Hoi journal. It feels like a great deal of time has passed since our last meeting. When last I left, we had departed a small plantation on our way to the famed city. Journal, so much has happened, I shall opt for brevity.
1. On route, our driver told us of two routes, a safe one and a not so safe one. I honestly don't remember which road we traveled, for it made none the difference. We were beset by wolfmen (who were made of the same mushroom goo as everything else in this land). One horse was slain but all foes were felled. Apparently there was some temple in the woods filled with werewolves.
2. Upon arrival in the city, we headed for the docks where we met up with the infamous Scarlet Brotherhood. They paid us some money and our driver headed for a nearby inn. We set about on some errands around town.
3. My errands included grabbing some more oil, ball bearings and some fresh info. After having my hand sliced open, I got some leads that pointed me to the local thieves guild.
4. Several of my companions met an assortment of colorful characters and were also steered towards the thieves guild. So...off we went to the thieves guild.
5. Everyone was engaged in some obstacle course running and we were all inducted into the guild. Adamantine lock picks all around! I picked up a nice, friendly new cloak, and we were directed to check out a mushroom smoking room.
6. Our distraction expert going in first, the party and I scouted the area discovering a very evil book and one of those trick party candles that gnomes like to use. We might have burned the building to the ground...
7. We had Thomas, wizard playboy extraordinaire and new found friend, analyze the book. It was indeed, very evil. Some terrible devil shared a connection with the Scarlet Brotherhood.
8. Seeking the help of some priests, the group ended up being pointed towards another devil's followers and were advised to support the lesser evils. Much like voting for politicians.
9. After some civil unrest, we escaped into the catacombs and emerged near the warehouse that we had first came to when we got here. Naturally, we found more demons, mushrooms and other assorted bad stuff there. Also, the angry mob seemed to have found us.
10. Luckily the inn our wayward driver was also an entrance to the guild, so we made a hasty exit and went back to the guild.
11. Surprise! Those priests weren't the good kind and we ended up killing more mushroom goo turned people. Surrounded by angry mobs, the chief offered to take us out on his yacht.
12. So we raised the mizzen mast and started to sail out back towards Kaoland. Towards the temple that is most probably filled with traps, danger and more evil mushroom magic stuff. What could go wrong?
Hopefully that brief summary will suffice, for the actual events would take several pages and more candlelight than I have currently have time to spare.
In any case, I'm sure everything will work out just fine.
