1359 DR 22 Alturiak - The city of Tyraturos became swarmed with undead originating from the Necropolis. The investigation led to a Necromancer raising an army in the lower section of the crypt, eventually having his own life taken by a group of adventurers.

1359 DR 16 Ches - Tharchion Dimon had the legion make a push to clear the roads leading out of Tyraturos of bandits and other troubles, to help with merchants and commerce.  A group of mercenaries, led by a Tyraturos Sergeant, cleared the road heading to Amruthar.  They came across one of the halfling Briarwood Brothers, who turned out to be a shifter, and fled from the group.  They wiped out a good number of the Briarwood Brothers' marauders, as well as a good number of the Black Fang gnoll pack and their canine forces.  During the trip, the group also heard a wolf howl in the distance upon occasion, but it was unclear if they came across the wolf doing the howling. Asp paid the group an additional bounty for bringing in a captured sub-chief (beta) of the Black Fang. alive.  The group discovered that the gnolls have a leader they call Alpha, and that the Briarwood Brothers tended to hang out near the Abandoned Mines north of Bezantur recently.  The group was rewarded with some coin pooled together from the Tharch and the Temple of Waukeen.  The next step would be coordinating with the Priador Legion and seeing if they would be willing to investigate the Briarwood Brothers.  The group included Sergeant Steelscar (Tyraturos), Sergeant Iron Fang (Priador), Blaze (Flaming Brazier), Ariadne (Citadel of Stratagem) and Shevanna (of Gauros).

1359 DR 25 Tarsakh - A group of four (Captain Nulara of the Lancers, Iron Throne members Zorris and Hawke, and Faerlyn of House Torvirr) helped fulfill a subcontract for the Iron Throne for spores and myconid pieces, and also make travel a little safer in the tunnels by, at least for the short term, wiping out a colony of myconids, who seemed riled up as if their territory had previously been intruded upon.  A group of slaves helped carry the pieces out and back to civilization.

1359 DR 5 Mirtul - Suspicious activity around Dillomat's Tower in Tyraturos by the Cult of Ibrandul was investigated by Tribune Aethon Tane, the elves Aruil'rah'ri Duin'eplith and Lylia, the drow Chakos Mizzrym, Autharch Mardikan, wanderer Taygra Tigerfist and the slave Delia. The cult was driven from the tower.

1359 DR 9 Mirtul - A group of adventurers were tasked with finding and returning as many gems as they could find for Daeroness Nymia Focar, Autharch of Pyarados. The reason behind this assignment is unknown. The group took out several members of the Cult of Imbrandul and their creations.

1359 DR 14 Mirtul - A Red Wizard was escorted to the Eltabbar Sepulcher for secretive information using the Mysterious Tome. The tome's contents led the group to an abandoned home a few leagues away from Nethentir. After the disposal of a few apparitions, the Red Wizard finally claimed what he was looking for. What exactly all the items were and what their purpose was for, no one seems to know. The group who helped this nameless Red Wizard were: Tribune Aethon Tane, Delia the Slave, Tribune Mardikan, and Meriamble Nimblefoot.

1359 DR 28 Kythorn - Tharchion Valerios Theokillos sponsored a joust competition in his home city of Pyarados.  Foul weather threatened the activities but a Red Wizard of the Griffon Legion turned it aside for a time.  After the competition was done, Gavros Mediocros reported the Cult of Ibrandul activity again in Shar's Pass to his uncle Valerios.  The Tharchion dispatched Autharch Mardikan of The Priador, Tribune Aethon Tane of High Thay, Darnell Reese of the House of the Hand, wanderer Taygra Tigerfist and the slaves Delia and Honoria Reynn to investigate.  Again the Cult was put down and evidence was found tying this cell of the cult to the one that invaded Dillomat's Tower.

1359 DR 13 Flamerule - Gavros Mediocros, nephew of Tharchion Valerios Theokillos, leads an expedition to the headwaters of the Surag River and eradicates a cell of the Cult of Ibrandul.  The following mercenaries assisted in this mission:  Red Wizard Agosto, Autharch Mardikan, wanderer Taygra Tigerfist, the hin Bungo Hornblower and the slaves Honoria Reynn and Delia.

1359 DR 1 Eleasias - Drow legion patrols outside the segment of Jenn'Yxir have encountered the Cult of Ibrandul performing rituals to their strange god and disrupting trade.  While the immediate threat to the segment was put down by the efforts of Sergeant Zynkarlla Kel'torturzka and duergar Ironhead Bloodbeard, evidence was found of a much larger grouping deeper in the Underdark.

1359 DR 13 Eleasias - The duergar Korgan and tiefling Arvir raided a building that was being occupied by the Cult of Ibrandul outside the walls of Pyarados.  They found the cultists had been slain already, and rescued two hostages who turned out to be from Nethjet. Apparently, while gathering things from Nethjet's extensive network of tombs (blink dog blood, darkness demon teeth, essence of wraith) one of the cultists found and ate some strange looking orange and green mushrooms.  Upon returning to Pyarados, the cultist apparently was transformed, or used as a vessel, for the fabled Pumpkin King to be reborn, and upon his return he slew the cultists and escaped down into the sewers.  While apparently the Pumpkin King left to head to Nethjet, he left behind some oozing pumpkin guts, shambling pumpkins, and a pumpkin prince in the sewers, which were eliminated.  Nethjet beware!

1359 DR 1 Eleint - A group, consisting of Blaze Thorrson (faithful of Kossuth), Ariadne Imholas (Temple of Strategem), Korgan Stonesack (Iron Throne), Lyla Davis (faithful of Torm), Arvir Andmong, and Argali (concerned Thayan citizen), answered the call from Nethjet and entered the barrows, defeating the Pumpkin King (for now).

1359 DR 18 Eleint - Following the disappearance of Thazar Keep, the rogue Red Wizard known as the Masked One is labeled an enemy of Thay and to be attacked on sight. Also, the worship of Ibrandul is punishable by slavery for the first offense and death in the second.

1359 DR 11 Marpenoth - While patrolling the now vacant Thazar Pass, the Pyarados legion known as Shar's Kiss is destroyed by invading Tuigan  Organized by the powerful and charismatic Yamun Khahan, they have turned their sights on conquering Thay.  Only the hin Nyxtana Sparklegem, the handsome Dustin Nulent, the mysterious tiefling Arvir Andmong, the seductive tiefling Sahiri Xorveth, the grouse duergar Korgan Stonesack, the drow zealot Zyn'karlla Kel'torturzka and the elven archer Ferra De Vanna survived the attack.  The marks the beginning of the Horde campaign.

1359 DR 23 Marpenoth - Sabass of Thay (a powerful Researcher Red Wizard) met with the priest of Kossuth Blaze and the slave Delia. Delia gave Sabass a summoning stone the cult of Ibrandul had used. Sabass was able to use a Divining Pool in which he and Blaze located an intact Thazar Keep "somewhere" in the Underdark. They parted, with Sabass saying that he will be researching how to bring it back to the surface.

1359 DR 28 Marpenoth - While dealing some minotaurs and other Underdark denizens that had been under the control of mind flayers who followed a yet to be found mind flayer lich named Alkazarka, a group (Yathrin Quarra Det'tar, Malus Ironhand, Dustin Nulent, and Nyxtana Sparklegem) discovered that Thazar Keep had been moved to the Underdark, near the Jenn'Yxir segment.

1359 DR 4 Uktar - Alongside Cavalry and infantry legions from Pyarados with the aid of summoned fire and earth elementals a group of adventurer's drove back the Tuigan Horselords. After a fearsome and bloody fight did they succeed in making the Horde retreat, with just their commander and only 100 men of his 5000 strong force. Tribune Aethon Tane led the band of Taygra Tigerfist, Dustin Nulent, Ferra De Vanna, Arvir Andmong and Delia to this small victory. With the words from the commander that they will be back.

1359 DR 18 Uktar - General Batu Min Ho of the Tuigan horde leads another force of 5000 men into the pass where Thazar Keep once stood. Pyarados counters by assigning 10000 gnoll foot soldiers, Red Wizard Griffon Legion and assorted skilled mercenaries under the command of Tribune Gavros Mediocros. Outnumbering the barbarians 2 to 1 victory was assured until they realized they were drawn into a trap and slain by archers high on the valley walls. In what is later to be called the Illustrious Battle(to the Tuigan) or the Battle of the Griffon Legion(to the Thayans), Thay suffers a massive defeat that sees the Red Wizard Griffon Legion and most of the legion strength of Pyarados destroyed. Among the survivors were Tribune Aethon Tane, Autharch Mardikan, wanderer Taygra Tigerfist, wizard Shevarra Ryernina, duergar Korgan Stonesack, hin Bungo Hornblower and the slaves Honoria Reynn and Delia. Tribune Gavros Mediocros, nephew of Pyarados Tharchion Valerios Theokillos, is slain in battle.

1359 DR 1 Nightal - Some merchants of Pyarados arranged to hire some mercenaries to help take care of some Tuigan scouting/raiding parties to help keep trade flowing until the full force of the Thay could be brought to bear upon the invading horde.  The group included Dustin, Ysolde Helgisdotter, Ariadne Imthalos and Laele Det'tar.

1359 DR 6 Nightal - The battle of Thazar Keep began and ended in a matter of hours. The amount of Drider corpses that laid inside and out the walls resembled almost a month's worth of combat. Undrek'Thoz is unkind to everyone. But with the help of Tribune Aethon Tane, Korgan Stonesack, Malus Ironhand, Nyxtana Sparklegem, Thangardt Bloodbeard, and Faerlyn Torvirr and her soldiers, Thazar Keep continues to survive the dark depths below ground. The surviving legionnaires are tended to by the priest and priestess of Selune, though their numbers are running thin...

1359 DR 12 Nightal - Under the leadership of Zulkir Szass Tam, a unified Thayan army descends upon Shar's Pass to confront the Tuigan horde.  Instead of warfare, the Zulkir meets with Yamun Khahan and manages to convince him to take his horde northward and attack Rashemen instead.  In exchange, Thay offers the services of four Red Wizards, Tribune Aethon Tane of High Thay, Autharch Mardikan of the Priador and former Gladiatores Magnus Honoria Reynn.  Witnessing this parlay were Korgan Stonesack, Amelia Kalin and the slave Delia.

1359 DR 13 Nightal - Following his demotion from Tharchion of Pyarados, Valerios Theokillos has been spotted touring Thay and rewarding those who served the Tharch against the Tuigan horde.

1359 DR 21 Nightal - Sabass of Thay met with Omniscience Blaze Thornson, the slave Delia, Korgan Stonesack, and Lyla Devis to discuss the plan to return Thazar Keep. A list of components were given, with a few needing to still be collected.

She and those she traveled with (Nerilynn, Viktor Gravenson, and Tarissa's familiar Kernal the Quasit) ran into some dretches, manes and tieflings along the way.  More importantly, they discovered a small open gateway to the Abyss, through which the lesser demons were traveling.  It was unclear who had opened it. They managed to close it before anything more powerful came through... or did they?

1360 DR 19 Alturiak - The Iron Lord of Rashemen Hyarmon Hussilthar led his forces against Tharchioness Azhir Kren of Gauros north of the village of Black Rock.  The Thayan army successfully repelled the attack, but it is rumored that the Iron Lord and his trusted advisor skirted around the battle and entered Thay itself for unknown reasons!  Present at the battle were:  Amelia Kalin, Thangar Bloodbeard, Alex HIndura, Unkdaz, Night Hawke, Victoria Nefzen, Raelin Duskshadow, Korgan Stonesack and Aligonda Fyreheart.

She was protected sufficiently from undead, and waves of demons, including a vrock, so she could perform a ritual to read from a powerful tome there, to obtain information connected to the runestone pieces and the powerful demonic influence behind the portals. They then safely escorted her back inside Eltabbar, where she and Master Edwin now work to decipher the mystery.

1360 DR 12 Ches - After destroying Citadel Rashemar and piercing the heart of Rashemen, the Tuigan Horde makes camp upon the shores of Lake Ashane.

Zulkir Szass Tam’s Legion of Cyric is unable to get much further than the Gorge of Gauros due to freezing weather to support the invasion. The Iron Lord Hyarmon Hussilthar was unable to broker a deal with a Bheur within the border of Thay to extend the blizzard into the Tharch of Gauros, potentially turning the tide of war. The following Thayan negotiators were able to align the Bheur with the Tharch of Gauros instead: Red Wizard Agosto, Thayan Knight Agosto, Korgan Stonesack, Raelin Duskshadow, Thangardt Bloodbeard, Amelia Kalin, Zorris Maledos, Victoria Nefzen, Yhiiirkon T'orgha and Sasha.

1360 DR 14 Ches - An adventurer came to Tyraturos, telling tales of great deeds and valour against many demons.

1360 DR 6 Tarsakh - Nature itself seemed to turn against the Legion of Gauros as the invaders were forced to withdraw from the Rashemen village of Blackrock.

1360 DR 7 Tarsakh - Ol' Jed stood by his word and took the adventurers Unkdaz the fish wielding goblin and Night Hawke of the Iron Throne deep into Dilomat's Tower and onto the Warrior's Rest. His instructions were to find the portal out once they reached the plane.

The adventurers are to wait for word from Ol' Jed again.

1360 DR 27 Tarsakh - High Priest Dhimar of the Temple of Myrkul hires a band of mercenaries to journey to Umratharos to investigate the true origins of the Crown of Horns.

1360 DR 2 Mirtul - Apprentice Tarissa Rift had a group escort her and Kernal the Quasit to the Tower of Sabass in Thay.  They fought off a demon and ettin attack on the way, and after delivering the apprentice, delved into the crypts to follow up on rumors of a powerful sword against demons.  They fought off demons and undead, and found two blades that did have some magic to them, but neither the Blessed Blade nor Bishop Greatsword were not on the level of a relic.  The apprentice thanked them for their efforts and said further work would be upcoming in the Underdark, as well as to deal with the Blood Drinkers, pirate cannibals pledged to Demogorgon. The group consisted of Laele Det'tar, Unkdaz the fish-wielding goblin, Sergeant Viktor Gravenson of the Griffon Legion, Kothan Ikor, Alex Hindura, Sasha, Thangardt Bloodbeard, Nell, and Aviel Darkblood.

1360 DR 5 Mirtul - A commotion in Central Tyraturos caused Aleczia Al-Kithyarii, Kothan Ikar, Lavidiet Ianus and Sasha to investigate the matter.

The bars of steel, iron and mithril were eventually returned from the Abandoned Mine and were rewarded with a custom-made item from Steeleye.

1360 DR 7 Mirtul - A group of Iron Throne members (Zorris Maledos, Night Hawke, Korgan Stonesack) took care of a safe house for the remainder of those behind the attack on their caravan in the past, and foiled a plan to use trained magically enlarged griffons to drop explosive siege ammunition on a couple of targets in Thay, including the Iron Throne guild hall.  If the stories are to be believed, a large explosion in the sky along the road between Amruthar and Tyraturos was the result of a bow shot to the payload of one of the griffons in flight, rather than some arcane experiment.  The three were each awarded with the Runestone of Distinction guild award for their service to the Iron Throne.

1360 DR 14 Mirtul - A message was sent out to available adventurers to rid some "evil beings". The group that gathered to meet this mysterious person were: Fenian Lanae, Grax Crackedfangs, Morghun Dellend, Sergeant Viktor Gravenson, Ylyete Arner, and Zolis Halav. The messenger was but a boy, named Tomar, who was seeking revenge on all lycans for the death of his mother. He, along with the group of adventurers, travelled near the cliffs of the First Escarpment where reports of a group of lycans were spotted, and struck down all that were there.

1360 DR 25 Mirtul - Apprentice Tarissa Rift helped arrange for a group to wipe out some Blood Drinker pirates and demons.  The group included Laele Det'tar, Alex Hindura, Kothan Ikar, Hara Willenthendt, Nell, Zolis Halav, Aviel Darkblood, Thangardt Bloodbeard and Raelin Darkshadow.  The group found evidence at a shipwreck that the Blood Drinkers had been learning about demon summoning, and had apparently worked out how to summon a glabrezu.  They were still exploring how to summon a balor, and something else.  The group also found a painting (in blood) or what appeared to be Apprentice Rift on her previous trip to Eltabbar with those who escorted her also drawn.

1360 DR 23 Kythorn - High Priest Dhimar of Myrkul once again hires mercenaries to investigate the true origin of the Crown of Horns. This time the mercenaries explore the ancient Sarrukh ruins buried beneath Umratharos and uncover many unsettling secrets about this Creator Race.

1360 DR 10 Flamerule - An extremely large Treant and its Pixie accomplice travelled to the outskirts of Pyarados looking for help with something affecting the Forested Valley. The group that gathered to meet them were: Alandar Greystag, Aviel Darkblood, Grax Crackedfangs, Marozia Corruptrix, Morghun Dellend, Thangardt Bloodbeard, Tozz, Ylyete Arner, and Apprentice Zolis Halav. Entering the forest the group was assaulted by feral animals. Deeper in the forest laid a curst sword, penetrating the ground. With the removal of the sword the forest slowly began to recover to its lush, green color.

1360 DR 18 Flamerule - An unconscious woman was found near Lake Umber and taken into the House of the Great Mother. Priestess Chana sent word for assistance, with Alex Hindura, Amelia Kalin, Hara Willenthendt, Nyx, Victoria Nefzen, and Viktor Gravenson answering the call. The woman was the travelling tarot card reader Ruby Perscnival, and it was surmised that she had been poisoned and embodied by something evil. Using the liquid from the Dreaming Pool from a previous excursion, the group was able to enter the mind of Ruby and experience her previous travels and encounters around Toril, while being ambushed by vampire spawns along the way. Upon reaching a room of numerous bookshelves of knowledge they found Maas, a half drow half vampire in search for the whereabouts of a weapon called The Blade that was locked inside Ruby's mind.

Both groups received some aid (zombie lords sent by Orcus, and hezrou sent by Graz'zt).  Apprentice Rift told both groups she wanted to provide something special to them at a future date to thank them for their efforts.  However, after Apprentice Rift said this to the second group, she was whisked off to the Trials.  Whether she will be seen again is unknown at this time....

With three clues on hand, the group deduced each of their locations and uncovered an item for each clue: A trident submerged in the Murbant Sea Caves, a robe in the Kepetur Prayer Tower Ruins, and a feathered hat in Umratharos' Watering Hole tavern. The group then travelled to the Smoking Keep dungeons, where the map led them to find the treasure, and they stumbled upon a man in a jail cell. Langley Ruffles, a mischievous and (questionably) personable pirate who revealed the entire treasure hunt was his master plan as a means for others to gather his belongings and break him out of jail. In exchange for his freedom (thanks to Red Wizard Uras'Thule and Tharchion Willeth Lionson) he offered his buried treasure, which he eventually led the group to in the southern Alaor Isle. Returning to Tortuga to inform the queen, Langley's arrival with the group displeased her and her husband greatly, having known each other for years and clearly did not part ways on good terms. The queen refused her share of the treasure, not wanting any connection to Langley, and Langley eventually parted ways with the queen and the group.

There were not the signs of broken branches along this route, as there were along the previous route. The group consisted of Captain Ezekiel Williams of Tyraturos, Thayan Knight Viktor Gravenson, Bishop Ariadne Imthalos faithful of the Red Knight, Priestess Erica Ashby of the Eltabbar Temple of Loviatar (and her slave Keerla), Kyesha Jorn of the Temple of Lloth (Bezantur branch), and Unkdaz the fish-wielding goblin. Ghordon is at the temple awaiting a ceremony to change his luck.

1361 DR 26 Uktar - While Ghordon Farmer had his family's curse of misfortune removed by the Temple of Tymora, they could not fix his natural state of being clumsy, and he tripped and stumbled into a portal. A group followed to an Uncharted Island, and successfully returned him after defeating a young sea dragon, and other denizens of the island. The group included Captain Ezekiel Williams of Tyraturos, Thayan Knight Viktor Gravenson, Yathmalla Quarra Det'tar of the Temple of Lloth in Undrek'Thoz, Priestess Erica Ashby of the Eltabbar Temple of Loviatar (and her slave Keerla), Kyesha Jorn of the Temple of Lloth (Bezantur branch), and Calkin Wildwood.

They fended off bandits, fire beetles, Ibrandin dragons and gnolls on the way there. The wagons were safely seen to the White Sails Shipping warehouse for distribution, other than a wagon with Legion supplies which was delivered on the way. The group did find a were rat corpse, nibbled on by beetles, that was branded with some markings indicating the rat had been prey in a Malarite hunt.

1362 DR 7 Hammer - Tomar, a young boy from Amruthar, hired some adventurers to help exact revenge on lycans due to the death of his mother from a werebear. The group and boy travelled first to Pyarados to clear out two lycan hideouts in both the east and western district, then to Eltabbar to clear one in the southwest district. Searching through Eltabbar's hideout the group found a note leading to a probable base for these lycans in Bezantur. Upon arrival of this base the group found a man lynched, who unfortunately was Tomar's father, a Lapendrar legionnaire. Pinned to his hanging body was a note that said: "The boy is next". To put him to rest, it was decided to bring the body to the Flaming Brazier where he was cremated. The group that witnessed this were: Erica Ashby, Bael'vanrae, Victoria Nefzen, Geliaz Spites, Keerla Thiend, and Ezekiel Williams.

1362 DR 28 Hammer - A group of mercenaries helped the Trapper Kamrik collect the order of 50 live animals for his employer. The group aiding the Malar follower were - Unkdaz, the fish wielding goblin, Taygra Tigerfist, Knight Viktor Gravenson and Priestess Erica Ashby and her slave Keerla Thiend. Due to the recent events of other trappings in the forested valley, the animals and fey were angry and attacked the group on sight.

1362 DR 16 Alturiak - Red Wizard Tarissa Rift of Conjuration (and her quasit Kernal) hosted an arena games event in Eltabbar. Matches included an owl bear, donated by Omnipotence Gombdalla, against a darkenbeast that was captured in the wild (darkenbeast victorious), a large gnoll named Rorza, apparently part of Zulkir Maligor's gnoll troops, against a hezrou demon (Rorza victorious), and a wandering gnoll monk against a glabrezu (gnoll victorious). There were also participants from the audience, with Castellan Aethon Tane, Knight Viktor Gravenson, and Captain Ezekiel Williams all victorious. Others in attendance were Zulkir of Transmuation Maligor, his apprentice Jutta, Omnipotence Edwin Odesseiron of Conjuration, the Tharchioness of Eltabbar, Red Wizard Sadyrra Zydom of Transmutation, and Apprentice Corwin Ghenzyi of Necromancy. Still others included Omnipotence Enzo Agosot and his Knight Jalena Agosto, Omnipotence Uras'Thule, Yathmalla Quarra Det'tar, Whipmistress Erica Ashby and her slave Keerla, and Yvonnel of House Naerth. Omnipotence Rift mentioned she wished to speak to Laele, who was not in attendance, and asked for such a message to be passed along should anyone run into Laele. Apprentice Ghenzyi indicated he may have some work for hire coming up involving clearing a tower, or at least retrieving something from it.

1362 DR 12 Alturiak through 18 Alturiak - Rumors about that several temples in Bezantur have had strange occurrences over the course of a week's time. Lliira's temple discovered wine had been turned to or replaced with blood at a festival, several revelers at a Sharessian festival reported become violently ill after wining and dining, and Ilmater and Tyr's temples both reported discovering mummy wrappings mixed in with bandages. Rumor has it that Sune's temple discovered some perfumes and makeup resulted in rashes, but anyone affected as such chose not to make any public appearances until recovered. Other temples have been silent or denied any such things taking place within their temples. It is unclear if this is some general misfortune and streak of ill luck, or a series of pranks or some plot against temples.

1362 DR 3 Ches - Master Sergeant Martin of the Priador Legion called a meeting to help uncover the mystery of an unusual voice along the Alamber Coast just east of Bezantur. Those who answered the call (Aeweniel, Omnipotence Balthazar, Erica Ashby, Ezekiel Williams, Geliaz Spites, Keerla Thiend, Overseer Mardikan, Taygra Tigerfist, Yvonnel Naerth, Zant, and Omnipotence Uras'Thule) walked along the coast and eventually spotted a skull, a talking skull in fact. After notifying the Master Sergeant of the "culprit", the group attempted to find out more about this talkative skull, gaining information of its curse and murder that left it in its current state. Spouting its desire for fresh bones, the group (now with less adventurers than it started with) decided to accept its request and hunt for skeletal body parts in the Bezantur crypt. With all the necessary components to replicate a humanoid skeleton for the skull, the group made their way north to a place that specializes in the undead, Long Portage. There, High Priestess Servila Tam and the master of Long Portage, Omnipotence Kammnos Tam, would reassemble the skull with the new-found body parts, finally allowing the skull to move freely. However, upon trying to remove the full effects of the curse, an apparent rune placed on the skull would block any curse removal, keeping the skull as a skeleton until whoever placed said curse is killed. The skeleton, who now remembers his name as Richard Brake, would stay in Long Portage to help the Tam family as he tries to recall who placed the curse on him.

1362 DR 7 Ches - Apprentice Corwin Ghenzyi hired a group to recover a staff, and two books (magical theory and illithid information) from an abandoned tower on the Southern Alaor Isle that at one point belonged to the necromancer Zhengyi, before being claimed by Master Tazal Thaingard of Conjuration. During Thaingard's occupation, there was some mysterious event that resulted in explosion, fire and planar creatures inhabiting the tower. The group consisted of Omnipotence Uras'Thule, Knight Viktor Gravenson, Captain Ezekiel Williams, Whipmistress Erica Ashby and her slave Keerla, Meri Nimblefoot, Calkin Wildwood and the drow Yvonnel Naerth. On the trip back, a fox accompanied Calkin into the naval base for a time.

1362 DR 27 Ches - The Iron Throne hired some extra guards for a shipment to Amruthar and its Outskirts, given the recent increases in patrols along the road. The group consisted of the Iron Throne's Night Hawke, Whipmistress Erica Ashby from the Eltabbar Temple of Loviatar and her slave Keerla, Unkdaz the fish-wielding goblin, and Aeweniel. The group dealt with a couple of Zhent riders, some darkenbeasts, and other assorted bandits and troubles along the road. During the trip, the group at times felt as though they were being watched. The deliveries were made successfully. The last delivery included shipments of arms and armor to the tower in the Amruthar Outskirts, which were received by Apprentice Jutta, after she finished taking in some more captured gnolls from a slaver. The group saw Mudwort about, watching and then helping unload the goods. They also saw the gnoll Rorza who had fought in the arena the previous month. Unkdaz engaged in some conversation in goblin with Rorza briefly.

1362 DR 18 Tarsakh - A gathering was held by Tomar, the young Amruthar boy whose mother was slain by a werebear, to locate and rid of a shapechanger that has been targeting the child for months. After his initial findings through a scout mission with Griffon Rider Victoria Nefzen, they led the assembled group to a once-caved-in grotto in the Ruins of Surag where the shapechanger, named Jerik, and his accomplices were spotted. Once inside the group fought numerous lycans and eventually came face to face with Jerik, an enormous wereboar, and his strongest allies. While Jerik was eventually slain, the roaring battle made the cavern unstable as the ceiling began to cave in on itself, requiring the group to flee back outside just in time before its eventual collapse. With now no reason to look over his shoulder, Tomar left the group to begin his own journey to create a lycan hunting guild, vowing to rid any he finds so no one will have to experience the death that his mother went through. Those that helped Tomar through this were: Bael'vanrae, Calelruril Moonshadow, Erica Ashby, Ezekiel Williams, Geliaz Spites, Keerla Thiend, Victoria Nefzen, and Viktor Gravenson.

1362 DR 25 Tarsakh - A group was hired by Apprentice Jutta to investigate a missing delivery of gnolls coming from Nethwatch Keep to Maligor's Tower outside of Amruthar.  The group consisted of Castellan Aethon Tane of High Thay, Captain Ezekiel Williams of Tyraturos, Unkdaz the fish-wielding goblin, and Yvonne Naerth of Undrek'Thoz.  The group saw some of the gnolls, including Rorza and Mudwort, outside upon their arrival.  Before the group departed, Apprentice Jutta asked Captain Williams about the incident involving the ghouls, and indicated that her Master is always pleased to learn of any potential threats, like the underground crypt a few leagues away, that might impact his Tower and Thay.  The group found the carts that had been carrying the gnolls abandoned along the road.  They eventually came across the former captives, scattered across a couple of leagues, along with some wild gnolls who apparently had helped them escape.  The group found the remains of the drivers as well.  Around 20 to 30 gnolls were rounded up and hauled back to be turned over.

1362 DR 23 Mirtul - While waiting outside the tower on the Outskirts of Amruthar, the group saw Rehno Thane (apprentice to Zulkir Tam) pass by, indicating he was on a task under the orders of Zulkir Tam.
The group was hired by Apprentice Jutta on her Master's (Zulkir Maligor) behalf, to clear out the previously discovered buried crypts (that once housed ghouls) off the road a little between Amruthar and Nethwatch Keep  of anything that may have taken up residence since then.  Apprentice Jutta also mentioned that an Apprentice Zeon was looking to arrange an audience for his Master with Yathmalla Quarra Det'tar about some girl.  Once the group arrived at the crypts, they found some kobolds, charmed by myconids, along with some lingering undead, and cleared the crypt successfully.  The group was paid by Zulkir Maligor himself.  It consisted of Omnipotence Uras'Thule, Omnipotence Balthazar, Castellan Aethon Tane of High Thay, Captain Williams of the Tyraturos Legion, Omniscience Erica Ashby of the Eltabbar Temple of Loviatar and her slave Keerla, Unkdaz the fish-wielding goblin, Lorach the goblin, and the mute Katja.

1362 DR 22 Kythorn - Sergeant Dina Simson of the Priador Legion hired a group to track down a smuggler (Guffrik) who may have been involved with or know something about the White Sails Shipping warehouse break-in.  The group headed to a hiding place he used at times at the Thazarim River Estuary, and found the warehouse guard dog, four warehouse slave laborers, and Guffrik there.  However, all of them had been turned into zombies.  The group, thanks to Omniscience Ashby, was able to speak with the spirit of the fallen Guffrik and discovered he was not behind the warehouse break-in.  Some further leads were passed along to the Legion to look into.  The group consisted of Overseer of Temples Mardikan, Omniscience Erica Ashby of the Loviatar Temple in Eltabbar, and her slaves Keerla and Hara, Yathmalla Quarra Det'tar of the Temple of Lloth in Undrek'Thoz, Gawain and Katja.

1362 DR 6 Flamerule - Richard Brake, a literal cursed dead man, recovered his once-lost memories and was able to remember the man who placed said curse on him that prevented his death, ultimately leaving him as a skeleton until this man is killed. In Long Portage, with the help of Master Kammnos Tam, Richard and a group of adventurers gathered to attempt to scry on this curse-giving man, revealing him to be a vampire and residing in Threskel, across the sea from Thay. With the help of an old friend, ex-pirate Langley Ruffles and his hill giant accomplice Huzza, the group and Richard set sail to Threskel. After landing on new land, the group noticed a large dragon-like skeletal creature flying through the air and landing at the peak of a mountain where the group was at the base of. Uncovering the cavern entrance that matched the scry vision, the group entered and fought through mind-controlled humanoid creatures and eventually encountered Raskul The Vampire, the man who placed the curse on Richard, Raskul's vampire accomplice Kythen, and numerous vampire spawns and soldiers. As the battle ensued, the group was assisted by a few mysterious strangers who labelled themselves as contracted hunters, looking for the vampire Kythen. With Raskul now dead and the curse lifted, Richard reverted back to his human self and decided to travel back to Chessenta with these contracted hunters, vowing to return to Thay to repay those that helped him that night. The group that assisted Richard were: Omnipotence Balthazar, Omniscience Ashby, Geliaz Spites, Keerla Thiend, Raven Blaca, Taygra Tigerfist, Thayan Knight Gravenson, and Yvonnel Naerth.

1362 DR 16 Flamerule - Deep in a Forested Valley hidden within the Sunrise Mountains, Yubryn of the Temple of Malar and his fellow priests were slain while on Hunt in the Beastlord's name.  It is said the act was performed by a mysterious group called the Knights of the Seelie Court.

1362 DR 19 Flamerule - Ayrin Valeth and the slave Alendril assist a Tuigan spirit in finding eternal rest.  Removing his body from beneath the catacombs of Tyraturos, they build a pyre upon the plains far removed from the city and give the last rites of Teylas so that Chanar Hu can rejoin his ancestors.

1362 DR 12 Eleasis - Red Magic begins!  Answering a summons from Asp -the gnoll commander of Zulkir Maligor's army- a group of mercenaries, high ranking legionnaires and a Red Wizard assist in the search for the deserter known as Mudwort.  While the search was unsuccessful, the group was able to recover a personal item of the gnolls from a bandit camp in the Escarpment north of Bezantur.  Maligor was then able to use it in his creation of a Darkenbeast to hunt Mudwort down.  Cast of Characters:  Tribune Nulara Nephtys, Castellan Aethon Tane, Omnipotence Balthazar, wanderer Taygra Tigerfist, hins Calkin Wildwood and Nyx, drow Yvonnel Naerth and goblin Lorach.

1362 DR 16 Eleasis - A group of four (Overseer of Temples Mardikan, Gawain, Honoria, and Yvonnel of House Naerth) investigated strange disturbances in the Murbant Sea Caves upon the request of Sergeant Dina Simson of the Priador Legion.  Based on talking to the kobolds Brik and Brak, they found that undead, most of which had come up out of the sea, but four zombies which had been dropped off on a small boat by two black robed figures, were causing the disturbance.  They also learned that the dead smuggler Guffrik had used the cave to store some of his goods and coin. The four zombies were the missing warehouse guards from the White Sails Shipping warehouse break in incident.  The group found supplies stored as well, some of which, while generic (e.g., bandages) matched up with some of the stolen warehouse goods. There was no sign of Tofza, the missing shift manager from the warehouse. The group took one of the bodies to the High Priestess at the local temple, who was only able to ask a few questions of the spirit.  There are some thoughts now that perhaps a bear, or someone turned into one, was involved in the Warehouse attack, and the halfling bandit shifter Briarwood Brothers are possible suspects.

1362 DR 16 Eleasis - 5 adventurers, Knight Viktor Gravenson, Gawain, Taygra Tigerfist, Castellan Aethon Tane and Yvonnel Naerth of House Naerth, answered the call to escort the apprentice into the crypts at Amruthar to collect some components that two thieves had stolen. While escorting the apprentice, the caravan was ambushed by darkenbeasts, apparently trying to get to the apprentice. The group dealt with them easily and the caravan resumed it's course to Amruthar. On arriving at Amruthar they were attacked just outside the crypt by a couple of darkenbeasts, they entered the crypt to find a nest of vampires that had taken residence. They came across the leader and asked questions on the two thieves, the leader told them they had been used as food and they were laid somewhere in the crypt. The leader left and they continued, they found more vampires further in, with the leader calling for their death. They were dealt with and the group retrieved the components the apprentice wanted and the apprentice took an item of clothing from both bodies to prove to his master that the thieves were dead.The apprentice paid them before he ported out leaving the adventurers to go on their way.

1362 DR 11 Eleint - Tharchion Willenth Lionson departs from Thralgard Keep to the faraway city of Tantras to review mining equipment.  He hires a group of mercenaries to deliver him safely to the port city of Bezantur where his ship awaits.  He makes the journey without incident, however strange happenings when he boards his vessel makes the mercenaries suspect foul play may be imminent.  His entourage to Bezantur was composed of Gawain Reynn, Honoria Reynn, Overseer Mardikan, Omniscience Erica Ashby, Master Uras'Thule, Tribune Nulara Nephtys, Castellan Aethon Tane, Ignan Sannerman, Wanderer Taygra Tigerfist and the slave Hara.

1362 DR 6 Marpenoth - Two sibling Red Wizards, Talia and Joran Aers, scheduled a gathering for adventurers to help collect water essence for "something special". The group agreed to use the magical portal in the Temple of Tymora to try and enter the Uncharted Land, where sightings of ice and water elementals are common. After collecting the required amount of essence the group met with the two Red Wizards in front of the Burning House of Kossuth in Tyraturos. Upon arrival the group noticed the siblings' usage of Rhul and Mordayn Vapor, two drugs that alter the mind and increases aggression. With the new-found component of water essence the two Red Wizards began to change the weather, controlling the clouds to form a fury of heavy rain and hail down on the Burning House in the name of their god Istishia. As the roof began to cave in a magical door appeared behind the Red Wizards, with two black-hooded figures lunging out of the floating door frame to assassinate the siblings. The black flames of their kukris engulfed the bodies and turned them to ash as the weather slowly began to clear. Known as the Order of the Black Flame, rumor begins to swirl of these new assassins and their potential power against anyone who insults the Lord of Flames. The members of the Burning House begins immediate repairs of their damaged roof and walls. Those that witnessed this event were: Aethon Tane, Arthur Delrin, Delia, Ezekiel Williams, Geliaz Spites, Katja, Taygra Tigerfist, Viktor Gravensen, and Yvonnel Naerth.

1362 DR 7 Uktar - As the gnoll army of Maligor continues to grow and Amruthar becomes more restless; Hiearch Numos Thal assembles an envoy to approach the Zulkir and determine his intent with his forces.  Consisting of Castellan Aethon Tane, Captain Ezekiel Williams, Wanderer Taygra Tigerfist, Omnipotence Balthazar Baxter, Iron Throne member Night Hawke, Gawain Reynn, monk Garrok and healer Nell; the party arrives at the tower to find that the gnoll army has recently departed for some unknown location in Thay, presumably against another Red Wizard.  Also, the undead forces of Szass Tam led by Harper Agent Galvin and Aglarond councilwoman Brenna (both forced into their roles under threat of undeath), arrive at the tower with the goal of destroying the gnoll army and slaying Maligor.  Together they clear the tower of what remained of Maligors forces but were unable to find the Zulkir or his henchwoman Asp.  The forces of Szass Tam claim control of Maligors tower and discover evidence that the Red Wizard has a second -more terrifying- army comprised of darkenbeasts.  The envoy returns to the Hierarch to relay current events and the forces of Szass Tam continue to search the tower to determine Maligors intent with both his forces of darkenbeasts and gnolls.

1362 DR 11 Uktar - Apprentice Sugiside lead a group (Knight Viktor Gravenson, Katja, and Calkin Wildwood) to see Red Wizard Rembert Wellford.  Garrok also arrived to see the Master after a slight delay.  Rembert tasked the group with delivering an aspect mirror to a Felix Spinner, who traveled with Master Wellford during some of his apprentice days.  Felix is a follower of Tymora who tries to travel and live among various humanoid groups, including goblins, kobolds and gnolls, to gather information about them.  The group traveled to the Southern Alaor Isle, and ran into the same fox Calkin had previously spoken with on an earlier trip.  The fox warned the group of some others near a cave.  The group dispatched the followers of Beshaba, who had been trying to hunt down Felix.  The group searched the caves, and eventually found Felix.  Apparently, he had entered the caves to recover some fish bone amulet that was of importance to the Sahuagin, so he would have it to present to them during discussions.  The group questioned him a bit, but eventually led him back to the naval base, where Felix departed to make the aspect mirror call to Master Wellford.  The group also heard of a Red Wizard passing through the base and heading toward the abandoned tower on the island a few days previously. There apparently were some sort of strange lights from the top of the tower after the Wizard had headed there.  The group believed this might have been a necromancer named Master Jeronid.

1362 DR 1 Nightal - Omnipotence Khalia, a diplomat for the Red Wizards of Thay, hired a small band of adventurers to hand-deliver a letter to two people of interest: Glasagdun the Sand Shaper, a mysteriously knowledgeable man often walking along the Street of the White Roses in Bezantur, and Frido Shreney, aka Purban Faltelfowe, a halfling ex-prisoner from the Nethwatch Keep dungeons. These two were to be brought in to Khalia for informal questioning. Those that assisted the diplomat were: Drake Najera, Estella Goldenblade, Ezekiel Williams, Katja, and Taygra Tigerfist.

1362 DR 2 Nightal - By leading a strong Thayan way of life and becoming somewhat notorious on his own, Ignan Sannerman becomes a Thayan Knight.

1362 DR 3 Nightal - As the gnoll army of Zulkir Maligor bears down upon his tower, Red Wizard Rembert Wellford makes a last ditch effort to defend his estate from the invaders.  Journeying to Tyraturos, he recruits the following to come to his aid:  Gawain Reynn, Honoria Reynn, Castellan Aethon Tane, Tribune Nulara Nephtys, Night Hawke of the Iron Throne, Captain Ezekiel Williams, Omniscience Erica Ashby, Omnipotence Balthazar and wanderer Taygra Tigerfist.  Together with his own meager forces, they were able to fortify the area around his tower and wear down the gnoll army in a night long battle that saw them victorious in the rising sun.  The gnoll champion Rorza was slain in battle, but Zulkir Maligor and his henchwoman Asp were not among the army.

1362 DR 7 Nightal - Using the guise of a small boy (Esi Dugsi), Red Wizard Rembert Wellford gathered a group to hunt down stragglers from the gnoll army that had fled after the battle at his estate.  He secured peace on his northern border with Zulkir Tam by letting the zulkir's forces have the bodies of the fallen gnolls from the battlefield, so his next focus was on preventing another attack from any regrouped gnoll force.  The group effectively did that for him, wiping out scattered groups of gnolls in the wild between Amruthar and Eltabbar.  They even wiped out one dragon that had been drawn in by the scent of blood from all the slain gnolls.  While there are still gnolls out there, the thinning of their numbers was a significant aid to Rembert.  The group consisted of Captain Ezekiel Williams of the Tyraturos Legion, Omniscience Erica Ashby of Loviatar, her slave Keerla, Gawain Reynn, Honoria Reynn and Night Hawke of the Iron Throne.

1363 DR Hammer 1 - The undead army of Szass Tam leaves the tower of Zulkir Maligor and head north towards the gold mines of Thay.  Fearing a take over of the mines by Zulkir Tam, Tharchion Willeth Lionson calls all available mercenaries to his side to protect the mines.  The following mercenaries answer his call:  Ayrin Valeth, Arthur Delrin, Omniscience Ashby, Castellan Aethon Tane, Honoria Reynn, Gawain Reynn, Captain Ezekiel Williams, Omnipotence Balthazar, wanderer Taygra Tigerfist, Tribune Nulara Nephtys, Lorach and Keerla Thiend.  During the parley between the leaders of the undead army -Galvin and Brenna- it was revealed that Maligor hoped to secretly takeover the gold mines with a darkenbeast horde and use it to supply his alchemical "discovery" of turning lead into gold.  Noting the strange behavior of the Tharchion, a dispel was cast upon him to reveal that it was really Asp, the agent of Maligor, in disguise.  She then used the magical defenses of the mines against the mercenaries and undead army but was slain after a brutal melee.  Entering the mines, the mercenaries and the undead army took seperate paths to find Maligor.  Both parties were assailed by wave after wave of darkenbeast, coming upon Zulkir Maligor a few times who used his deadly magic upon them.  Unable to defeat him in direct combat, the Harper agent Galvin used his druidic magic to bring the mines down upon Maligor.  Trapping the mercenaries deep underground, they resolve to go to Undrek'Thoz and seek passage to the surface there.  However, they quickly discover that Maligor was not slain in the cave in and was just as  trapped as they were.  Another melee followed with many mercenaries falling in battle before Maligor was eventually slain.  The mercenaries then traveled on to the Undrek'Thoz segment of Sshurlynder and were granted passage through the temple portal to the Bezantur temple of Lolth on the surface.

1363  DR Hammer 3 - Omnipotence Mur Vhol requested aid to investigate three White Sails Shipping vessels that wrecked at sea.  A group heard the story of the one survivor, then headed out to investigate.  The discovered the sahuagin had used a horde of sharks to drive a mist dragon into the ships, resulting in the wreckage.  The group arrived at an island, and wiped out some sahuagin.  They found some surviving sailors on the island, along with two bronze dragons (Wavellimor and Zanyfax) and their four hatchlings.  Wavellimor had rescued the sailors from the original attack, and was skilled at impersonating a dolphin and a parrot.  With the sailors rescued and their hatchlings grown enough to move along, the dragons departed, for now.  The group consisted of Overseer Mardikan, Drake Najera of the Temple of Valkur, Raven, Lucius Laurentis and Delia.

1363 DR Hammer 5 - The Iron Throne hired a group to supplement their caravan guards, to escort goods from Umratharos to Chur Gathos.  The group encountered the usual brigands, as well as some basilisks and slaad that appeared to have wandered out of the Ruins of Delhumide.  Additionally, there were bugbears with lash marks, which made it appear someone or something had driven them to attack.  There was speculation it may have been Zhents, given their not so pleasant relations with the Iron Throne.  The group also took care of ogres and frost giants, and the caravan successfully arrived.  The group consisted of Night Hawke of the Iron Throne, Captain Ezekiel Williams of the Tyraturos Legion, Omniscience Erica Ashby of Loviatar, Kroth Hammerheart, gladiator Alendril, Jenna Goodmane, Lynne Fairwell and Ayrin Valeth.

1363 DR Hammer 9 - Captain Ezekiel Williams of the Tyraturos legion is promoted to Tribune.

Invarri Metran was left in charge while the Tharcion is away at the ruins.

After some discussion it was revealed that one of the slum residents of Market Town orchestrated a series of events to pin the catalyst of the war on each gang leader, forcing them to fight one another in unnecessary retaliation. Her true purpose for doing so was revenge for gang violence killing her son years ago, while many other residents shared the same notion.

Upon arrival of said base, Omnipotence Mur Vhol had one more task for the adventurers. Two young captives of the pirates were actually not Thayans, but aquatic elves. Not wanting to risk any hostility towards other sea elves that were most likely looking for these children, Omnipotence Mur Vhol's decision was to have the adventurers escort the two captives into the Alamber Sea where they would hopefully recognize their way back. The adventurers then shipped out away from the Isles before diving down to safely guard the two back to their home, where they would eventually meet a small clan of aquatic elves and dolphins in a makeshift home. With the two back safely, and perhaps a more trusting connection between Thayans and the aquatic elven clan, the adventurers returned to the naval base.

Having fought through numerous creatures and bandits, the group was suddenly held up on an unstable bridge by an inanimate clay golem and two bone golems; stuck in the stomach of the clay golem appeared to be Grovel's sword. As the group approached the clay golem to remove the sword the three golems activated and charged towards them, breaking the bridge they all stood on to fall through a series of spider webs to an underground cavern. While the golems shattered on impact, the group miraculously landed in a pool of cave water and was able to recover Grovel's now-unobstructed sword. On their way to finding an exit the group stumbled upon a small camp of stone petrified people. The group was able to return these people to life, only to realize that they were purposefully turned to stone to halt the progression of a poison they sustained years ago without a cure. The group managed to cure the poison and clear a path to an exit, although the survivors decided to part ways with them before returning to the city. In the coming weeks the bridge in the ruins would eventually be repaired to a limited extent.

The group consisted of Castellan Aethon Tane, Tribune Ezekiel Williams, Gawain, Korgan Stonesack of the Iron Throne, Kyros the Black and Kai Kimura.

One particular group of adventurers entered the maze without its death protection, fighting through numerous creatures and eventually finding a hidden trap door underneath a pile of rubble. What they found inside was not the exit, but a secret room that housed many unconscious people in chains, all participants of the maze. The group was able to unlock some chains to free a few prisoners, and leaving the secret room brought them to the interior of Tarrant’s caravan wagon parked away from the show. However, entering the fairgrounds again Tarrant was no longer there, leaving many of the spectators confused about the sudden departure only minutes beforehand.

The group dealt with a large number of ogres, an assortment of bandits, and three members of the Black Tide, a rebel group against slavery, as well as thunderstorms. The group then picked up work, sponsored by Seipora Jassan, a performer with the Grand Circus of Faerun, helping to clear an area near Bezanturso that laborers from White Sails Shipping could harvest wood to help repair some ships that remained damaged from a storm a few months back.

1364 DR Eleasis 4 - While it is a fairly simple business matter to remove the furnishings of an evicted homeowner, the Deedmaster in Umratharos had a different experience.

1364 DR Eleasis 25 - Rumors of the volcano on the North Alaor Isle stirring, and of people believing Kossuth was preparing to destroy the isle, led the Most Fervid Walker of Fires Brianna, of the Flaming Brazier, to arrange for a group to investigate.  They arrived at the isle by ship, in waters that were noticeably choppier near the isle. After calming some of the residents and guests, and hearing reports of a boar attack, some near drowning incidents, and seeing some smoke and steam coming from the volcano, the group headed inland to investigate.  They found fallen water elementals and fire elementals, which had slain each other in battle.  Eventually, a fire giant named Redburn approached them near the entrance to the Heart of the Isle, and informed them that water elementals had been attacking them, and the volcano was being stirred up to forge more weapons and armor for battle, and to fully dispose of the remains of their watery enemies.  The group searched the beach, and found a place that the water elementals were emerging from the sea, and signs of conjuration magic from that area of the sea.  They caught a glimpse of a Calishite woman under the water, who rode away on a shark.  The elements stopped coming from the waters after that, and the volcano and sea calmed down.  The resort guests were reassured and rumors of Kossuth wanting to destroy the isle were stopped.  The group consisted of Talvass Darmine, Dylaan, Qu'ente, Hadush, Ramas, and Kolex Flamestrike.

1364 DR Eleint 22 - Calvin Morgan of White Sails Shipping, and the Calishite performer Seipora Jassan hired a group to take care of a problem with some sahuagin attacking two ships that drifted off course in heavy fog near a misty island. The group reached the island and, with the services of a translator, were able to convince the sahuagin to not attack, in return for not messing with their hatching grounds near the island as well as taking care of some undead that some black robed figures had stirred up about a month ago. The group discovered the black robed figures had been digging around the island, and discovered a few things of note. There were some ruins dating back to the time of the Narfell Empire, as well as a few pieces of a ruined temple that had been dedicated to some powerful demon or demon lord.

Eventually the two-time defending champion Sea Rider, sponsored by Umberlee's Temple, and the Drowned, a bone ship crewed by mostly undead, were bow to bow in the home stretch, when an explosion of fire from within caused the Sea Rider to explode. The fire and a portion of the Sea Rider struck the Drowned, causing it to break apart, and parts of it, along with flaming undead, to be launched into the air onto the docks. Some of those attending put the undead down. In the end. the rickety Electric Eel, crewed by faithful of Talos, won. The Blue Dolphin, crewed by Valkurites, stopped to aid the sailors overboard, and the Wave Hunter, crewed by Malarites, stopped to hunt sharks that came to feast on those in the water, giving the Electric Eel the opening they needed. Escaped prisoner Buppi Merbough, a halfling, is wanted for questioning as to possibly being involved in this. The crowd included Omnipotence Balthazar, Tribune Ezekiel Williams, a brief appearance by Castellan Aethon Tane, Talviss Darmine, Aznkour Jiermalu, Kuga, Iathouz, Straaka Wolfguard, and Dylaan.

1364 DR Marpenoth 22 - A family in Pyarados began experiencing a haunting in their home. Objects would move or break and food would disappear when they'd leave the room. While they did bring in a priestess of Tymora the problem still persisted with no real answer. Instead, the family decided to ask a small group of adventurers to help solve the mystery. During their investigation these adventurers also experienced minor changes to rooms once empty; books would realign themselves, food gone missing and clothes scattered on the floor. Setting a trap the group was able to finally see and catch what the culprit was: A Boggle, a small fey-like creature able to create portals using any sort of complete frame with a hole in it. Tying the creature up after catching it the group brought it to the outskirts of Pyarados to question it. However, the tricky fey was able to escape by creating a portal in between one of the adventurer's legs and the ground he stood on, vanishing without a trace. The group of adventurers that solved the mystery were: Dylaan, Estella Goldenblade, Jenna Goodmane, Qu'uente, and Victoria Nefzen.

1364 DR Uktar 17 - The Flaming Brazier requested someone look into two acolytes, who had last been seen at the ship race about a month ago. They offered aid to the injured sailors, but a Calishite woman was already there tending to injures. After minimal aid was accepted from them by the survivors of the exploded Umberlee boat, who viewed them with great suspicion given the fiery explosion that took out their ship, the two acolytes headed to the crypt in Bezantur on a temple task, but had not been heard from since. Two people (Dylaan and Kolex Flamestrike) investigated and found the bodies of the two in the crypts. The odd thing was that they had been drowned, and their lungs were still full of water. While the bodies were put to rest, things are heating up in Bezantur, as followers of Kossuth and those of Umberlee, already without much love lost between them, seem to have more suspicions that could cause the water to boil over.

As Seipora calmed him, and they started to say prayers for his fallen comrades as well, the skies darkened and some water elementals washed up onto the docks. They were defeated by legionnaires and some attendees, and the skies then cleared. There were rumors of a large shark fin being seen in the water. Ignium left, his anger still burning toward the nearby Umberlee temple. Cassius Hadrianus was also in attendance, along with Calkin Wildwood and Dylaan.

The group tended as they could to the sick, and then searched the pond, discovering an entry into an old ruin beneath the village. There, some hags dedicated to Jubilex had taken up residence, and had been spreading nightmares and disease since they apparently killed the former Talonite for finding their lair. The group dispatched them, and was able to develop a cure based on a journal and materials found in the ruins. The group consisted of Red Wizard Agosto, Tribune Ezekiel Williams, Lieutenant Remainder, Imrae Illaren, Katarina Aerson, Kyros the Black, Kai Kimura, and Twig.
