The writings of Delmar the Grey - Grey Wizard, 20th of the Order of the Grey
|
Secondend, Fifthwaek, Firstpentawaek, Fourthdodecate, Firstdecade, Secondpentacade, Thirdcentury, 4th Cycle of Awin 21000 I have been asked by Bramfard The Axe, High Forward and Hathnir The Voyager Of Mind, leader of the White, to seek out Crylon Darkmist, a powerful sorcerer, to gain insight, knowledge and his aid in learning about the Greenwood and the presence of a Galashkra shaman, now captive of the Grey, servant of Techna and the Unlord (Undorin?). |
Taken from the journal:

Arrived safely at Terter. Had the meeting with Crylon Darkmist, a somewhat powerful sorcerer, why the Grey Order require his aid is beyond me! Crylon knew of my coming as a seer had spoken to him about my journey, the Galashkra and Darius, my bodyguard. He said I would travel north, but to where is not known. Also, Darius would be of some trouble but I fail to see what, time will tell! Crylon spoke of the wood - forming where Cran Atlak battled Galanir', Cairngroms, the cities of Ro-Tiring and Cadagun, it seems to be a Manc site of Good, and Galanir' spirits have appeared there. It is safe to assume that the Galashkra felt its power and investigated; therefore their (the Galashkra), lair must be nearby. Our journey will go north, keeping with the oracle, to the wood and tracking as best one can to the lair. Crylon has given me leadership of a party of adventurers he has gathered; they are as follows: Father
Moore - A cleric of Meta The party seems adequate but untested, they follow orders well enough, however Crylon has told me that Morganna and Courtney may be troublesome. Their fighting prowess must be honed as they display poor results against a band of skeletons that emerged from a 'cross' smashed into the floor by Pencerin Silver Cross, luckily I did not meet him, however, Crylon gave chase. Talcyon seems able enough and Arrowmoore is as expected. The others, including Darius still need to prove themselves. The Hefin, whose name I do not yet know, may prove more of a boon than a liability. |
| Traveling north from Terter, we are it seems being followed by Pencerin. |
| Attacked by Galashkra at the Finger River. Courtney is killed. Glen found a ring which now permanently attached to his finger. Glen can not go near the Father (Moore) without ill effects. Physical damage as if he has walked into a wall. Possible possession and alignment change? Whatever the reason he will have to be relieved of it. I find that Glen's ring is of Chaotic Good in nature. |
| Attacked by Pencerin
My skill is beyond my reckoning! I bade the party to ride on as I faced Pencerin and his horde. My skill of spell casting is greater than I realise and I, through the conjuration of Younglings, the Bretleak Spirakarake, I have vanquished Pencerin Silver Cross! He is no more, the Devil of Undead, Samvirk, has claimed him. (1/3/2nd of 5th of 1st of 2nd of 3rd 4C Awin 21000. |
| Seventeen days from Terter, we arrive in Feldmore, staying at the inn called 'The Golden Light', owned by the She Lady Jeromyana (Sitva The Body?) - a witch? |
| Put to shore after leaving Feldmore, booked travel on the Bowmaster owned by Captain Lownarg. |
| Attacked by skeletons,
Theolan, the Galanir', was killed. Glen and Turblin injured; Lutherian
has decided to remain behind to mourn her sister [Theolan].
Were the skeltons sent by Pencerin (but he is now lost) or his allies (Undorin)? Found a letter on the body of one of the Galashkra we fought at the Finger River, addressed to Pencerin from Undorin. The letter mentions Foulbreath (a druid), Brethlin (allied with Man and Ess). It also mentions us! Undorin knows of us! |
| Attacked again by undead; a spirit or Lich? And a Serevdumaw. Glen was bitten by the Serevdumaw and Father Moore attacked by the spirit until unconscious. |
| We have reached the wood. The area is high in Manc. We have met Carfess, a Serevdumaw. |
| Langures, we have met Langures. they have guided us to a Red Wizard, Shazrem. |
| There are fairies here...... |
Here the journal by Delmar ends...for a while. Darius writes in a footnote:
| Delmar has been taken by fairies. Without an employer I have taken my spoils. I have Pencerin's armour; it should fetch a good price. |
