Upon this parchment is a spidery script written in the appearance of a stressed hand. At the end a raven feather, dripping with ink, remains.
I do not ask any soul to perform this deed, nor do I ask them to aid me. I only ask for those present to understand this fair warning.
Upon a fortnight ago, within a cottage in Oreth, I was assaulted by two beings, both of deadly calibur beyond expected mortal...even divine...ability. The result that followed from this encounter revealed the disturbing fact that one being in particular, to which is described as a Clockwork Modron humanoid of nearly seven feet in height, complete with faceless mask and weaponry which bends reality to its will, has the capability to not only devour the life and souls of spirits unfortunate enough to cross its path, but the very being of the soul itself, so that the soul never existed at all.
I had assumed that I had taken care of these matters, yet two evenings later the same Modron attacked me in a similar scene upon the same plane. Upon doing so it has left me crippled and unable to defend myself against a second assault, if the time comes once more. The being has also stolen a precious necklace of mine during the climax of the second encounter.
There is reason to which one does not address this warning to Oreth, however...the Modron is also capable of planar travel through a form of its weaponry, and has been located in realms such as Sigil, Faerun, Mechanus, and all Four Elemental Realms.
Whatever information I can bestow upon you I shall. While appearing as a Construct, however, it is my belief that it holds a sentience or a mortal awareness within itself that is allowing it to perform actions that are unlike most beings of its type. The being has immunity to Mental Combat...the possiblity that the Mask prevents such actions to be of use. The weaponry I have witnessed in both attacks consists of a blade attatched to its right arm, which has been witnessed to extend to a degree of twice its own user's length and animate like that of a serpent. Also, if the mask is ever removed, the being is fully able to unleash its ability to devour and consume the no-longer-existing souls. It is also my belief that this creature's ability to consume enpowers its own life and possibly would explain its ability to regenerate and resurrect in a mechanical fashion.
The second assailant of the first encounter is unknown, and the body was not found after the fist conflict was finished.
I implore all mortals and immortal beings alike, if any value their very existence, to keep a spare eye alert for its arrival upon any plane.
May whatever beings you follow fare you through these hard times.
