[QUOTE="Abciximab, post: 5746032, member: 46017"] [CENTER][B]Session 23.[/B][/CENTER] Lamashan the 14th. Amivor has told us that the Pathfinder's research has verified that the district we have been exploring is indeed the Military District. It seems likely that Olujimi’s tribe has been in control of this region for several hundred years. He believes the tribe falls under the realm of the legendary Gorilla King of the Mwangi. Their research also shows that activation of the Spear of Righteous Anger would grant all combatants within the Military District some type of boon that would enhance their combat skills. The most important thing to note from that is that it seems all combatants get the boon, friend and foe alike. Amivor also clarified a little about the so called “Dragon Sighting”. Though others saw the figure, there was some debate as to whether the creature was, in fact, a Dragon. Our friend Taraz has decided to switch places with N’Ketchi. N’Ketchi will become one of the camp healers and assist with the defense of the camp, while Taraz will join our group once more in a direct support role. I noticed our gnomish friend Gelik was assisting the Pathfinders with research. It seems he has been accepted back into the fold. Seeing him was bit of a reminder as to how far we have come since our time on Smugglers Shiv. We set out that morning to wrap up exploration within the military district, starting with the island Amivor had mentioned. We were able to get out to the island easily enough. The island has obviously seen some significant excavation in the past. It seems, from the size and shape of the excavation and other clues, that this is likely the spot where they unearthed the stone statue of the Demon Monkey Grugonoth. Unless the statue switches back and forth between its flesh and stone states regularly, it must have taken considerable effort to move it to the top of the ziggurat. Of course, as the old Orcish saying goes, “Where there’s a whip, there’s a way.” We also found a small structure cobbled together from stone common to the island. The interior had fetishes hanging all around, suspended from the ceiling and its supports. Within we found 5 stone vials with magical contents, but we are unsure of their use. We also found another interesting item. A magical ring that is obviously a relic left over from Saventh-Yhi’s glory days, a Ring of Seven Virtues. A useful item that protects the wearer from temperature extremes and helps one survive within a Jungle environment. It also grants you the boon from a district’s Spear when you are within that district of Saventh-Yhi. Noting that there was far less activity and noise within the Military district as a whole, we moved on to the north-western district where the (possible) dragon was sighted. Hopefully the Pathfinders will now be able to carry out some direct research within the Military District with minimal risk. In exploring the new district, we started along the central lake where we found four large warehouses. The first was filled with undead and little else, but just after we exited the building we were attacked by a Chimera with a green dragon head. It attempted an airborne assault, one of the best ways to attack our group. However, Kay’Es’s flight, my ranged spells and Max’s javelins made short work of it. Just because it is the best way to assault our group, doesn’t make it a good idea. We shall have to keep an eye out for its lair. In the second warehouse we encountered a number of Troglodytes when we entered and more Kech when we went upstairs. We also found a few more stone vials, obviously what the ancient Azlanti in this region used for potion storage. Most were well known potions and elixirs, but one was an Elixir of Spirit Sight, an elixir that allows one to see invisible creatures and strike incorporeal foes. We also found a Black Jade Idol of some long forgotten froglike demon. The last two warehouses were mostly ruined and unremarkable. As we approached the shore of the central lake we spotted a small tower. It appears to have once been used as a lighthouse. The lower floors were barren, but on the uppermost floor we encountered some old foes. Five Red Mantis Assassins were waiting for us. As they stood ready with magic and steel, it was a challenging fight, though in the end we did prevail. Unfortunately, the last one standing turned invisible and escaped us. Within a large stone chest we found a few baubles, some ancient Azlanti coins and yet another Ring of Seven Virtues. As it is getting late we shall now return to camp and speak with Amivor of our discoveries. [/QUOTE]
