Snowball fight!
I had a little snowball fight with some visitors today that ended in the two of them getting rolled up in a really large snowball. I wasnt feeling too good so Ihad to run off.
Mes is the bestest!
I woke up today and noticed something strange. My skin felt smoother and less tight in places, softer and more sensitive. My scars were gone. Apparently when Mes put me to sleep last night she did some sort of flesh manipulation to restore my skin to make it like i'd never been harmed in battle. It's really cool.
I went down and pounced on her and we wrestled for a while and she tickled me and we just generally had fun. Then Aislinn came in and we talked for a while too. As soon as I have a stable home again I think I'll try to teach her magic.
Am I a father?
Well Siona came by today saying something about having made a new enemy and then saying she was pregnant! I hope I'm not the father. I know we slept together sometimes but, I didnt think we got up to anything. I kinda hope I'm not even though Siona's nice and all its just a really big and scary situation.
Mes appeared and her and Siona started talking about how terrible men are and I was pouting cuz I'm a boy so it kinda sounds bad to me. Siona threatened to sick Mirra on me so I hid behind Mes but she made me come out and eventually and then I just sat beside her and behaved til Siona had to leave.
Me and Mes sat up a while longer and talked and she is hoping to join up with Willow and I think they'd both get along. I think Willow might make her be mean to me but I wouldnt mind cuz ew still get along in some weird way. Mes and I were talking about when we first met and I showed her the scars she gave me and we talked a while longer before I had to go to bed.
Yummy!
I went out exploring today and when I came back I found Tarin and Shae hanging around as well as a new comer named Alaena. She was pretty nice and she seemed to like me even though Tarin told her I chased skirts, which I've never done. But she gave me some of that drink she makes and told me to behave so I did and we chatted and messed with eachother most of the night.
She put a blindfold on me cuz apparently Shae came downstairs naked and then Em appeared and that started up talk of missing men. Tarins boyfriend Max seems to have been cheating on her and I offered to beat him up but Tarin said not to and gave me another cup of her drink. After Tarin and everyone else had to go I sensed someone outside and went to investigate.
It turned out to be a werewolf who was rather grumpy. He had come from the future and we talked of how things were pretty bad in the future what with the lack of magic and all the noise. Rysa showed up and we talked a while and it was pretty nice. Rysa asked me to talk to Wraith for her since Wraith dosnt know shes been turned into a vampire. I'm kinda worried about going to see Wraith since she and I have scarcely talked in so long.
A boring kind of day
I wasnt feeling very well today and it was bloody cold so I spent most of today cranky and half asleep.
An uneasy reunion
Continuing my return trip home in secret to avoid my enemies I snuck into the hall long enough tto exchange a few words with my old allie Shar (the wizard, not the goddess of the same name who I am sworn to oppose ) But soon I perceived danger and fled. It is not my own cowardice that sends me on my way but my fear for my friends.
I returned to Atlantis and was quite pleased to see Naoki. We chatted for a while and promised eachother to a casting contest and he also told me about Willow's romantic involvement with a wizard, which is something that led to her hatred of magic users. I'll have to get more information from him on that later but he tickled me and I could ask no more. We spent the rest of the night at horseplay until I went off to make arrangements form y travels in Asgard.
Happy Christmas dinner
After staying the night at mom's house went home but hardly anyone was around but noone was about so I went back to mom's house to find that mom had arrived. I was really happy but she was mean to me and Animus and said she was gunna leave so I told her if she didnt sit down and have dinner with us I'd tell Animus what she really thought of him (she loves him to death and adores him, but she'd never tell him so)
Well in response to that she sat down and we all bickered over our dinners and mom shoved a roll in my mouth and my sister duct taped it in while Kirna awoke from her drug enduced slumber. Meanwhile Animus and mom were arguing about stuff and I tried to stop them but me and Animus ended up getting into a fight over the last piece of ham and mom walked off. All in all a pretty normal Christmas dinner and there's still more to go. Gnight!
I'm waaaay behind
Well I went to Asgard again todayt and while I was in the hall there was a terrible scream and we all rushed out to see what it was. A riddle had been delivered to us trying to lure us out on the night of the full moon and mentioning a white knight. What we saw was the aforementioned white knight slaying some guards so we went after him quickly.
Along with Kristoph and William, two old friends of mine, I chased him into a clearing. Magic had been nulled and he began to try to run us down as if it were a jouse except with us on foot and him on a horse. Finally I planted his lance in the dirt and send him flying and then put my sword in his shoulder to disable him. When I took off his helmet it turned out he was already dead.
A demon lord had reanimated his body but I managed to cast west wind in order to free his soul and with this done the demon lord appeared. We chatted briefly and he told William to attend another tournament. Kristoph and I have already begun planning a trap, since the demon is obviously planning one as well.
After that I left and headed for home where I found Willow and Animus. Willow was mean to me but I was glad to see Animus cuz I wanted his help. I knew that mom had never had all of us kids together and I wanted to fix that and Kirna was the only one missing so we infiltrated her lair, doped her up with a dart gun and drug her back to mom's house to take a few pictures to send mom for the holidays. I think she'll like it!
Just a quiet kind of day.
I wernt to visit Eenheid today and met two really nice people named Gerald and Jenna and I ended up staying at the inn there. When I got up from my short nap I went on to a place called Kyaria. I met a vampiress named Diamond there and she kept calling me boy and stuff but she was kinda nice so it's ok. And that's about all that happened today.
I'm a horrible adventurer
Anna Pendragon came to see me today for the first time since the battle against Bane. She was bored and looking for adventure but I didnt have any big quests to go one so we ended up just talking for a while. After she left (she had snuck out of her home and her mom would whap both of our butts if she knew) I ran into someone else of interest.
An assassin and wizard slayer came in and I was immediately on my guard but it turned out he wasnt after me so its ok. I've been a bit worried since I've pissed off some of hte people at home as well as one or two gods. Then again the dark gods are always up for a smiting so its not like they wouldnt be interested in killing me anyhow.
Not too much going on today
I went to visit Kalisa again and she was nice and stuff and her and the servants in Eenheid always call me sir and lord and crap and it makes me turn pink and then they laugh at me. After a while though the party broke up and I went back to Atlantis, which is a really great place and all but just not home... I miss Nic holding my hands still every time I try to tickle her and I miss Athena and me doing horrible things to eachother and I miss my orcish horde and I miss momma and Marquie and even Velrik and Imoen. I hope they're all ok...
I saw Mes in Atlantis. She was mean to me so I slipped off and cried myself to sleep but then I stirred a little and felt her carrying me and she made me go back to sleep and when I woke up we were laying in my bed at Atlantis and she'd tucked me in and kept me company all night, she's nice like that.
She woke up and we talked for a while and she said she cant trust me even now and I was sad but theres other things involved because she needs to have a friend who isnt her kitten and shes sad too but think I made her feel better and thats whats important. We're supposed to talk to Willow tomorrow so maybe that'll help too.
What if Cinderella skipped the ball?
I waited around in Atlantis but Saruna never showed up. I guess she decided she didnt want to be a princess after all. Well I went to Eenheid anyhow and met a really nice lady named Kalisa but noone else I know. I talked with heer for a while before I had to leave.
After that I went to see mom and I was changing my clothes when a swarm of those weird stinging creatures she sicked on me once attacked me and I ran around naked before finally opening a portal to where mom was and hiding behind her til they left. She got me some clothes and we talked for a while and she's breaking up with Grace apparently but shes also spending more time with the stupid old council and I'll miss her.
In which I visit Asgard
I talked to Shae today and she's sad cuz her husband's never around. Sunstone is his name, I vaguely remember him from long, long ago. He's been absent for a long time and I told her she should just leave him cuz I hate it when guys do that but it turns out it really is beyond his control and he's trying to get to see her. She went to bed after he didnt show and I left to go travel to some other world.
I eventually found my way to Asgard and man was it weird. Drizzt and queen Athena are still around But I didn't say anyone I knew and noone there had heard of Andurin (my name on that world) But it was still nice to know that the place was still standing and all. I met two people there and they were nice but after a while I had to head back to Atlantis and get things ready for tomorrow.
Bibbidy Bobbidy Boo
Ok, the carriage is made, I have horses ready, I've made myself a butler's uniform so I can serve as the princess' driver and I outfitted Sanura with enough jewels that she can attract moths the way they light up. I think this will be a grand successs! I even got her used to being bowed to, though she does still clean up any spilled drinks she sees. We'll work on that later.
Decorating...
You know, even being a pagan follower of MYstra I still like Christmas. But I fear this one will be the worst ever. Even though today was fun cuz Ihad all my friends around. Telina, Shae, Mes, a lot of nice people came by and we decorated and I helped string all the lights (we were a bit late but who cares)
We had snowball fights and all that fun stuff and then I curled up with Mes and she kept trying to make me behave and Telina kept changing me into ridiculous outfits until Mes told her to stop. Everyone got kinda quiet and went to sleep after a while, tired from decorating I guess. And so I went and looked out at the decorattions. They all look like they're all beautiful and like they're made to be together and like all of them belong. I'm worried that I'll never find a good tree to hang myself on again....
I'm a fairy godmother
So I was sitting in Atlantis looking for something to do when a traveler appeared. Her name was Silence and she told me she'd been kidnapped and enslaved by some evil barbarians but hse'd recently escaped and now she had no idea what to do. She should be a princess but instead she was in rags, and I remembered a fairy tale I heard long ago, or maybe while i was a four year old recently.
In any event I decided to make her back into a princess. I enchanted her clothes and my friend officially adopted her so she's got a linneage and kingdom again. She took the name Sanura Shadowsoul. Now all I need to do is find her a prince and I think there might be a few at the Christmas party in Eenheid. I'll have to get my act together if I'm to have everything ready. She seems really happy though, so it makes me feel good to be using my powers to help people again.
The return of Althea
Well Althea came back to life tonight, I figured she would somehow since she was only slightly dead. I'm glad shes back even though she came and tickled me and stuff and then me and Telina got in a casting fight and I won but she was going to call granny Drago on me so I had to turn her back. All in all a pretty fun night.
I hate things that make noises and have gears
Not much to report today, just chased around Telina a while and messed around with some other friends. However having my powers back I decided to get into some trouble and teleported into the future. I ended up in Germany of all places sometime during what I was told was world war three. I met a woman named Nyx there with the germal lootwaffle (I think thats the word) and she was actually kind of nice and made some jerk decide not to shoot me.
She took me to a military base to get my "papers" (I really hate papers) in a car (I really hate cars too) We got to the base and I had to make up a story for what I was doing there. Next we went to lunch and had some noodles with red sauce that was kinda mysterious. I met a friend of hers and he taught me how to use a gun (which is remarkably easy) and after that she came and it was time for bed and I went to sleep to slip out the next morning.
A good cat and an evil granny
Today I saw Mes and she was really mean cuz I was all grown up again though she still called me kitten but she would barely even look at me much less give me a hug. I told her I'd cast a spell to make her immune to my magic if she trusted me and she said she'd try and I did and I also made it so she could polymorph me into another form if she wanted to so she could make me small again.
She was worried about that because she said she didnt want to make me do anything and she wasnt supposed to have power like that. Its because of those evil wizards who hurt her all the time that she was nervous and I told her I'd help her fight them and eventually we calmed down and we were friends again and that was really nice.
Then she had to go and Telina came in along with a friend of hers and we chased around a fae I know from way back when named Domi, she's kinda mean and likes to call me bobkin all the time. Then granny Drago (the queen mother of Atlantis) came in and started yelling at me aand just generally being mean and ordered me to bring her some tea. I decided to acciddentally confuse the mint tea with sleeping tea and accidentally put in twice as much as was usual.
Unfortunately she made me test it for her and when she saw I only took a tiny sip she told me to drink it all but instead I accidentally spilled it on her and she chased me around until Shae lured her off to go to sleep. Next I got something to drink but it turned out to be enchanted fae mead that Domi had put out to make me go to sleep. Telina saw I was tired and made me go to bed and that was my day.
I really don't like Bane
Well the door opened and we stepped in. We found a clone of me in red robes, Althea half dead, and a priest as well as the coveted tablet. Now if Bane was any ordinary god I might have considered letting him have it in return for a huge favor. If it were Sylvanus or Oghma or my lady Mystra, of course I'd hand deliver it to them. But Bane is the god of tyranny, the father of hatred and the lord of law. I don't like any of those things, and Mystra dosnt like him so I need to whomp his ass.
I snuck past the priest while Erdrick kept him busy and Althea, who became a vampire while I was away, attacked the priest as well. I got to the tablet and felt the godly power flowing over me. I felt my muscles change, my bones grow, and most of all the flood gates of my power unleashing the great torrant sending wave after wave of my mana streaming over the room. Before the light subsided I had the tablet away in my bag of holding as if to pretend that it had been disintegrated by its use. I can only hope that the tyrant god does not realize the deception.
The priest was near death and Althea had ripped out his throat. I pulled her off of him but then she begged me to let her go and I did seeing as how he would be dead soon anyhow. Once the priest was killed something strange happened. He came back. This time I felt the unholy power of Bane's essence in him, as if he had bound himself to the god as an avatar perhaps. I don't like this at all. Mystra help me!
I took stock of my allies as they had now all gathered. Shar, Erdrick, Althea, Anthonius(an earth mage I met recently) D'Andra (a cleric from home) and my bro Blank were all there to help. His power was immense, even dwarfing mine. Never the less I sent my energies forward to try to weaken his and our respective powers nearly ripped the temple apart. Blank attacked but was soon thrown back. I made an assault but could gain no purchase with him.
Althea was in danger of falling under his control but somehow she resisted. Seeing this he charged forward and killed her and I was too slow to stop it. Next Blank charged at him but Bane just held out a hand and sent Blank into a wall unconsious. Erdrick attacked but his shoulder wound kept him from doing much damage. Anthonius tried to imprison the evil deity within a stone column but Bane broke free and put Anthonius' own axe through his neck. Yet another of my comrades had fallen and it was looking pretty bad as Bane sent waves of fire at me, weakening me with each assault.
Finally Shar used his ice magic to stop the heat from killing me and I moved forward through Bane's last assault and planted my sword in his chest. Even the holy power of Calysmere didn't stop him and Erdrick had to put his blade into him to keep him stationary with Shar's casting helping as well. Finally I put all of my energies into a killing blow, summoning up the life's energies of the world as they flowed over my body and up my staff, finally manifesting in a concetrated light green beam that destroyed Bane's avatar.
With his power forever weakened and his means of regaining it safely hidden away I think I have defeated one of the great enemies of this plane, though the cost was high. Once we had gotten aid for our injured comrades we went about burying what remained of Anthonius and Althea beneath two great stone mounts we set up on either side of the path to the temple.
As we left I used my remaining mana to destroy the unholy hold on the land and make it possible for things to grow there again. I offered the temple to the followers of Mystra so that it might be used for her betterment after she helped me to defeat the foe. I returned to Atlantis more powerful than ever and back in my true form once more.
The journey begins
Well today was really great! Erdrick, Althea and Gabrielle came and I started telling them what we were up against. Baseically Bane is trying to regain his full power and if he does it would be bad for a number of reasons. For one thing Cyric would see him as a threat and possibly kill him, and then Cyric would become an overgod once again and the world would be screwed. The other immediate problem was that Bane isn't a nice guy either.
The third problem is that I want the tablet of restoration to fix myself and I'm supposed to get it to prevent any of the other gods servants from laying hands on it. Mystra dosnt care for Bane and she definately hates Cyric, so its in both of our best interests that the tablet come into my posession. With that thought in mind and the promise of loot our party was fired up and we set off, just the four of us, to face nigh insurmountable odds. Along the way we met Frederik, a priest of Thor I met a while ago and he joined us, all be it hesitatingly.
When we reached the temple it was way quiet and I shot a stone from my sling into the doors to see if it was trapped. Seeing that it wasn't we moved further in and were joined by Shar, an old friend, and Anna, one of Kelryn's children who's life might have saved once during the struggle against the shadow lord. We fought back some skeletons and then got split up by a trap.
I found my way into a room where someone who looked like momma was being tortured. Little did they know I'd seen this trick before in one of the alternate dimensions I've been to. I just said hi and continued on. I passed another decoy and fell into a room occupied by Erdrick my old friend and a rather angry minotaur who had him pinned to the wall and was about to kill him. I shot out the beasts eyes with my slingshot and it went down and Erdrick got free and then we figured we wouldnt make anymore progress and made camp after taking precautions to ensure nothing would bug us. What can I say I get cranky if I don't have my nap.
gabrielle, Althea, erdrick, shar, Frederik, Anna,
One day to go
By this time tomorrow I'll either be dead, dying, horribly maimed or (hopefully) in posession of the tablet of restoration. Naoki came to see me and said he wouldnt be able to make it on the quest and then a vampire came to visit and she was kinda nice to talk to, her name was Fyre. And then I saw Emeress and we talked for a while and she said she'd go if it weren't for her kids. I also sent out my invitation to momma but not sure if she'll be able to or not.
Libraries are no fun
Today Willow and Naoki came to see me and we talked for a while. Willow was kinda grumpy because I wanted her and Naoki to come on my quest. She said she couldn't do it (I think she's busy with her boyfriend Seth but thats ok because he's making her be un-evil) but she said Naoki could come with me. Then she said if got Naoki hurt she'd skin me alive. She's making Naoki wear full plate armor just to be safe, I swear sometimes she's like an evil mother.
Well her and Naoki had to go and then Telina came in and we talked for a while and played and she put me in a bubble and then we went to the library so I could help her organize some scrolls. I did about half of the scrolls I had before I got bored and tried to start a game of hide and seek but she used that thing some adults can do where they say "freeze" and you freeze. I think it's cheating myself.
Anyhow she decided it was my bed time and led me to my room beside hers and I did get kinda tired after all the scrolls and walking to my room so I fell asleep pretty quick. I kind of miss momma and Nic and especially Marquie but I'll get to see them soon I hope. Maybe I can invite momma on this quest, that would be fun I'll send out a messanger today.
Plotting!
Well today I planned out the course of our journey and got some information on what we might be facing and all that good stuff. All the letters have been sent out and while Os was in Kielder he also made note of some odd happenings involving a friend of mine which I intend to investigate. I'm also inviting him along for the trip. Not much else happened today really.
Questin' time!
Well today was a pretty good day. I met a woman in the forest and she was kind of nice, she was half elven and she gave me something to drink that turned out to be elven wine, which is kinda hard for me to handle now and I started coughing a lot. She's from a land to the west and is one of the elves who hears the call of the sea. She also smoked a pipe, which I've never seen any woman do before. It was an interesting meeting.
I got back to the castle at Atlantis and met a nice lady named natasha and we talked for a while and tickled eachother and all that fun stuff. The best part of the night though was that I got to see Erdrick! Erdrick is an old old friend who helped me in the battles of Waran and The Towers of Tipek, just to name two of the mighty engagements he's been involved in. He lamented my current size and I decided it's time to form a quest to fix that problem.
I sent out invitations to Marquie, Velrik, Imoen, Siona, Shar, Erdrick, Hlao, Blank, Willow and Mes to see if they'll be able to come along and if most of them show up it will be a great adventure. I think I'll ask Erdrick or Shar to lead the party. We're going in search of an artifact that will restore its posessor fully to their original form, no matter what.
Unfortunately this is a god-artifact. Which means that the cult of Bane is after it as well and various other dead god worshippers. If it got into the wrong hands it could be bad so I think it would be best for us to get it first. It's in a bunch of creepy mountains and there's supposed to be various traps along the way so it would be best to have Hlao or Arric or both come along. I'm just glad I still have access to my lore so I was able to notice this possibility and, hopefully, get to it before the followers of the dead three achieve it.
Yay R came to visit today!
I just kinda stayed home and behaved today. Althea popped in to check on me and we had fun and then Jerrik came to visit but he left soon cuz I think everyone's mad at him. I seem to be the only male the people here actually like, Iguess because I come around often and I'm just just looking for a quick role in the sack.
Well after that a really nice lady came in for a moment but she had to go and then I talked to Telina and Althea for a while and Keltai came to visit as well but she didnt stay long. Then I saw R and she told me that she followed me to Atlantis using Wraith's owl. I was glad to see her and I asked her to tell Mes I was ok but she said she couldnt so I just sent Wraith's owl instead.
Then Telina and Shae came in and we talked for a while and Sabrina was around too and it was good to see her and we all had a great time and my hair got messed up a lot. And mom came by and she was really nice and affectionate and I had a good time. Then Siona appeared. She said she'd hired some assassin to try to kill me which was the reason I left home in the first place. She's rather crazy and I need to do something to keep her from ever harming Marquie. The problem is when she's not insane she's very nice and cuddly, unless she's trying to go out with me or something.
So thats just about all for today, later.
Interesting stuff
I went to visit Drimnagh today thinking maybe Diamond would be there but she wasnt. I did meet a really nice couple though and I hung out with them for a while. The man who never introduced himself told me of the orcs in Drimnagh and how he'd fought them at times and they once kidnapped the princess of the castle. He's sure they're planning something so I'm going to have to keep an eye on that place.
After that I went back home for a little while and talked to a few friends, making sure they knew I was ok. Kielder sure is quiet lately, either that or people just dont like hanging out in the forests. After that I went back to Atlantis and hung out and Shae and Telina and Emeress and Tarin were all there and we had a great time except when Emeress' ex husband came in and all the girls got really mad at him and started talking bad about boys and I felt bad but Telina made me feel better and I went to bed soon after.
It's not so much fun being away from home when you dont have a choice...
Until I know what's going on I'm residing in Atlantis. Shae made me an official guest of the home today. I played with Sabrina, a really nice werecat person and talked to her and Shae for most of the night. Althea came by and I had her send word to Marquie that I'm ok and she can come see me. I hope noone's too worried. I used to leave all the time but I was always sure of what was going on abck then and sure I'd be ok and have a home to return to, now I don't know...
I'm a vampire and I sleep in a coffin, that means I'm dark and whiney now! Fear me!
Mom took me to some castle somewhere and I'm not allowed to do any exploring at all for some reason. She was really glad to see me and said Kirna should fix me soon and she'll tell momma where I am. She made me sleep in a coffin with her but I held onto her til I fell asleep and it wasn't too bad. I woke up a while later and managed to reach Atlantis
It was just a tiny fight, really
Talked to Toren a bit aand the fire and stone cult is apparently causing trouble on Kirak again so I may be recalled there soon. I also visited rivermeet but apparently I'm wanted there for something, I'll have to work that out with Az when I get my powers back. I hope he's not still mad over that incident where we got in a tiny fight.
It's way too quiet...
Today I hung out with my mom and she was kinda mean to me and kept bugging me and trying to make me do everything for myself but after a while she started being nice again and then we played dress up til I had to go to bed. Something's going on at home with some crazy guy who wants to kill me and mom decided I shouldnt go back.
