Rune
Seer Stops Vanishing
A
being came into town Friday night using a strange magic which caused those
inflicted with it to vanish. This
vanishing was a long drawn out affair in which the subjects slowly diminished in
materialism until they actually totally vanished. As Saturday evening drew nearer the group of people had
almost totally vanished . The Rune
Seer entered town and performed a ritual to see what could be done.
Apparently
the beings minions were aware of the Rune Seer’s attempt and they attacked him
in force. Several townspeople
rallied around him to try and protect the ritual and were only partly
successful. After several
interruptions the Rune Seer finally completed the ritual.
He told the assembled townsfolk to find a lantern near the lake.
Extinguishing this lantern would bring back the diminished individuals.
Everyone ran toward the lake at breakneck speed.
Upon
arriving at a small building on the lake the searchers were set upon by more of
the shadowy minions. Quickly the
people were rallied by Field
Marshall Urik and the Garrison. Fighting
as a unit the town repelled repeated assaults and gained entrance to
the building. Guardsman Cage extinguished the lantern effectively ending
the threat.
Orcs
attack
A
large war party of Fractured Skull Orcs attacked town late Saturday night.
Most people were asleep during the attack and the orcs destroyed several
tables in both the Mystic Highlander and the Fallen Comrade.
The Garrison was reportedly unable to be roused from their drunken
slumber. Many farms were burned by
the same party and the people are quite upset about the Garrison’s inaction.
Battle
of North Field
An
entire regimental division of the Army of Stonegate under the command of Field
Marshall Jagindon Thinblade engaged an army of unknown composition at North Field, just between the southern mouth of the
Devil’s Gate Pass and the city of Barris.
No messengers reached Stonegate with news of Thinblade’s movements
after his leaving the pass. A few
days ago scouts returned with stories of horrific slaughter.
Many of the soldiers were found unmarked by any apparent wound, but died
in their tracks with horrified looks on their faces. Field Marshall Thinblade’s body has not yet been found
among the dead and there is hope that he still lives.
