Siege of Eal - Search and Rescue
“Hi I’m Himo. I’ve been asked to relay the events that took place a couple days ago. I understand usually Fillias does this but he is in and out of consciousness.
So where to begin? I witnessed the party of!
Fillias and Sparky, gnome and construct, inventor and loyal friend.
Estuary the Earth Genasi Slightly Angry Fighter.
Kheius the Centaur the Druidic Cleric
Shadow the quite special human, a Druid like me!
Daoist a strange person, a crossbow expert with a devilish secret?
Bjort an odd Dwarf, a Cleric and Inventor
Lastly Sol, hidden from my view but their skill became apparent after some time.
Appear in the middle of the courtyard, surrounded by zombies I surely thought they would perish, the centaur however lifted their arms and said, I think this is right, ‘Ooga Boogah!’ And they all turned to dust!
I saw them enter the library, they told me they faced a rather obnoxious but powerful wizard who stopped time! Along with his two barbaric guards, but they defeated them! Only just I think, Estuary got knocked down being a frontline warrior and Sol confronted the Wizard face to face! Bjort failed to destroy the magical orb but bought time for them to force the wizard to flee and escape with the students.
When they came out they quickly healed then came into the schoolhouse to where I was, I then saw them properly. An odd bunch to be sure but quickly proved strong teamwork and dispatched the monsters I spent all my strength holding back. They rescued me and the students I was protecting. Back in the courtyard I saw Fillias, Sparky and some constructs finishing off a number of undead. I was impressed.
The group opened the last building before moving into the large main hall. As Estuary opened the Mess Hall doors he caught something odd as it flew back! The largest weasel I have ever seen! 4 zombie Ogres wandered into the courtyard. It was a short fight, Estuary in a flurry of slashes killed one of the ogres, myself and Shadow overlaid moonbeams into Super Moonbeam! And annihilated another! Daoist shot a scaringly accurate bolt and killed the third and the last was killed by the weasel! Manifesting two daggers from thin air he stabbed it once and fell. Bjort nodded in acknowledgment and the weasel ran off.
I was bid to stay behind and help guard the students, the others told me they fought a zombie beholder. After some time and a tough match Bjort used some type of forbidden artefact to quell the monster and they ran with the last of the students.
Meanwhile we were overrun, I had little strength left and a large Zombie knight took Fillias by surprise and took off his hand. Sparky let out a deep bellow and blasted it into a wall and through the next.
I healed what I could but I felt traces of a curse. I’ve yet to mention it without confirmation but the trees confirmed my fears. But I digress.
The party burst back through the doors and the stout centaur Kheius launched himself into the horde, becoming overwhelmed all I could hear was a muffled ‘ooga boogah!’ And they all perished into dust.
I was asked to try and get everyone out, I spoke to a tree who said could take us all to a meadow I visited many years ago. Roughly 3km from their Guild.
As we left another horde bared down, however Bjort jumped in front and called ‘OOGA BOOGAH!’ And they all perished again.
We escaped with our lives, what students were left. Our only casualty was Fillias, possibly cursed? The gnome saved me multiple times while the party fought the beholder, even offered a place to stay and a job while I search for what I seek!
I will endeavour to aid the Guild until this debt is repaid.
Himo Liadon, Druid Of The Lost Northern Circle.”
