Rovagug 4, 4708 - Finding at the Glass Factory

Rovagug 4, 4708 – Lyk ask me to attend a meeting with the Mayor Deverin, Sheriff Belor, Shalelu Andosana (Carufinwe mother), Carufinwe and the merchant council to discuss the goblin issue. Lyk also requested Andrian and Riley to be present, too. Shalelu was very surprised the goblins did not attack the town but took a body from the graveyard instead. Shalelu also told us about the goblin working together for the first time. They are even trading with each other. She does not know who leading them. Usually one chief will rise up and unite the clans. If you can kill him, you will break up the cause. This time no chief seems to be in control. Andrian spook up and told her who we think the leader of the goblin is. Naulia, the young girl who was believed to have died when the temple burned down. Shalelu says she will have to check this out. Shalelu also talk about a Dwarven ancient city Radruundar (in the Greater Kodar Mountain Ranges) is being attacked by the goblins. The dwarfs at the city are defending it but will not hold out for long just because of the number of golbins. I wrote my father explaining this and gave the letter to Aldern Foxglove to deliever it to a dwarven merchant to take it to my father today.

“Letter to my Father:

Father, Rovagug 4, 4708

I made it to Sandpoint and had a nice visit with Uncle. But news has come to my attention you may need to know, along with the others. The ancient city of Radruundar has been found by a group of dwarf in the Greater Kodar Mountain Ranges. They are under attack by the goblins in the area. For some reason, the goblins have banded together for some unknown purpose to attack this place. I’m joining a few others who have help defend Sandpoint from a minor attack of goblins. The attack was strange that they did not burn the village but took a body from the graveyard. We will travel out to see if we can get more information and to tell others in the area about this new upraising. I will try and get more information about the ancient city of Radruundar. For my part in saving Sandpoint from the goblin attack they have given me chainmail, a maul, horse and traveling supplies. Five of us will be planning to leave soon. When I have more information I will send it out to you as soon as I can.

Your Faithful Son,
Bruntalmar”

Lyk came to me later about news of a kidnapping. He took me to see Carufinwe, Riley and Andrian who where all in Riley sister room along with Riley grandmother. They found a letter asking her to meet Riley half brother at the glass factory last night. It’s not clear if she went to meet him or not. Because, her place was all set to have tea with Riley grandmother today and Andrian told us he noticed that a struggle did take place in her room.

After talking about it we all decided to go to the glass factory to check it out. Since it was getting close to dark we decided to wait until it was. We check out the factory and decide the door to the sea would be the best way to enter the factory. Because it looked to be the only use is to remove the trash from the factory. When it was dark we went to the door. As we got to the door Andrian listen and hear Tsuto voice and some goblins talking. We got ready to surprise them. Andrian jumped out at Tsuto who was opening the doors and attack him with Lyk, Carufinwe and Riley following. Riley did something that almost brought Tsuto down. (It was like some kind of invisible weapon hitting him that is why I never saw it before and it leaves no blood just a bruise.) Andrian next attack brought him down. Carufinwe and Riley took out a few more goblins before they started to run. I killed one as it ran past me and Lyk took after the golbins with Riley following them. Lyk told me Riley killed three and he was able to capture one later. I stayed with Andrian and Carufinwe to look after Tsuto. I was able to stabilize him and removed his leather armor. Andrian got out some rope and started to tie him up. Tsuto came to and started to cast something but Andrain knock him out again. This time Andrain put a rag in his month and blind folded him. We found a book which told of his involvement with the attack three days ago. It also seems he is planning an attack against Sandpoint to destroy the whole town just like Shalelu Andosana was warning the town before the first attack. Lyk and I took Tsuto to the sheriff for the town to decide his fate.

The other started looking for Amiko. Lyk and I return after putting Tsuto under lock and key. The others have not found Amiko yet but found a set of stairs leading down. They also found Lord Longiko Kaijitsu encased in glass. He was not burned and had a state of fear was on his face. He could be still alive but I would not believe it but only sorcery could imprison him with out burning his skin so he could still be alive. They also found parts of the bodies and bones of the workers. It looked like the goblins were cooking and eating them. This will not go well with the town folks when they find out.

We went down the stairs to a long corridor. The passage seems to be used for smuggling things into the factory as the left branch of the passage went to the cliffs. This could be how the goblins or the attack on Sandpoint could come but we found no goblins. We went back to the fork and took the right branch. Andrian was attacked by some demon from another world which I do not know which one. It was a large red skin creature with deadly claws and teeth.

It took a group effort to bring it down. After it was dead it seemed to turn into a mist that was strange. I was able to bind everyone wounds before we moved on.

Andrian continue to check things ahead and we came to a small room with a statue of an woman, wearing robes in a style we have never seen. She had a book with a seven pointed star symbol on it. No one knew who this woman was or why it was here.

We came upon a door and then another passageway and another room. This room had a similar statue like the one we saw earlier but carved from red stone and larger. Out of the room was a door or stairs going up. Andrian heard something like growling behind the door so we went up the stairs to a lock door. Andrian was able to unlock the door when we enter some bluish purple skinned man with tiny horns, a tail and dead eyes. I believe to be an undead we where able to dispatch this creature faster. We continue on but the passage collapsed from above and we had to go back.

We found another one of those red skin demons and it took us all to take it down. They are very tough and we where lucky again no one was killed. We found 20 skeletons which Riley was able to exercise by some kind of spells. I was please he took out the skeletons. We have not found any goblins in our search. So, it was decided Amiko was not down here so we went back to the factory to finish searching there.

We finished searching the factory and found Amiko bound up in a closet. We released her and she told us what Riley read from Tsuto journal. We told her he found her father encased in glass and she broke down crying. She asked us to take her to him. Riley was being very nice to her during this hard time. I believe he is very found of her and may have some childhood crush on her. Amiko told us that Tsuto wanted her to join him and Nuale with her sorcery powers. To help them burn Sandpoint to the ground. When she refused his offer he tied her up. We found nothing else in the factory so we left taking Amiko back to Rusty Dragon and Riley then took her to her father’s estate.

Rovagug 2 & 3 - Foxglove Boar Hunt

Rovagug 2, 4708 (7/11/2008) – Breadkfast with Aldern Foxglove and the other savior of Sandpoint at the Rusty Dragon. It was a very nice breakfast and if you went away hungry it was your own fault. Aldern Foxglove wanted detail of what each of us did the day before during the battle. The others just gave brief accounts of what they did. I thought Andrian would come up with some great big story of all he did but said very little. He took some control after the battle and was always around the action. Now he was quiet, strange to me. I gave Aldern Foxglove the details of what I saw and did at the battle. I also tried to witness to him but he only thinks of himself and wants to please all the Gods which mean none of them will listen to him. He needs Torag but would not listen.

He also talked about tomorrow boar hunt. He took us to the stables to pick out our own horse for the hunt which we all did. I picked out a nice quiet horse. I will found out tomorrow if it is or not.

After all that I attend the food contest from the reschedule swallow festival. Talking to the people this one was very quiet because of the battle yesterday and the lost of a few town folks. I went to the temple to check it out more and found they did not worship Torag at all. I was quite surprised. I was able to talk to Sable who came to know Torag and was very interested to learn all he could. I talk to him a long time and I’m sure he will pray only to Torag from now on. I tried talking to several others. But, they really would not listen or just listen to not to be rude to me. But, at least Sable came to know Torag. That is a blessing.

Rovagug 3, 4708 (7/11/2008) – We are off to the boar hunt with Aldern Foxglove to the Tickwoods. He told us what we are looking for and his dog found a boar in some bushes. As we approached Aldern ask Lyk to take point and flush out the boar with the spear he bought him. I did not want Lyk to face the boar alone and if he got hurt I could heal him easier by his side and to assist him if need be. I noticed he had two hand axes and I ask him for one. Lyk gave me one hand ax as we approached. All of a sudden Andrian shouted out golbins and the goblins shot their arrows not at us but a very large boar. Once they noticed us they ran as we attacked the boar. Lyk ran up to the boar and was able to hit it. I threw the hand ax and did a little damage as I ran to catch up to Lyk. Then Carufinwe and Andrian shot arrows at it bring it down just after it killed Aldern dogs. I never saw anyone break down over a dog like Aldern did. I tried to comfort him but had a hard time finding the words. I have to watch Riley, he does something but I never see what it is. Andrian made fun of Riley for missing a goblin as it ran away. I would of thought Andrian would attack them from behind. I need to watch them more closer and stop them from killing the ones running from battle or helpless. We then cut up the boar into quarters and loaded them onto the horses. Not knowing why Carufinwe and Andrian requested to have a boar tusk. I would of thought the fighter would want them more than those two. We went back to Sandpoint where we had a great boar dinner that night at the Rusty Dragon.

Rovagug 1, 4708 - Attack on Sandpoint

Rovagug 1, 4708 – What a day I’m sure the humans never had a day of the swallow festival like today. I did as my uncle told me to get there early. I did and was able to get right up front to the stage. It was fun talking to the people in attendances they where all happy and enjoying the day. They where not interested in hearing the words of Torag today. The time came when the high priest open the ceremony. The Mayor talk and I was surprised it was a lady she made some bad remark about a tanner and everyone laugh at it. It does not seem right to be laughing at someone who works hard. I still need to learn more about these humans. Then the Sheriff of Sandpoint got up and talked about everyone not drinking too much and if they do they would be thrown in jail. Just after he stepped down and the high priest was going to speaking again came some strange noise off to my right. I thought at first it was part of the festival but no one was cheering and everything got quiet expect for that noise then they started to speak in the human tongue and it was about killing the towns folk. Not sure if this was part of the festival or not I waited to see what happen next.

I did not have to wait long the creatures that looked like they where zombies but they moved to fast it seemed. An elf next to me started shooting arrows at them with his bow and got a couple right away. Then the creatures hit the crowd killing the town folk. I shot off a Lance of Faith dropping one where he stood. The Sheriff and one of his men, I found out later his name was Lyk and is the nephew of the sheriff, charged into the creatures. I next thought about seeing if they where undead or not but it seem better to try and kill another one as Lyk and the Sheriff where being surrounded, so I did. The battle at one point did not look good. Lyk was getting hit by these creatures and I did my healing word on him or else I felt he would of fell that day. The human high priest was helping the sheriff and Lyk stay alive, too. Lyk was taking two out at a time while the Sheriff seemed to be over whelmed. But, in a few moments they broke ranks and was able to kill the leader who laughed at us saying they only where to keep us busy from the primary objective as he died. After finishing off the rest of the goblins the group left thinking they are attacking the bridges. We ran off to see what was happening at the bridges but all was quiet. The cloak man, whom I found out was Andrian, who helped in the attack foolishly and almost seem to get himself killed noticed that a grave had been opened. We went to the grave site.

At the grave the body was removed and was now empty. The grave disturb belong to the high priest of the church when it was burn down. They talk about is daughter and one of the goblins that attacked was capture and ask why. He told us they where slaves used for the attack so they knew little but did mention of some evil lady with a bad hand was behind it. Rumors began to be told and ask about this evil lady. The Mayor thanked seven of us for saving Sandpoint. The Elf archer Carufinwe, Riley a halfing, never saw him in the battle, Lyk the Sheriff nephew, the Sheriff of Sandpoint, the high priest of Sandpoint, Andrian the foolish fighter and myself. The mayor gave us each 100gp credit to the town merchants.

Lyk, Riley, Carufinwe, Andrian and I went to the merchant where we bought supplies. I decided it was time I had some armor and since they had no dwarven warhammers I went with a human maul. It felt light and had a nice swing to it. It was fun swing my new maul and going thru my other spoils from the victory.
Once again it did not last long as a woman came running out of her house screaming caring a boy who was bleeding. I was only able to stop the bleeding which saved his life while Riley and Andrian ran into the house to see what attacked the boy. When I got into the room I found the dead father and that both Riley and Andrian had jumped into a hole in the floor of the room. It was very close quarters and Andrian had taken some damage again. I was able to heal him so we could continue fighting the goblin, which he soon finished off. It sadden me that I could not help the father he had already pass on. We found out that the boy has been claiming a monster was in his room. After checking under the house the goblin had been here for quite a few months. We found a loose stone on the side of the house how he got in. He must have been a spy getting information for the attack and sense it was over he decide to eat the boy. What is going on with these golbins?

We met an Aldern Foxglove who invited us to breakfast tomorrow morning and about going on a boar hunt with him. He just wanted to thank us for saving his life and many of the town folks, too. My uncle only had minor dealing with him. Saying he is rich and I should go to see what he will give us. So, I’m planning to attend the breakfast.
