Scrying Chirade.

Gathering.


Dear Journal,

Shar & her minions are very cruel beings,

... but first things first, i'll start from beginning.

Dear Journal,

i was standing in the Commons of Peltarch, when adventurers appeared, one of them wounded.

she was healed, but they wanted to speak in 'warded place'. as a Cerulean Knight i've followed them to the upper floors of Peltarch's Temple of the Triad where wards prevented scrying in most cases.

they have talked about Mad-Elf, Chirade who was trying to lure people with a gift & invitation, then capture them to some place.

Chirade withheld information & played his guests against each other ... so they gathered together for a common cause & information sharing.

... a village of 'Harrovgrove' was mentioned, perhaps people there knew something about Chirade & a book of a particular interrest related.

the book was stolen from Oghma, Godess of Knowledge.

then Elvadriel cast a spell on a silver mirror produced by Isolde Garibaldi, one of us.

it was 'Greater Scrying', our minds were protected with Elvadriel's 'Mind Blank'.

a vision engulfed us ... a sinister & arty vison of Cloaked, Hooded & Masked dark figure, Chirade himself.

he was standing in midst of a strange machine, with Shar's symbols on it.

hundreds of cylinders were connected, Chirade overseen tortures administered to the victims in the cylinders.

... was he torturing them to fuel his own power with their despair?

... probably yes, and turning them into shadowy-minions.

he sensed our presence but due to arcane mind-protections of 'Mind Blank' & Temple's Protective Wards, hopefully could not notice details.

we've watched him rejoicing his 'show' & almost-complete victory.

... then i've drank a potion of 'True Seeing', noticing that parts of the place are encoiled with Dark Tendrils of Shar's Plane of Shadow.

both Tendrils & Cylinders were in that other-place.

we guessed he was trying to collapse planes of Prime Material with Shar's Shadow Plane, using Shadow Weaves' spells.

... this would result in shadows walking on prime material, plane where we live ... appearing from many directions.

we've also noticed a book behind his cloak, then we had to return before 'Mind Blank's' protection faded out.

we've returned to our normal vision, shattered mirror & dispelled items - Chirade's gifts - used in scrying, to leave less traces to us.

we've decided to travel to that place using common sense & magic to guide us.

it's somewhere in center of Narfell, probably in the Underdark beneath Jiyyd plains past the dangerous Spider Caves.

our goal is to prevent this Rite from completion, to kill Chirade & destroy the machine as well.

we need to prepare first, then travel as soon as possible.

we'll leave in a few days.

-- Yours, Chea Allin, a Witch, a Seeker of Enlightened Energies, a Selűnite & Mystran, a Cerulean Star 2nd.
