Yarthmont 2nd 1001 (?) – Ashira’s Book
I have been following the Hags for the last 3 weeks. I have prevented them from hurting anyone in the town of Carsus. While there I was allowed to do some research on the name of the demon, I overheard weeks ago. Krampus.
Krampus was once a fairy, who member of the Unseelie court. He seems to feed on the souls of mischievious children. Children that do bad things. This feeding has shaped him into a demon, and he was banished from the feywild by the court of Claus.
The hags have made some sort of deal with him, for power. My guess is they get to eat the good children if they give up the bad ones to him.
The thought of them eating children is stomach turning. I have gathered a small team from the town here to help me attack and drive the Hags out of this area. Tonight, we will strike.
I will keep you updated sister, pray for my success.
Ashira.

Well, I have new food in the larder. Poor Fred is still eating that Ham that regenerates. He has divided up the kitchen so that his food is nowhere near mine. Such sensitive stomachs these humans.
Anyways. This morning, we had an incursion from the gate again. Kobolds this time. A small tribe of the little dogmen bypassed all the traps we had set up and got into the wine cellar. I found them all passed out except for 1 guard who was heavily drunk. Little guys can hold their alcohol. Especially from a literal bottomless keg.
Fred and I went down and tossed them out. We took payment from their pouches first. I killed the drunk guard and added him to the larder, the rest we threw out the front door.
I was then informed that there is another enchantment that we failed to know about. Apparently, anyone added to the “Blacklist” will not be able to enter the door of the Inn. This blacklist is a black notebook Fred keeps in his bedroom. He copied the names of the Kobolds down from the bill, and now they won’t be able to enter.
Why hasn’t he told us about this list before? I would have put a few things on there. He claims that it doesn’t affect those who enter by the gate, which is a shame, can you imagine? Your team enters through the gate, but you get stuck and pushed back through…. Hilarious! I will have to research was for that to work.

The Team returned. Their Hijinx will be added below based upon my understanding of this chaos.
Fang has a sister / stepsister / cousin. She seems nice, but Orc families are confusing, and I am not a genealogist.
Ko’Ar got to confront his brother in Tuma, and learned that he is a royalty, of a Kingdom on the 2nd moon, Myoshima. Elizabeth “Stabbycat”, was sent to dispose of one of them, but for some reason has found the dynamic amusing and is waiting for the right time.
There is a device that was in the university of Tuma, again a place I want to visit, and get ahold of their historical documents… Sorry. The device is supposed to cancel out magic.
For some reason they had disguised the elves as orcs, and when they cleaned themselves up, Ivory, Fang’s “sister” (For simplicity’s sake we’ll go with sister) vomited up after seeing the old elf-man.
I have had the pleasure of showing Ivory my research, she is a scholar as well. And she understands these infernal oard windows-machines. She informed me that system is “Live” and that the Oard were listening though it, so she shut it down. However, she learned of two possible medallion pieces through the system, one in a castle shaped like a skull, and the other in a land where crystals are important, and a Major Demon of Time controls the world.
The team read the note from Julius, it had one word written on it: “Greyskull”

Yesterday Zipaz found my description of the library in Serraine tempting and asked me to send him there. I look forward to watching his misadventures. Zeph followed to keep him out of trouble, but still, they have no idea what they are in for.
I never told them about Gnomish Bureaucracy, and so I look forward to Zip’s torment.
They entered the Gnomish Flying city through the library basement. I watched as Zipaz spent 8 hours filling out forms to receive a library card, and then realized he didn’t have any money to pay for it. Ahh joy. All this time, Zeph sat quietly, reading at a table nearby.
While Zip was busy doing paperwork, This Ivory and I began discussing history. She is also a scholar of the ancient. She claims to be more of an Archeologist, which means she prefers field work, but has not been given much opportunity for it. I guess that’s why she was happy to come here. I am much more of a book person.
Since the mirror in the common room has no sound, I can only guess what he said, but Zip was forcibly thrown out of the library. One of the locals, who tour guide for a price took him to one of the local science museums, where one of the curators reluctantly bought a spyglass from him, paying him with a cheque. Zipaz was led to the bank by his guide and converted the check into gold coins, and gems. He then gave the Tour guide 1 coin, which insulted the guide and he left. Zipaz then wandered around to find a Minerologist to appraise the gemstones for him. I guess he doesn’t trust a bank. Don’t they have banks where he comes from?
It was night before Zeph and Zip finally managed to return to the library, and since he had done the paperwork before it only took him 6 hours to do it this time, to get his library card. I must admit, I fell asleep through parts of this, like the paperwork, I think Zeph did too.
In an attempt to get to know his new sister, Fang has invited Ivory out on a hunting trip to get some different meets in the Inn for Everyone. Maxfield and Pan Thanar jumped on this opportunity to go outside as well, much to Fang’s dismay.
Once outside they saw the 6 different Camps of humanoids encircling the Inn. The only open area was a small forest in the east that appeared shortly after Fulric left.
Everyone headed for the forest while Fred and I hold the fort, again.

Chaos, lovely chaos. This team seems to be drenched in primordial chaos. It’s so amusing, I could write a comedy about these guys, but I guess only Nagpa would find it funny….
They lost Ivory, found Galladyn, the original elf from the team, and had visions from the immortals!
So, my notes on how this happened I am making from the rambling and yelling:
Galladyn was in the Feywild for a while, and some other fey bear has been following everyone spying on them. And nobody noticed that he had not turned back to elf in a very long time. Ahh such good friends are these who don’t pay attention to each other…
Fey bear seems to have taken something from Ivory, the device Ko’ar was looking for. Oh yes, Ko’ar’s back with yummy sandwiches. I will see about sneaking one from him later.
Anyways, Fang’s Crystal ball showed them the bear and a blond woman at Dentiata’s tower, which is nowhere near here.
Then they were attacked by a giant plant monster, when Ivory disappeared. Oh, and Fang’s Crystal ball seems to be out of juice now, as it is showing nothing. I could use it as a paper weight, though….
Once they got back to the porch of the Inn, our cleric and Paladin started receiving messages from the Immortal Khoronus asking them to gather the armies of the remaining races to battle the Oard.
Oh yes, Zeph and Zip are back, he had borrowed copies of “The Book of Gygax the GreyHawk”, “Leomund’s Hedgemage Tome”, “Ancient Blackmoorian Writings Deciphered”, “The Beastman Language in Plain Thyatian”, & “Myoshian for the Common Man”, they also had sausages on a bun.
I have a lot of things to “borrow” from the team, sandwiches, sausages, and books…. I am sitting here writing this while they argue about what to do next. If they take too long, I will cast Scribe and copy as many of these books Zip brought back for my own personal library.
Yarthmont 26th 1001 (?) De’Ath
Did I mention Chaos follows these people like a pet dog? No? well… The diabolus, Aklair, returned today. He has been missing for a long time, but apparently was just plucked out of time from 2 months ago and dropped back in our laps today. He thinks it has to do with his nightmare dimension magic interacting with the local magic creating what he calls “Wild Magic”. I don’t know, this is the first I have ever heard of “Wild Magic” and will have to investigate it more.
I need more books on the history of Diabolus in our world. I remember notes I made as a younger nagpa in school, but not much.
Diabolus, are humans from a place called the nightmare dimension, where their people have goat horns, goat feet, and barbed tails. There passing into our dimension was extremely rare if I remember correctly, and I do remember something about Nightmare magic… bah I cannot remember… it’s been over a hundred years since I read that book.
The team is still debating what to do, their concerns are:
1) Ivory, Fangs’ sister, was missing and she has never been out of Tuma before this trip, so may be in danger.
2) The wand is needed to save Tuma, and possibly Ko’ar. But also, it could wreak havoc by cancelling out the power of the gate under the Comeback Inn.
3) The Immortals had asked the team to assemble the remaining armies of the worlds, and they would need to prepare this for a war against the Oard in the future.
4) Julius and Adriana had been missing at “GreySkull” for an awfully long time.
5) they still needed to collect the remaining 4 amulet pieces to activate the gate to return in time to set things right.
As a temporary solution, Ko’ar suggested they returned to the Ark and recruit Kiera & Gnubnaver. He trusts them and figures they can take his brother Ro’ar to rescue the Wand from the Keep of Night. If Ivory is there, then they would logically save her too.
Ahh I am keeping my beak shut on this, Asking the brother that betrayed you in your childhood, to go and save your best friend’s sister, even with the other two, is a pile of mistakes waiting to collapse on you….
Somehow Ko’ar convinced Fang to trust them to the task as the rest of the team travel through the Myoshiman mirror.
My Prediction: Kat-burglar (hah I love it!) gets caught and sacrificed like his brother was supposed to, Gnub and Kiera leave him after getting the wand and rescuing Ivory. And the blond woman gains more demon power from the sacrifice, just like Dentiata tried to do with Ko’ar. But I’m not saying it out loud, I am waiting to see….
