Part 1 - April - July 2004:

Week 7 - "Tomb of Elizar Branded Hand Part 2"

The party crossed the pit of tar and crossed through another anti-magic field. After lending alot of shoulder to the door (which had a symbol of Kiri-jolith on it) they entered a room. (Magic was on)

They were greeted by a wizard who thanked the party for freeing him. The party, curious entered the room. Thomas noticed something was up, and yelled "Vampire!" as the wizard lept into casting a spell.

Gabriel, Gentle Breese and Filtch all succumbed to a Confusion spell while the rest pressed the attack. (With Gentle getting some nice criticals against Gabriel...)

The Vamprie had already summoned some wolves, which arrived just in time to have half of them blown up (along with parts of the party) in a Fireball. The Vampire then turned to gas and made a break for the door. Halfway there he stopped and gazed into Thomas's eyes, dominating him.

The party realized this when he bullrushed both Gabrielle and Lucien.

Lucien then tried to subdue Thomas as part of the rest of the party pursued the Vamprie into the antimagic field.

After hog-tie'ing Thomas, Lucien joined the assault (Kinda, no damage was being dealt due to misplayed DR 15/Magic & Silver).

The Vampire had been making grabs at people, he finally found your body was nice and grabable, and after pinning you bit you in the neck. I believe you took 2 points of con damage (Permanent).

Eventually the party pinned the vampire to the ground and played stabby stabby with a stake to the heart. He was then lit on fire and incinerated in the tar.

After the ordeal, the party left the caves and started to town.

About 1 1/2 hours away a shadow crossed the path. Filtch and Gabrielle spotted two large blobs in the sky flying overhead towards the caves you just left. Filtch turned into an eagle and pursued. After a few circles, two Blue Dragons came into view. They proceeded to the cave mouth and the smaller of the two (which was bigger than the one you killed) entered. Soon after a scream left the cave, and was replied by the larger with a scream and lightning being burst into the air, and then the mountainside. The smaller returned and they took flight.

Filtch followed them and thats where the night ended. The party was too far away to make it back to the cave to encounter the Blue's.

Week 8 - "Investigating Aniel Part 1"

Flying with all his might Filtch managed to keep up with the pair of Dragons. They took a rout north by north west, which took them over the swamp controlled by the Black Dragon Overlord Morhlex. Filtches Druidic senses were feeling weird, since this swamp was existing in such a temperate environment...

Several hours of flight later, the dragons descended into an outcropping in a clifface. They descended into the darkness. Looking around Filtch spotted some dryland surrounding the cliff, complete with some horses and carts. Figuring on seeing what he could see before heading back he stayed long enough to see Draconians come out of the cave entrance nearby.

Meanwhile the party returned to town to report the demise of the Blue Dragon. THey shacked up in the local inn and enjoyed their evening. The farmer came in just before Filtch returned, and gave over the cow that was promised to him in payment. Filtch then paid the man handsomely to transport the cow to The Filtch (Your ship)

Talking to the bartender the party found that there was still no word from the elven settlement of Aniel. Asking they discovered the local blacksmith had been there recently.

In the morning they went out to Samuel the blacksmith. He told them to look for an Elvin Ranger named Tarien. He was known to be in charge. He also said there should also be a wizard among their lot.

They party set out. Coming across Aniel, they slowed their pace and began to examine the area. It was very deserted, except for some penned farm animals which were showing signs of lack of food. Some had broken free, some hadn't. The town had a feeling of having been suddenly deserted, but no signs of fighting.

Exploring some more, they entered into a church of Mishakal. Inside the door closed quite suddenly. Cautiously they opened the door, to find it wasn't locked and there was no sign of hwo closed it.

Proceeding down the street the party split up. As some of them approached an inn, Phase Spiders appeared, attacked and disappeared before anyone had a chance to react. The party began to defend themselves against the spiders, soon discovering they were going after whoever was on their own.

Using this to their advantage, Filtch smashed alcohol all over the inn and then stood alone with a torch in hand (and a grin on his face) waiting for the spiders.

They took the bait and appeared in time for Filtch to drop the torch, and Edder to drop the fireball - all at the same time. Filtch happily existed in the middle of it all, not taking any of it. However this didn't finnish the spiders, so they lured them away again with volunteer party members. A fireball and an Ice Storm later, they were dealt with.

Investigating further, the party discovered a gravesite. Digging up the contents (while Lucien and Thomas were off searching something else) they found a white robed mage Revan, with a spider bite in the neck.

Searching for this mages house, they found it a little out of town. Before they entered, an elvin ghost named Navae appeared to them, claiming to be one of the town residents, cursed into ghosthood. Navae was elvin, wearing wizards robes of no color. He claimed that it was Revan's fault they were all ghosts, but the party didn't really believe him. Navae disappeared into the house, and the party followed.

Discovering a room on the top floor, the party discovered a box, which radiated magic. After attempting dispels, the party moved out of the room as Gabriel opened it. After the firetrap was exploded, the party heard some mumbling from the room and returned. Gabriel did something odd, he made a dash for the door. The party stopped him after finally believing Filtch that something was amis. They pinned Gabriel and a box fell from him hands. Following a strange felling in the back of his head, Edder knocked the box to the corner where Jason went to pick it up. After he made a break for the door the party was really confused.

Week 9 - "Investigating Aniel Part 2"

As Gentle Breese was being pummeled by Filtch (Da'Bear) the box was kicked over into a corner. At this moment a ghost appeared and chased after Edder, who was going after the box.

With a touch, the ghost disappeared and Edder made a run for the door. After a squishing from Filtch, the ghost was cornered and destroyed by the party, wielding their enchanted swords.

After they were sure the ghost was gone, the party set upon opening the box. Following the boxes destruction, Edder removed a large saliva covered gem from Filtches mouth. Casting a spell, Edder was floored at it's power. Such power he had only heard rumor of - could it be a gem of wishes?

Searching the house further they found a study. In there were books detailing events of the white robed wizards life. One of these books detailed his defeat of an evil force which tried to take the land these elves were occupying. It told of the white robe holding a gem (Named Gladiir) banishing the opposing force with just a request.

Deciding to find out if there were indeed any elves wandering the town unseen, Edder set upon learning the See Invisibility scroll found in the Wizards room. Two days later the party had formed their plan.

First, Lucien called upon Kiri-jolith to talk with the Dead Wizard found on the outskirts of town. However, the wizard was of little use - It seems he died before the town acquired their problem.

So, Edder went into the study, and cast his spell of seeing. He was greeted by the vision of an Elf, nodding off to sleep in a chair opposite to him. Greeting the elf, the elf was very surprised, and went off in search of others.

Moments later another elf arrived and introduced himself as Tarien. Tarien was the Elf which the party was instructed to meet in Aniel. Tarien explained that Navae (the BAD Ghost Elf) was a student of Revan (The Dead Elf White Robe) for some time now. A few weeks ago Navae attempted to steal the Galadiir, and Revan and Tarien set to stop him.

In the battle, Revan received a lethal bite from one of Navae's Phase Spiders, before Tarien was able to deal him a fated blow. However, as he drifted into death, Navae held the Galadiir and cursed Tarien - "I may be dragged into death, but where I go, you will all soon join me."

They buried Revan with honor, and Navae's body was cremated. However, three days later the people of Aniel awoke to find that the world had become gray and lifeless, and they were unable to touch anything. Navae returned as a ghost, using his powers and his spider minions to terrorize the village.

After consulting KirJolith as to the direction of fates, Edder held the Galadiir up, and "Wished that the damaged caused by the previous wish be undone". (Yes, that might not have been the right words, but I can't remember) The gem flashed, and suddenly Elves began fading into view all around the party.

Triumphant, the party was treated to a celebration that evening, with the gratitude of the elves. They set off the next day, heading back towards Jennison and The Filtch.

Arriving back in Jennison, the party went to see how their ship was doing. Upon approach, Filtch spotted some movement on the deck of the ship. After realizing he couldn't get there as a Dire Bear, Filtch returned to his Kender self and boarded the ship. The party noticed that the "Mesmeremba" had been replaced by "The Filtch", with the image of a Hoopak below the name. (Attached Image)

There was a quick movement, and he was greeted by four Kender! One said "Hi, you must be Filtch, what do you have in your pockets?". The five Kender dropped on the spot and begun the customary show and tell.

During the escapade, it came out that the Kender had heard there was a Kender ship in port, and had came down to join up! Edder and Lucien went down to the portmaster to check in. He confirmed the work was finished on restoring any damage, and it had been kept safe. He tried to keep the Kender out, but thats like trying to catch air.

The party requested 16 more able sailors to man the ship, and they put out to sea the following day. The party did some buying/selling in town before leaving, and just as they were about to leave, the portmaster told the party to meet a merchant by the name of Thyris Nostalin in North Keep. He was associated with the trade route between Nordmaar and Palanthas, and needed help with a job.
