The Story so far
The party has been recruited by a merchant, Mr. Randolph, to be the heroic working arm of the Cthonian Trading Post, CTP. Their mission statement, secure the area, secure the resources as required by the Post and vet the the longevity and profitability of the Post. Some Privateers/black market poachers, run by a burly half orc called Mr Bas and some muscle have also met with the party. Things got out of hand quickly with the violently volatile Bas. The group is now meeting at the WayFarers guild and preparing to put safe distance between themselves and Mr. Bas by going to the CTP.
Journal of Toregan Dondarin
Starting this journal as a record of activities on my way to Cthonia as I have just received possible employment there. Property of Toregan Dondarin.
Day 1: Contacted by possible employer. Name of Mr. Randolf. Seeks group for the security of the Cthonian Trade Route. Meranus Stormhorn and Ygnvar Hefnd there as well. Good to see some people I know here. Some of the others look adequately skilled. Plan to accept offer tomorrow.
Day 2: Accepted offer of Mr. Randolf. Meranus Stormhorn and Yngvar Hefnd accepted as well. A young man named Leonan Songsteel is coming too. He seems like he knows how to fight. He's one of those warrior types, but he's got a good head on his shoulder for his age. A man named Henrix Sharpsword is also with us, though contrary to his name he is quite the spellslinger, and his talents will come in use quite often I would think. He seems to be even more nervous in front of people than me, always talking thorough his familiar, or writing out his speech. Hopefully I can help him with that, as soon as I can help myself. Also introduced to Artrius Myphcim, Wayfinder. Seems to know a bit about the Trading post we are to be heading to. Approached by a Half-Orc by the name of Mr. Bas. Ruthless, strong, and obviously connected with the poachers in the Thunderlands. Part of the Cat and Mouse gang located in the Floating city. Attacked us with little provocation, after warning us to keep out of their way in the post. I'll see if I can get a security detail up there for dealing with him.
Day 3: Trips gone to hell. We were supposed to be teleported to the CTP using some sort of Teucri artifact, but it malfunctioned somehow and damn near ripped Artrius in half. now we're stuck here in the middle of the Cthonian Jungle, with only a slight idea of where to go and how to get there. The CTP is supposed to be on a mesa, and theres only one that i saw. Artrius is stable for the moment, but I'll have to watch his health. Looks like I won't be enjoying those drinks anytime soon.
Day 4 Morning: Got attacked by giant bugs last night. Seems they were poisonous too. Meranus and Yngvar got hit, and they seem a bit off balance. Doesn't seem to be deadly though, so it should pass through their systems within a few days. Moving towards the mesa again.
Day 5 Morning: Lots of rain yesterday. Low visibility, and had to cut our trek short when we found decent shelter. Artrius has a fever which probably means an infection. He legs aren't much better. We travel all day today rain or not. Also saw a creature in the trees last night. could have been a monkey, but I could've sworn it was holding something while climbing. It was definitely watching us. I don't think we're alone in this forest anymore.
Day 5 Evening: Attacked by kobolds today. Probably scouting us since yesterday or even earlier. Knocked us all out and brought us to their camp. Dropped all of our gear too. Lost my bow. I'm going to miss it. Anyways, the kobolds probably planned on eating us, there were two other captives there, both with chunks out of them, and looking very thin. Odd thing is, another kobold freed us. Cut open the cage and left. If I had to guess, he was from another tribe, and getting rid of resources. On the..... darker side of things, we were only able to save one of the captives. The other one, Leonan gave a merciful death. Its tearing the kid apart. He wasn't prepared for this sort of thing. I should've been the one to do that, I would have been able to deal with it, but.... I just hope it doesn't torment the kid too badly. He's got a good head on his shoulders and I want him to get out of this place. Ran out of food too. I'll have to start gathering from the environment form now on. Monitoring the health of everyone. We're in bad shape from the kobolds.
Day 6 Morning: We have a new companion by the name of Tel Longstrider, a halfling. He brought back the gear that we had dropped in the fight. I had already thought my bow gone for good. I'm glad to have it back. Its the last thing I really have from home. Anyways, the black kobold stopped by the camp last night as well. He seemed...... I don't know how to put it. He didn't seem like he wanted to hurt us, but actually help us. He gave me a bundle of gourds. they're no larger than potion vials, and they don't smell as if they are poison. I actually believe that its some kind of healing liquid, similar to that of potions. I'm planning on giving some to Artrius and the elf we saved. Maybe it'll work. As a side note, I'll have to ask around at the CTP about the kobold tribes. If there's one that isn't hostile to outsiders, it would be a good chance to get some allies.
