Orga Activity

Some Orga attacked the east fields of Puddleby yesterday, as they've been known to do on occasion. I joined up with the group that had just repelled them from the fields and we ventured into the Orga Camp. Scouts said it looked quite dangerous, so Clam went in first to flicker. As we entered we saw the very heavy fire he'd drawn fly by, which we knew would be upon us in a moment.


While the OC is often guarded by dozens of Warlocks, this time there were also a dozen Hemlocks and a handful of Dredlocks. That firepower meant we couldn't stay in long. Another odd note is that there were Razzia present who made off with some of our fallens. However, due to our strength in rangers we soon decimated their forces. Some of us were also fortunate enough to find a few Hatred chests during the battle!

With the Grefo Topper and Fergar Egley altercation, and now this, I haven't seen the OC have so much activity in quite some time. We should keep a close eye on the Orga.

Just Yell

After a recent hunt into the rain forest of Metzetli, we prepared to leave through the Ethereal Plane. As usual, Yor opened the portal and scouted first. However, he fell while trying to run the snell and hadn't told us to enter. So we knew it must've been rather deadly inside. J'jh ran in, then the rest of us followed when she called us. It was indeed dangerous. Very soon Kalian and I were the only two left standing.


Although a couple people yelled immediately after they had fallen, they didn't yell again. The situation quickly became very aggravating. Aside from Yor and Han, the fallens failed to respond. I ran around the snell for more than a minute without a single word from any of them on where they were fallen or if they were on Kalian's chain. Thanks to the complete silence, I wasted a lot of time and health.


Since I had Han on my chain and saw that Yor was on a chain, I headed for the exit. Of course the other fallens still weren't yelling, so I didn't know Kalian was also headed for the exit until it was too late. I barely saw a couple fallens on his chain go by as my route closed off due to the critters following him. Those critters got some shots off, then a lightning bolt brought me down just after Kalian exited. So unfortunately Han and I were left to depart.

Fallens can provide very helpful information for those who are still standing, especially when there's chaos. They can also spare someone a great deal of frustration. All they have to do is yell...

Book 2

I organized a trip to Book 2 recently, which was a great success. An awesome group of 32 very skilled exiles breezed right through the Pitch Caves. Asenath and Ansset teleported us, and Xel lent us a stone. We made it to Book 2 in under 90 minutes, and a total of 18 people were able to begin their training of "Trillbane's Commentaries on Ways."


Many of us decided to continue deeper into the Pitch Caves, as we had such a strong group and had gotten to Book 2 so quickly. In under 90 minutes once again, we'd made it all the way to the end of the caves and picked up a couple azure spores. Then we went home through the EP, which has been quite a bit more dangerous lately, but everyone made it back safely. Thank you to everyone involved who made this such a great trip.

Justice

An impressive zoo had been assembled in town center. Apparently it'd been even more majestic, until Stone Cold viciously slaughtered several of the friendly creatures despite public protests. To prevent this massacre from continuing, Naferu took him to court. Stone Cold was found guilty and some of the crowd threw pies at him in jail.

Still out for blood even in jail, Stone Cold challenged Natas to a duel. Natas seemed to have some reservations, as he'd seen the carnage Stone Cold left behind in the zoo. Being a lowly ranger and all, he was unsure he could hold his own against such a foe. However, Natas indeed accepted the challenge without hesitation "for the honor of the zoo." After Stone Cold's sentence was finished, the two headed to the arena.















The bout was short-lived, as was Stone Cold. Kalian took the opportunity to teach Stone Cold another lesson, because Stone Cold had made some offensive remarks to him that were too vulgar to mention here. So Kalian took him on a little jaunt through the Ethereal Plane. Unfortunately Kalian's chain slipped off at some point and he doesn't know what happened to Stone Cold. Thus thanks to the noble efforts of Naferu, Natas, and Kalian, the honor of the zoo had been restored.
