    Lieutenant Alfrick Visum - Orb of Divination

    'Those present were Jasmine, Thyr'qara, Isolde, Reyhenna, Thorin, Gnarl, Shesarai, Rasuil, Morgan, Garen, Roslyn and myself.

    We were summoned to City Hall to meet with the Herald in regards to a project one Cerulean was working on. A Lieutenant Alfrick Visum was proposing an orb that would allow us to read the thoughts of the population. Many were is strong disagreement with the proposal and the Commander herself told him no. He brought it above her head and we discussed the issue with Herald Fisher, in the end he declined to bring it to the Kings Council at this time and summoned Alfrick Visum to the chambers to tell him he would no longer proceed with the project.

    He is a diviner of some capability and he did not seem surprised by the outcome. He left quickly and after we were done talking we went to find him. My intentions were to see if he wanted to go out for a drink with the group of us. He seemed a quiet man, kept to himself, never ruffled any feathers and did not seem to have many friends, if any. I thought a night out with the group of us might do him good. We got his address at the Bottleneck apartments and headed there, I went in alone so the massive group of us would not scare him and found his apartment, 401 for future reference.

    The door was ajar, so I entered and called out his name, a noise in the other room brought me there and I went inside and found a parchment on the floor which read "Jonni. I am sorry. It is the only way." Just as I read the note the door slammed shut and four pumps in each corner of the room began to suck the air out, immediately I went to my knees unable to breath and then a gas began pumping into the room, the coughing, the wheezing, the burning in my lungs and the paralysis made it so I could not move. Shesarai healed me and someone flipped over the letter he left and on the other side it said "When Shesarai heals you, tell her and the rest I'm sorry too" Luckily the group showed up and opened the door but not before I frantically watched the pump reload explosive fluid canisters as the second contingency took off and a magical spark appear to ignite it, Jasmin immediately launching herself onto me with Inquisitor Morgan and her taking the majority of the blast as they protected me. The explosion took out his apartment, most of that section of the Bottleneck apartments and all the people were evacuated as we left, Engineers being called in to secure the building and assess the damages before people returned home.

    We had no time to break, but we had to refresh ourselves before we went after him again and we managed to get ourselves together and head to an abandoned warehouse in the docks. The address we got from another hidden note behind a picture that Rasuil found after the explosion. The divination magics heavily lingering over the city still, his 'orb' already created and being used as he watched us. An artist on the street being hired because Visum knew he would spill magical ink on Roslyn by the looks of it, possibly to blind her though she managed to avoid the ink trap.

    In the warehouse Shesarai cast a detect magic. A third contingency triggered, we should have know better as the explosions rocked the warehouse itself, the floor disappearing below us and we all tumbled into a facility Alfrick had created. There he appeared as an image, saying that he expected us all to be dead, except Rasuil who he thoughts could avoid the fire enough. He said his next one would be true.

    The room we were in started to again fill with the same gas that paralyzed me the apartment I believe, a form of centipede venom Rasuil said. Most of were up and down, paralyzed, coughing, wheezing, trying to fight off the effects of the gas and finally Roslyn managed to turn into a giant and collapsed the ceiling on us all. Shesarai and Gnarl managing to clear the rock away and the gas drifted off.

    We traveled the Upperdark a bit, fighting off some fiendish goblins and pushing towards Visum we hoped. Pools of Faezress infused water were stumbled upon and we covered ourselves in the faezress, it is known to deflect divination magics and teleportation magics. We gathered a bunch in bottles and then found ourselves out in the Pass, emerging from a cave entrance and heading to the city again to find Visum. Yet when we arrived we met some Defender Marines in front of City Hall who were apparently looking for Captain Sally Williams and Herald Fisher, who missed their meetings.

    Through the use of magics, somehow I caught glimpse of Halbrook fighting someone in the Gaol and when we ran there he was almost dead on the floor, having been attacked by Visum who had teleported away.

    The end of this was finding the Herald to the north of Peltarch, heavily wounded. Captain Sally Williams was killed defending him by the looks of it. The rest of the superior officers and Councillors were gathered into City Hall near the table in the throne room as it is said to block scrying. An attempt was made to teleport the Commander away while she had lunch with a colleague at the Inn, likely for not approving the project. The attempt was thwarted luckily. Alfrick Visum is still out there.

    • Find Faezress to mix and make the Underdark Glorp to cover ourselves.

    • Look through Lieutenant Alfrick Visums old reports for any clue on his whereabouts.

    • I will be attempting to scry Visum myself. I do not expect success but we must try.

    • I would like Inquisitor Morgan to make up a list of charges against Lieutenant Visum for the official report.

    All the members of our group did great work. I owe a personal thank you to Guardswoman Jasmine and Inquisitor Morgan for reacting so quickly in trying to keep me safe while I was under the effect of the poison.

    Shushath the Eternal - Necro-leg.

    'Those present were Jasmine, Isolde, Reyhenna, Thorin, Garen, Roslyn, Thyr'qara and myself.

    Due to my leg problem of late, my friends have been searching for a brace of sorts for me and three inventors were asked to make such a brace. The first inventor however brought out a preserved leg. I believe the intention was to sever my own leg and reattach this new grey leg. This leg apparently belonged to Shushath the Eternal. a necromancer who was defeated and his body dismembered by someone. The leg itself was preserved and Olil thought it might make a good replacement. Needless to say I declined the offer of the necromancers leg and she went off to renew her strength spell, leaving the leg in a chest near us in the commons.

    This is where the leg decided to jump up and start running around and although we managed to get it back into the chest, it was not to remain there. Olil hauling the chest off and the leg escaping again. At least this happened -after- Sprocket provided me with a brace, a normal brace for my leg. Not a necromancers leg or a rocket leg that would fly me off to Selune. Just a good old, gears, cogs, steel leg brace. It works quite well.

    The runaway leg though! Took us on a trip out into the Pass, through the wilds and eventually we came upon a graveyard where we fought a monstrous skeleton and yet again, we defeated the leg. Only for Reyhenna to smash the leg to mush and it then turn into some sort of undead goo which slithered down into a chasm.

    We gave chase, I lost track of how long we tracked this undead goo through the tunnels, though we came upon a creature. I have never met one of them before, some lizard type creature. It wanted shiny things in return for telling us where the leg went so it was given assorted gems and it led us off in one direction. Then we came across some of its not so kind lizardlike brothers and a fight began, a fight that was horrible and had Reyhenna herself down on the cavern floor. We managed to finish the fight there but thought it best to leave the caverns. We found a way up to the surface, sand and sun above us as we climbed out and we found ourselves in the lands east of Narfell.

    We enjoyed the hotspring for a time and found some buried treasure, finally walking back to Narfell and taking a much deserved rest that did not last long.'

    A Letter to Siamorphe - Daggerford.

    'Those present were Tyrus, Nathelin, Guardsman Simon Axegrinder, Thorin, Inquisitor Morgan and myself.

    Herald Fisher approached us to deliver a letter to Daggerford, to be put into the hands of the High Priest of Siamorphe in the Duke's Court. We arranged a teleportation trip but we could only get as close as Triboar, which was 300 miles from Daggerford, but closer than trying to ride all the way to the Sword Coast.

    We were introduced to a Priestess of Chauntea who could arrange for us to reach Daggerford quickly. The method of transport was through the trees and to the Harvest House in Daggerford, the Temple of Chauntea there. Both Priestess Maria and Priestess Merovyna in the Harvest House were helpful though we were told the High Priest of Siamorphe had gone missing while traveling to tend to a baptism to the north. The Cassallanterns finally having a son.

    As we traveled through Daggerford in the night, looking for the route north to go search for the priest we were set upon by a large band of wererats, scurrying out of the darkness and although they were easily dispatched, lycanthropes present their own difficulties. Asking my crystal ball where the priest was, the answer I got was of course cryptic, as are most answers when searching through divination.

    'The arch-devils tendrils seek corruption and the corruption and its antithesis are under and out'

    So, the information we immediately went for was 'The corruption and its antithesis is out and under' We thought meant the Priest could be below, where the wererats likely came from and outside the city limits somehow through the sewers or tunnels below. That is when a friend came up to us, looking up at me he spoke. 'Come join us' 'Follow me.' 'Careful, slime ahead.' The little rat squeaking up at me the whole time and I could understand it. This being something new to me.

    Fighting slimes in knee deep sewage water in the tunnels below, diving under it to the next set of tunnels our little rat friend kept hurrying us along. That is when we found them. The rat swimming up to the bunch of men and women, squeaking away to them. 'I brought them Master!' The little rat bastard tricked us!

    That is when I found out why I could understand him. My mind went wild, I could think clearly about nothing. Hair sprouting all over my body and I began changing. A taste of what my father goes through as I turned into a wererat and my party had to knock me out. I woke choking on sewage water, which is utterly disgusting. My group had dealt with the cultists and we found the High Priest of Siamorphe in a rune circle, a ritual trying to steal his soul being interrupted by us and between Morgan and myself, we sent enough positive energy into the ritual circle to negate and reverse any ill effects on the priest while our group defended us from attacks by the newly animated undead from the negative energy radiating out from the ritual circle.

    We returned to Daggerford with the High Priest, I roamed the countryside a time and familiarized myself with an area to use as a Recall site if ever needed before returning to town and Recalling the group back home to City Hall.

    Priest saved, cultists gone, all of us had remove curse cast upon us and congratulations to Lady Aino and Lady Maurina for the coming children and marriages to secure their childrens place in the Royal family.'

    Gaurithoth of the Limbo, Master Plane Traveler - Coven of Hags.

    'Those present were Jasmine, Nathelin, Morgan, Tyrus and myself.

    We were approached by an arcanist named Gaurithoth of the Limbo. Apparently he is some sort of demonbinder of old and he occasionally stops by to have adventurers do tasks as most present seemed to know him.

    The job today was to find a coven of hags who had a 'Dream Gem' he required for circle magic from and earlier mission given to some people I believe. We were to follow the River into the Rawlins to find this coven. We fought the usual wyverns and harpies, but also half-quaggoth/half-hag looking things that were as tough as their parents.. Deeper along the Scar, down the cliffside we found a cave entrance, gathered our party and ventured forth.

    The walls were covered in a brownish red substance which with the smell accompanying it, I would hazard a guess was excrement with blood mixed in. It was actually very horrible. Deeper in we went and we came upon a sight that will be seared into my mind from this day forth.

    Two hags, two quaggoths, one of the hags with icy blue skin straddling the quaggoth on the ground. It was a horrid sight, yet mesmerizing at the same time, I could not look away. They bid us join, we almost lost our earlier lunch on the floor at that point and declined the offer.

    Go kill our sisters the two hags asked, so we decided not to and yet they let us pass anyways. Even deeper into the cave we found what appeared to be a child, roasting over a fire. At this point, I knew what would happen. Everything in this cave would die and so we went forward, fighting our way through multiple good looking Jonni's as they appeared from some mirrors, we fought four hags and their fiendish serpents, winning the day through a tough fight. Our attention turned to the hags and quaggoths we left behind, we went back and destroyed the disgusting things.

    We found the 'Dream Gem' and we returned it to Peltarch to give to Gaurithoth. A successful mission, the hags are no more, their spawns are no more. The land is safe until the next threat rears its ugly head.'

    The Crimson Spikes - Murder and Mayhem.

    'Those present were Morgan, Erurk, Tyrus.

    After entering the commons, Inquisitor Morgan invited me along on a trip to deal with an apparent murder and possibly some sort of violence against others. It turned out a man by the name of Whitticky was murdered for his inheritance, his wife was assaulted by the men and his children kidnapped, a boy and a girl. All of this done by the Crimson Spikes and the people were screaming for blood.

    We entered the Misty Caves below, the entrance covered by kegs that could be lit to collapse the cliffside down and possibly take the town above with it. Erurk managed to douse most of them and my water elemental finished the last one off so they could not be detonated and we entered the cave in search of the man who did these things. We encountered several of the Crimson Spikes mercenaries and fought our way through them to the last room in the Misty Caves.

    There he stood, the leader of this group of mercenaries, crates on the boat he was ready to board and two children in front of him, each child held with a hand as he threatened them. Their lives and 20,000 gold of Whitticky's inheritance in exchange for his freedom. We agreed of course and he released the boy, the girl he took with him onto the boat and said he would toss her in the water when he was away.

    The girl was tossed in, I swam to go get her and brought her back to the shore. She was not breathing but I managed to clear the water from her lungs and Erurk at that time set fire to the boat the man was on. It burnt up quickly, the other 20,000 in gold washing away into the underground stream and the man having no choice but to swim back to our shoreline. He was taken into custody, the children were returned to their family and the man was brought to City Hall for his end.

    He dangled from a rope, the crowd cheering as he swung and Erurk ending it with his sword after the man choked for a time. The remaining gold we did collect, a total of 20,000 was given to the Guard to return to the family.'

    A Horse Ride - Meeting a Fey.

    'Those present were Isolde, Erurk, Jasmine, Reyhenna and myself.

    After being invited along on a horse ride with the others we found ourselves in some misty forested area thanks to Reyhennas wild horse taking us on a run through the land. We encountered several lights in the mists which seemed harmless at first.

    Isolde played some music for the lights which moved about to the tune and we followed them further into the misty woods and found another Fey, a female figure with an instrument, playing her own music. Isolde matching her music to the Fey's, she began to dance with the lights and Isolde herself was transformed into one of the lights. After a talk with the Fey woman, she wished us to get something from the Huntsman who made his home back before we entered the mist. We were escorted out and after a time the group managed to persuade the Huntsman to give up the green amulet and he explained its function.

    Returning to the Fey woman with the Huntsman following, wanting to kill the Fey for some years. The amulet was broken, the Fey woman severely weakened and Erurk and Jasmine managed to kill her quickly. The instrument was broken and some of the lights returned back to normal people and even an animal companion of the Huntsman.

    We looked for Isolde yet could not find her, perhaps she had floated off as a light before we made it back.. no doubt she will be fine and if she does not return shortly, I will begin scrying for her.

    Bear Hunt - Orc Lands.

    'Those present were Anheim, Reyhenna, Thyr'qara, Aino and myself.

    Having wandered into the commons I heard a group were heading off for a bear hunt so I went to join them. It took place in the orc lands and was a bit rough at times as we fought our way through the orcs. Several of the dumb fist fighting orcs who use no weapons were present as well as the lesser orcs.

    The group managed to track the large bear to a cave entrance and in the company of several orcs, including a wereboar caster. Although I managed to stun him I believe before he could bite anyone, I cast heal, remove disease and remove curse on everyone just to make sure when we returned to the Jewel. The bear itself was a Dire Bear and quite the trophy for some.

    On our return trip we encountered a man that looked much like the Dragon Cultists we have seen and it turns out he was looking for the Hermit, to have a discussion with him likely about joining the Cult. After a bit of a disagreement with him he attacked and we killed him and finally returned to the city. Keep your eyes open for more Cultists and be wary, they are tough.'

    Horse Kidnapping - The Slaadi.

    'Those present were Verika, Tyrus and three other men, I caught the name Nathelin and Baras, not sure about the other but he was a druid I believe and myself of course.

    The Horse Seller from the southern gate came to the commons and I walked in a bit late, but the conversation was regarding a large frog stealing three of his horses. That large frog being a Slaad, green in color to be exact. So the hunt began and we headed south to find this Slaad and the horses.

    At the Crossroads, near Sam's Hole were the tracks of the Slaad and something it was dragging along and we found the creature with a dead horse by Verika's tower. The creature at first did not seem hostile and actually called Verika 'Mama' but then seemed to get irritated with me casting behind it and cast a few dispels on me. It then turned its attention to the man named Nathelin and punched him. At this point I attacked the creature, the others joining shortly after and the creature was destroyed.

    The other two horses were found after. One at the Rats and Bats, Radnack the cook had found it running the Pass and brought it in for dinner. I spoke to my Aunt there and she had Radnack release the horse. The second we fished out of the river past the Legion and the Hin town to the East of the Crossroads. Both were returned to the Horse Seller at the gates.

    Extra Note: There appears to be a Dryad living in the tree just north of the Rats and Bats restaurant. She was helpful in finding the horses, so try not to disturb her.'

  • Restricted Access To The Following Report

    Service to the Jewel - This report is filed ONLY to the following people for now. General Del'Rosa, Commander Lycka Zomasdottir, Captain Gorien Harbottle, Lieutenant Reyhenna Jorino, Guard Jasmine.

    Jill Facility - Gorien Harbottle.

    'Those present were Isolde, Reyhenna, Tyrus, Jasmine, Garen, Aoth, Roslyn and myself.

    I attempted the other day to contact Captain Harbottle due to some problems we were having with Crown officials and Ceruleans. Mainly, between Reyhenna and myself. Although we solved the issues by ourselves, the constant lack of appearances by the Captain had some annoyed. No response was sent so I contacted Odelle instead and she responded and we met near the Witch and Seer.

    It took some prying but she told us about the issues the Captain was facing and so we arranged to help her. After a short talk with Douglas Latch regarding his cooperation and a deal to possibly see him escape death, get out in ten years and face only exile after, we managed to get the information required to help the Captain. I will also say, Latch was truthful as far as I can tell and it was because of him that we found the remedy for the Captain.

    The Herald arranged for us to meet a Fifth Star from the Jill facility and we spoke with him about us helping them save the Captain. To the facility we went and into one of the Compass worlds. A strange experience to say the least. It was an alien world with creatures everywhere, voices and large shadowy cracks trying to pull us in. Despite being told it would be empty, this world was far from empty.

    The remedy for the Captain, to cure him from the Wand of Abyssal Darkflame that was used on him. The water from an Oasis and it was given to him upon our return to the facility. Slowly gaining himself, he ordered me to arrest the Fifth Star Ceruleans for insubordination. I asked Guard Jasmine to place them under arrest and take their weapons and then people started to get very grumpy.

    Reyhenna suggested the Fivers remain under house arrest due to their knowledge on the facility. I had the Fivers bring in a squad of Fourth Star Ceruleans for the time being to help secure the facility. The Fivers were left there due to their knowledge on the facility and to make sure no one tampers with anything. Currently on house arrest in the facility, awaiting the Commanders orders.

    I have no doubt they will await their fate. They are good men and women.'

    My personal thoughts on the matter are such.

    • Captain Harbottle is right. They did disobey orders, though out of loyalty and love for their Captain. I hope this will be taken into consideration if any punishment comes.

    • The facility should be reviewed and possibly closed. I am not knowledgeable enough on the subject yet to make a decision, though with what happened to us on that world, something beyond what anyone else has experienced it seems. I do believe it deserves more investigating.

    • I promised Douglas Latch I would speak to the King for what its worth, to secure his 'deal'. I could actually care less what the final decision is, though I will keep my word and give my opinion on the matter to the King. Lieutenant Reyhenna would be best to follow up on this with though.

    • I currently have another Netherese Rune in my possession that can take us to the "Rising Cliffside" world. I also have one bottle of the water used to cure the Captain in my possession still. For future study or use.

    SRPHMWIII - The Flying Egg Laboratory.

    'Those present were Reyhenna, Erurk, Jasmine, Rasuil, Vick, Thyr'qara, Scott, Arien and myself.

    Our day was interrupted by a sight roaring overhead then crashing down into Nars Pass near the Tempus Shrine. An egg laboratory, some type of flying thing.. its owner a strange man that went by the name of Sir Roderick Prendergast Harrington Montgomery Wilberforce III.

    It seems his flying egg laboratory ran out of fuel and we helped him find more. Large crystals down in the bugbear mines near Norwick. It was a trouble filled journey as the group was somewhat chaotic in its way of proceeding. Facing down Elder Earth Elementals and smaller ones, with bugbears and hobgoblins mixed in.

    In the end we managed to get the crystals from the big massive crystal that drains your energy in the tunnels there, though we lost one among us before I was able to close the portal summoning the elementals. Thyr'qara died fighting an elemental and getting drained of life at the same time by the crystal. Savras returned her to life upon our return to the city.

    Not a great trip, but successful and a promise to take us to a remote destination at some point in the future from Sir Roderick.'

    The Flumph's

    Copied over from the Aboleth report log.

    'I'm still not quite sure how this all happened, BUT, we found the Flumph's.

    What is a Flumph you ask? It is a floating disk, with some tentacle eyes, plus some tentacle arms and this oddly wide mouth as wide as the whole disk.

    Why were we searching for Flumph's? Still not really sure, we went looking in the Underdark for Levi Wendell and her "Million" Aboleth covered Obelisk and somehow due to Roslyn, we found Flumph's instead.

    Nice creatures though. They seemed an agreeable sort, though they only speak Undercommon. They seem to be able to read thoughts too as they change colors depending on the thoughts you are having and the mood they are in perhaps?

    We however have allies in our fight with the Aboleths now. The Flumphs feed off psionic energies so they lair in the water close to the Illithid city. They have agreed to come with us when we go to fight the Aboleths and 'soak' up their psionic energies to leave our minds free somewhat to deal with the threat.'

    The Farmers Frozen Cows - Mysterious Creature.

    'Those present were Verika and myself.

    We were approached by a man in the commons, a farmer of the city who was drunk and had said he lost all his cows and was ruined. He said his cows were frozen into blocks of ice and no one would believe him, so Verika and I went to investigate.

    The journey was not too long, but we found his cows frozen solid in a small clearing in the woods to the west of the farmlands. Encountering several snow goblins as well along the way. At first I thought some ritual and there was magic present where the cows were frozen though it turned out to be something else.

    We continued in through the back way of the woods to the orcish valley and there was a creature fighting the orcs, orc bodies all over. When we found the creature, it was eating one of those Cultists we have been seeing, from the Cult of the Dragon. I have never seen a creature such as this but I tried to do a drawing of it, see if anyone else knows what it is. Either way, my blade would not pierce its hide, so I told Verika to run and then turned ethereal and we made our way out, leaving the creature to its eating.

    The farmer who took us to the cows followed us the whole way until he was taken down by an orc arrow in the valley. I gave his body to the Selunite Temple to cleanse and bury.'

    All Defender patrols should be wary if they encounter this creature, it has several magical powers at its disposal, icy breath like a dragons, ice storms, cones of cold and it is very strong and its hide is tough.

    Last Storm Giant Paramount of Narfell

    'Those present were Verika, Khyale, Tyrus and myself.

    Tyrus and myself were asked by Verika if we wished to go along on a journey to Mount Nar. I was reluctant at first due to the presence of the Creel, I did not wish to upset the Narsmen more but in the end, we all went. It led to some interesting questions on the connection between this trip and another subject.

    We fought a few Creel but made our way to return the spear to the unresting giant ghost upon the peak. The last Paramount of the Storm Giants of Narfell who died during the giant Wars. I translated the few words he said and when his spear was returned, he went to his final resting place with one last word whispered on the wind. "Hashnar"

    I asked Verika and Khyale who Hashnar was and all they could offer right now was that Kryonar the dragon had a child and that child's name was Hashnar.

    The mention of the name Kyronar again. I really need to find out who this Kryonar is. Time to hit the books and see how this may possible connect to our Cultist issue, if at all.'

    Ky the White Dragon and the Cult of the Dragon

    'Present: Jasmine, Gnarl Horst, Thyr'qara, Tyrus, Second Star Nate Wingates, myself.

    As we were sitting in the commons enjoying the day, two shapes flew through the sky in a battle. A green dragon and a white. The green plummeting to the ground after the battle. So stopping briefly at the Henchman camp outside the southern gates we paid for a few trackers to accompany us and we set off looking for the downed dragon.

    A short walk into the Pass near the bridge and we came across them, the white eating the green. Ky from the Coldstones it seems and he wished us to do a task for him or he would kill us. We entertained the idea because we sort of have the same enemy, the Cult of the Dragon who at first were trying to recruit Ky then they decided to intimidate him with other dragons.

    A shadowwalk with the help of Nate which unceremoniously dropped us into a river and we almost drowned but managed to work our way out and we were in the wyvern lands searching for our cultists. As they cannot seem to get the dragons of the land on board, they were resorting to wyverns for now it seems. We fought a long battle though the wyverns and found our cultists with the help of the trackers we hired.

    It was a tough battle, there were over a dozen of them and only six of us. Priests and warriors were set down by my gods powers for a time but we were swarmed by wyverns as well and after the battle, we were beat up but none of our number were dead. All the cultists lay at our feet.

    Ky did mention one thing of note that I will look into if nobody knows who this may be.'

    The Independent League Votes

    'Present were Jasmine, Reyhenna, Erurk and myself.

    We were asked by Jessica Whyte to go speak to Berlinne Toews who was causing some voting issues within the League in regards to some Independent leader votes. Going to the College we sat and spoke with her about not trying to allow the League to deal with League voting business. It seems she has a concern about "The Voice" and how the people of the Jewel are not being heard.

    She made a recommendation and the group of us discussed it a bit. A "Voice" for each District, so the people voices will be heard better in the King's Court. Elected by the People to represent the People.

    Although I feel the title of Voice seems tainted by this issue now and we should seek another title, I simply went with District Mayor in my write-up below. I am no expert at writing up codes of ethics, so these are just some things I thought important. A duration is included as well. I wished it to be four years, but other opinions made me include a ten year term. I tried to keep it simple, in the end the King can remove someone if required.'

    District Mayor

    • They shall work for the common good of their District and the citizens within, while refraining from actions that would harm other Districts or Peltarch as a whole. They shall present the concerns of the citizens to the Crown truthfully.

    • They shall support and uphold the letter and intent of the laws in Peltarch and shall demand the same degree of respect for the law from all members of their administration.

    • They shall serve for a period of no more than ten years before having to seek re-election.

    • They shall have a yearly re-evaluation and shall face possible removal by the Crown if they have been found lacking in the performance of their duties.

  • Lieutenant Jorino, rather uncharacteristically, adds an addendum to Jonni's last report.

    RE: Cult of the Dragon:

    Myself, Isolde, your brother Zoma and some others also encountered the work of the Cult recently. A caravan from the halflings was massacred and the cargo stolen and offered to a Linnorn, who was thankfully disinterested.

    Of note: the Cultists themselves did not make an appearance, rather we learned of their involvement through questioning a Devil they had summoned to do their dirty work. We returned the cargo to the local merchant, and the bodies to their families.

    Gnoll Undead in the Pass.

    'Present were Morgan, Tyrus and myself.

    Tyrus entered the commons saying there was a necromancer present in the Pass, near the Ridge area along the Gnoll Woods treeline. We proceeded down to investigate and found exactly what he said was there plus others.

    A man in armor with two axes, a man in robes casting spells which I believe was a priest and several outer planar creatures as well as several undead gnolls and wyverns. We dealt with the creatures and men, looking over the area we found several gems, gold coins and vials as if an offering to something. I say this because the men were wearing the symbols of the Cult of the Dragon.

    I looked to the sky but saw no winged creatures above thankfully. We took off back to the city and I kept the armor for now in case it is needed for any reason.'

  • Service to the Crown - Filed with the Heralds Office

    The Ales and Wine Society

    'Present were Isolde, Reyhenna, Jasmine, Morgan and Erurk showing up later.

    Isolde got in touch with her contact in Yulash and the deal is on. Jessica Whyte will be given audience and trade will hopefully begin between Yulash and the Jewel. Jessica Whyte has left already it seems to tend to that matter.

    A matter that needed to be dealt with was the Ales and Wines Society, a newly forming Guild based in the docks district. They were upset as to the taxes they were paying compared to the competition, the larger competition at least.

    The usual tax percentage was six and a half for the Ales and Wine Society. We managed to get them to agree to a 'Start-Up' initiative. For two years, they will be taxed at three and a half percent. A third year could be possible upon negotiations with the Crown. Terms of this third year agreement will need to be thought out at a different date. This will give them a time to get started, without being closed by the taxes alone.

    Alfrick Lenson of the Ales and Wine Society seemed pleased with the end result, Lady Whyte has agreed to the terms and will likely endorse this option with the Crown. This is a possible solution for all start up businesses. This will promote trade, encourage growth and offer up possibilities for the Guilds themselves to purchase newer but also businesses that have been established for at least two years.

    For the agreed terms, the Ales and Wine Society will endorse the Crown at the next meeting of the League of Guilds.
