Essential equipment for a sojourn in the Dark Circle (DC)

Courtesy of the SAG, Duke of Carzala and the Church of the Western Kingdom.

Since the Dark circle counts as a dangerous environ the cautious adventurer should have all or at least some of the following essential items.

Waters of Strength (4) – Rank 20

Greater Enchantment Necklaces (2) – Rank 19, two diamond studded necklaces (matching earrings as well for those fashion conscious individuals, quite exquisite – Ed)

Healing Potions – As many as you can carry. We did manage to avail ourselves of extra services and got 2 Heal all damage Potions and 14 excellent 20 points.

A potion of Rank 20 Necrogeny

Mind Cloak Potions (2) – Rank 3

With all these items and more of your own choosing you may have a small chance (akin to a snowballs summer vacation in a local solar flares hangout) of surviving the DC, but before you leave Seagate make sure your estates are in order.

1st April 00

Organising for the trials and tribulations ahead WWe all met up in Guild meeting room 66, which I thought a bit suspicious until I saw Silken and Blitzkrieg sitting there discussing some court gossip over whom had done what to whom and why. The stuff of their daily lives but far above myself, a merely working class adventurer who fought day to day to stay ahead of the rabble of society.

II introduced to Blitzkrieg and exchanged pleasantries with Silken (whom I had met on a brief trip to OZ) and took a seat and undertook the same duties with the other party members that followed me in shortly afterwards.

A SAG functionary, a toady little man named Smithe who absolutely fawned over Silken (understandable really, being so beatific and all - Ed) came in and discussed with us the terms and conditions of the mission which was to raise the siege in the dwarven superstition mountains and bring the dwarves back into Seagate.

Both Silken and Blitzkrieg were acknowledged for their devout practices (which ones were not specified – Ed) & high standing with the church, Dramis was noted as being a vassal of the Duke, Bleyze and Jaundice for their fiery reputations and myself for my martial prowess.

2nd April 00, Continued Organising and planning

After undertaking the tedious work of gathering supplies we decided we were ready to depart Seagate. Upon hearing of this news the Church representatives decided they wouldn’t have us just leaving like normal party’s, as with the Dark Circle they needed some open show of opposition and power.

3rd April 00, Time to depart this fair city of light

The day dawned a dull and overcast, there was a large parade through town with us the focus of the fanfare, Silken was positively radiant and looked supremely angelic with even a hint of wings behind her (I always thought she was a busy little bee –Ed), Blitzkrieg on the other had looked the part of Samuelite’s hardened enforcer in his dark robes and a whopping huge Scythe in his hand.

The rest of us were basking in their reflected glory and enjoyed the occasion tremendously and once the parade finished outside of town, away from prying eyes we all slipped of to our pre-arranged rendezvous with some other guild lackeys who held our trappings of war and retribution.

We quickly gathered our supplies and departed Seagate via a secret portal to Dramis’s estates in Brastor to the south. We emerged in his estate’s main house and once we had seen to our mounts feeding and safety we adjourned to Dramis’s safe tower for an evenings repast before the horrors of the coming days. We were interrupted by a knock at the tower door which turned out to be a servant of Dramis’s who begged for his master to take him and several other lackey’s in from the dark and stormy night.
