Notes and Crap (entry twenty-one)

by Eligius Yami

Okay Novia... the more I go on, the more I'm thinking maybe my methods... those of the people whom I accompany... it's getting pretty violent and inexcusable... nothing to be proud of, nor write home to.

To give context, after the trials and having a walk of the town gathering information on the threat. I consulted the town barracks, while the others consulted the orator for background information. Based on what we found, the Gerudo have been in a war of attrition for two and a half decades, their warriors being thinned with each passing attack. For the barracks, those that did have information were out fighting on the front lines, only for the wounded and inexperienced to be left behind. The town was showing to be thinning in terms of food and other goods as well; it was only a matter of time before things became truly dire for hunger.

After sharing our findings, we heard from Azaerlea she went into the Ethereal and went all the way across the seas to investigate the goblin base, and where their fleet is. The main base is underwater, and if her spying was to be trusted fully, that the goblins are not 100% on board with their leader, with mutiny on the mind. Her hunch was right however, on our way out to sea, we found a goblin metal ship on the run from the rest of the fleet, being fired upon as they made way to land. We decided it was in our best interest to help them out, so we boarded their ship and helped fended off the goblins. The fending off however... was scarring.

To give context, I attempted my very best to minimize lives lost. I used air-based spells to knock air flying goblins over the side, and used geomancy to crush the metal of a giant "Widow Walker" around the legs and weapons. It was effective, as was Radegast's shooting the core, Solomon's bombs, Gothmog's chopping up the legs, and Kosuke's heat wave spell. That... eliminated the goblins on the ship, but fried them alive in that metal walker... it was... not a pleasant sight to see... nor was what Zahira did to a nearby submarine. You know the spell cloudkill? The poisonous cloud that doesn't even need you to breathe in to kill? Zahira unleashed that into the submarine attacking us. The results similar to the heat wave... except a far more gruesome fate awaited the goblins. In the end, we did rescue the friendly goblins. They defected with one book, a "Cook book": a book of history, recipes and blueprints of machinery they used. Radegast tells me they kitbashed technology from Volcanor, made it somehow work without "Elemental Crystals", and instead powered it with the crystals from the Graveyard. This indeed confirms their usage of being empowered by the graveyard...

Next we have to interrogate the evil goblins we spared and captured, and kindly ask the defector goblins what the situation of their base is all about...

No funny quip this time Novia, this mission's starting to weigh heavily on my mind, as well as a few others. I had to talk to Kosuke about usage of spells in killing... he took it about as lightly as I did with my first kill a mere few months ago... This is the entry, nothing else.
