Notes from the Private Journals of Sikhura
Ruby Waters
After an exciting guild meeting where we heard tales of great heroism and adventure we were ushered aside and requested to perform a vital mission for the war effort, employed by the guild on guild rates we are to kill and burn the bodies of a group of goblins allied to the dark circle who are attacking caravans of wounded knights heading to the healing springs of ruby waters.
My fine companions
Speed being of the essence to free up the road we got shadow wings from the lord of the bats, who appeared very sickly, probably from the lack of sunlight being a dark celestial. Taking our leave of the poor man we flew, which was great fun down elsuia keeping the fastness to our right to avoid the harpies before following the road to the right back towards ruby waters. Landing was exciting with a couple of bumps and bruses but nothing serious before camping out for the night in a idilic clearing after a pleasant dinner with fine companions.
We wandered around the forst for a few days, chasing butterflies and caught a goblin chief who wanted to cook Ruby. We even missed a dinner one night, this is like the adventures ive been told about, filled with hardship. The goblin exploded and died due to some dark circle magic, so we respectfully burt the body and went looking for another up and down a big hill for a couple of days in the loverly sunshine and fresh air.
Unfortunately while we were enjoying ourselves the goblins had been busy and ambushed a cart on the road, killing seven poor innocent humans which we buried with our spare weapons to help them fight in the lands of the dead. Tracking the marauders back to their camp we found forty goblins in the camp with a defensive earthworks and got ambushed and wounded by invisible goblin scouts before running away.
Gavin was wounded from charging the goblin archers so I summoned a huge horse to carry him back to Ruby waters to be healed and we set off the next day. The healers at Ruby waters healed Gavin using the healing power of the hot springs and we got to sit in them too. The elves were beautiful and elegant, and we enjoyed several delicious elven meals and real elven beer. We had a dinner with some brave and noble Aladarian knights. A group of quiet religious knights in purple robes were also being healed but they spent most of the time in prayer.
Travelling back to the goblin encampment we set up an ambush and had Sir Gavin shoot arrows into the goblin camp to draw some of them out. He hit a goblin carrying a black vial which dropped killing all life within a thousand or so feet, some of the goblins escaped with eleven other vials and flew off to the north of Ruby Waters.
Running after the goblins we caught a few and got three of the vials back and guessed that they were going to try and use them to poison the springs. One of the healers then bent the dimensions and got us back to the guild where the guild alchemist did his stuff and let us know that it was distilled undead and he didn't wan't any more, thank you, please.
So we let the elves know and they found two encampments, and they attacked the big one while we attacked the little one. During the fight four vials were released but partially neutralised with antidote. Four other vials we recovered and gave to the elves to guard.
We did a last sweep up the road, encountering no goblins and returned to the guild.
