Flaurmont 3^rd 1001 (?) Julius

  It has been difficult lately to keep everything under watch. Fulric, Adriana, and De’ath have been watching the Window Rooms, while I keep myself busy watching the gate in the basement. I really hope that Skyratchet brain helps Adriana find ways to deactivate some of the windows, so we can be less spread out like this.
  It has been less than a week since Ko’ar’s Team left, and while Fredigar has reported no arrival yet from the common room mirror, we have had 2 attempted incursions into the Inn.
  We have been trying to be cautious, as some of our visitors in the past have been peaceful or friendly, but others have not been. Two days ago, there was a small team of crow people. Adriana had been in the room with the window, trying to tinker with it. When the trio of black featheres bird men entered.
  At first, they were confused and attacked my wife. By time I got there, Fulric had cast some sort of spell, and the birdmen were frozen in place, only able to look and talk. They called themselves “Tengu” and had been defending their home from a new batch of Rakasta warriors when they fell through the hole in an ancient temple they had been herded into.
  They assumed we had something to do with this and reacted accordingly. We sent them back to their world.
  Tonight, however was a very different interaction. Tonight, Fulric’s window opened, and a man in orange metallic armor exited with a floating kobold in a red robe and red pointed hat. They were peaceful and had come through in search for a friend.
  Fulric summoned me upstairs, and we all sat in the common room. Fredigar replaced me downstairs. So, I went to join them. This Duncan was the head of defense for a city called “Eternial” somewhere I have never heard of. After some discussion I was able to discern that they were not from our world, but from a world nearby. Fulric told me “Plant 4” or was it “Planit 4”. I don’t know, but it made no sense to me for that part.
  Duncan and his flying friend “Aurico” had come through a stone doorway in a mountainside that used to be an ancient temple. But the temple no longer stood there. They came in search for their friend Herman, no, was it He-min. Anyways this was a great hero that had always kept their city and nation safe but had disappeared.
  Duncan had been looking for him for a while now, with no luck. Two weeks ago, Duncan’s spy had been witnessing to a gathering of Evil. An infamous villain on their world, “Skellataur” had been greeting beings leaving a large disk-shaped metal gate. Seen exiting were an unusually large Orc, a Jester of Ice, a green skinned man that was half-metal, a rakasta silver samurai, and a long-haired wizard with a metallic hand and a metallic neck.
  Their spy had barely made it back with this information before he died of some curse laid on him by Skelletaur. Almost immediately after armies of creatures never seen on Eternia before began to attack the city. Duncan was hoping to find his Hero friend to help lead the counterattack, as his magic sword made him near invulnerable.
  Plan B for them was to build a gnomish shield around the city. I did not understand the details, and so asked for Fulric to take Adriana’s watch so she could come translate the mechano-babble.
  I listened for the next hour, and though I knew the words, I had no idea what was being said between the two. In the end Adriana had agreed to go with them to help them finish the device, as she understood what Duncan was saying, where few did. I was not willing to let her go alone, so we are going to this world, “Greyskull”

Flaurmont 9^th 1001 (?) Ashira

  This journal communication is an amazing spell. First, I wish you and Julis the best of Luck in Greyskull, I may be heading there soon.
  Oh, in case the journal doesn’t state this, it’s Ashira.
  I have been tracking an Annis Hag. She is an 8-foot-tall mass of graying muscle and hair. She often hides herself as an old woman, calling herself “Granny Ally.” This Hag has been moving with her coven of hags (is that the right term, I don’t know) from place to place using rune magics. They carve ancient runes on Boulders or rocks and then enter them. Anyways these hags have been traveling around and taking children.
  I first became aware of them, when I was training. I was studying in the woods, near the Tabi tribe. I returned to Sisak when I finished my studies with a Tabi-monk and was about to move on to an Elven Monk on the other side of the town. But when I returned…

Flaurmont 11^th 1001 (?) Ashira

  I have found the correct Rune Granny Ally used. I need to find her before she strikes again. From what I can gather she still has a coven of 4 hags with her after my last meeting with them.
  I know you need to know, but I hate to relive this. It’s hard to write through tears. Granny Ally and her Hags ate the children of Sisak. They ate Kyl. I was not able to find them in time. I found their bones and tattered clothing and belongings at an abandoned site just 3 days away from Sisak, through the forest, past the basilisk cave. I guess the basilisk had been keeping the Hags at bay, and when we had slain it, the hags crept farther south.
  I found their coven, and in a rage I ran into their encampment, and beat two of the lesser green hags to death with my hands. I was certain that the rest of the coven would have cursed me or something. I was certain I would die, but I didn’t care. I just couldn’t stop seeing the faces of all those kind people from Sisak. When I finally collapsed, I screamed in anger, and a blast of light emerged from my body blinding the Hags and they retreated into the mountain side.
  I passed out, expecting not to awaken. And when I did, I cursed them.
  Their leader had carved a rune onto the side of the mountain, and now I had no way to know where they were. For some reason though, When I traced the rune with my fingers, it glowed, and I fell through the rock face.
  I spent the next 6 months of my time chasing these Hags down, and each time I would have something similar, I would catch one outside it’s coven trying to lure children in, and I would beat it to a pulp, but the hags kept getting harder to kill. And they began making deals with creatures I didn’t understand.
  The Hags are now down to 3 in their coven, but I have discovered that they have struck a deal with a demon of some sort. And they have headed off to a world known as “Greyskull,” If I survive the next encounter, I may need your assistance.
  Your sister of Sisak,
  Ashira.

Flaurmont 17^th  1001 (?) Fulric

  I write this into the copy of the Journal held in the Comeback Inn, for future reference.
  I have been feeling my connection to the Fey Wild disappearing. If I stay on the mortal realm, I may never see my people again. I am thus, sadly, saying goodbye to everyone here.
  I have placed an Illusionary Script spell on this page so that my message will not be discovered until after I have left to do what I must.
  Whatever chaos is happening in the world’s time; it is starting to affect the Connection between the planes. I fear Entropy may be winning the war of the spheres unless we find a way to stop it. I have sent work to Oberon, my King, and he will arrange a portal for me at the edge of the strange forest nearby at midnight tonight.

Flaurmont 22^nd 1001 (?) De’ath

  Fang and his team of nitwits have finally appeared through the gate in Tuma. As they arrived, the new kitten was snatched from the back of the party, by what looks like a thinner Ko’ar with a hooded cloak. After they snarl at each other, he disappeared back into the shadows leaving her confused.
  I watched, as the townfolk faded back into existence around the team. I watched as Max, the big hairy brute, the Elf-girl, and the old wizard wandered into a restaurant as the people faded back into existence. The people of this town seem to be goblinoids, but not of a breed I have seen. I will check my notes later. Some are Orcs though.
  Once the people became solid, they noticed the team in the restaurant and panicked. Ha! I can imagine having a trio suddenly appear in a Nagpa restaurant, the commotion that would happen… makes my beak twitch in humor.
  Fang joined them in the evacuated restaurant and began applying a disguise on the two elves. I guess they were the cause of the stir, not the big bearded one.
  We watched as Fang was lead by something tiny through the town with his friends now disguised as Orcs. To be fair, they made good orcs, except the wizard still flirted with everything he met, and the warrior still walked like a paladin, but this didn’t seem to bother the town as much as their ears had before.
  Fang was led to a house where he met an older orc who looked just like him. Bah I wish I could hear conversations; Fang looks really awkward here, and I wish I could hear him panic-stutter.
  I have been asked to keep notes on everything, so here is the cliff notes:
  ~ Old Fang took everyone to a building in the center of the city.
  ~ Big Cat Ko’ar was locked in a cell, then they let him go.

Ahh right the fun bit!
  The team somehow convinced old-man Fang to let them exhume Bella’s Body, and Boom! The Body sat up and started attacking them!
  Metal Zombies! I must get that device; it would make gardening so much more efficient than my wand was.
  The wizard cast a spell, I can only guess which, but I can see that the brown cat’s ears are bleeding heavily, so he either gave her brain damage or blew up her ears, or both (That might be fun.) Some people need to learn subtly with their magic. Never attack a potential asset. And if you do, make sure to finish the job!
  Fang pulled out his baby harp. (I know it’s a Lyre, but its funnier to think of it as a baby harp, let me have my fun!) and strummed a bit, I can imagine the horrid sound that came with it, but an immense bolt of lightning shot down from the skies hitting the metal body. Again, his friends were right there, he could have fried them too. Stupid Orc-man! Mind you, it would have been hilarious if the metal armor of the warrior woman had attracted even a fraction of that bolt….. just saying.
  Anyways, the team began to recover and the old wizard jumped INTO THE GRAVE! Fun man, everyone evacuates and he jumps in…. bah, now he’s wasting good meat with some sort of acid.
  After all that, they seem upset that something is missing, so… they kept up with the acid, and poured the liquid body into potion flasks! I can only wait until one of them mistakes those flasks for a healing potion…. Ahhh I wish I can see it when it happens.
  So, the team are sent back across town to a school of some sort. where they tried to break into the school, get arrested by guards and dragged back to the central building.
  It just feels like back and forth today…. I need a snack.

Flaurmont 22^nd 1001 (?) De’ath from later.

  I have found it! My old school master’s copy of a history of Tuma. I never did read this thing, but now that I have some finger food, I figured I should look through it.
  Skimming it I can see there was some sort of history between the Oard and the Tumans. They left their world for ours using a portal through the Plane of Earth.
  After living for a long time here, they somehow pissed off the elves and that lead to a curse.
  Hmm… really… Imagine that. Alien orcs somehow piss off people on their world and then ours… surprise, surprise, surprise….
