Entry 41: Underground Village

Vanm 25, 861
 
Today was a tiring day. But it was fun! We discovered a secret village underground and after sneaking in, had everyone enter. Inside, we met a sage who we made a deal for support in the goblin war. Everything went well for a while. We got a room and I drank a little with Kazek and Kuko. In retrospect, I think I'm becoming a lightweight.
 
Anyway, sometime later, Kuko, Kazek and Banny were attacked by people called the emissaries. After conversing with Kuko, I learned that they had come from Aurora and bore the sigil of the Hydra, which is odd, to say the least. She should've taken care of that. Kuko had become suspicious of me after and I screwed up. The sage trained Kuko, Jun Wei and Banny while I talked to Kirill and Kazek after.
 
A few hours even later, we packed up and I borrowed Kuko's camera. It was a pretty piece of technology, but I couldn't help but notice his reaction to my hug.
Anyway, I've decided to make a blog now, using the photos.
 
Of course, our short stay wasn't so fun. For some reason, when sparring with the sage, Banny turned into some sort of abomination, summoning multiple societal-offscourings with him. I couldn't help but feel these could one day be useful if kept in the soul pouch but their souls weren't recoverable.
 
In the end, we left the crumbling cave, off to Marathi Village in pursuit of a specific crystal. Perhaps I can learn something about her there.
