[QUOTE="Morrow, post: 4737361, member: 301"] [b]Tides of Dread 1.5 (Garnham)[/b] From the journals of K. Garnham, Seeker as translated from the Valossan According to Maggie's divinations we currently have four days before the Crimson Fleet arrives. Much has happened in the last few weeks. Lavinia and I are engaged. I will be damned before anything stops us from being together or raising a family. Even the Crimson Fleet. Maggie returned to the Dragon after returning Sabine and myself to Farshore. Once there Maggie animated the kopru and his dinosaur companion as zombies. I asked Sabine if she could cobble together something that would help me persuade people. Not a full out charm, just something that would help me get my point across. I began to actively campaign for Lavinia in the mayoral elections. I've never been much of a people person, but I seem to have a knack for it now. Maybe some of grandpa Nate shining through. In the middle of my third day of poiticing I was approached by an elderly Ohlman woman named T'Zon who I had seen about town. She asked if I was one of the one's who had killed Temauhti-Tecuani, the T-rex that guarded the tar pits. I said I was and she asked for the details. I told her what happened and when I had finished she offered her services in defense of Farshore. At one time she was a great hunter and a warrior, but she wouldn't last long in a straight up fight anymore. I tried to let her down easily, but she was persistent. For the next three days she followed me. She never repeated her offer, and she made certain that her presence wasn't getting in my way, but she was never more than 20 yards away from me. You can't ignore that kind of person. They may not fit into the standard army, but no one said we had to build the standard army. I came up with the idea of the Black Lodge. Right now it's going to be the people who can't fight head-to-head, but can move around the battlefield and help others. Later on it'll be for any defender of Farshore that doesn't have a place in the militia. I gave it the family name. Just because I don't use it doesn't mean that there isn't worth to it. When the Fleet is repelled I'm going to buy a piece of land and I'm going to build the Lodge proper. It'll be dark woods at first, but one day it'll be black stone. I have my eye on a piece of land. I have found the first five members of the Black Lodge. There's T'Zon and her grandson Y'Kern, the pacifist warrior Bill Gan, the young thief Gertie Bessand and Tilden Medcap the accidental colonist. Each has been given a fine suit of studded leather, a darkwood shield, a healing draught, some magical bandages and a weapon in case they are forced to defend themselves. Gan refused the weapon. Sabine came to me in a few days with a magical necklace. She was able to cobble it together with bits and pieces we found through channels legal and otherwise.
