The Beginning
I am summoned by B Phrygian to The Little Rose Tavern to meet with a group to help investigate the strange happenings within the Quag, the swamp beside the small town of Autumnach. I am introduced to Boyan who is to be our guide and B Phrygian the one who summoned us and is our chronicler. I am also joined by two of my Dragon Rider Colleges, Caradoc (Doc), and Welphina. As we're speaking a green dragonborn came running in to announce that three ogres were attacking his mother's farm. We all ran to help, followed by some weird guy that keeps talking through my head. He announced himself as his Holiness Rega Kadosh. He helped us defeat the ogres, though our dragons did a lot more than he did, and we proceeded to drag the nasty things bodies back into the swamp they came from. The dragons; Xalar, Aiven, and Miirthan did the majority of the work as we dragged the dead thing's bodies. Doc tried to convince us to bury the foul creatures, but we thankfully talked some sense into him and persuaded him otherwise; it is a swamp after all.
We continued on into the swamp, walking for the rest of the day before making camp. The strange, telepathic man was still with us and we decided we might as well introduce ourselves to him, though we still know very little about who he is and why he is following us. Boyan took first watch and I took the second. As I was watching, leaning against Xalar who was happily sleeping, goosebumps suddenly covered my arms and the hairs of my neck stood up as an eerie, voice-like sound echoed through the swamp. I barely notice a dark smoke-like shadow creeping out of the Quag, just as I started to notice it the smoke immediately retreated back into the Quag. I am extremely unnerved by this and when it came for Caradoc's watch I made sure to report this to him.
Nothing happened the rest of the night, and everyone kind of thinks it was a trick of my eyes, but I do not think so.
As we continue through the Quag, Boyan makes sure to guide us around this tree that he says is called the Fey Tree. We have finally reached the Great Chasm, to find a group of Ogres congregating right around the edge of it; which is very peculiar since Ogres do not socialize or form in groups. All the ogres have this strange huge bony handprint on their shoulder-blade. And they're all kneeling, and chanting some strange name; Ravina. Boyan has never seen anything like this before. The chasm is absolutely huge, and all plants around it are decaying and dead. B Phrygian says that there is a necromancy aura of magic coming from the chasm.
As everyone is talking quietly amongst themselves, I suddenly noticed the inky black smoke is back, forming over the chasm and into the shape of a female form. I quickly drew everyone's attention to it, and was not sure whether to be relieved or not that they also could see it and it really wasn't a trick of my eyes. The ogres immediately went from kneeling to full on bowing. And as she, for the form was female, looks across the land, her eyes stop on us and I knew she saw us. And suddenly speaks. Not out loud, but within my head, similar to how Rega spoke to us, but much colder, and evil. She showed extreme interest in our intelligence; almost excited that there is somethings other than ogres and wisps within the swamp. She made it very clear she wants us, in what way, I do not think I want to know. The moment we realize she is after us we all flee from her, knowing that this is our only chance. We finally make it past the swamp, and the moment we get out the smoke stops its chase and we are safe. As we looked back towards the inky smoke, it billowed out around the swamp, but did not go past the boundaries of the swamp. For now it is contained within, but for how much longer, I wonder.
