[QUOTE="PieAndDragon, post: 2909530, member: 18108"] As written by Shegall Harrowborn, Champion of Highkeep [B]Earthday, 18th of Twelfthmonth, 1534 ER[/B] Kwaku has handed me the Journal of the Valiant Blade to keep for now. Sakorat and Melof have journeyed off to Whiteblade, where they are in talks with the Venturers of the Coin over some treaty or another. Since the naiad received the title of Warden of Whistlesprings, he has had many such offers. It appears as if I am to have one final journey with the Company of the Valiant Blade. Tabor, the former leader of the Cult of the Monkey God, is attempting to make peace with the Southwatch Family. As part of this agreement, the Company of the Valiant Blade have been approached to slay Peregrina Nightjewel, the medusa of the Monkey Cult who organised the kidnapping of Avivah SunPass. She is due to be at Whistlecross on New Year's Eve, and we would set an ambush then. With Sakorat and Melof away and Sydnia and Ijiru on a journey in Sohal with Kwaku, the remainder of the Company now look to me for an extra blade. Although ambush is not my preferred method of attack, I will use it against one as dangerous as Peregrina. Lukkar's allies are also looking for a priest capable of strong magics. We may need such a one in a battle such as this. [B]Airday, 21st of Twelfthmonth, 1534 ER[/B] We have met Jomo, a siv priest of the Lord of the Green Claw, and an ally of the Redroad Trading Coster which Lukkar belongs to. We have several days to debate tactics and find a good spot from which to fight. [B]Otherday, 25th of Twelthmonth, 1534[/B] We hide now on the banks of the Whistle, waiting for Peregrina's coach to arrive. A massive girillon with red claws rides atop the black coach and several winged monkeys escort her. Earlier this morning we reached Whistlecross, where most of my men now shelter. I left scouts on the trails into the village, and one of these alerted us of her approach. Jomo has used most of his enchantments on us, to give us strength in battle and banish fear from our minds. Lukkar and Zuridah seem keen on a fight, and I ready to strike a blow against one partly responsible for the fall of Highkeep. May the Green grant us a victory this day. [B]Night[/B] As Peregrina's coach grew close to the crossing, one of the winged apes caught sight of us and flew in for a closer look. The beast was a mutated form of the cloaked apes found in the Forest of the Apes, no doubt warped by experiments from Peregrina. Each carried a halberd in its claws and wore a strange hat. It howled a warning to Peregrina and she summoned a giant elemental of earth, prepared for danger. Zuridah leapt to battle the creature while I defended Jomo from one of the winged apes. Lukkar crept up towards the coach, hidden among the long grass. Lukkar's dog was not so lucky, torn apart by the bloodclaw girillon in front of the cart. Peregrina's driver kept the reins ready, but no order to pull away came from his mistress. Lukkar appeared next to the coach, disrupting the medusa's magic with a well-placed arrow. Zuridah left the elemental to smash in the coach from the other side, turning Peregrina's attention and gaze to the tain. Jomo's attempts to banish the elemental failed. leaving myself to battle the creature alone. Jomo's next prayer to the Lord of the Green Claw sank coach, horses and giant ape into a mass of mud, the goblin and tain protected by another of the siv's enchantments. Lukkar was forced back from the mud and coach by the girillon, covered in blood and mud, showering Peregrina before he left the battle. Zuridah tore through the door on the side away from the goblin, forcing an injured medusa out of the other side of the coach. It was here that Jomo caught her in a column of fire, and she was no more. The elemental of earth proving too strong a foe for myself, I withdrew to the siv who closed up my wounds with a single prayer. As the apes went berserk and flew away, Zuridah grabbed the muddy remains of the medusa and away we fled. Lukkar injured the bloodclaw with more arrows before it fled off into the night. With apes and girillon gone, and the elemental returned to it's home plane, we returned to find the driver had fled with whatever he could carry. We took what we could from the ruined coach and made our way back to the village, to celebrate our victory. [B]Fireday, 2nd of Firstmonth, 1535 ER[/B] Tabor and the SouthWatch family are happy, we have been rewarded and the region is at relative peace again. I have gathered a few more followers and intend to make Highkeep a more secure area. Night fey beware my blade. Kwaku has asked me to accompany him on a journey to the Northlands. He hopes to find the last few members of his Council of the Pack, notably Mammoth and Wurm. I wish him luck but I have duties here. I know that several of the others intend to accompany him, most notably Zuridah, Sydnia and Melof. It seems as if the Company of the Valiant Blade have adventured their last. Sakorat appears to be caught up in his duties as Warden of Whistlespring, Lukkar is heavily involved with the Redroad Trading Coster and creating a family with Tolya. Deng looks after the mansion and Ijiru has disappeared away. I am leaving this journal in the library of Nightjewel Mansion, where others can read of a successful adventuring band. Although many fell along the way, and for some the danger proved not worth the reward, several made it to fame, wealth and glory. May the Green Bless them all.
