Hi everyone. It has been a long long time since I last wrote a log. Mostly because I had not been going on too many adventures. As the sky darkens and armies make their way towards White Moon Cove, I realized I needed to set out and help with this Tortan Stone situation.

Before I get to that though, I just want to say Thank You. Everyone that has been fighting against these forces of doom, I thank you. Everyone who has been keeping the people in town calm and safe, I thank you. May your brave deeds be sung forever more. It matters little if you were one that has been here forever or someone fresh off the boat, you have all proven yourselves to be legendary heroes.

On to that adventure I mentioned. Chemist, Naal, Zak, Eddings, and Joule told me about this city destroying bomb made by a god – Called the Tortan Stone. We had already possessed the arming pin, but it was stolen by some Kenku mercenaries that we then bought it back from. (I think, I mostly nodded as they told me, I was eating some sushi at the time.)

With a likely location known about where they were keeping this divine equivalent of one of Cysero’s projects…. I went out with them to retrieve it. Along the way we planned a joint assault on this base with the Wise Hoof Centaurs. They would be making a diversion to draw out the main forces of the base while we went into to retrieve the stone.

After we got to the location and had a good rest inside of Chemist’s mansion magic we set out. The Centaurs did their job perfectly, drawing out a large amount of the gnoll forces, allowing us to rip through their outer defenses. Inside of the base were a series of rooms with fake Tortan Stones, each guarded by stronger and stronger foes.

As we fought our way through Death Knight Gnolls and Invisible Talos Dwarves we eventually came down to the final floor. Inside was the real Tortan Stone, and a massive being whose every act was to call upon the end of existence.

With but a wave of his hand the lifeforce of each creature in the room, friend and foe alike, was assaulted. Zak and Joule took the biggest hits from this attack on our side, but the being’s own minions all succumbed to its life-ending pull. Joule, already exhausted from the previous fights and the first of these attacks, fell down tired and dead from the second. We would later revive her, but it was clear to us this being needed to go down quickly.

Completely resistant to magical assualt we opted for overwhelming force, Naal was turned into a Spinosaurus and I used the last of my divine power to smite the creature nearly to death. With a mighty chomp the creature dissipated in Naal’s toothy maw.

Now back in town…. with the Tortan Stone and Joule back to life…. we prepare for our Finest Hour and The Black Scourge
