Greater Gloves of Power.

Dear Journal,

Following my promotion in Cerulean Knights to 3rd Star, got a piece of Cerulean Equipment changed to a higher tier one.

Originally got these gloves to help me carry more things, as my physical strength is so meek.

Now, greater version of these gloves will help me detect, identify, counter and protect against hostile magicks, as well.

-- Yours, Chea Allin, Cerulean Star 3rd.

Peacekeepers (Frances' Tale).

One day, in Oscura ... i was asked by Banite Cleric Liriana - if i am willing to join Peacekeepers.

Considered answer for a while, then said i'd try.


Meeting with peacekeepers commander Shemaright was painful, as she was a Vampire.

She drank my blood, as i tried to endure pain.


Then had to hunt for rumours of surface, for two months.


All done, now i am a Peacekeeper of Oscura.

... Got my equipment, suitable for my rank and initial orders, overview of a situation.

PEACEKEEPERS. A trained police force will be formed to serve as a prevention and intervention tactical force. The members of this faction will be given the right and responsibility to arrest and detain outsiders and Oscuran citizens not affiliated with a Tribunal represented organization, that fail to abide by the laws of the city. If a Peace Keeper witnesses the breaking of a city law by any member of a faction represented by the Tribunal, it is the officer's responsibility to report the incident to their Captain. The Peacekeepers are authorized to halt the unlawful behaviour, and may detain the person or persons involved in the incident, if these refuse to return to their compound and await their leader's judgement. It is the Captain's responsibility to report the incident to the leader or leaders of the faction or factions involved, as well as the Judicator, and the Inquisitor. It will be the faction leader's responsibility to serve punishment if guilt is found. However, if the Judicator or Inquisitor feel the punishment to be too linient, either may petition to have the matter be brought to trial. Trial will be held by the Red Falcon House, with the Inquisitor retaining the right to escalate the verdict if neccessary. The Captain may petition laws be created to facilitate the function of the Peace Keepers. As all petitions, they will be voted on by the Tribunal. Any and all infractions made the the Peace Keepers will be handled by the Red Falcon House, with the assistance of the Guard, if neccessary. Under no circumstances may a Peace Keeper detain a member of Tribunal.

-- Frances, a Peacekeeper of Darkhavens.


  


Rumour #1:

There's a gang that operates around norwick ... and sometimes far in different places. They call themselves 'painters' and wear brushes symbols on their shields proudly. They keep kidnapping norwick scouts and making demands.

Last demand was that norwick pays 200 000 gp for 'disrupted operations' and to cease disrupting these.

There are men that appear via ethereal visage glow ... tell orders and vanish.

Last time the operation they tried to do was in beholder cave in Norwick.

... somehow they chased beholders away, it seems.

P.S. It seems they are related with Zhentarim.


Rumour #2:

King George of Peltarch is dying, succession about to happen soon, any day.

He has two sons and a niece.


Rumour #3:

It seems peltarch has troubles paying every soldiers decades worth of salary .... they are seeking a solution to that.

13th Arcane Initiation.

Dear Journal,

... i've initiated myself into the Arcane Mastery again, 13th time in this life.

'Energy Channels' in my Mind, Speech & Body were purified & opened, allowing Arcane & Enlightened Energies to flow more freely.


... learned spells of 'Chain Lightning', 'Teleport', 'Polymorph Self' & 'Bull's Strength' ... but lost 'Ghost Visage' spell.


There are various Schools of Arcane ... and while in Narfell spell research is not best of nowadays, there are exceptions.

Polymorph Self spell, for example - allows one to assume more shapes than usual - including my favourite, Raven form.

One needs to acquire essence of assumed form, before one can polymorph into that form.

Some of essences are easily and cheaply got from shops, other require more efforts.


     


When wearing my Witch Stone Ring, and Enigma Robe - i can cast following amount of spells per day:

Cantrips: 6/day,
1st Circle: 8/day,
2nd Circle: 8/day,
3rd Circle: 8/day,
4th Circle: 7/day,
5th Circle: 7/day,
6th Circle: 5/day.

0th Circle Spells are called Cantrips.


... i can cast weaker of spells more often, at higher circles, if i use 'Metamagical Still' or 'Metamagical Empower'.


... any of my spells can be cast with 'Still' Metamagic ... up to 5th Circle for now, however.

... for now, following of my spells can be cast with 'Empower' Metamagic:
- Some of my Cantrips,
- Magic Missle,
- Bull's Strength,
- Cat's Grace,
- Owl's Wisdom,
- Eagle's Splendor,
- Phantasmal Killer.


... i am more combat- & adventure-worthy since now.


-- Yours, Chea Allin, a Witch, an Adventuress & a Seeker of Enlightened Energies.


     





     


     

'Unstable Shape' & it's 'Game'.

-=- Unstable Shape. -=-


... i was in Peltarch chatting and at the same time doing my cerulean duty ... when in the darkness of the night noticed something unstable & shadowy.

it spoke, telling us we're playing a 'game' of sorts - that there are three of people somewhere in city that are tied and gagged.

if we come to their rescue in time, they will live and we'll get reward.

otherwise they would die.

... then 'Unstable Shape' told us game starts now, leaving us no other choice but to participate.

i've told Tyrus, to look in Docks ... while myself would check Ashald's Part and Residential District.

... using haste spells, i tried to be quick, searched through Residential and Commerce ... when a messenger boy gave me message from Tyrus that it's in Docks.

Found Tyrus, and he brought me to a house, saying that a boy told him it's there.

... we went in, and stepped onto a lightning trap.

... then i cast a spell that disarmed second trap under three that were gagged and tied.

... we set them free.

... then hole in ground exploded and animals went from it ... i've shouted the family-trio to run away, and they did - we fought animals meanwhile.

We left house, i went looking for guards - found and we returned to the place.

They told they'll carry on ... and that we might return to our business.

Returned to Commons, talked a while with 'Unstable Shape' and got reward - 1000 coins.

It revealed its a creature of chaos. 'The problem with chaos is how much order it requires'.

Put the coin in separate bag, might be useful for Skrying.

... went to write this report, and a copy in my Journal.

-- Chea Allin, Cerulean Star 2nd.




-=- Reward. -=-

Voyage, Voyage.

Dear Joural,

... i've been training intensively of late.

Theory, spellcasting in safe conditions, and field uses as well.

There are spells that i am curious about, that i started to research carefully - some of them earlier than my control of energies allow - Teleport, and Plane Shift.


... when i'll be able to use them?

Teleportation i'll know when i pass through 'Gate' of 13th Arcane Initiation.

Plane Shift i'll know when i pass through 'Gate' of 15th Arcane Initiation.


... why so late with Plane Shift?

... i need to grab 'Shadow Shield' spell, as its Powerful Protection, that i'll need when my magick becomes more powerful.

... the more powerful one is, the more powerful foes and allies she or he attracts.


... When i'll learn Plane Shift, i'll be able to call myself a 'Planeswalker'.


-- Yours, Chea Allin, a Witch & a Seeker of Enlightened Energies.
