[QUOTE="Hedrin, post: 2278091, member: 31867"] [b]Liadan's Journal 12 - 11/05/2003[/b] When the shadow being appeared all of us reacted. Some of our weapons just seemed to pass through the thing, others gouged chunks of shadowy fog out of it. It appeared to be hurt. Afterwards we found out that it was somehow talking to Sandrue as it was being hit, but we didn't know it at the time. Rock's hammer landed a very telling blow, just as I brought the power of Lathander's will to bear against the shadow thing and it was no more. I don't know which of us finished the job, I'm just happy that it was gone. I don't know if I heard it or not, but when I attempted to turn the creature, I heard other voices from the rod cry out as well. We decided not to try and do that again (one crystal was still unbroken), and we rode one. We attacked a barn that was being used by goblin and troll raiders and I won't say that it was easy, but we all survived. Sandrue kept one goblin to question and that odd act has led to our adopting him into our party. I wanted to kill him outright, but later I was sent a dream from Lathander. I was standing in a forest and found my old Mentor from the temple in Shadowdale teaching a class to very young initiates in a clearing. A dozen or so young children were sitting at desks there in the forest and I recognized the clothes that belonged to one of my two youngest brothers. I was about to go to him when I realized that it wasn't Urson or Tyson, but Pakkin instead. He looked at me and seemed very happy. Then I saw the face of my Mentor. He looked very sad and dissapointed in me. Shaking his head and dismissing me utterly, he went back to teaching the class. I could feel the weight of dissapointment upon me and resolved to start anew with Pakkin, and he has become a (somwhat!) trusted travelling companion. With the information we gleaned from Pakkin, the situation for Camber may be worse than it ever has, as the army is supposed to be huge and under the control of one central figure. This would be Micah, but we didn't know it at the time. We stopped later at the Puffleweis farmstead and failed to convince most of them to return to the safety of Camber. We have farm families like this on my father's land. I cried softly later when I was alone. I hope these kindly folk don't end up like some of the families I have known in the past. We arrived at Lookout Hill and kept watch for the army to come. That night, warg riders lead by a HUGE winter wolf attacked us. They got some of our horses and most of the rest ran away. Erim ran after the horses. I hope he could see better than I could, cause it was dark out that night! Eventually we rounded up most of them (my Shadowcast was fine. PHEW!) Rock skinned the wolf and has been wearing the pelt. I hope he works on it when we get back to Camber as IT STINKS! (little squiggly lines raising from the words "IT STINKS!") [/QUOTE]
