxian Paladin and dat we gona do tings Vorxian way.  Still, ders lots of confusion der when ye run wit other god worshipers and lots of wasted talk bout dem tryin ta say der god is dis n dat.  This be somtin I have to battle with much in de future meh tinks, and hopefully Vorax will lead meh to keep my resolve and further his purpose, but still be able ta work wit others ifn deh need be der.

I noticed deh stars fer Toran be dimmer dan normal loike.  Heard rumors about Toranities feeln less ov der powers.  I hope this ends soon, cause weh need de Toran followers, n day got a foine clergy dat helps Vorax n his ways.  I will speak to meh brothers about what weh can do and also to deh Toranities.  If Toran be weak, den Vorax need to be stronger ta make up fer da gap in power.  Our enemies will certainly be tryin ta take advantage of dis situtaion, so we need ta not show weakness, but more outward strenth.  Praise be ta Vorax!

Dis Oi learned.  Oi will come across all deh walks ov loife it seems.  Oi seen goblins, orcs n others dat most ov meh kin would kill on soight n never ask questions bout it.  I need teh keep n open moind as His Divine Servant, and show all deh world dat Vorax is powerful, but dat He is not ignorant and barbaric.  Deh folk will look teh meh and Oi am deh reflection ov Vorax on dis world.  Oi need teh be vigilant in His ways always.  Praise Vorax fer dis lesson.

"Culling the Trolls" - Osxmallard 7/5/10

Dis be a good day, cause I helped some folk chase down some trolls dat were tryoin ta raid deh area near Lan's Port.  I was nay der for deh initial assault, but met up wit deh group as deh prepared ta give chase after deh beasts.  We had a large group met heavy resistance as we tracked dem.  We battled shaman n warrior trolls.  Weh foinally found deh evil pit in a cave loike.  Many of us fell in battle, but by Vorax it was glorious battle!  We killed all dat weh saw and claimed name to dah cave.

Vorax be praised cause he showed meh my strenths n weaknesses in battle dis day.  Weh made some poor tactical decisions, n Oi know now I never shoulda stood fer it.  Next toime I speak meh moind, n wait till all deh group assembled before we strike a large force.  We got hit on two flanks, n Oi shoulda seen dat comin too.  I will survey deh lay of deh land betta next toime, n come up wit a betta battle plan.  Vorax be praised fer shown meh my mistakes n never given up on meh.

Deh battle was victorious n I know now even more the power of Vorax!  His might flows thru meh axe n I can feel a tingle down meh spoine as I enter battle and know He der stride fer stride wit meh.  I spread deh word of Vorax in all of meh travels n Oi feel his name and recognition becomin stronga n stronga.  More n more folks be know'n Vorax n the good deeds I in kin be doin.  We are grow'n in follwers and I see deh Voraxians becomin a power on Layonara loike none have seen before.  Praise Vorax!

Dis Oi learned.  Vorax beh strong, but If'n ye be stupid n ye battle tactics ye will be wast'n His Moight.  Der was n elf wit a small group ov us dat went ahead, n dat elf foired first on deh trolls.  Oi should a seen dat com'n n commanded him in battle te stand down.  Oi nay said noth'n n we all were consumed by deh trolls.  Next toime, by Vorax, his Paladin will say somt'n.  Praise Vorax fer dis lesson.

[davidhoff]

Oi went ta go see about a feller dat needed some help.  I got ta deh tavern der in Fort Vehl n found meh self wit a bunch of utter folks.  Dis brash human came out say'n he needs help recovern soma his tings from some peace lover toypes.  Roight from deh get it didn't rub meh roight.  Why he need help against some whimpies?  He not man nuff ta get his own tings from dem?  Why would da loight weights be takn his stuff n da first place?

Well, seems he nay wanted ta give many details n didn't care bout how da job was done.  I left all dem shady folks der n told em ta go get da stuff himself ifn he was man enuff.  This was no deed ta glorify Vorax and Oi nay wanted His name associated wit somtin loike dis.  My toime n energy best serve Vorax in glorious battle, not some underhanded hit on some folks I knew notin abut.  By Vorax Oi must stay true ta his purpose fer meh in grow so dat I can glorify His name.  I prasie Vorax fer guidn meh away from dis feller n his shady ways.  Praise Vorax!

Dis Oi learned.  Sometoimes somt'n may seem roight te pursue based on what others tell ye, but is best te dig deep'r n try te learn deh true purpose ov tings before ye commit deh power ov Vorax teh deh task.  Praise Vorax fer dis lesson.

Redeemer's Quest - Call of the Land - 8/24/10 (retyped lost forum post)

Aye, so we went teh Krashin te seek out why deh wolves on deh oice be kill'n folk n investigate rumors a unusual tings der.  Weh got der n met a bunch a others dat came te help.  We sat n talked whoile, but der was one Oi had meh eye on, dis dark fella in black (Stygian).  I sensed sometin evil bout him dat made meh stomach tighten to a knot.  I said noth'n at deh toime, we marched off te investigate.

In deh woods we killed many a wolf, but des be already dead when deh attacked and movi'n wit energy ov evilness.  We finally came cross what deh druid types deermined was deh source ov deh evilness, some cloud of mist it seemed te meh.  I went to test it by throw'n a bottle a meh holly water in der.  I was immediately pulled in like someone grabbed meh by meh arm.  I was a goner, if not fer some ov deh others dat saw meh gett'n taken away n helped meh out.

More taitned wolves came te us whoile deh druids troied teh remove deh curse on deh land.  Dis one fella ov deh land, Enzo, prayed teh Folian n was granted a magnificent wolf te help us foight.  It was a difficult foight, but we was victorious in deh end.  Praise Vorax for giv'n meh strenth at dis toime a need.  Oi never knew how deh curse came upon deh land, but dat dark fella seemed awful happy he come along.

Dis Oi learned.  Trust the instincts dat Vorax give ye, n do somtin bout it.  I had a feel'n bout dat feller, n Oi nay did noth'n te keep him from better'n his evil knowledge.  I said to deh others what Oi felt, but dat was nay nuff.  I should a escorted deh dark fella outa our party or done somt'n te keep him from learn'n more a his evil ways.  Praise Vorax fer dis lesson.

Dis Oi learned.  Vorax is strong and I am strong wit him, but sometimes Oi need others.  If it was not for deh help ov deh lads dat pulled meh outa dat cursed mist, Oi would have surely been consumed.  To serve Vorax Oi will need Vorax, me and meh companions te carry out his purpose n will.  Praise Vorax fer dis lesson.

Letters of Love - Mixafix - 8/5/10

So Oi met wit some others dat said deh were help'n a lad foind his long lost fatha.  We had some clues dat led us te deh mountains up in Hammerbound.  Der we met some barbarians dat told us ov a mage up furtha in deh hills dat may know somtin.  We found dis mage and he said he knew deh boy's fatha and dat his fatha had found some unusual ore n had gone teh a town (//can't remember the name of the town now) te foind out more about deh ore.  We was chased by bandits com'n outa deh mages tower, but by Vorax we put em down quick.  Deh were no match fer meh axe.  Soon Oi will travel te dis place meh hopes teh foind mer.

Dis Oi learned.  Deh purpose ov Vorax n dis task was not clear te meh at first.  It started dat Oi felt bad fer deh boy n wanted teh help him, but in help'n deh boy Oi found a purpose fer Vorax.  I was able te demonstrate te deh others me faith n Vorax, n I found dat even in tings dat seem small at first der always be n opportunity te show others deh pride n power a Vorax.  Praise Vorax fer dis lesson.

[davidhoff]

Trust the Axe - Troll King - 10/2/10 final

I answered deh call of Kin from Molten Isle.  Deh dwarves of Rhugal's Realm beh need'n meh help.  Deh town ov Thoraz had been moin'n n deh run into some Deep Dwarves.  Deh traitor kin was surg'n n deh had numbers dat threaten'd teh overtake meh kin n deh town of Thoraz.

We had a glorious group a kin dat came teh help.  In particular der was Kobal, a moighty dwarf dat was a Regent.  If not for Kobal, Oi tink our party may not have been accepted teh help deh kin on Molten cause deh were very skeptical bout outsoiders.  But deh knew him n his deeds.

We fought many a battle te help our kin der.  Meh quill go outa ink if'n Oi troied teh write em all here, so nay will Oi try.  Oi will try cover some ov it.

At one point der was some sick look'n kin com'n from deh battle loines.  A Rhugal leader called em "Rotters".  Turns out deh were sick from deh battle, had turned weak a stomache.  Oi was ashamed ov dem n said deh should be sent teh cook wit deh woman folk.  Deh Rhugal leader said nay, deh aint fit even fer dat, but der is still a purpose fer dem.  Turns out deh Rhugal kin put deh Rotters up front in deh battle loines te doie a warriors death n take some ov deh enemy's stroikes.  At deh toime I thought dat be a good way teh deal wit dem since deh turned yella.  Kobal was nay happy wit dat n wanted teh foind a cure fer dem.  I now see Kobal's wisdom n think maybe der was a way te save em.  Deh be kin after all, and I tink me embarrsment ov der yellowness caused meh te tink n a way not glorify'n Vorax.

After many battles we were victorious.  We had te hold a plateau n fought off many traitor kin.  We took some causualties, but we held dat place strong.  Later we were asked te help in a final push.  We were te rush deh traitor kin in an attempt te sieze der supply stash.  It was a gruel'n battle, but we found deh stash n destroyed it.  Thoraz was saved n deh traitor kin were pushed back.

Dis Oi Learned.  Kobal showed meh a softer soide dat Oi had nay knew about.  Oi was all "axe n battle" n he was more reasoned and think'n bout tings.  Oi learned from him dat we always need te respect our kin, even deh ones turned sick from battle.  As a paladin a Vorax, it is meh duty te see tings dat others don't and teh further deh purpose ov our kin.  Oi shoulda looked for another way te heal deh Rotters, instead ov approv'n der move te deh front loines.  I respect Kobal fer stand'n his ground n show'n meh dat Oi need te think bout tings more and follow meh heart n trust my judgement when tings don't seem just.  Praise Vorax fer dis lesson.

Trust the Axe - Troll King - 10/2/10

Aye twas a foine day teday.  Deh lot ov us dat helped deh Rhugal was invited into deh Temple as tanks fer what weh done.  Weh was escorted thru some ov deh most beautiful n well crafted stone halls O've ever seen.  Mithril was used as coatings fer much of deh foinal room...it was a soight te be seen.  Deh foinest of Rhugal's warriors were in deh foinal room...a real tuff bunch dat ye could tell ye'd want foight wit ye in any foight.

We were stopped at one point n waited a whoile.  Den out he came, Urra'Krail Rhugal!  Deh leada ov all of deh Rhugal's realm!  Oi bowed n could barely speak Oi was so proud.  He tank'd us in deh name ov Vorax fer help'n deh Rhugal kin and sav'n Thoraz from deh Traitor kin.  He gave us each a scroll dat grants us safe passage n'to his kingdom.  He let us go to his armory n pick out some tings to our loik'n.  I found meh a mithril great axe ov deh foinest mak'ns.  Oi can not put n'to words deh feeling ov pride Oi felt dis day fer servn' Vorax n help'n deh Rhugals.  Deh pride ov Vorax was on meh loike a heavy bear coat.

Dis Oi learned:  If'n ye seek out te help folk for deh roight reasons, n ye pray te Vorax fer His guidance n ye foight wit honor, den Vorax will repay ye 100 fold.  Deh honor ov battle in foight'n fer Vorax is deh highest ye can achieve n Oi feel now more den ever dat Oi will seek te honor Vorax in all meh stroides.  Praise Vorax fer dis lesson.

[davidhoff]

Was n Dalantha talk'n te some folk n dis fancy bard show up wit a red dress all flared out.  Anyway, he tells us bout dis amulet dat he look'n fer dats a present from a necromanc'n lich te his wife.  He says some Vampire musta got deh amulet n run te deh Moss Crypt.  See'n how I nay want dis amulet te fall in deh wrong hands, n ifn ders liches n vampires te chase, Oi was on it.

Well, we done got te deh crypt n fought our share a vampoires n vamporire loike tings.  Praise Vorax fer His blessn's on meh axe, cause deh vile beasts nay had a chance wit Him work'n His prowess thru meh axe.  Well, comes about we foind a broken sword n a parchement in some loot stash down der.  Seems after some read deh parchment, dat deh amulet now be used in mak'n dis broken sword loike.  Deh sword still need a claw er sometin te be complete, so now it just a broken sword.

Well we got outa der n saw deh bard n gave em some other amulet we found n dat made him happy.  I kept deh sword n took it teh Huangjin fer deh Toranites te research it.  Heard deh gots some Learn'n n Lore clerics der dat pretty good bout know bout dis stuff.  Oi hope deh foind sometin bout dat sword so we can maybe track down some more vampoires er evil doers n setem straight wit Vorax.

Dis Oi learned:  Aye its good te speak up n raise ye voice when ye feel Vorax call'n ye from insoide.  Some a deh folk wanted te give deh bard deh sword, n Oi say hell nay!  We gots te keep dat thing te make sure it nay fall into deh wrong hands n see if maybe it lead te more evil types.  Praise Vorax fer dis lesson.

//Letters of Love Quest series - Mixafix

Well den, word from dah Toranites is dah broken-sword nay had any evil in it cause dah magic beh broken.  So dat bah good news at least meh tinks.

Aye, seems some of the folk Oi was wit n recover'n deh broken-sword ben act'n wit out meh.  Seems they talk'd to some gnome feller dat told em they could make a weapon from deh broken-sword n deh claw by us'n a special cauldron n put'n oter tings in der.  Gnome got permission from some dragon tah use its cauldron fer dis ritual.  Meh party said deh gnome say dat deh churches ov Vorax, Toran and Rofirein give deh ok in mak'n sometin in deh cauldron.  So, I joined dem to sail to dis island where deh cauldron at to see what they were up te.

Our ship ran ground on dah way der, but seems we finally made it to dah place ov deh cauldron.  Dis is where it gets interest'n.  Oi shook from meh bones to meh soul when they started put'n tings in dat cauldron.  Nay seemded roight...don't care what deh Gnome said bout dah churches ok'n it.  Weh had a black dragon circl'n over us...in meh heart Oi felt it wrong.  Oi prayed ta Vorax fer guidance n he gave it to meh (//Mix let me roll 1d100).  I knew what Oi had ta do...stop deh ritual.  I tried to tell em to stop, but deh were ALL filled wit greed n wonder, every last one a dem.  Azk'a meh kin told meh to stop embrarass'n meh self.  Argos told me fer all deh good tings our churches done together to let the ritual go on.  I say to dem...NAY!

I went to kick the cauldron over n deh all tried tah stop meh.  Hardbrough was lead'n deh ritual n he tried to stop meh as did the others.  I mangaged to spill some a deh brew, but nay could get it knocked over.  Deh jumped meh n Oi scrambled to try to kick it over..but nay could.  I tried to throw holy water on it, but only put a lil ov deh flame out.  Now deh got meh bundled up.  They plan to proceed wit deh ritual...we will see what wrath they bring on dem selves.....(//waiting for continuation of series).

Dis Oi learned:  If ye nay sure what to do, call on Vorax and he will answer ye prayers and guide ye.  He knows all n Oim just his servant, and only thru Him and His guidance will I come to know his will.  Stand for what is roight, even if yer friends n kin turn on ye, for what is good for Vorax is all dat matters.  Praise Vorax fer dis lesson.

Voraxian Meeting No. 1

Aye we had our first Voraxian meet'n at deh Dwarven Army guild hall.  Argali, Zig, Gunder n Meh in attendance.  Drank some good ale n had a good talk.  

Oi told em Oi wanted Vorax tah have more ova presense in deh world, n dat deh Toranities n Rorfireinites beh steal'n deh show.  Deh agreed.  Oi asked Argali about her want'n a temple ta Vorax in Lor n how dat waz com'n.  She said she just had deh oidea.  Well, I told her dat waz one a my idears too, dat Voraxians need a temple te worship dats not way up in deh mountains.  Weh need some place more visible n accessible loike.  Lor seem's to meh tah be a good nuff place.  So, we talked about get'n deh Twin Mayor and Council's approval on it.  Also, need to get an official ok from deh Clerics at deh Church.  So, we work'n on dat.

We also talked bout get'n involved more in deh current tings happen in deh world n spread'n deh name a Vorax.  I suggested weh help deh Hlint folks out n deh agreed.  Gunder gona get some healer priests over to Krandor n Fort Last to help with deh injured n Oi gona get some Voraxian patrols to help keep deh relief folks on deh roads to Fort Last, Krandor n Hlint safe in secure.  

Some dwarf lass from deh temple showed up, say she was Third Scribe (//played by Mix).  Talked to Argali about some gnome Argali was look'n fer.  Comes about dat dis gnome got lost in the deep look'n fer emeralds, but more important dat deh gnome beh work'n on somet'n ta shoot geese wit.  Well, geese meh nay care about...but maybe dis work on dragons too n could help againt deh war with deh Cult.  So, ders some interest der foind'n more out about dis gnome n his goose shooter.

Third Scribe also made mention dat she heard about a gnome dat was n deh spoider cave n silkwood, n dat he had some scrolls about making some catapults.  Seems dis gnome went to deh spoider cave n perished, n some feller found his body n may have taken off wit deh scrolls into deh forest.  Oi need te try to foind dis feller to see bout des scrolls.

Third Scibe said also somtin about some dark elves dat may have killed some driders in deh cave in silkwood where deh kabolds are.  Seems deh driders were look'n fer some special kinda poison n dat deh dark elves may have come away wit it.  Anyways dis is what was reported by some ranger der.  Dis is a bit a information I keep tucked away fer now...maybe it be important later.

Aye, can't wait for deh next meet'n...Praise to Vorax

//Letters of Love - Mixafix- continuation

Well den, Oi was toied up n bound in deh folks were gona make der special items in deh cauldron.  Der was a bit ov a surprise when a red dragon flew down tah greet us.  Turns out it was Zigrum com'n teh look fer meh.  Good ting too, cause deh set meh free to help ifn we needed to foight deh dragon.

Sadly der was no stopp'n des folks from complet'n der ritual.  I troied my hardest to talk em outa it, but they were stuck on it.  As we were talk'n another dragon flew down n landed.  Dis toime it was a black...a very large n aged black.  I jestured to deh cauldron n den thew some tings in der...den it up n left.  Now der was more talk'n mongst our group n still deh would nay listen to meh to stop deh ritual.  

Den as we were talk'n dis gnome came yelling for us to help.  Seems some gnomes from our sunk ship had survived n got surrouned by trolls n dis gnome said he need'd our help quick.  I had tah make a choice, n see'n how deh ritual folks be set on der actions, Oi knew I had tah help out deh gnome people quick loike.  Least der I knew I could serve Vorax n help des innocent folks from deh evil trolls.

Deh mission was a success n weh put deh trolls down easy nuff n saved deh gnomes.  Come back to foind deh ritual was complete.  Deh made three tings, an amulet, a rapier n a compass toype ting.  I used my power tah detect evil on deh oitems n deh cauldron n deh all came up clean with no evil.  But, I gota flash ov evil on somtin else.  After look'n n look'n Oi found out where deh evil com'n from...it was Azk'a, my kin.  Oi asked him, n he said he had picked up some ov deh molten rock under deh cauldron where deh foire was.

Argos wanted to take it back to deh Toran church fer a looksee, but Oi said nay we gota bless it n try tah remove deh evil.  Oi didn't want dat on our boat.  Well, nobody listened, n sure nuff on deh way back deh seas got shiffy outa nowhere n Argos got slippery hands n dropped deh molten rock in deh ocean.  *shakes his head* who knows what future dat evil will see now, but nuttin we can do bout it now.

We got back to Hurm and first thing Oi did was check in wit deh Church a Vorax tah see if They did indeed give deh blessing for the ritual with the cauldron to take place.  To my surprise..they did.  Apparently dis over my head, cause it sure seemd wrong to be mess'n wit a lich claw, a broken corathite blade, and a dragon's cauldron.  But maybe Vorax keep meh bling to it for my own good, or maybe ders a reason He let it happen dats beyond my brain.  Either way, deh items been made n now we gota wait to see what happens when deh cool down n the process is complete.  Fer now the items are unworkable.  Oi pray tah Vorax dat these items will be fer His good n that they will serve us to better foight deh evil ov our lands.  Praise Vorax!

Sailed dis day from Hurm in an attempt teh get aid fer Lor.  Meh destination is Molten Isle teh visit deh Rhugal kin.  Met Naazdah uogh Ched Bengral once Oi waz der.  He said he was sorry but deh Rhugal gota stay in Rhugal cuz deh gots der foights der, n Lor not der concern cuz it nay dwarven n nay Voraxian er Dorand tyopes.  Oi respected der view, cuz deh got lots to worry bout on der isle wit deh big red dat makes its home der and all its minions, and now deh got traitor kin com'n up form deh Deep as well.

So, I departed from deh fire island n I set sail fer Belinara where I hope to speak tah General Mournmalk who leads deh Voraxians der.  Maybe he can help de Lorites.  We will see.  Oi pray tah Vorax dat Lor can beh saved, as it is one ov deh last stands on Dregar dat weh got to lead a rebelion agaist Rael.  Praise deh Fatha!

//Arch Mission to the South - Deeza

Went on an expedition into deh Frozen South wit some folks to see about some possible Tol'eflor ruins.  Aye, well weh got der n turns out nay were Tol'eflor but was goint ruins of some sort.  Some folk were upset but deh place was filled wit deaders ov all toypes so dat was good dat weh got to whack some a dem.  Weh took down some notes on deh scribings on deh pillars in deh ruins.  Maybe dat will help figure what all deh ruins mean to us n who made em.  Dis Oi learned - Sometoimes when ye seek tah help others on a mission, ye may not foind what ye look'n fer, but the ever vigilant Vorax will provide ye wit some deaders to do his werk n send em back tah deh cycle.  Praise Vorax!

//Pulling the Soul Mother - Mixafix

Sure nuff Oi was com'n from the Dwarven Guild Hall n when Oi got to dis small town der beh a problem.  Meh n some others helped rid some bandits so dat deh good gnome of deh town could be burried on der burial hill.  Turns out deh gnomes der had a contraption dat sent em straight to deh Soul Motha.  Nay know if dis is roight, but seems it what des people wanted, so I nay worry bout dat too much.

Ting was weh get to talk'n wit deh underkeeper, n he say if weh had three more candles, weh could make deh portal werk n go see deh Soul Motha!  Now, dats one interest'n prospect der.  Nay know if I wana go der n fer what, but could be useful later meh tinks.  So, we set out tah foind deh other three candles.  Turns out weh found one, but long n for the two deh had went miss'n.  So now weh only got one.  We'll see ifn we can foind the other four den.  Got to cut some trolls down and weh also found some deader zombie types dat weh sliced up good.  Found some ruins where der was some more deaders n a couple necromanc'n type deader mages dat gave us some trouble but  weh got dem good too.  Vorax be proud dat weh could rid dis world ov dem bominations.  Dis Oi learned - Ifn ye try'n ye best to do Vorax's werk n follow His will, den he will open doors fer ye dat ye nay knew was der.  Praise Vorax!
