Entry 9 (session 17,18)

Our home was well established with all so many potential dangers around the area well out searching Grillia was captured by Ware folk and we decided to go try to get him back. when we got close a couple burst out of the forest running straight towards us. They were being chased by a pack of wereboars. immediately we rushed to their aid but as it turns out those two were werebears and we were fell upon by where Tigers, wererats, wereowls and eventually werewolves came to our aid. As it turns out where Wolves were the elves, we met Leah, Alilar and their children.
 
we had interrupted a meeting of the surrounding where folk call the Clark consolidation Katrina aware Tiger and the main council member stood in the centre of the fields glowing with energy whatever they had meant to speak about that day was overshadowed by our presence. The wereboar's wanted us dead for killing one of their own in defence of the where bear. We had wanted Grillia back which we found out was turned too aware boar. The vote was in our favor and we redeemed to just be using self defence, but we were not able to get Grillia back. They had told us the Grillia we knew was dead and when I tried to speak with grill yeah through sending to see if he wanted us to fight for him, he told us to leave that he would handle it. Walter is furious for leaving his friend behind but ultimately knew there was nothing that could be done.
 
Unfortunately, in the battle Tacitus was infected by aware Tiger named Anne, who unlike the boars would not force him to stay but did say that he was considered family now. As we headed back i tried to use remove curse. And although it did ease some pain, he was still inflicted it would take more time.
 
We decided to travel through the night risking exhaustion to get home where it was safe and when we arrived, we were informed we had a visitor it was a man by the name of the root of delirium who said I caused him some problems when I invoked that I was a part of the agent of the pact. Ultimately, he asked us to join forces with him he told us about a fiendish war between demons and Devils. He made a deal with the Devils that they would occupy high field but only there and not venture outwards but only when I invoked the agent of the pact did, he find out that they seem to be working with the purifiers somehow allowing them to leave and occupy more than Highfield. As we had similar goals, we decided to not trust him but align ourselves with him he asked us to go to Highfield to speak with a lady at a market Tavern he said he did not know her name, but she was dwarvish. She apparently had been working with him keeping an eye on the goings on of Highfield. He had many eyes there but one by one they have all gone quiet and he is worried she might be in danger. he told us to go to the Tavern and ask I have forgotten my tinderbox can you light my pipe to someone we thought might be her if it were her, she would respond that she found magic would be easier to which we should respond unless you forget the hand movements. While we were there investigating, he also wanted us to deal some damage and find out what happened to his minions. When I asked him about other mortal swords before the ones that we most recently new that defeated Ontar he said that there were four of them, the burning verdict, the final impact, the arcane desecration, and himself. he aided us in giving us some type of glass like disk that he called contact lenses to hide our aasimar eye coloring since we were going right into the Lions den. he also gave us three feathers that when we hold one and say Leo it will become a bird that will take a message to him. He and I both were able to remove the lycanthropy curse on Tacitus, so we were spent so we asked if we could in the evening once we slept for the day.

The root of delirium agreed an in the evening teleported us near Highfield. We went directly to the Tavern and found the dwarvish woman melody she said she was not in trouble and didn't know that there were other people with the same employer in town, but she did tell us that there were strange break Inns rumors about strange creatures and that the Miller had been acting a little weird lately whatever that meant. She suggested that we go talk to a couple of workers at the stables that she said were gossips, we decided we would go in the morning.
