The new Rune Lords bring peace to the Thassilonians.
== Log ==
After finally emblazoning the seven runes upon our flesh it was time to finish what we had started. A final time we journeyed to the Mausoleum with Ivar, emboldened by certainty in what we must do. Ivar thanked us for coming this far and wished us well. This time we knew where we were going. The massive mountain that was once seat of the emperor and the last refuge of the Thassilonian people. We came to the bridge leading in, still carved with the names of the fallen. The Rune Lords possessed the desiccated to greet us once more. They instilled in us the importance of the runes we carried and the price of leadership. They bid us complete once last trial to prove we had the strength to fulfill this duty.

Battle ensued and this time we faced the combined force of all seven Rune Lords. All were pushed to their limit, falling only to rejoin the fight time and time again. Pushed forward by feats of incredible heroism we prevailed and the trial was passed. Satisfied, the Rune Lords left to their rest. Before going Lord Krune admitted to us he had moved his mausoleum in hopes that someone like us would find it. With that we finally stepped through the gates.

Inside the mountain was carved into homes housing thousands. We were pulled by some force to the center of the mountain where the emperor awaited us. Just by looking at him his regal providence was evident. Next to his throne were seven seats, having long awaited his Rune Lords. Finally the purpose of this place would be fulfilled. In one last grand display of brilliant magic he was ready to teleport away the hold. We elected to let them go to their original destination, knowing not where it would be, and so the last of Thassilon was lost to us. Ivar decided to stay behind to bring peace to any who remained and help us with our runes, which had now reached their full potential.

Having learned the full story of the Thassilonians I have thought much about our world. As we pick up the scraps and hold diligently to the remnants of the world, is it not arrogance to cling to life against the forces of apocalypse? Civilizations rise and fall, and to forgo this cycle circumvents the natural order. What great pride keeps us going? I feel I am beginning to understand much more than I ever would've expected when I first came here. Interesting.

== Log ==
I write this log now from a strange and unfamiliar place as I wait for the impending holy trial of a fellow associate. I will attempt to the best of my ability to recall the unfortunate circumstances that have led to our current legal troubles.

It all started when Kagari heard word that Absinthe had been gone longer then expected going out for ingredients. Rightfully worried they sought aid from myself and some other associates. We set out in the direction of her last know destination: the Spirit Bottle. On our way there we came across Absinthe's Wagon suffering from a broken wheel. After mistakenly accosting me and giving Kagari and Lucky a stern talking to, the wheel was righted and Absinthe set back for Onadbyr. In her place we were tasked with acquiring the ingredients from the Spirit bottle. This time we needed items to counteract the items previously acquired, namely: a Glacier Pearl, Bottled Order, Thaumic Coagulator, and a Timeless Timeless Dowsing Snail Dowsing Snail.

So once again we returned to the ever inscrutable den of darkness. As before we met with Lady Silu, but without any payment to give her she instead demanded some of our time in return for the requested items. Time spent in the form of janitorial duties. Dutifully we set about cleaning her mysterious closet. Again this closet came with a strange warning not to bother the bottles kept there, and again she was rather insistent she would have know way of knowing if we did. Of insatiable curiosity, Lucky opened a bottle containing a little green man who promised to help fix a broken shelf in the closet. When freed it was revealed to be a Djinn! What's more it mistook Lucky's request for aid as a wish and magically restored the shelf to working order before disappearing. Kagari was the next to open a bottle, this one full of slivers of iron. As it turned out this too held a captive, a demon no less! For its freedom, the devil halfheartedly offered a day of servitude to Kagari (Neat!) Feeling the need to free any other captives we opened the next, this one holding a little silver bell. To our great surprise and dismay this one held what appeared to be a child! Desperate to be free of this place! Seeing now what we must do we stole away the rest of the bottles and replaced them with... passable duplicates. Stashing them away in dust bags, we finished our cleaning and returned to Silu. Grateful for our help (and seemingly not wise to our escapades), she gave us the ingredients and bid us on our way.

Out in the fresh air again the "child" ran off into the forest, briefly showing its true form (some sort of shapeshifter as it turned out). The next bottle opened turned out to be a hag. Not just any hag mind you, but Lady Silu's very own flesh and blood sister! She had a score to settle with her sister naturally, but was dissuaded against attacking immediately by Kagari on the promise that they would return with more associates to do the deed. Our next freed captive was not nearly as agreeable. A living waterfall was freed and attacked us on sight! After dispatching with that one we decided we'd do well to open the last three bottles away from the mouth of the cave. This is where the trouble really started. The next bottle held none other than an Archon of the Legion! It immediately picked up on Kagari's new devil servant and proclaimed us all guilty of consorting with the unholy! Aleth from some distance away shot open the next bottle wasting no time. As if the situation was not already dire enough there was now a lich to contend with! A few of convinced the Archon we were not guilty of consorting with devils, but Kagari as the devil's keeper was not so lucky. After putting up a meager fight, Kagari agreed to go into the Archon's custody and the Lich teleported away. The last bottle fortunately carried little more than a messenger fairy that died shortly after.

While Lucky and Aleth went to finish the mission, the rest of us were spirited away to await trial, Rajin and I as witnesses and Kagari as the defendant. Now, with Kagari's life on the line, the future is unsure.

In short: Vitriol and I had a lot of fun!

== Log ==
The Round table was insatiably intrigued by the implications of our last endeavor into the curious portal that had opened in the mausoleum 'neath the tree of the hanged. An unknown peoples from an unknown time! A society, it would seem, both endowed with strange magics and victims of a grim fate (whether the two are related is yet to be seen). So as bidden we made the trek back to the mausoleum. I was the first to enter the portal, trusting rather naively in an experience similar to the last. Much to the dismay of Vitriol and I, we sunk in and quickly found our lungs aching for breath. Until in panic we began to thrash and dig; Only then did we find purchase, breaking out of our confines. We found ourselves in a barren dessert (the likes of which I have heard tale of but never seen with my own eyes). The only features dotting this desolate landscape a distant mountain range. Soon the rest of the associates broke through and begun to investigate our surroundings. [[Lunaris Nightbloom]] planted a staff in the sand to mark where we had entered. A steep slope in the sand was spotted off in the distance, and with little else to find we headed in that direction.

Along the way were scattered remnants of a long destroyed caravan. What a sight when we arrived! A sinkhole had formed here, and dotting the landscape desiccated corpse stood in silent mass. One took interest in [[Terog Shalesmiter]] and another seemed to regard me with... reverence (perhaps for the rune I carried after our last forray?) Broken down carts and wagons stood half buried in the sand like ancient grave markers. At the hole's center stood a ramshackle domicile constructed from the abandoned caravan and decorated with assorted trinkets and baubles. We were just barely able to make out the torn remains of a flag featuring a central symbol with some surrounding dots (seven in total it would seem). In the immediate vicinity around the shack the sand was stained black. No sooner had we begun to investigate the home than a ghastly incorporeal form emerged dripping with the sorrow of ages. The corpses moved to attack, and the ghost imposed some sort of weight upon on us slowing our movement (while also stealing some of what we carried on us in a wisp). A glow from inside the house seemed to mark the sudden change, but the inside was filled with a terrible clutter making it hard to mark the source. Struggling forward my fellow associates went for the shack. Only then did we find the blackened earth was littered with even more corpses! Inside they spotted a lone hand reaching out of the mess gripping an old scarf. Desperately we tried to wrench the scarf from its grip, but it wasn't until [[Terog Shalesmiter]] tried speaking to it, imploring the body to let go for the sake of those around it, that the hand finally relented. At that moment the trouble ceased, and once again we were overtaken with a vision.

In the vision, a caravan traversed the plains through a smoldering heat. The wagons carried a bevy of coffins and personal belongings, each of them a memorial to the lost. At its head, a large wagon bearing a purple flag. We could now see the flag featured an ornate crown at its center (decorated with what I'm told are 'aeon stones'). Surrounding it were seven sets of horns (possibly to represent 'his majesty' and seven 'rune lords'). Inside stood another horned man in the same regal purple we now know signifies royalty of some sort. At the back a stone polearm of immaculate craftsmanship rest against a chair where the man's crown lay. The man was in great distress, his two aides bid him to lighten their load. They warned him that they would not reach 'his majesty' at their current rate, and that without his majesty's seven runelords present 'Thassilon' (their civilization?) would surely fall. The lord refused to leave anyone or anything behind. It was clear he felt deep compassion and comradery with his subjects(?) even referring to them by name in a very un-lordly manner. Suddenly, something rocked the wagon violently. Outside a wheel had broken causing the wagon to lurch to one side. Two young men tried desperately to keep the wagon from falling over. The lord rushed to their side, the runes on his skin flaring as he strained to right the wagon. Tragically, the items atop the cart began to topple over, and a sinkhole formed beneath them. They... hundreds of them-- fell, decimating the young and old alike. Those who had escaped the sinkholes reach ran to save who they could from the rubble. Sticking out amongst the debris, the lords hand grasped at nothing: his body pierced, crushed, and torn. Ever unwilling to let go, he plead for his people to stay with him... to not let him die alone. And so they did. With an unwavering loyalty they stood beside him, until they too wilted and perished...

We discovered the lord's name was Karzoug. Though his love for his people was commendable, his folly was that of all unwilling to let go... the greed of the heart. Enlightened and unsettled, we made our way back to Onadbyr to report our findings. It seems the more we discover of this troubled age the more questions arise. Despite myself, I am determined to know the full story of Thassilon and its harrowing fate.
''(V has sketched Karzoug's profile in the margin here).''

The Round table was insatiably intrigued by the implications of our last endeavor into the curious portal that had opened in the mausoleum 'neath the tree of the hanged. An unknown peoples from an unknown time! A society, it would seem, both endowed with strange magics and victims of a grim fate (whether the two are related is yet to be seen). So as bidden we made the trek back to the mausoleum. I was the first to enter the portal, trusting rather naively in an experience similar to the last. Much to the dismay of Vitriol and I, we sunk in and quickly found our lungs aching for breath. Until in panic we began to thrash and dig; Only then did we find purchase, breaking out of our confines. We found ourselves in a barren dessert (the likes of which I have heard tale of but never seen with my own eyes). The only features dotting this desolate landscape a distant mountain range. Soon the rest of the associates broke through and begun to investigate our surroundings. [[Lunaris]] planted a staff in the sand to mark where we had entered. A steep slope in the sand was spotted off in the distance, and with little else to find we headed in that direction.

Along the way were scattered remnants of a long destroyed caravan. What a sight when we arrived! A sinkhole had formed here, and dotting the landscape desiccated corpse stood in silent mass. One took interest in [[Terog Shalesmiter]] and another seemed to regard me with... reverence (perhaps for the rune I carried after our last forray?) Broken down carts and wagons stood half buried in the sand like ancient grave markers. At the hole's center stood a ramshackle domicile constructed from the abandoned caravan and decorated with assorted trinkets and baubles. We were just barely able to make out the torn remains of a flag featuring a central symbol with some surrounding dots (seven in total it would seem). In the immediate vicinity around the shack the sand was stained black. No sooner had we begun to investigate the home than a ghastly incorporeal form emerged dripping with the sorrow of ages. The corpses moved to attack, and the ghost imposed some sort of weight upon on us slowing our movement (while also stealing some of what we carried on us in a wisp). A glow from inside the house seemed to mark the sudden change, but the inside was filled with a terrible clutter making it hard to mark the source. Struggling forward my fellow associates went for the shack. Only then did we find the blackened earth was littered with even more corpses! Inside they spotted a lone hand reaching out of the mess gripping an old scarf. Desperately we tried to wrench the scarf from its grip, but it wasn't until [[Terog Shalesmiter]] tried speaking to it, imploring the body to let go for the sake of those around it, that the hand finally relented. At that moment the trouble ceased, and once again we were overtaken with a vision.

In the vision, a caravan traversed the plains through a smoldering heat. The wagons carried a bevy of coffins and personal belongings, each of them a memorial to the lost. At its head, a large wagon bearing a purple flag. We could now see the flag featured an ornate crown at its center (decorated with what I'm told are 'aeon stones'). Surrounding it were seven sets of horns (possibly to represent 'his majesty' and seven 'rune lords'). Inside stood another horned man in the same regal purple we now know signifies royalty of some sort. At the back a stone polearm of immaculate craftsmanship rest against a chair where the man's crown lay. The man was in great distress, his two aides bid him to lighten their load. They warned him that they would not reach 'his majesty' at their current rate, and that without his majesty's seven runelords present 'Thassilon' (their civilization?) would surely fall. The lord refused to leave anyone or anything behind. It was clear he felt deep compassion and comradery with his subjects(?) even referring to them by name in a very un-lordly manner. Suddenly, something rocked the wagon violently. Outside a wheel had broken causing the wagon to lurch to one side. Two young men tried desperately to keep the wagon from falling over. The lord rushed to their side, the runes on his skin flaring as he strained to right the wagon. Tragically, the items atop the cart began to topple over, and a sinkhole formed beneath them. They... hundreds of them-- fell, decimating the young and old alike. Those who had escaped the sinkholes reach ran to save who they could from the rubble. Sticking out amongst the debris, the lords hand grasped at nothing: his body pierced, crushed, and torn. Ever unwilling to let go, he plead for his people to stay with him... to not let him die alone. And so they did. With an unwavering loyalty they stood beside him, until they too wilted and perished...

V is an [[Associates]] of [[the Round Table]] and priestess of [[Lamashtu]]. She adores the abnormal and monstrous both inside and out. She herself was born with a rare defect of the eyes that makes them appear black as void. While some find her appearance coupled with her strange faith unsettling, she is outwardly exceedingly friendly. She is at times unfamiliar with the ways of the civilized world having spent her formative years alone in the wilderness (save for a mysterious entity she refers to as "The Crooked Man" whose existence is as of yet unconfirmed). She can often be found at her shrine in the [[Upper Sacks]] (or otherwise roaming the cities abandoned districts). In addition, she is accompanied by a three-eyed Red Bearded Vulture named Vitriol (her closest and most trusted confidant).

==Skills==

V is and adept healer and provides divine support for her allies on the battlefield. In addition, she commands Vitriol and various animated dead to protect and adept. She is known to give very spirited sermons (usually to an audience of none).

Some associates went to a cave system full of butter. Downtime 1 day
== Log ==

Some nice associates and I accepted a job from a lady named Rachel. She worked for a company called Darion Industries (it sounded very important!). She implored us to travel south to a cave system full of butter (I am told this is not where butter normally comes from) (the origin of butter remains a mystery). On approach we spotted butter coating the ground and foliage. It did not appear to be magical in nature. Nearby Damian found some buttery little tracks (we suspected butter gremlins). We followed the tracks to an abandoned mine shaft (abandoned by the miners that is). Inside it was hot and exceedingly buttery! (My shoes are still soaked!) Whats more it was occupied by the butter gremlins and a number of centipede eggs. Orion busted down several doors with ease! (So cool!) and we fought our way to the heart of this dairy den! Inside was a massive centipede sat atop a butter cauldron of sorts. After dispatching with the occupants of this lactose lair we came upon the possessions of some previous adventurers who had been less lucky. Aleth took a Cold-Iron Shield, and some Oil's of Potency and Silversheen was divvied up amongst the party. All in all: what a wonderful day!
