The Fall of the Light

Chapter 6, 3rd of Hammer

 

 

What a wonderful night! Music, magic, laughter, food, drink! What else could a halfling girl ask for? She could, perhaps, ask to stay. However such is not her lot.

Not only have I sworn an oath to Keeala to find and return the other aspects. This mission is of paramount importance. I could honour the memory of the Order and focus my efforts on rebellion, seeking to supplant the ruler ship of Paramar but what then? With the natural order of the world out of balance a new era of tyranny would be right on the other side of the hedgerow. 

Such as it is we will be setting off once again to seek out the Earth Mother and restore her to her former glory. We’ll also be looking in on the well being of poor Yurin, the elven princess that Cadmael had fallen for. 

Oh and along the way investigate the disappearance of children from a small village west of Darris Rynn. The poor wee ones had been going missing for a few weeks before this village was attacked by ogres. The sad farmer I met yesterday told me the tale and asked for my aid. How can I leave these helpless children to some unknown, grisly fate? That’s right! I can’t. 

 

Blue Wizard to the rescue!

 

Ah, speaking of rescues. We'll also be running a rescue mission for the Red Hand. One of their agents has been taken captive by minotaurs and held in their red prison, in the red desert. Everyone is obsessed with red.. Regardless, we're going to try to break this woman out of jail since, apparently, the Red Hand washes their red hands of any business with unlucky agents despite still wanting their skills in their employ. Only if they don't have to get the red on their hands dirty it would seem. 

I'm beginning to be very skeptical of this organization, and I told Io as much. I'll be keeping a wary eye on their dealings with us while Leta pursues her network.
