Scribe Notes

Session One

Day 1

This must be the first time I had been in one of the upstairs meeting rooms. The Men/Women in Black aka Guild Security were there as well as some other adventurers, only a few I recognised. While I was trying to figure out why there were at least three necromancers in the party and why they had been requested, and was JayCee, who hadn't arrived yet, their Minder, Grizelda came in to complete the sextet. There had to be a story for the Times in this. So we decided to sort out our party dynamics before talking to our party employer. The Man in Black did tell us that our employer was Captain Karnos, who represented a concerned group of merchants, and wanted us to deal with some sort of anomaly in the northern part of the Great Shallows.

What I was told about the rest of them was:

Grizelda Felspar - She had changed a bit from when I last saw her. She was once a Hill Giant but was now more of a tall human. She described herself as bear like in bulk and demeanor. Rune mage and shape shifter, being able to change into bear form. She was also Chaos tainted, which was also something I was unaware of.

Eugene. He is a 6’4” tall Necromancer and accompanied by two undead companions.

Sau Rus. Him I had met before. 5’5” tall, carried a glaive, and is also a necromancer. He collects body parts and is able to insert functional body parts into other people. We had previously discussed him giving me butterfly wings so I could fly but now I have my Air Wings, I don't need to take that option any more.

Rayne – a female human wearing blue blue and white. Originally she had been an air mage like me but, at some point, had added necromancy to her magic.

JayCee – a hobbit female illusionist. She was introduced by a clay golem who then stated a desire for world domination. I had only ever met JayCee once, when I interviewed her for the Seagate Times so I was rather looking forward to adventuring with her. Maybe she could help me get in touch with my 'inner hobbit'.

As for me, I'm Aurora, a female elven air mage with a touch of fae magic. I used to have access to the entire College but, after a rather unfortunate incident, where my fae fanaticism nearly lead to my death, I agreed to have most of it Shrived away. I love to fly. Most of my time lately had been dealing with my manor and also attending the Western Kingdom Royal Court. Currently I was wearing an outfit that looked like an inverted flower, complete with leaves and petals.

Both Rayne and I volunteered to be scribe. We decided to defer the decision of party leader until JayCee arrived. It seems that she was held up doing something for Guild Security. It was best not to ask.

Captain Karnos was brought in and we discovered that, while in the Great Shallows, he had observed some strange green lights. Further investigation showed that they were surrounded by some sort of 'anti-life' zone that instantly killed seagulls entering it as well as several sailors. Some sort of extreme life drain was concluded. We would be paid 5000sp each as well as salvage rights to investigate although we had to provide our own transport. He was adamant he was not pushing his luck by going back. An eerie green glow had been seen in the sea and it was possible it was associated with a small island with a tower on it.

Once JayCee arrived, Rayne was elected Party Leader although I hadn't really noticed as I was trying to figure out the best way of flying 1500 miles - also how long it would take. Cloud seemed to be the best bet and it turned out Rayne's Cloud spell was better than mine.

By now it was rather late. I had intended to do some research in the Guild Library that evening but it seems that the Guild Library can be rather spooky at night. So I decided to leave it for the following morning. I was lucky enough to find Aaron in the Guild Pub so we spent the night together.
