Novia, you would kill me if I didn't explain what happened while we were gone. Long story short, we talked around a crowd in glacier's rest... I think I am a popular person there now, and then lowkey blew up a crystal infested wizard tower. Now that I got your attention thinking "Eligius, why would you blow something up, or what do you mean by popular?" Well prepare to have yet another heart attack and sigh in disappointment or something, because this is how it went...
SO, I started out with that damn orange crystal in the graveyard, and blah la blah, we went to Glacier's rest by somehow calculating an estimate of where it went. We reached the damn town and everything, and guess what, no leads other than some wizard tower and edgy looking mage robes. We talked around the town, and after searching the red light district, the taverns, and city hall, we found the possible wizard is some Aela chick. I may or may not have pissed off a grumpy wizard, but no big deal. He had it coming if I'm being honest. Oh yeah, I got admission to this Magical Caster's Association, I got these nifty stamps, pins and everything. TO hells with the magical uptightness!
On our adventures walking northward like a merry band of misfits, we did things, talked about stuff, and oh yeah, found this incredible wizard tower made of marble and coral! On the way there however, it would have seemed the goddess herself, your goddess I mean the kitsune one tried talking to me, turns out my beads around my neck are made of meteor that predates my great grandfather Xol'gur Manto, magic enhancement stuff you know? All it took was one mental breakdown and a crisis of faith, no biggie.
So, then we finally got to the tower with this wizard we picked up, Hydra. I think she has it on for me due to how wet I end up getting, she blasts me with so many damn spells and all. Anyways, we decided finding this tower, that the inside had this gigantic orange crystal inside like the graveyard's. We thought about you, and grabbed every book that wasn't nailed down, you can thank me later. We fought elementals and looted some silverware, set explosive barrels and gunpowder along the ground on several floors. Eventually, we made it to the top floor, to find this gigantic elemental of corrupted Aether controlling the major part of the crystal on the top floor while the other half of the party was fighting the wizard it seems. By sheer miracle we killed the thing, and during the fight it seems the roof of the tower blew off. I nearly died, so you can weep in my wounding when I show you this entry since you won't leave me alone for these things. So, in the end... we had the means to take out the tower, and blew it up after the crystals were drained, and what seems to be Aela was spared and has... a split personality I guess? I don't know, I'm not overthinking this...
