Kimon's Journal 6: Bust and Run

Fruhorn does not seem happy. There must be a reason behind his bitter face, should be bad news carry by the messenger just now. He told us that one of his spy haven't come back where she would report every 12 hours. I took initiative to infiltrate the castle as I have made a meeting with the king earlier as a volunteer mercenaries. Vehl and Anima followed me while Mirari and Chloe stay behind. I wonder why would Chloe stay behind this time but I'm not surprise that Mirari just being coard to stay behind instead of concealing his face to join us.

 The guard do not at first let us in as they see us as a weird combination bunch. I took his collar up and gave a fierce stare into his eye telling him " Just take me to the King!" We were lead into a Hexagonal room where there is a pool in the middle, As we walk up the long stairs, Vehl just behaved weirdly as he keep say " Al Hail the king" And I thought we should keep low profile but instead we took a lot of attention.

I had a mission with me, find the spy. I thought i should search every corner if possible even we are stop by the guard. We went into a room on the left where it seem to be King's book storage. There are books about the kingdom and also about the continents.
Guard bust in and engage combat with us as we could not come out a good reason why we are here. It's great to have a warm up fight. I charge a head to fight them head on while Anima support me from the back. Vehl was there staring at the table and the 2 boxes.

We got out numbered and I had to think of a way to close the entrance. I ran back and grab the fire torch. I got slashed from my back as I ran back, I got the torch and throw it at the king's banner hanging beside the entrance. As the fire raged and burn the banner. The rope snapped and a Giant dragon skull dropped on the guards and sealed the entrance. I grab up the last standing guard and intimidate him to tell us more about the puzzle in this very room. He was clueless as he only know the king would do something and the room would glow out blue light. Together we tried to shift the items around. We heard some glass break sound as we move the object. The ground where the object stand had a glowing words and fade as we moved them. The object glowed in blue which indicate it was at correct position and red mean wrong. We finally solved the puzzle when we see there is a ray of light linking the 3 object which looked like a tick to me. The secret door opened slowly.

We rushed in the dark path as we worried the guards outside is smashing their ways through the dragon skull. I was blessed by Kord as i think it is His will to protect me with a deceased dragon. We were stopped by a lady as she was about to cast a magic missile at us but was cool of by Velhs cold magic. Again Velh behave weirdly in front of her which freaked her to ask me to guide her out of this place. She said she was here for hours and a spy of Fruhorn. And there is another room here. Vehl went in and start smashing some glass in there. I went it to see what i could do. Th room is tight and small. I saw there is 3  sand clock there is dropping real fast. As i look to my left i saw a sphere, i reach out my hand to grab it and a knive dash out and cut me. I endure the pain as I retrieve it, another knive dashes at my hand. I could not use my right hand any more as it hurt so much. But i see there is a slot shape like a sphere and I place the sphere in it. The Sand clock and the other one start to reverse as the sand start to go upward as it like defying earth pulling force. Vehl came in to solve the puzzle but he fell in to the ground . He was ok so I jump into the hole too and found my self in some sort of sewer.

I bring the guards with me as we walk to cliff, I accidentally pushed the guard down. To make sure is safe to jump in . I go down too. But somehow the lady jump down too. I grab her so that I would land down first instead of her. Splash! as we fell into a water of feces. It stink and i could stop myself from puking awhile. I told every one is safe to jump in but it will cost your nose. Anima jumped in but Vehl decided to take another way down. We saw a ladder so we swim towards it. It is hard to swim here, Gosh. Soon, we saw Vehl flushed out from another tunnel. I saw light from a path and soon guards appeared. we were surrounded.

Anima's History Part 1/2

When she was a kid, she led a happy life with her family and her village was peaceful. She was brought into the world in a rich family, she had hair of gold and eyes which was as blue as the ocean. Her father was the mayor of the village and life was great, she was surrounded by her family who loved her and also the villagers who adored her.

As she grew up, her father trained her in the art of archery for it was part of their family tradition to pass down their skills with the bow to their next generation to build a strong family capable of taking over their place as the mayor of the village.

As the mayor of the town, her family has had a heirloom passed down from generation to generation. A necklace of magical energies which would be inherited by her brother Aether.

One day a hooded man walked into the streets of the town followed by a group of shady looking people. They began to cause trouble along the streets of the town, breaking vases by kicking them. All the hooded man did was walk along the pavement while the rest caused havoc.

A child running around had bumped into one of them, and they pushed the child down and kicked him before moving on. It was soon that a huge crowd of angry townspeople had gathered around the hooded man and his people. They stood in the middle of the huge crowd which encircled them, and finally their voices were heard.

"SILENCE!!! You mongrels are not worthy of our time, now show us to your leader or else this town will burn to the ground!."

The crowd was enraged and they started throwing rocks and pebbles but they simply bounced of an invisible barrier. Then suddenly the crowd went silent...the crowd opened up a path and walking through it was a tall well built man. He wore an elegant tunic which had the crest of their village on his right breast.

"Who are you and why have you disturbed the peace of this town? I've heard your calling, I am the leader which you seek now state your intentions and if they are not to my liking I shall have you banished from my town."

"We are here for the necklace...if you know what I mean? Just hand it over quietly and we won't leave this town in ashes" he said with an evil cackle.

As though a demon possessed, him the mayor voiced boomed so loudly that it could be even heard at the edges of the town.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE NECKLACE!!! YOU ARE NOT WELCOME IN THIS TOWN EVER!!! I NEVER WANT TO SEE BOTH OF YOU HERE EVER AGAIN!!".

At that moment every single villager who held a weapon in hand readied themselves to attack. One of the hooded man's people quickly raised both of his hands and fire burst from his palms. But before he could do anything the hooded man quickly stopped him.

"No. Don't. They are not worthy of dying by our hands, they shall all die a suffering death, they will watch each other die in their hands."

He turned his head towards the mayor and gave a grin before waving his hand and a gust of wind blew through. When the gust of wind passed they were no longer in the circle and as though the wind was carrying  their voices he could hear words whispering to him.

"I'll be back next time...and I will be there to watch you suffer."

Then all was silent. The crowd slowly dispersed and the mayor walked back to his home with a morbid look on his face. He went into his room and locked the door, pulled a jeweled box out from his drawer and took off the locket which hung around his neck. He opened the locket and nestled inside was a key. Using the key he opened the box and inside was a necklace.

He held it in his hand and it shone with a faint glow, he placed it back in the box and leaned over the table and made a big sigh.

"They are finally here for it..."

Kimon Journal 5: Mission accomplish?

With the same tactics, I breath my dragon blast on them killing 3 of them. They rush forward to engage me,their strength were nothing to me as i pare with them. Suddenly Mirari appeared as he materialized himself behind me telling us to follow the play with him. What? Play? Kord, please give me strength to handle this mind stress. here I'm battling and you ask me to play? Soon i see 6 more goblin followed behind Mirari and I at a second tot we out number which soon I heard a war cry from some sort of big creature. From the edge of my eye, i saw a big sized Goblin approach us.
We are pin down from 3 sides? what can I do? Anima was bloodied and Mirari flee behind the Goblin saying kill the traitors> Who? Me? From the end of the room, Chloe came out with her Guardian. Inpiring Anima with my words and we charged forward toward Chloe as the enemy here is much  lesser and thinkign we can choke the Goblin here.
Is weird that the goblin did not follow us but we kept targeting at the bigger Goblin when Anima and Vehl shoot their best weapon at him. Burning him and injuring him. The Bigger goblin seems killing the smaller one by one instead of engaging us. Why? Without ant explanation we killed the Bigger one. Chloe and Vehl briefed us that there are tiefling prisoners behind and I and Vehl rushed ahead to catch the Goblins that is fleeing away. Chloe tried to calm them but we failed.  Seeing Anima did not catch up , must be her failed to ask the tiefling to come out. Hence i ask Mirari to go down and convince them out. But he ignored me as if he wanted to kill the goblin. What is wrong with him? where is his Honour? hunting down weaken prey but flee from battle?
Again vehl scourged the goblin to dust before we could reach them to see if they can lead us to other prisoners. We went back down to search the rooms for item and convince prisoners to come out with us. Knowing I could not do anything, i went out to the entrance of the cave to guard there. Chloe followed me behind.
As I see the tiefling were following behind Mirari, we head back to finish our mission. once we reach the temple of Pelor, we were brought by Fruhorn to meet The Person. We were brought into a room and Fruhorn trigger the secret mechanism to open a door that a old tiefling sitting in it. We were told to seat down andhe tell us what he foresee. Telling us if we dont take action, death await. Sound like an interesting task, to regain a name a honour for my ancestor. We were giving necklace and mind to be chicken bone? what?! Anima told me that this was bone of a champion chicken fighters. It doesnt seem like any enhancement to me. To respect him,  shall just wear it. And  the Prophet move out from the room.

Kimon Journal 4: Test

We was told that we were under the oracle's prediction, saying that we are a bunch of weird combination of grouping. 2 rare species Dragonborn Me, Eladrin, Vehl; hard past Mirari, tiefling and Anima, cursed elf and a Half breed, The half elf, Chloe. However I'm still having doubt about this leader. He risked his position to help the tiefling? Or he is really good as he told he felt tiefling should be treated equally and oppose the King and Prince order.
His behavior was so suspicious and looked cunning just like how tiefling are. Or may be he must have blend with the tiefling too much just like how the agent know what story he going to tell. is he plotting anything behind as he was with the inFamous 4.
However my blood boils whenever a mission or adventure call. We was tested to go save the tiefling in the mining cave. To see whether we are the strong one to fight for them before we are brought to meet the prophet. Fruhorn took out a map and pointed the place we should head to and Mirari will be the guide.
We went out at night, we thought it should be cooler but the summer night is still as hot. It took us more than half an hour to reach the cave. The cave looked like a goblin cave as there are speared skull outside the entrance. We were greeted by few goblin, since it was a rescue mission and we will need to kill them before the could call out the whole army of them. .
As we fight and tried to kill them swiftly without much noise made. We see glowing eye coming out from the cave. and more goblin and 2 fire beetle walked out.  Though im not afraid of their fire blast but im not sure about my comrade. To ease my worries, i take a step further to kill them first even there is a goblin i must face.. I had no choice to make a ice blast on the goblin and give my strongest might to smash the beetle.  Tanking the damage, and having vehl to burst them out. We succeeded to kill them and i see Mirari was at the most back of out battle team. Is he a fighter that always flee away?
Think no more, we moved in and soon we found a junction. We split our team to search Me Chloe and Mirari, Anima with Vehl a team.  soon we met up with a group of goblin again. i think this will be the front guard. As i jump to battle only to see Mirari flee out of battle again. Soon I see Vehl came in flanking from other entrance. Quickly jump out before i got caught into Vehl fire burst. The result is still the same where our enemy was burnt down into crunchy corpses. 1 goblin manage to escape and Vehl and Anima chase after him. I dont know what happen to it as i come down found it was dead already as i walked out from the spiral staircase. There are 4 room in the corridor and we split again, only me and Anima is in a team. And we found few goblin in it, making us into battle again. This time they are just as weak like others. just a breath of mine already nearly blow them out. With help of arrows from Anima, killing them is like swinging my Axe a few time like training on bamboo stick. we split our looting of hide armor. We heard a burst and we ran out to see which room was in battle too. 2nd room seem empty and no one is there, assuming should be at 3rd room.
There we found a bunch of goblin in the room, we engage into battle again.

Kimon Journal 3: The Prophecies

As we travel out to moonsky city, the weather is hot as the sun is scourging on my scales. We were led by Mirari, the tiefling. Though we were under the shed of the trees, we aren't getting any cooler as if the forest itself was breathing heat to us. Suddenly, I heard there were unusual leaf movement sound from bushes not far ahead. I approach further to investigate. I see not far there pops a head that looked like a goblin. I initiate a peace greet but I got a shot of arrow from them. It leave us no choice but to engage into battle with them. Some of us were unable to locate them as they were sneaky hiding behind the bushes and lay down traps. Somehow i thought that their trap device was not even good enough to hunt a rabbit. Mirari triggered it and arrow shoot out aim the wrong direction and missed him.

They weren't strong against us, but they got my pity when Vehl sent a scourging fire upon them and burned them into crispy corpse. We try to loot anything from the corpse and Mirari again trigger another trap. I wonder is this poor soul born into a wrong body, i had not see a person is more clumsy as me. We continue our journey and Mirari briefed us about the history and politic happening in the city.
As we arrived the gate, the city was calm and quiet. Seem unusual for a big city, but as he told us of what happening under the reign of King Fieldlerson Otiven 8th. We enter the tiefling side of the city which looked pretty rundown and I asked Vehl for the coin and went out to human side with Chloe.
We investigate around about the coin and found out that, it was left by a group of thief that just recently break into a castle and stole something valuable.
I ask a soldier further about the attack on tiefling as we notice the citizen was celebrating on. I found that they are recruiting to fight them. Hence i ask if there is any mercenaries needed? I was escorted to the Castle and was stop by the Imperial guard as the king was having meeting with the senates. Since we have to wait, I asked the door guard about the stolen item. Surprisingly the king was not concern of it even it was a passed down item, a Golden crafted shield. It was meaningless to him just like the Golden dagger, may be he was busy with his preparation against the tiefling. I was told there are a mithril mine that used tiefling as miner to stable the country economic. We decided to go to the temple of Kord here since it was a long time i have visited my deity place. As we walk in the temple, i notice a robe individual is approaching. He seem to be a threat from how he walk, i was in a ready stance in case of battle. But he lift up his palm and stop me. He told us that we should follow him as he showed us that he is a tiefling.
We walked deeper into the temple and see the humans was happy rejoicing and praise Kord for the victory He gave to them. We walked into a candle room, and see a man sitting there. Saying we were the chosen one, warrior to fight for them. It was weird that we came in and his behavior to explain how he know that we are the chosen warrior. Plus he seem to be in hunger of any adventures. I asked him bout the coins and he told us that it was from the inFamous 4 that he was once joined. He knew what they want but we need to trade our effort for the information. His name was Fruhorn Carter, and in the group of 4 there are a rogue, fighter, wizard and ranger. However he keep jumping out of topic as he wanted to tell us about his journey to dragon valley so we listen.
Mirari came in during the middle of the story and he some how was said to be the useless one that keep failed his mission. Well im not surprise that Mirari kept flee from battle as i know.

Kimon Journal 2: Mysteries after puzzles

As we run after Thorin, we tried every efforts to attract his attention and stop him. Vehl used his phantom hand to trip him and Chloe's yelling but failed in trying. As Thorin run toward the town, Chloe shouted to request the Guard to stop Thorin. Thorin made a quite turn when the guard attempted to stop him. They caught up to him but no guard were able to recognize Thorin. He wake, he rushed at me and started to yell, asking about his children.
 His face started to shrunk and rot as i look into his face when he is yelling, he fainted later. I requested Chloe to heal him but somehow her magic does not work on him. I wondered what could have stop the healing, we brought Thorin to the temple. There we started to argue again whether should we do it physically which is me grab out some magic source in him or magically by Vehl. Then step in the white guy and another tiefling. We decided to let Vehl and the tiefling to do the surgery magically as to severe the magic that sucking Thorin's soul.
Suddenly their eye shine in purple light, I feared they might be possessed. I called out to make sure Vehl is still Vehl, he answered and tell us the vision he sees. The when everything is done, we investigate Thorin further but he could not give more information as he looked like he is tranquilized. Then another argument arise as the tiefling tried to lied about his identity when we asked him and also his mission.
Couldnt care more bout it, i walk to the mayor place to claim my pay. Mayor was not there as I walk in and soon we thought there could be any hidden entrance. By putting a sword into the wall with A sword and an empty slot. A door opened, there sat a shadow of a person tied down. We uncover the cloth and found Mayor under it. After some investigation, the mayor was kidnapped by an imposter that hired us to clear of the threat. 
A Golden dagger was stolen while there left a coin. As mayor gave us the money, Vehl make it disappear as i going to grab it. There he said we should not take the money but he went asking if the mayor could give him any magical item. Vehl just being Vehl. We agree later on with the tiefling, Mirari to aid him for his problem in the MoonSky city as we are going to investigate further of the marked coin that left behind by the Imposter.

What could be his intention? Could it be he want to lure us away from city and have us killed so that they can continue their plan? Or just they have succeeded to execute their plan but failed to kill us.
