The Tusk
Adrenaline surged through my veins as I fingered Knucklebones the Ogres’ massive tusk, tucked into a deep flap of my inner cloak, and shared words of our native tongue with Sae’eana Fisvanna, the stunning elven girl. The entire scene made me feel like a man. If only father could see me for he would find honor in the way I harnessed my magic to protect the party in battle, integrity in the way I severed the fallen ogre’s tusks and bequeathed one as a symbol of good will to the accommodating brewer gnomes, and dignity in the way I confidently spoke to the lovely elf.

Oh how I would love to bring Sae’eana Fisvanna home to the Magnificent Moon Arc Highlands, where she could meet my parents and see me crowned prince. I bet she would never believe I am heir to the throne if I told her now, nobody would. This is why I must continue to grow in mind, body, and spirit, before returning home to accept the position of Prince.

Frosty thoughts of home come and go like flurried snow, as I continue in my attempts to charm the pretty maiden. Her marvelous emerald eyes have captivated every part of me, and each toss of her golden strands melt the snow that my soul is made of. Though I only met her today, her voice brings me home. Maybe it is the familiar dialect, or possibly it is something greater. Only time will tell.

In the morning I think I will prepare “change”. I hoped to save the Ogre’s second tusk as proof of my victories for my father, but that bastard caused Sae’eana much more pain and grief than he did me. My glory doth not surpass her pain, so Sae’eana shall own the splendor of the beast who caged her. Such an obnoxious piece does no justice for a woman of such grandeur, so I shall morph it into a wristlet to wrap the maiden’s delicate, battered forearm. She will introduce beauty where no creature would ever expect.

As I grasp the jagged edge of the enormous tusk, I feel victorious. His defeat replaced a piece of my insecurity with confidence, and added a beautiful asset to our group. I have found great fortune in my journey thus far, mostly from those I have met .Dagmar offered shear brilliance with his ploy to trick the Ogre, and Lilyth Windemere unmanned the filthy fiend with her audacious attack, just today. Each of the others has contributed to our budding excellence in their own way.

I still find uncertainty in myself as well as the world I am in, and why and how I ended up here, but I have always been a fan of a good mystery.

The Refugees
As Vergil, Arannis, and Rygar arrived in Farthane, they saw the mass relocation of people from their homes in Lotholeen, to the small village of Farthane. Sola had lead the refugees down the Dawn Star and into Farthane safely with no pay. Their reuniting was interupted by the cries of a refugee trying to buy potion for his sickly daughter.

The group ran to the scene to assess what was happening. A local merchant had been gouging prices on potions he was making and managed to corner the market during this time of need. The refugee had tried to steal a handful of mismatched potions and almost got away before Arannis tripped him to the ground. The potions broke and spilled and the mans spirit was crushed. The merchant had the man immediately arrested. Before being hailed away, the man begged the group to watch his quickly perishing daughter. The group agreed and began to search for the tent holding the refugee girl.

Meanwhile, Vergil had slipped away to find someone to identify the alchemical ingredients he procured from the earlier adventure. He happened upon a smaller alchemy shop wherein a young Human lady was sorting through some ingredients she had just picked up. Taking a shine to Vergil, she agreed to identify his ingredients and teach him some basic alchemy skill.

Sola, Arannis, and Rygar entered the tent of the young girl. They were surprised to find she was only maybe 9 or 10 years old. Rygar, immediately left the tent and went back into town to find an apothecary. Arannis tapped into the arcane flow to warm the blankets of the girl while Sola helped to comfort her. Rygar managed to find an apothecary who was willing to help for little money and together they healed the young girl.

Now they had to find a way to get the man out of jail...

On the Dawn Star
As the group made their way South down the Dawn Star they encountered a tipped over supply transport, and a women downed next to it. Rygar, wasting no time, ran forward to see if she was breathing. The rest of the group drew their weapons in anticipation of a trap, as they eased forward toward the supply cart. Suddenly, a drove of kobold jumped out from every direction! Carrying many minor and crude implements they attacked the adventuring group with audacity; completely surrounding Rygar. He was on the brink of death when Arannis used his Eladrin connection with the Feywild to supernaturally step Rygar out of the way just in time for his icy blast. Sola realized that one of the kobolds had retreated to a nearby cave.

After they cleaned up the mess left by the Kobold troops, the party rested overnight before entering the cave. Sola snuck out in the middle of the night to head back to Lotholeen in order to help the survivors migrate south to Farthane. Vergil, Rygar, and Arannis decided they would enter the cave and extinguish any threats remaining, so they would be sure none of the survivors migrating this way would be harmed.

Coming to the mouth of the scorched cave, Vergil looked around to collect some alchemy materials, while Arannis examined the entrance, and together they ventured in. The cave seemed to be mostly cleared out except for a few kobold skirmishers hiding in the shadows. Strange drawings of symbols and birds lined the cave walls, none easily recognizable by any of the group. As they pushed forward, they came upon two dead travelers who had died from severe burns. They noted one of them was a famed traveler who had collected many things and wrote a log of his adventures. Across the cave on the far wall stood a coffin shaped portal to the fire elemental plane where a large flaming birdlike elemental stood. It lunged at the group and the battle lasted what seemed like several hours before Arannis was finally able to submerge the elemental in a pool of water. Rygar found a sword that was forged using this elemental passageway, and the group left for the Dawn Star and continued South toward Farthane.
