Scribe Notes

Sumaldi via Cam's Vale

Duesday 1st Frost

Haldyr is here on behalf of 'the group' - some really old Elves who are nature priests, we'll be working for them, not him. They sent a 4-horse carriage (driver named Smythe) which will take us to Camdindel's tower to meet with Lyria.

Haldyr says they told him there's no hurry but he wants to leave immediately, reluctantly giving us half an hour to grab our gear.

The carriage starts off at a decent clip then levitates and goes faster (about 40mph) until it lands by the lake at the Vale.

We are met by Lyria, we stroll through the vale while we talk. Lyria is agelessly old, we walk slowly as her war wounds trouble her.

Sumaldi fell to ruin about 2,000 years ago. It is a jungle oasis in the desert, lots of magical influences. The city used to be about 20 miles across. The recent (9 years ago) fall of Argon's Watch and release of powerful life and death energies has effected more significant and accelerated changes.

• Someone has been 'gardening' the herbs there.
• Harvesting any Moonflowers we find would be a bonus.
• Fauna were also influenced by the energies, lots of changed animals and varied/unusual undead. Undead insects and animals. Undead Hag, Sneaky/spiky undead, explosive bloated cadavers.
• A crypt was partially explored. Previous party was employed by a Crypt Guardian to slay a Head Hunter.

Primarily we are being employed for a Botanical and Archaeological survey of Sumaldi. Lyria is also looking for a new home, Sumaldi being high mana could be a candidate.

Ehrendil reports there is a powerful rising evil in Western Filgiso Forest, it has released another blood creature that Ehrendil would appreciate being hunted down.

We then board the ferry to cross to the island and into the solid granite castle for dinner and rooms for the night.

Dinner with Lyria, Camdindel, Legion, Lorto, Maelstrom, Lumon. Syrianth is away being helped to 'transition'.

W'ansday 2nd Frost

Rk 20 duration enhancements and Str of Stone from Lorto, wings from Cass then we fly ESE over 4 mountain ranges of various heights, then over the desert/wastes arriving at the northern edge of Sumaldi about midday.

Knowing the location of it and with permission, we head in to Ilthuryn's glade.
