[QUOTE="Zora, post: 2858717, member: 30156"] [b]Journal entry 5/19/06[/b] Dearest Grandfather, After the tussle at the inn, we decided to make our way to the outskirts of town to find a place to rest amidst all of this fog. Finding a copse of trees, we made our way there and camped for the night, making sure to keep a close eye out for the warlord's men who might be looking for us. In the morn, several of my companions noticed a small animal approach the camp. It was a small fox, with a pin attached to its fur. It walked purposefully into camp, whereupon Erim removed and read the note. It said "I would like to speak to you. I come as a friend. Foxfire." We decided to wait to see who this mysterious Foxfire might be, when a half-elven woman approached the camp, outfitted and armed in much the way of the Sylvanus druids I met a while back. She told us that she and a few friends were in an adventuring group called the Dragonfire Guild, of which Kal Brimstone was the leader. Jayda Foxfire and her friends had a falling out with Kal, which led to them going mostly their own ways. During this time, the warlord Tellesk came in and overthrew Kal Brimstone, re-naming Brimstone Keep to Blackhope Keep. She's been hoping for a chance to go in and rescue Kal, as he's been kept prisoner since the takeover. We readily agreed to help them. She said it would be best to attempt the breakout at dusk, when the Keep's priestess -to Bane- would be praying to her evil god with her foul liturgies. We were asked to go south quickly to recover their teammate Singe, a fire sorceror while she and Blaze Pathfinder -a half-orc wilderness warrior not unlike myself- would go north to locate Mirra the Brand, a halfling break-in specialist. Upon travelling south, I came upon some odd tracks; one set almost giant-sized, another of elven size, with a smaller 3rd set and one other set that only showed up intermittently. I found this both odd and intriguing as they were travelling the same direction we were. Eventually we came upon a spot where there were signs of a scuffle involving the group I had been keeping an eye out for and something unfamiliar. As I studied a blood-soaked spot upon the ground, there was a mighty roar and two amazing creatures leapt from their hiding spots and charged us! They resembled lions with golden dragonscales on their hides. I had no idea what they were until Erim told us later that they were Dragonnes. They were enraged as they attacked us. Erim managed to discern intelligible speech coming from one that seemed to be the male, as the female furiously bore down upon me, intent on rending me limb from limb. As it turns out, they were following the trails of some creatures who had killed their offspring. They thought that it was us. Upon learning this, I stopped all attempts at trying to kill them and focused solely on keeping myself from harm, which was not as easy as I would have liked. We eventually managed to convince them that we were not the ones they were looking for. They left in a hurry, and after bandaging some wounds, so did we. We continued with the directions Jayda had given us, when we came upon a cave with the sounds of a drunken gnome's singing coming from it. Thinking we found the right place, Nekaya went into the cave alone and unarmed to talk to Singe. Worried after we saw a fireball fly out of the cave, we hesitantly waited until she finally emerged with the gnome, who was indeed drunk. On our way back to meet with the rest of the Dragonfire Guild, we came upon the previous spot where we had engaged the Dragonnes. They were waiting for us. They had found the killers they were looking for and disposed of them. In the way of an apology, they gave to us some things the killers had used against them; a circlet on the head of an elf, a completely destroyed broom and a tattered rug, which had been used for flying. They departed quickly again to go lick their wounds. Magnificent creatures. We met up with the rest of the Dragonfire Guild, where we met Mirra. Now come the discussions and debates about how to storm a castle with 30 armed men, a warlord, a priestess of Bane, and two wizards…all the while hoping to dethrone a despot and tyrant while accomplishing our main task: rescuing Kal Brimstone! All so we can deliver a package. [/QUOTE]
