I hooked up with Cash immediately and he put me to work. After a month or so I guess I showed some promise so he invited me (and also Marsten and Tesmian) to join and organization called the Indigo Brotherhood. They seem to be pretty enigmatic, with very limited contacts. The only people I know of in the group are Cash, Marsten and Tesmian,Three months after we arrived the group of us from Midvale got together. Jon and Cael had some business to take care of back in Midvale so we decided to head out with them. I loaned some money to Tesmian and Jon to make some magic weapons, and I ended up with the sucky one.I heard some rumors around town about the two factions of monks (Lotus (good) and Diamond (evil)) going at it.We would be traveling to Penwood, Eomyr, and then Midvale.We arrived in Eomyr. Jon asked me to go with him to the temple to help him acquire a donkey. I purchase a donkey for him at a great deal.Spend the night in Eomyr.19th day Month of HarvestingA group of yellow mages, some Lotus monks and out group all set out overland for Midvale. Fry, Kwon, and Yutan (the lotus monks) mention some trouble with the diamond monks.We made it to the west bridge over the Vale river after the first day. Slept. Moved out in the morning.Noon, east bridge. There are some Rovers there, no one I recognize. They say nothing is going on.By the end of the day, we had made it to the hills.Jon is a worrier, set watches. I figure the mages can take care of it.We traveled all the next day made it to the Vale wood. After Two more days made it to MidVale.24th day in the Month of HarvestingAs we arrived in town there is some commotion in the town hall. Vandor Uln, healer, my old boss, says the Minister has fallen. Inside the town hall the deputy is talking to the townspeople. There has been a rash of missing students (39) from the school over the last two months, the sheriff is missing also. The deputy says the minister is responsible. Black demons have been spotted.Cael took charge and says he and the mages will look into it.Jon and I went to the temple, passed by a couple of diamond monks.Minister Mathaniel was comatose, grasping a symbol of Mithras and wearing one. Jon got his medallion, it was clay instead of mithril. Jon smashed away the clay revealing a three headed symbol, Jon tossed it, the minister woke up, and then promptly passed out.Tesmian and I headed for the school. When we got to the door it opened and little crazed Davie came running out and slashed at Tesmian with clawed fingers. Tesmian shot him with his crossbow through the foot.I ran toward Davie and noticed the diamond monks heading toward him too. They seemed to be inclined to get the book that he was carrying.Cael got to the door and yelled something about the book.Cael ran for the book, grabbed it but got kicked out by the three monks.It was then that I knew it was go time. I threw a dagger at one, badly. It was a newer dagger and I hadn't had time to break in the sheath to release like it should, so I was fumbling the dagger from the get go, probably shouldn't have thrown it at all.Marsten arrived and ran after one that was running away with the book. I cut another one up in the chest with two other daggers. One of them kicked me in the thigh and it really hurt.Tesmian got there and the monks turned on him, I slashed at one of them, Tesmian drew his short sword and swung at them.Then I decided to take a nap. One of them punched me in the head really hard.I found out later the book was some important artifact that Cael had, Davie the freak demon boy stole it from him and was running away from them with it when we ran into them. Cael, Tesmian and I got whopped by the monks, Marsten and Jon followed after the monk with the book. They ran into another group of monks. Jon took on those three while Marsten was able to follow the one with the book.Jon was able to take out the three monks somehow, killing one of them and dragging the other two back.Marsten caught up with the one carrying the book and engaged him, stabbing him in the arm with his rapier. He recovered the book.#############Rath right side:<img src="http://nightmare.org/dnd/pics/med/2264.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Originally posted at:<a href="http://nightmare.org/dnd/thay/dontfightmonks.html" target="_blank">http://nightmare.org/dnd/thay/dontfightmonks.html</a></blockquote>
