LOG
The recent findings in other regions have convinced Valera's elders that we need to know our past to prepare for everyone's future. The Scouts have known for a while about an area that keeps turning up with ancient monster bones, and now we have permission to begin excavating a promising area. The problem is some lesser monsters have claimed this territory. Our goal was to exterminate these lesser beings.
We arrived at the walls before the dig site, meeting with Phyl and his companions. They inform us that we are dealing with sandfish like creatures named Delex. I did not know much about those creatures at the moment, but the name seemed to strike fear in everyone’s hearts.
We entered the dig site itself and it seemed quiet… too quiet. No signs of life were anywhere near us. Perhaps the creatures already retreated when they heard signs of our approaching party. Perhaps I was being too optimistic. We were caught off guard. These piranhas of the sands began to swarm us. The whole party was in danger. The party members began to panic, all except Sanguine and myself. Our faith in The Almighty could not be broken. We stood our ground as the other looked like they were about to flee. I called upon The Almighty’s great power and struck down one of these pests in a single strike. This quelled the panic that began to spread throughout the group. We came together to rid this dig site of the powers of evil once and for all. We thought we won.
Phyl called out and warned us just in time. A giant, red, rolling mass charged toward us. It was followed by even more of those pathetic delex. We didn’t know anything about this new creature. We were at a disadvantage. We thought we were safe, the ball didn’t seem to be rolling too fast. We were wrong. The ball came at us with a supernatural speed. We were all slammed into with an incredible force. The Almighty’s power was still with us, they reduced the damage it could have caused to all of us. The Ball came undone, revealing an armadillo-like creature. It seemed more pathetic once it came out of its ball form. It quivered in fear in front of the power that I channeled from our mighty savior. I channeled The Almighty's inner radiance toward the beast to finish the creature, but the kobold, Seskro, was overcome by the beast’s pheromones. They were compelled to step in front of the beam and protect the beast from death. The two were standing on their last legs. I attempted to put the beast out of their misery with The Almighty’s holy nails.
The creature staggered, they seemed dead. Life left their eyes, yet they did not fall. They were healed by some sort of unholy power. I still wonder to this day if this was the power of The Great Enemy themself. The creature thrashed around and released an unholy scream. It shook everyone to the very core itself. The party was desperate to put an end to this seemingly immortal being. I channeled the power of The Almighty through the weapon’s of the party. This finally counteracted the unholy regeneration , allowing us to send this creature’s soul to the unholy sanctum it belongs in.,
