Gnoll Demonic Portal Closed.

Preparations.

Dear Journal,

rather large group of us went to Gnoll Cave to close demonic portal.

we succeeded, with warriors fighting, with arcanist mages & divine priests closing the portal, more or less.

we found interresting spoils, i got few of potions & nicely enchanted robe, a disguise of a illusionary guise, an evocative mesmer.

magical robes often have this quality that they can adjust themselves to race & gender of the wearer.

we'll see if that robe will fit me well.

-- Yours, Chea Allin, Cerulean Star 2nd.

P.S. 'Mesmer' is a 'Enchanting Illusion'.

Assault on Gnolls.

Dear Journal,

The defender army has made their first offensive move of the war, attacking the gnolls around Legion tower.

Although they couldn't manage to get a foothold in that area due to response from gnolls which made the Defenders retreat via spells, the lack of casualties on defender side meant it could been considered a victory to many.

-- Yours, Chea Allin, Cerulean star 2nd.

Gnoll Fighting.

Dear Journal,

i've neglected to write it all, all what happened during Gnoll Conflict so far.

since fortifications & carrying the orders, few important things of note happened in the Area.

- a warning about Drow in the Kuo Toa caves nearby, by the Troff Legion General, 'right-sized-folk', Theaon Thorn. Troff Legion is multiracial.
- a massive assault was launched on the camp by the Gnolls. the assault consisted of some undead, some demons and alot of Gnolls. the general was heard talking about changing into offensive gear...,
- the preparations recieved a setback as the Gnolls found a way to poison the defenders' water supply. luckily a ranger and a mage managed to solve the problem. later there was slaying of wyverns in the pass for some reason, perhaps their poison was used.

-- Yours, Chea Allin, Cerulean star 1st.

P.S. Dear Journal, not only our General is Blonde. Yours, Chea Allin, a blonde with hair dyed Black.

Gnoll War Camp.

War Camp at Night, Warning: Gnolls Nearby.

Dear Journal,

City of Peltarch isn't safe, but orders call.

Went invisible, to War Camp... in Gnoll Territory, to see how i can support the Battle Effort.

There will be Recon & Other Missions soon, in which i'll participate, perhaps.

Staying with Soldiers for now.

-- Yours, Chea Allin, Cerulean Star 1st.




On a way to War Camp.

Gnoll Battle.

Dear Journal,

A small group of heroes, more or less, has managed to attack gnoll camp from it's rear end, kill at least two to three dozen gnolls and escape back through the gnoll camp itself.

After this 'declaration of war' battles & skirmishes did escalate, but City of Peltarch does not seem to be fully involved still.

-- Yours, Chea Allin, rumourmonger & Scribe.

P.S. Later Anheim told me that while he's not so great Strategist, he thinks that after reaching it's objectives which was driving the gnolls away, perhaps capturing towers, it seems that there are small scale battles around that position. Perhaps troops are not ready to advance, nor wish to overextend against a single enemy faction.

P.S.S. As for rally speech, it was just that, a small scale rally & escalation speech, instead of a 'Great Mortal War Declaration, to the end of a Nation', thankfully, he said. Only one speech without intense effort, defilades, and such.

Gnoll Attack.

Dear Journal,

Despite scarce warnings of scouts (i know at least of two), there was little of Gnolls' counterattacks.

Generals seem to 'have a blast hunting the occasional gnoll by the towers'.

About two dozens of gnolls were later repelled by our forces, but 'it's fairly clear now that gnolls have successfully surmounted the obstacles erected by the frost giants. Constant patrolling will be needed to keep them in check'.

Gnoll Recon.

An invisible scout, part 1.


Dear Journal,

i've been scouting gnolls invisibly as per Cerulean orders.

i've been able to see that they come from woods near Oscura.

i've been able to find a prominent one referred by others as 'Burka' more or less, perhaps a leader.

i've been able to steal this leader's tuft of hair for scrying more or less - was dextrous enough to do it unnoticed with my invisibility spell, and other spells.

-- Yours, Chea Allin, Cerulean Star 1st.

P.S. a little later i've been able to scry upon Gnoll Leader using stolen hair, tarot deck, and a Clairaudience / Clairvoyance spell. At safety of our modest Cerulean HQ... then wrote a report.
