The Fall of Phlan

20 Marpenoth 1489 DR


I am now back in Phandalin as I write. We had to escape from Phlan after the dragon invasion. So many people died and we had to leave comrades behind. We are truly powerless.

We had met up with Allyd Burrel as she wanted us to accompany her in notifying the Lord Regent about the Black Fists and their crimes. Before we could, a large crash came from outside. A Green Dragon was attacking the city! Mobs of cultists invaded, killing and taking citizens as hostages. We ran to find the Lord Regent , helping all the citizens we could a long the way.

When we finally arrived at our destination we could see the Lord Regent tied up. Allyd Burrel ran in as a distraction so we could stealth our way in. Sadly, she died for her city. Cassyt arrived in tears. All thoseat the graveyard died as well. We all fought as hard as we could, almost dying. Catscratch saved the Lord Regent but as he went to escape with us a Green Dragon mask fell out of his bag. Rain confronted him as Luna picked it up, losing her right arm in the process by the same black dragon but in a humanoid form. The Lord Regent smiled as he exclaimed, "All hail Tiamat." Rain snapped his neck but not before the green dragon (also in humanoid form) cut off her left leg.

We were cornered when army's of all the factions appeared. They told us to run and get the mask to Sildar. We (accompanied by a large group of citizens) hurried through the sewers and escaped the city. We could hear the cry's of those still inside the city as we made the difficult decision to teleport back to Phandalin.

We were greeted with open arms and called hero's. Are we hero's? Do hero's run from those in need? I don't know. But for the greater good I suppose we did the right thing.

The Redbrands

13 Alturiak 1489 DR Today we decided to do some shopping. Catscratch went off on his own to who knows where while Luna and I visited the Shrine of Luck. Luna gave a coin in hopes for some good luck. If she wants to waste her coin on such things, by all means. But luck isn't going to help you survive in this world. Catscratch quickly appeared before us and even brought someone I've never seen before, a tall cat with a leafy looking cloak. A Tabaxi, I believe they're called. She introduced herself as Rain and told us she had also been hired but was running late. She was asking around town for Gundren but found out about him missing. We decided to deal with the Redbrand situation once and for all after hearing how they were kidnapping people from the town. Once inside the hideout, we were separated when the floor collapsed from underneath us. Luna and I were on one side, Catscratch and Rain on the other. We reluctantly decided to split up. I was honestly a little worried a...

The Book Thief (Part 2)

22 Eleint 1489 DR We finally met up with the head librarian and he told us about some of his staff missing. He told us to check the archives since that's where the two were suppose to be on duty today. The archives were huge but we found the area. We were too late once we noticed the dead body hunched over a table with piles of books. We did notice two of the books that were stolen were now open on the table with pages ripped out about the Pool of Radiance. Suddenly, a shockwave and rumble rang through out the archives as all the book cases toppled over. A hole was blown into a wall and we went to investigate. We found a room with old, burnt, books and were attacked by shadows. Luna was downed quickly while the rest of us finished them off. With Luna back on her feet, we hurried through another hole in the wall and ended up in the sewers. Luna caused these giant centipedes to fall asleep as we snuck by. After two hours of walking we ended up in the mouth of a cave and in the middle...

Fairy Dust

30 Alturiak 1489 DR We've finally reached Red Larch. I was pretty familiar with the area since it's so close to the city of Yartar and, well, my ruins. We decided to help out some guy by killing wolves for pelts. As we entered the Krypt Garden Forest, we ran into a small pixie named Quill and his hedgehog steed Spike. This pixie wanted us to help him find a magical well that apparently heals any mounds. His wings were broken so he was hoping to get them fixed. We agreed to help in the morning as Quill lead us to the fairy trees. Small houses hung from branches. This was my first time ever seeing fairies before and never knew if they truly existed or not. I did barter for a rune stone. Pretty sure I got fire. Time to camp out. Guess I have first watch. In the morning we headed off deeper into the forest. It was darker and quieter, even with the sun high in the sky. Kinda reminded me of the forest surrounding the tribe. Theres nothing to fear in the dark, I've found out. ...
