The PaxLair Press, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – July 20, 2012 – by Ashlynn – Much of the alliance has been busy seeking out (or growing) the ingredients required for the plague affecting the gargish folk of Ter Mur. With crops now yielding plenty of sugar and vanilla, alliance cures are now being produced in large quantities.
A Goblin Celebration
The colourful… denizens of Pitmuck island held a celebration at the cave found there earlier this month for reasons more whimsical than… anything else. The announcement brought people from all over the realm to the island and the evening was spent as most are that involve ale and other alcohol.
Fortunately for those who were not too keen on the goblin rotgut on offer (which was just about everyone), there was cider and ale of a more mundane nature available. I myself opted for some of the latter.
Curiously, a number of goblins not seen before also made their way to the cave where they were soon assimilated into the mob to begin their intensive training in the nuances of vulgar behaviour. No doubt the rest of Sosaria is thrilled to see their numbers increase.
Necromancer Attacks Quarantined Village
A few nights ago, the Commander Foxx called the Royal Guard to arms to investigate missing shipments to the village currently under quarantine in Ter Mur. On further investigation, we discovered the passes were blocked by a host of undead gargish creatures that took a great deal of effort in fighting back.
We soon came across the one who appeared to be responsible for the deathless invasion but the mage managed to escape in the confusion.
Entering the village we discovered a sick Princess Rhistas of Ter Mur and learned that the mage was a necromancer by the name of Brutalius who was said to “have the stench of Paws about him” suggesting a link to the forsaken village beneath the Fens of the Dead.
The Princess’ illness however became something of a priority and because of her insistance at remaining in the village and aiding her sick subjects, one amongst us quickly fetched a prepared cure to ensure she would not fall to the plague as well.
Old Documents
Following the incident at the Quarantined Village, I was informed by Lady CaT of a pile of old letters and other documents in the Library of Britain that described the people and events that befell the village of Paws. Reading through the letters revealed that the circumstances surrounding the village’s disappearance and the calamity now affecting the Gargish bore many similarities. Furthermore, the Meer and a strange moongate were also mentioned.
We both decided to seek further clues in the Village of Lakeshire, however I had to take precautions and hide from the meer guards there (and unfortunate consequence of my past endeavours). Sadly, the only papers we could find spoke of the history of the Meer and their past encounters with Exodus and the Jukan people.
Still, I am not one of who believes in co-incidences – at least not this many. I recommend others read the letters in the library and seek out clues that may aid the gargish of Ter Mur before history repeats itself.
An Alliance Remedy
Production of the cures continues. Our goal has now increased to 450 cures but we have already produced over 200 and with our vanilla and sugar crops now producing vital ingredients, we will soon reach our second target. Current numbers of ingredients and cures are forthcoming.
