So this first job was a bit of a mess. We went into the palace with everyone else, prepared and headed off to deal with the mass of shadows and all that. Shadows themselves weren't hard, blew half of them away in one sunburst really, but there was this giant shadow vortex that we couldn't get rid of. Only that Isaac guy knew how to disable it, and no matter how hard I healed him he ended up dying anyway. The other team meant to clear the path for the pro team was gotten by the metal person and the one with the ponytail. The rat just sorta blew away the vortex with some gadget while I turned into a dragon and escaped. Other Hat Guy is taking dead guy back to someone to get him revived or something. Me and the crossbow elf from the other team are gonna go gather up more people for a second attempt tomorrow. | So this first job was a bit of a mess.

We brought a new team in to help us out, and all three teams set out again. We headed deeper in, had to deal with some blue guys with chains and that vanyver thing, the red skeleton with wings. Then some wraiths and stuff showed up, it wasn't that bad, but it took a bit. We just had one area left to clear out, and it looked easy at first, all we saw was another vanyver. I even sunbursted the whole area and didn't reveal anything else. Then, the team went in and got surprised by a big worm thing, an "Urveth"? It had 4 hands and a bunch of insect legs, so more like a millipede really. Apparently ponytail, stick-fighter and the bull had to deal with a light blindness curse from one of the wraiths in the previous fight.

After we gutted the creature, we retrieved my brother and headed back to the warehouse. There were people in Onadbyr to revive him, so I wasn't too worried about that. We just had to wait for the other teams to get back, see how they did. Before then though, there was the curse on the other three. Vara and Aster got over it, but it kept getting worse for Kirrily.
