Curses! Foiled again! We defeated the foul creatures guarding the strange, hanging ship and all the creatures in the warehouse only to learn that Boss Fromm had been taken elsewhere. We lost Drak to the fight but were lucky enough to have him brought back only it seemed that he wasn't so happy to rejoin us. He kept this strange scowl on his face and kept muttering under his breath! Something about frolicking in the Golden Woodlands and other strange things I couldn't quite grasp! One would have thought that Drak would be glad to be back but it does not seem so. Maybe we should find out from all the members of the Oathbound what their wishes are should they meet their maker in battle. I for one wish to remain until the evil of the Medegians on Oerth has been banished! I pray to Obad-Hai to grant me the strenth and fortitude to remain strong and steadfast in our quest! On with the fight!!!

Obad-Hai has given me gifts beyond imagination and belief! Not only was I and my friends given the strength and ability to defeat a troop of the Archbishop’s soldiers who were sent to arrest us, we were shown things that, before now, I would have not believed!

We’d gleaned some information, through the deft and able abilities of our friend El’Rohir, about the whereabouts of Boss Fromm. He’s alive, thank Obad-Hai, and in a town called Stye. Apparently being held captive in some type of boat that is suspended in the air. We were on our way via the ocean and stopped on a beach to camp for the night. We were approached by a band of soldiers, whom we asked for permission to hunt and camp. They returned only to inform us that we were going to be held under arrest by order of the Archbishop of Pontylver via another of his contemptible minions. After making waste of that band of soldiers we tried to retreat into the sea to escape, though not one of us could handle a boat! (Strange, though, I feel that I could handle that boat easily, now. Could it have something to do with the Merfolk?) We drifted until the morning only to find that we were being pursued by the wretched Medegians! Our only hope was to make it back to the beach and hide. It was not to be. For a moment I thought that I must have angered Obad-Hai greatly by working hand-in-hand with those evil beings at the Coldstone Keep, because we had no sooner made it back to the shore and sunk the boat when hundreds of soldiers appeared on the horizon making for us straight away! I feel shame for my thoughts and now I realize that my God is generous and great. In the form of Hanor, a good cleric of Moridin, he sent us a way to escape these soldiers for we surely would have perished without Hanor’s spell that allowed us to breathe underwater. We all took to the sea (what an immense store of beauty and horror this body of water holds) and soon found ourselves in an underwater cave fighting off a huge monster with a multitude of tentacles! Again, it was Hanor that saved us from certain death for our warriors, stout as they may be, were all rendered immobile in the grasp of this creature including myself!!! With Hanor’s spell, a miraculous weapon that chipped away at the creatures defenses, we were all freed! Truly Obad-Hai and Moridin have joined their forces to defeat the evil followers of Hextor. (Oh how my hand balks at even scribing the letters that spell that abominable name!) It is obvious, now more than ever, that one reaps the rewards for fighting on the side of good. The treasure in the cave of this tentacled horror was that of legends!!! A holy trident of incomparable magical ability and a magic ring, named the Ring of the Oceans (as I was later informed by the Merfolk) were to be my rewards. Thanks to Obad-Hai! The miracles do not stop here! We were very fatigued after our under-water flight and battle and were resting when a Merwoman, whose exotic beauty you will find nowhere but under the sea, visited us. She was apparently sent to us to accompany us to safety. The rest of the party was given coral rings to wear that would allow them free action beneath the waves. I did not require one as I had my gift from Obad-Hai, the Ring of the Oceans. When the mermaid saw the trident I carried she informed me that I had found an important magic weapon that belonged to the King of the Merfolk! I was completely numb from the immediate knowledge that this was placed in my hands by Obad-Hai in order for me to return it to these wondrous under water people! Oh how my god has faith in me! To be given the ability to gain the favor of the God, Procan, the protector of our aquatic kin! Upon meeting the Merfolk King I returned the trident and was rewarded, again, with armor of the most mysterious texture. Something called sharkskin. I must learn more of these sharks. We were given comfortable quarters and delicious food and then, the most unbelievable occurrence of all, a “ride” to our destination, Stye, in the mouth of a gargantuan sea creature called a whale! Will wonders never cease? If I die today, I will die knowing that Obad-Hai has given me gifts and knowledge of things I’m not even sure that I deserve!

We now sit in Stye, in a room with a view of the suspended ship, and await our Gods to provide us with the knowledge necessary to free Boss Fromm. Perhaps some of that knowledge has come to us in the form of a City Council member who has given us information we may be able to use to access that ship. Is he telling us the truth or is he trying to snare us in some evil trap? Only time will tell. Tomorrow we start another leg of our journey in the battle of good against evil. Great and generous Obad-Hai grant our wonderful and brave band of warriors the ability to remain stalwart and true in our mission.

Scheming with evil wizards?! Dealing with an evil cleric?! Obad-hai knows that everything on Oerth is here for a reason but I never thought that I'd be involved with such devil worshippers!! For the greater good. That's what I must tell myself to keep from praying to cleanse myself ever waking hour!! We did obtain the cloak. From that cleric's twisted information it may not even do us any good but only time will tell. I'm just thankful that that's over and done with and now we can get on with the search for the survivors of that dreadful attack on Boss Fromm's camp. Obad'Hai see us through these days and help us to bring the rebels together again.

My hopes have been shattered. No sooner had I felt that we had a chance to defeat the evil that fills our lands when Boss Fromms camp was destroyed by evil minions of the Sea of Medegia. We watched as smoke filled the skies and could do nothing but stand while our heart's broke. Poor Terranza! So many of her comrades at arms! How many of them live? Did Boss Fromm survive? So many questions! And where are we? Under the earth trying to find some cloak that will allow us to pass the guardian at the underground entrance to the Crystal Cathedral and, even though this is a worthy cause and will further our cause, I can't help but feel we are in the wrong place. We should be out searching for the survivors from the attack on Boss Fromm's camp! Luckily, some of the survivors found us in the cave of the evil mage that works for the Archbishop of Pontylver. A little worse for the wear but noble and worthy comrades to have at such a crucial time. Hopefully this quest will no last long. I pray for the survivors. To Obad-Hai I most humbly beg that they should be protected until they may reach safety. We must assist in gathering the forces now before everyone loses what little hope remains!!! Obad-Hai see us through these wrtchedly, miserable and sad days!

Ettins! Hill Giants! What evil has befallen our world that I should happen upon so many of my greatest enemies in one day? With such stalwart companions as I am accompanied by, I have no fear that we will rid the Oerth of many of these foul creatures before our time to meet with the Gods has come. After today I feel that our cause has a chance. There is hope. There is too much good on Oerth to allow such evil to reign. Such evil that, while still feeling the joy of having our companion, Aria, returned to us, she should nearly be taken from us again by these horrid ettins and giants, and Drak as well!! So thankful am I to have such determined comrades. Without El'Rohir and Terranza, Drak and Aria should have become no more than fodder for these giant-kind. My utmost gratitude to Obad-Hai for giving me the strength and wit to overcome these creatures. I pray with undying faith that Obad-Hai will continue to guide me, staff in hand, through my journey to cleanse Medegia of the evil that has befallen it.

Alas! Sadness has befallen our little band of do-gooders yet again! My faithful comrade and fellow ranger, Aria, is dead. Let Obad-Hai accompany her spirit through the lasting light of the ever after. Our greatest hope is that we will be able to unite her body and spirit once again that she may rejoin us and fight for the cause she so fervently upholds. Only the Gods can see what shall come.

We may be a bit further along in our quest. We have found, on Firewatch Island, with the help of a new friend, Terranza, a cleric named Jenore Stormswake who has given us very valuable information. At Boss Fromm's request we accompanied Terranza, a formidable female fighter, to find an item of interest on this island. We were to collect it from Jenore. Upon arrival on the island, which was supposed to be inhabited by hermits that tended the gardens, it seemed that our trip was all for naught. For all I could see, it appeared that the island was deserted! The doors on the keep had been forced and set back again hastily but there was no sign of the inhabitants. In our exploration around the keep we encountered two foul beings I had heard of but never had laid an eye on. Sea Hags! It was then that we lost, Aria. She could not withstand their evil presence. Thanks be to Obad-Hai that Drak was there to avenge Aria's death! One dance-like motion of his arms and some spoken magic and the sea hags exploded before our very eyes! It was fitting that Drak should be the one to dispense of the sea hags. Aria was very dear to him. We encountered and killed two more horrid beasts, some rats and undead before we found Jenore. The poor woman, after losing most of her friends to something called the Blue Rot, was hiding in a room accessed by a secret door. She was trying to save her two surviving comrades from succumbing to the disease when we found her. The disease took them, though, and they also had to be killed. Poor, poor woman! To know such grief but still have the strength to give us the information we came for. Apparently, Terranza was to retrieve a map of the Crystal Cathedral!!! Imagine what a tool that would be! Sadly, though, Jenore informed us that the undead had probably taken the map while they were terrorizing the people on the island. The poor souls! Evil at every turn! Obad-Hai assist them in finding their way through the golden forests of the ever after as they find their way to their final resting place with their Gods.

To a place called Dagon's Maw in the ocean we must go to retrieve this map. What else will we find there? It is well and good that we have new friends, El-Rohir, a valiant, well spoken half-elf that can hold his own in any situation and Terranza, our friend from Boss Fromm’s camp to aid us in our battle against evil. Obad-Hai guide and protect us as we look for this very important tool. We must win this fight!

My insecurity has been lifted and I can continue my work. Boss From has confirmed my intentions and the doubt that was cast upon me by that gnarled, hateful druid, Mardak, is gone. Damn the man for causing me to even wonder about my own intentions!! Evil monsters need killing!! They can't be left alone to ravish good people!!! We can't be left to decide who is driving those monsters to their doings without being given insight!! Praise to Obad-Hai for giving me the knowledge and the power to destroy the evil and help the good! This is a war! Sadly, that means that innocents will die as well as evil. The cause is just. I will continue my fight.
Alas, we are losing Loganarius. As annoying as that man could be, and that was very annoying, he was a great help and good person to haave on our side of the cause. I always felt that there was more good in him than his arrogant and snide manner showed. Perhaps it is best that he died and returned to his body by the gods. Maybe now he will get to know his true self. Obad-Hai help him.
I appears that we may have a new companion to join us in our fight against the evil that plagues the See of Medegia. It will be a long hard battle. Obad-Hai help us.

Um....DM? You forgot to mention that when we freed the dwarves from their hellish imprisonment that I killed the drow elf keeping them captive in a most glorious fashion with only one hit from the "Elfdestroyer" spear and you kind of down-played the time that I beat the snot out of Drak, the insufferable, for trying to take advantage of those who are weaker than we are. But....that's OK. I'm really just a humble ranger out to right the wrongs in the world. I don't expect my spectacular doings to be written in the songs that will be sung by bards to entertain lords and ladies. I'll just humbly go about my business and hope that my work helps make the world a better place.
