19 Erastus, Oathday (Continued)
We determined the Tentacled creature was an irregular Decapod. We also found a small room that had an alter with an opened egg. around the egg was some pulsating ooze, and some other unimportant things. I poked and prodded the ooze but nothing happened. I then took a sample for later. about this time Qatana ended up getting herself cursed. That was very intriguing.
We ventured back into to the Kitchen to our last unexplored door in there. The door was sealed due to water damage. The door was broken open to reveal a damp mold and fungus filled room prominent in the room were some purple fungi. I was tempted to go in and examine it, but something just did not feel right. I knew enough that it could shoot out some unhealthy spores and that we did not want to go in. As we closed the door I thought I saw something…all well.
We proceeded to go back up stairs to explore the last set of stairs down. As I got near the bottom of the stairs I heard Kali call out a name and some other noise. They said it was Ameiko’s Grandfather and that he pointed to a spot in the wall. Kali was playing with some disc like keys (where did they come from?) and it opened and closed an iron gate. In the part of the wall that grandfather pointed to rested 3 Tian Chests. The only chest that interested me was the one that held a box. This must be what we need to help Ameiko.
We went back to the cemetery and sent an message and inquiry on Ameiko’s condition. I was relieved to here that she hadn’t gotten worse, but was hoping she was awake already. We were all quite weary and needed to rest. We will need to wait till the morning to see if we could discover the cure for her condition. As I lay trying to sleep with Ling curled up next to me, I am writing this and also amusing myself with thoughts of what I could do with Qatana’s Cursed Statue.
20 Erastus, Fireday
We returned to the caravan and set to work trying to revive Ameiko by opening the box. When the box was opened, everything around me seem to change. I started seeing things strange visions. One where odd fiendish creatures, carrying curious weapons, stormed out a forest and fell upon what seemed to be a Tian Village. Another depicted 2 friends by a well, and one changed, becoming larger and murdered the royal robed one. Another showed a young Tian man selling an important sword (the name Suishen comes to mind) to an Ulfen Man. The last depicted an unmistakable Ameiko rising as an Empress on a Jade Throne. At that moment I knew we were all apart of this as Scions (even Kelda…Blah). We need to find Suishen. This woke Ameiko up. I continued to check on Ameiko and making sure she got the things she needed to regain her health. We are on our way back to Riddleport.
…….
What day is it. I seem to have lost track of the time and day. I have been held up in the caravan Creating potion after potion. My companions seem to at times be concerned about my experimenting and concocting as they are concerned tht I will end up as the witch of the swamp… Please she was obviously dabbling in transmutations, and that really isn’t my thing. I prefer alchemy, potions, and herbal concoctions. Nothing to worry about.
It seems we are getting ready to leave again. I guess I should get out and stretch my legs a bit.
6 Arodus Moonday
We have been traveling for some days now We have just stopped at a bridge to camp for the night. I have been busy and forgot to write in my journal for several days. I had an opportunity to show Kelda my dislike of her and how she disrespected our group when we first met. At meal time a few days ago, I turned her meal putrid. The others were not amused. What is their problem. Well i won’t do it again as long as Qatana is cooking as she was hurt by it. I will have to come up with a better plan next time.
Another interesting thing to occur is that we have been followed by an over sized crow for a few days now. It has everyone on edge.
I also got to talk to Koya about her harrowing. It really is quite fasinating. I may consider it if I come across a set of cards myself, but I am still uncertain it is the path for me. I am sure there are other was to be able to predict the future.
Seems I have the first watch. Nothing ever seems to happen during these things, But man is Kali on edge. she wants to set up some sort of trap under the bridge. I respect Kali but man is she overreacting.
6 Arodus Follow up
Well Kali was kind of right. We were attacked on my watch, and I didn’t even hear them coming. Ling and I were the last to arrive at the battle front for we were on the other side of camp when it happened. I did get to help bring some Ulfen warriors day to a unfortunate end. I wanted to set the boat on fire, but the group thought it would bring to much attention to us. I figure we already have the attention, that is why we got attacked. I thought it would send a message to them not to mess with us. As I am the only one with this thought process I dropped the matter. I think I will rest now. Ling is already snug against my side.
