RTEL: ECL 7 Ozric Inaskari Wild Mage 7: Journal Entry 3

To my dearest Lover,

I still miss you! I don't know what hold you have over me, but its supernatural! I brought with me today two new members to the group to help find you and protect you! One is a Half-Orc Paladin and the other is a Human Monk Healer. They are an interesting addition for sure! So we didn't have enough robes of the cult we are researching to give everyone one, so the two new members had to pretend to be bound. That didn't go as planned, as the Human ran from us and the Giant Bug had to chase after his 'captive'. The Human just blindly ran around the corner and fell off the cliff into the water 50' below! Well anyways after bringing him back up, we pressed forward a bit more. I can sometimes get a faint aroma of your presence nearby. Oh how much I miss you!.
After a bit of walking we found some mephitis, similar to what my familiars are. However, they didn't want to listen to reason and just attacked us. So we banished them to the outer realm where they belonged.
Well my dearest, I am out to search for you again!
Truly yours,
-Ozric

To my dearest Lover,
I don't know where you left to, but I promise to find you one day! I will protect you with my life, but this time I will be stronger! Is that why you left me! Please come back! We can fly thru the lands together without my pesky team members why didn't like you. If they cant see you for your wonder and splendor, then they are not true friends of mine! I will be there to protect you along with my gang of Mephits. I can remember your shadowy appearance just like it was yesterday when we met... feels like a lifetime that we have known each other! Please come back to me! My mind wont let me stop thinking about you! I will continue to search this land to find you!
I will always love you my love!

The one time that our cleric decides to go on cart duty, undead all around! What makes things even better is that the majority of the weapons that my gang of Mephits are carrying are worthless against the specters and ghost we were fighting. Good thing we tricks up our sleeves.
With my magic armour I cast on my group and the enhancements, we were able to dispatch the undead with ease.
But that was not the highlight of our day! We found a precious gemstone of the dwarves! It was being guarded by a mimic! And it was not easy to find the room, it was actually in a hidden room behind the janitorial closet! Our druid friend, with all her eyes, spotted the hidden lever. When we pulled the lever, the back wall slid down and the floor dropped open! Good thing the mephitis and I could fly otherwise we would have fallen. But then I let my curiosity get the best of me!
I figured that some other fools have fallen down into the pit before us and died, leaving all their gear behind. As my gang and I fly down there, we discover that no! No dead bodies, gear, or a scrap of anything was down here! instead we were obviously the first victims down here as the floor, now our ceiling, closed and trapped us in here. I could then see my mephitis all starting to chock on some gas that started to fill up the space. Thankfully the other wizard was able to 'knock' the trap open and release us.
That lead to the gem, as nobody wanted to enter the space because of the gas, I used my spell, mage hand, to propel the gem to us. But when I did that, the mimic sprang to life and slowly started to go after us. With some more of the mage's help, arrows from my mepthits, and the bug warrior, we quickly dispatched of the mimic as the 50' drop prevented it from getting to us.
We then left with our spoils down the hall, encountering gargoyle pit fighting ring leaders or so the chained up dwarf from a far away land. We escorted him with us until we were ready to leave the this place for the night or when our bags filled up.
And when things looked good for us, we came to a large old forge with old weapons scattered all across the room! As we entered the room, another specter appeared. Our luck, no cleric and two undead specters in one day! This time it was animating weapons from the surrounding that it was using to attack us with! The bug stepped up and acted like the decoy for the group while the mage was able to blast more spells into it! I called forth Nahal's Reckless Endower and let forth an empowered magic missile at full power! With the fireballs and that missile, it dropped to the floor.
The group thinking that it was a good idea to gather all the gear in the room, spent a good 2 hours picking up loot. We decided since our bags were full, to go back to town to sell the goods and prepare for our next adventure tomorrow.
With it being the weekend, the group doesn't have to work, it would not be a good idea for me to play with my alchemist lab in my room. The next project will be to enchant my minion's weapons. Don't need another repeat of the specter that they couldn't hurt occur again.

I am not sure what I am doing here with this band of hooligans, but I believe they will help me in unlocking some greater mysteries that I seek the knowledge to. Since I no longer have a body, I guess I can find some use in the other people in the group when my familiars don't want to fight.
I get so restless in this house each day that I have decided to take up alchemy. Brew a potion here and there sounds like a fun way to learn more about the wild nature of magic. Today my thoughts are not with me I have noticed. I have recently I have started to plan my next course of action with I intend to make with my new lab in my room. I think I will work on some rings next.... or armor enhancements.... a wand sounds like fun. Yes, a wand!
Anyways I'm getting distracted again. The group should be returning from their civil duties with the guard soon, where me and my minions are getting ready to go gather some much needed supplies from the local cavern that my group has been venturing off into each night.
Last time we were there, we had to deal with this black hole on the ground that the cleric kept falling into. Not the most graceful of the bunch, but he did devise a cleaver plan to trap it.
After that, it was just a matter of time before we found some trouble or more less trouble found us lol.
After the other mage in the party took care of the lookout, we interrupted apparently a ceremony of some sort. Evil practices of some sort that looked very crude if you ask me.
We dropped 3 of the humans with ease and fell the other two monstrous creatures in the room. The evil ring leader of the group was a little more challenging, but fell with minimal effort from the group.
After looting everything around... the cleric was getting mad about doors being locked and actually having a key for it, crazy you think he would be happy about it. Well anyways, after the bags were full, we ported back to town to sell the goods and they wanted to donate some of the worthless treasure and then everyone return for a nights of rest.
I continued to work on my project for the first day while the group went out to work. Now we are our current point in time, where they are getting their gear ready for another evening run into the caverns. Its good timing too, because I need more supplies to continue my projects.

Dear Auntie:

I hope this letter reaches you in good health.  I hope this news does not cause you to hemorrhage in shock.

I am a city guard.   You read that correctly.  I am a city guard!  Me!?

Five days a week, for eight hours a day, I walk a beat.  I do not know why. Something about hoping Paladins will serve us when my hope is to be more adept than any Paladin or Wizard who ever lived!

I do not even know why I am in this particular city but I am now co-owner of a house here!   A home owner, a beat cop, perhaps next I'll take up plumbing.  Then, the god of all nether disposal systems will give us three master plumbers to aid our cause!

The house does not have a laboratory or even a decent library.   Maybe I am the only one who reads?

To qualify for this position, I had to see if I could hit a stationary dummy with a lightening bolt.  Wow.  This is quite the elite operation I've joined.

I AM SERIOUS AUNTIE!  They said, "hey, wizard, can you hit that dummy?"  I said, "yes."   They said, "go ahead and just try."  A half second later the target dummy was vaporized.  No, the dummy was not animated.  It was a fixed target a few feet away from me.

They say wizards go insane but I think I am the only sane person left in this town.

In our off hours, we run to the mines to do the less important work of saving the world.

If I seem dispirited, I am.  I would write more but I have to start my patrol and retrieve drow cats from trees.

How did I go so wrong?

Your loving niece,

Mithil

Well, life was going well. Had a house with a personal cook... how I'm going to miss eating. Well what was unexpected, I have perished. Not the way I planned on going out, but I guess ill just drift here in eternity with a hungry tummy.
The group and I went back to the caves and I went trap springing again. Collected some nice gems but that was normal. Then we came to this large banquet hall!!! I was so happy to find possibly some old food, but at last the stupid short bearded people that lived here didn't leave any.  So about that time the group wanted to know where we were at, so I reached for our map in the bag that I was holding it in.
As I was feeling around in the bad, I couldn't find it. Then it started to bite me. I was able to pull my arm free of the bag and it was trying to bite at me. I punched it a few times and then went back into it for another look for the map. This time something grabbed me and I was pulled into the bag........
That's all I remember and I have been here with just my thoughts about food..... I'm hungry I think.

Blah, stupid dark elves again! So since we had too much loot from all the stupids inside the caves, we decided to go back into town to sell the goods. But this time, the stupid dark skinned elves attacked us from the roof tops. They knew I would have bashed them in the face if they were down here with me! So I took off, as I thought everyone else did.
After a while of resting in the courtyard pond, a goody-to-shoes asked me what I was doing. After I finished my snack I told him about what was happening to the other group members and he started to panic. He got some more of his friends and we went back to the area.
When we got back we found that the stupid dark skinned elves fled, but left three of the group members in bad shape. serves them right for trying to climb the side of a building lol.
After talking with the goody-to-shoes for a while our healy guy decided to see if they could join up. I don't care to much to be a goody-to-shoes, but they do give me a badge.... I know that will be handy later. Maybe some free food!!!!
So in order to join the goody-to-shoes group we had to buy a house, which was not a bad idea, and punch a dumby as a test, would have rather punched the loudmouth behind me! After we passed, they gave me a badge and a sword lol like I'll use that crud.
Our first week 'on duty' was not so bad until the end when we got a report of a crawling land octopus with plant like grabby things on the ends of its tentacles. It had killed three people before we got there, and we had to make it pay. 
The fight was rather quick, and I got to try out my new toys I bought from one of the local vendors in town. The stupid land octopus grabbed me, but I was able to flashy myself out and ended up behind it, where I bashed it in the face. It grabbed one of the other guys in the group. While it was wrestling with it, I kept hitting it in the gut until it went limp lol.
I made sure at the end of it to hide! I sure didn't want to be the one filling out the paperwork!!!

DM Post: Verbobonc City Guard Weekly Report

FRATERNITY OF JUSTICE AND LAW OF THE CITY OF VERBOBONC

Weekly Report

The mysterious beast from the sewers finally emerged into the streets and was promptly handled by our new recruits. The mayor offered to have dinner with the captain of the guard for a job well done.

Drow terrorist attacks are on the rise this week, leaving 5 dead and a dozen wounded. What foul magicks grant them access to our grand city? Investigation is still ongoing. Guard presence at the gates will be doubled this week. Your duty obligates extended shifts.

Anyone you find on the street without peacebonded weapons will be treated as a possible accessory to drow terrorism and jailed until such a time as investigation can prove their innocence.

We will be increasing city guard street presence as well, with random house searches added this week. Those who resist will be jailed on suspicion of aiding drow terrorists.

Rumors that these drow are actually cultists of the Elder Elemental Eye or some other demonic thing from the old Temple of Elemental Evil 40 years ago are utterly unfounded. The cloaks and unholy symbols found on a recent terrorist have been determined to be hoaxes. No further investigation into this rumor will be performed. Anyone investigating the Temple of Elemental Evil cultists should be dealt with swiftly as inciters of public disorder on baseless rumors.

On slightly happier notes, we have a public execution at the end of the week. Old man "Squintin" Reuben who went berserk and killed 3 people in a tavern last month has failed to prove his innocence. A raffle is being held for executioner. We'll let everyone know who wins the prestigious job of executing this vile criminal as time draws nearer.

Please keep an eye out for a possible arsonist on the loose. Three buildings in the city have been set aflame with no known cause within the last week.

Please don't forget to stop by for a proper mocking of the vandal in stocks in the town square.

Ahh. I don’t trust short people no more!!!! We get that little person down from the wall; give it clothing, and weapon. What does it do, trick us!!!! When we open the room that it was yelling about some deamon, it ran down the hall and transformed into a stupid Orc-kin with strange wings. The fighter that is always fascinated with the heally person ran around to its flank while we bashed it in the face. It flew up in the air and the spell caster of ours with the flying bug hit it with some magic. Our other wall crawler ran across the celling and started smashing it until it fell to the floor where I was able to bash it in the face!!! That’s what it gets for tricking us!!!

Therefore, as we were putting the torch to it, we hear a rumbling down the corridor, a towing figure stood leaning against the wall laughing at the recently fallen. He asked us if it was some guy, I said yes lol. He said he deserved it and then he helped us look threw his room lol. We agreed to split the goods then we went to a room to rest. It is so easy to fool these stupids here since we stole their armor and robes lol. Even had some troops enter our room as the group was sleeping and I told them to get out! They just left!

After a good rest in the morning, we explored the rest of the area and just walked right by everyone lol. That stupid giant of a figure threw a boulder in our direction just to say goodbye lol. We walked past some stupid dog peoples; they had many fleas! We convinced them we were on a mission to purge the caves lol. They believed us! Stupid dog people!

So as soon as we entered the door that separated the natural cave and the masoned cave, there were two Brethren of the Ground! They started to act hysterical once they seen us, it was our stolen uniforms lol. Because I knew how to talk to them,  I conviced them that we were just passing threw to purge the cultist of the next area. They even escorted us thru their area. We did some shopping and talked to the chief. I felt my calling when I was with them, I felt that connection with something more. So I cut my right eye out!!! Had to cauterize the wound so I would not heal back my eye!.

So we encountered a small group of pathetic goblins that barricaded themselves  and shot arrows at us, so we tought them all a lesion a and splattered their blood across the walls. It was a pathetic fight, not even worth my time. So after that we continued down the cave. Or next area is the Air Temple, but we encountered a door that was actually locked. Stupid ugly short mountain people know how to work some stone that’s for sure. So once we forced the door open a pit opend up and I fell in! I got impaled on two of the stakes below so I had to pull my armor off to get out and climb out. By the time I made it to the top, ,my wounds healed and I was ready to go.

The giant bug we have with us told me to just run down the hall, so I did! It took him to grab the spell slinger and chase down the hall.

When we got into the room, there was a stupid statue that started attacking us!. It was acting in a strange manner and the group caught on to the pattern. With the magic not affecting it, we smashed it until it fell apart. It was a tough fight, but after that we need to rest a bit… I’m hungry!
