Ishtar's Journal

Day 0, Escape from the Cult
Ishtar - *sigh* We escaped. Ishtar is doing ok, a bit seasick though. Me and Tumi really messed things up with that ritual. But we got him out, so everything is ok. Ohriana is here, she'll make sure this all turns out ok. Mori is of course also here, inseparable from Altair. I just hope he keeps his blind loyalty to Altair and doesn't turn on us when he realizes why we're running. Helma is here too, but she doesn't seem too loyal to the Church.
Ohriana got us this sweet ship, I'm still unclear on how she swung that, but of course she did.
Tumi - escape from that dull place! Ohr that was fun! Tying guards' shoelaces never gets old.
 
Day 1, Escape from the Island
Ishtar - We got caught in this really bad storm. Altair wanted to sail through despite near certain death! He's terrified of the Church. Ohriana and Helma beached us on this random island, we'll be leaving when the tide comes back in. In the meantime we found fireweed! Suddenly the trip to the mainland is looking a lot brighter.
Tumi - slept through it all.
***
Ishtar - What the hell!? I was taking watch in the morning and saw the headless monster standing on the ocean. Let's get off this island!
Tumi - magical creatures aren't so bad.
***
Ishtar - Mori almost got killed by some gribs. Hilarious. He was hiding from them in a tree. We scared them away no problem. It's weird that they'd attack a grown adult, or teenager I guess. I don't love Mori, but I feel bad that his ghost thing is so strict with him and stops him from loosening up and having any fun. We've got to find a way to get rid of it for a night, so he can have some fun when we get back to civilization.
Tumi - Mori almost got killed by some gribs. Hilarious!
***
Ishtar - For some reason we decided to leave our safe ship and explore this deserted village. Clearly signs of some monster or something. But then we spot somebody stealing our stuff! What kind of person would do that? Luckily the gribs got him, but Helma and Ohriana decided we needed to get some herbs from the island to save his life.
Tumi - I smelled something rotten in that village.
 
Day 2, Escape from the Island
Ishtar - Me and Tumi took morning watch...fireweed.... I wonder if Helma would like some tattoos.... I offered some to Ohriana's uptightness, she took it and didn't have any! Oh! We also saw the monster thing again. Oh! And also sailed around the island a bit.
Tumi - fireweed....
***
Ishtar - Again we leave our safe ship to explore this deserted ship. I'm on board with it though(pun intended), cause deserted ships are cooler than deserted villages. As proof, we found this wicked knife, and some dice that keep rolling 4,2,5. Also a dead guy.
Tumi - fireweed....
***
Ishtar - We just loooove exploring abandoned places. Almost got Altair killed trying to get into this old tower. But I found this beautiful protective bracelet. I'm thinking of giving it to Altair, he needs it.
Tumi - Saved Altair's life.
 
Day 3, Escape from the Island
Ishtar - We watched from the boat as a few of the monsters ate each other in the early morning, creepy. The guy who stole from us woke up. Apparently his wife and child are on the island, so we got them, so that we can finallllly get off this island. The dice are rolling 1,1,2 now, ominous.
Tumi - napping.
 
Day 4, Escape to the Mainland
Ishtar - We got caught in another storm. Did we piss off some storm god? I'm normally luckier than this. Everybody else must have some really bad luck, because monsters also climbed aboard in the middle of the storm. Somehow we fended them off. I'm glad we brought Helma and Mori along, we'd be dead without them. I was able to channel my luck like never before. The dice are now rolling 2,3,4. We found the eye of the storm where a there just happened to be an island.
Tumi - cuddling makes everything better.
***
Ishtar - Got to the island, has weird bone trees, big lizard things, coral above the water. Helma followed a littler lizard to the center of the island, where there was this big electric crystal. It summoned a lightning elemental? We won. Nothing to bad. I mean Altair almost died again, but I've got heals. I really need to improve my knifework.
Tumi - I really need to improve my claw work.
***
Ishtar - Leaving the island, is sunk and a giant sea serpent (we later found out was probably Lindrera – Storm serpent, one of 7...magic serpents?) came up and blessed our broken boat to be able to slowly move.
 
Day 5?, Island 2
Ishtar - Got to a new island with a little town. Adventured to a crystal cave for... some reason. I got infected and looked all sparkly but sadly it'd kill me or something so the alchemist in town brewed up some cure.
Tumi - Sparkles!
 
Day 6, Island 2
Ishtar - Adventured with the archeologist(Absolus, who works for the great Dumoos), stumbled upon a quotable thing that shapeshifted to look like us. Archeologist found his thing which was the top of a big temple of an underwater city, and he took notes. While I was dozing a saw a big golden dragony thing fly above us and into the water, which matched what Altair thought the shapeshifting thing's true form was. Seems harmless. Anyway Altair then had a spooky shadow dream and woke up with this black orb he found and on our travel back, shadow people were following us, but Altair did something with the orb to make the peace out. Oh! and at the beach we fought the giant crab disguised as a rock, but not disguised well enough for me.
 
Day 7, Island 2
Ishtar - Had a dream last night with isometric shapes dancing in the bottom of a little pool in a cave.
shopkeeper got arrested for trying to sell fireweed, we stole from his shop and I got some awesome armor. Then we went to talk to him, apparently he's cool being in prison for a while(1 year while his shop is mostly owned by the baron).
 
Day 8, Island 2
Ishtar - Had a weird thing walking to the baron, who btw has an incentive to kill us cause then he gets all our stuff! its such a racket he has here. anyway i saw a brief moment a moment before the moment momented! so that was weird. Mori went looking the body of the woman Ohriana saw, and found a ring that Helma was somewhat able to identify. We know its a powerful necromantic artifact. Ohriana put the ring on, like an idiot, Altair tried taking it off her and fell unconscious too, but Thello managed to do it without taking a nap. I'm gaining respect for Thello. q
Tumi - I am the one true ringbearer, necromancer of the stars!
