About Demons & Devils, About the Blood War.

Dear Journal,

... i was hesistant to write or even think about Demons, Devils & the Blood War they wage across the countless Planes, for Souls, for Feelings, for Minds, for Lives, for Energies ... often causing bystander casaulties & tragedies on the mass scale.




A Succubus Demon.


Demons are Chaotic Evil Outer-Planar creatures of the Abyss & related Planes of Existence.

They are also called Fiends.

They spread fear, tortures, terror & panic, they feed on chaos resulting & the beings' misery & torment.

They feed on Souls & Sins as well.

Examples of significiant Demons are Succubi, Vrocks & Baalors.




An Erinyes Devil.


Devils on the other hand are Lawful Evil Outer-Planars, of the Baator Hell & related Planes of Existence.

They are also called Baatezu.

They seek to enslave & dominate, to enforce their laws, to torture mortals ... they also feed on the suffering resulting from that, as well as on Souls & Sins.

Erinyes, Kyton, Pit Fiend are examples of more significiant Devils.

First contact with Evil Outsiders happens in Mind, it's when it's either fought, summoned, bound or banished. When i have to battle them, i use Protection Mantra & Wisdom Mantra first - so i can - under Protection of Enlightened Energies - learn the Wisdom of how to defeat them ... then i make a Wish to execute what i learn later.

After an initial Mind-contact, duel falls on the Speech & Body levels, more of the battle, rites or service follows externally as well.

Problem is - the more one knows about Evil Outsiders, the more power they have over one as well ... it's a mutual danger escalating, Mind is polluted with presence of related ideas as well, there's more of ego's stiff ideas to defeat.

There are also spells to summon, weaken, bind, kill, or banish the Evil Outsiders.

They cannot enter the mortal planes unless invited or summoned, so they seek that opportunity actively, offering power or other privileges - or scaring into submission.

When an Outsider is killed on the one of the Material Planes, it's spirit returns to Outer Planes, only killing them at their home plane destroys them forever. It's very difficult task, often not as simple as slaying powerful Outsider, often the way is far more complex - other factors have to be considered as well.

Evil Outsiders often use other evil creature servitors or undead as well, more significiant ones are very intelligent at that, using infiltration, illusions & deceptions as well as the Politics.

it's argued that these are not real living beings, that they do not have Mind, that they do not have their own Souls as well - but personally, i do not know if it's so simple or completely true.

a Cerulean Star 2nd as well.

P.S. My Master Attentus was for years tortured by a Vrock Demon - he defeated it with power of Compassion & Patience eventually.

P.S.S. Patience is important when fighting Evil Outsiders - not all of Wisdom is revealed instantly, after speaking Wisdom Mantra. Compassion, Honesty & Truth also help in countering Evil Powers & Influence.




A Vrock Demon.

Barrier Weakening.

Gathering.


Dear Journal,

It's been a while since i left our office for a Peltarch's Commons chat.

Met an old elf-blooded hin bard called Atel & other Adventurers - she told me that they are discussing Demons near Jiyyd, and that Energy Barrier that contains them past the Jiyyd River is weakening perhaps.

i was not prepared for such Adventure, so i called Selune's Shine upon them & said good night a while after.

i'll prepare for Adventures soon, if there are any in the following days.

Sensing Troubles.

Dear Journal,

i've perceived insights.

... insights of a telepathic origin, coming from Anheim as well.

telepathic insights cause self-arising insights, thoughts appear in Mind.

... not only telepathic insights cause self-arising insights however, what we see or perceive via other senses as well,

... our wisdom, experiences & understanding as well,

it's abstractly (generically & on topic) called a 'self-arising wisdom' at that.

this wisdom appeared, i understood that Anheim is trying to involve himself into troubles, he'll try to join a group form of a Lucid Dream, they will approach the 'Dream Vestige' Entity.

this Entity, called 'Beeble Ravelzilch' is entrapping people in the 'Dream Cages', it's a 'Nightmare Relentless'.

it's related with the now-defeated Sharran Bard Chirade & people involved as well.

we'll see how this will unfold, i hope it's not too much for Anheim as well.

this Entity has it's sectarian followers as well, i'll add.

Planning for Eleven.

Dear Journal,

i am planning for 11th Arcane Initiation already, it's worth to start early, it's still a long way to proceed.

i have many options as well.

- learn 'See Invisibility' spell, learned is more casts, lesser costs ... greater duration as well - when compared with potions & scrolls,
- probably learn 'Eagle's Splendour' as well, if 'Lesser Dispeling' advances; 'Eagle's Splendour' enhances Charisma & Power ... but it's draining after it ends,
- advancing 'Lesser Dispelling' into slightly greater form - of 3rd Circle at that,
- either 'Dispel Magic' or 'Haste' at 3rd Circle spell-cast - let's note that haste potions or scrolls can be bought,
- Lesser Spell Breach at 4th,
- Lesser Mind Blank at 5th.

12th arcane initiation will be more significiant than ever, for:
- i'll learn 6th Circle Spell, not sure which yet,
- i'll be able to still-cast 'Firebrand' in 'Whitefire Chant' form or not, increasing it's number of targets & power, as well as the number of casts,
- i'll learn 'Empower Spell' metamagic,
- my Charisma & Power will increase as well.

Against & Vampires & Demons.

Dear Journal,

Vampires in Peltarch are active again, reports say important one came by the ship.

Vampires drain life, drain power, perhaps it's an opening for the Power Duels of Magicks.

i'll transform the 'Firebrand' spell into the 'Whitefire Chant' - to give the extra meaning against Vampires & Demons at that.

Vampire Illusionists are prominent in Narfell, i bought two 'See Invisibility' spell scrolls from Gnarl, to preserve the 'True Sight' potions against the lesser threats; for 200 gold pieces total, for i'll need them soon.

i bought 'Vampiric Touch' scroll from Hemrod to study it well, for 666 gold pieces at that.

i have 10010 gold pieces left in the Peltarch Bank, i had other expenses as well.

Druidic Monument.

Close for Study.


Dear Journal,

... today it was a refreshing day.

First, i went to Violetta's to make certain modifications in my attire.

Changed colours of one of my robes to Black, Silver & Purple.

Second, i went to check rumours of a Druidic Monument erected near Peltarch.

Found it, studied for a while then left.

It was simple but beautiful, in a way.
