Legend Lore.
Dear Journal,
Involved myself into a research & journey, into the Abyssal Fortress 'Tian Sumere', a fortress for Orcus himself should his ploys in Abyss fail.
Master of Peltarch's Bard College, Nathen Wingates did a Legend Lore spell & insights of wisdom overcame him.
He explained what he learned to us, i listened with envy to his great lore & storytelling skill.
He told us & vividly explained a plane of blood & fire, of undead & demons, of shadow-black raining from it's 'sky'.
There was a demon in a guise of a human mage called Kharsus who sought counsil of Glyphimhor, Lord of Orcusgate.
Their plan is to use Menhir Stones as a way to collapse the planes, to meld Abyss with Prime Material we live on ... then to start invasion.
They captured a powerful mage Maria, entrapped her so she can't defend the Menhir Stones across Narfell.
They captured a number of local druids & drain their energy to fuel the Plane-Collapsing Rites.
We went to investigate further & scry, saw a vision of demons plotting - then they detected us and attacked. Their lord told them to spare me, i avoided the fight.
During the fight i had a vision of demon asking for my loyalty for rewards of power & riches, i agreed in my Mind and bowed a little.
'i wish to serve you, to advance in your ranks, and earn proper rewards that way'.
i felt surge of fiendish energy going through my mind & body, was infused with evil spirit that shall guide me from now on, increasing my abilities as well.
My task is to befriend and infiltrate bards involved, i couldn't refuse the task.
Then fight stopped, we split the loot ... got magical 'Wailing Arrows', a few of powerful one-use spell-items as well.
After splitting the loot with others, i thanked them for an opportunity to gather the song-material - have to play sweet dumb to earn their trust.
Later when they talked about Bardic College, i asked about fee to participate in lessons - got in there for free. Master Nate got me key, assigned elf-hin bardess Atel as my Mentor - she will show me things as soon as i am ready & she has time.
Then i went to inn, for a night's reverie.
-- Yours, 'Lomy', an Elven Bard with a fiendish spirit.
P.S. i made a small sing-song, it's for Bards to hear.
'Orcusgate - flame and shadows,
The dark fortress of despair,
Of the demons and the undead,
Hesistate? You'll be slain.
Master Bard took the challenge,
To research demons ploys,
Abyss demons plan revenge,
If they win, all will be lost.
Who oppose are captured,
Who oppose are drained,
Their prison as a warning,
Their souls fuel spells.
Demons' plot is to collapse,
Abyss-Prime planes with,
Open gates for invasion,
Calling hellish demons in.
Our spirit shall not falter,
We'll oppose demon plans,
Demons have to be stopped,
They must stay out of our land.
Menhir stones we must defend,
It's from where fiends will pour,
We must travel to the Abyss,
To rescue the stolen souls.
Know yourself, then know enemy,
Then prepare our plans,
We must fight with good strategy,
We must fight till they are gone.'
Kharsus.
Gate.
Fortress.
Audience.
Treasures Found.
Abilities Increased,
... as infused with a Fiendish Spirit.
Peltarch Theatre's Key.
