Events as told by Crie Kris'alis Snillor

I awoke early, feeling that I needed to get to work. If Denezaro Kris'alis was still missing I felt obligated to do my best to find him. See, the  day before he was kidnapped and we were massively attacked by kolbolds and gnolls. I had gotten up and gotten dressed, trying to wake the others so we could begin. As unexpected as it was, no one was willing to get straight to it, all were groggy and refused to move quickly. That is when I heard it. I heard a spell cast outside and swords fighting.

Running out the door and looking down the field I saw Rub'eus attacking what appeared to be a Mystic Wood Elf. I turned inside and yelled to the others, having seen what I had seen, I realized the Rub'eus were stealing from the Sorcerers' Guild and I told the others before charging into combat. I was unfortunate to have met a caster first who hit me with charm, and tricked me into walking away. When it finally ended, I forget how, I ran to the building with the elf to see what was still there as the Rub'eus had already escaped. Looking in, I couldn't see a thing and I ran in circles around the building unable to get in till the identification circle died and inside I saw the Staff of Dalanto and a few other items of importance still laying within. Realizing the horrible situation these items were in, I jumped into action moving to try and rescue these items. Only to find Fire Elementals leaping out of the wood work! Alex Row, who I had hired as a body guard the day before, finally made it to help me out. Within moments we were fighting them and making our way in. By the end, some books were burnt for good, but we managed to save the staff, a few other books, a lantern and a few other items that were laying about...

Without enough people helping as most had stayed in the building to fit themselves properly instead of risking their lives to help save such important things, the guild burnt to the ground. Nothing but ashes. I'm not clear on what happened because the panic of having to get all the items back into the Snillor Home for their protection as we couldn't find town guards and the such made me loose much hope in the situation. Remembering the legend of how one could gain control of the council by using the bejeweled wands, and the staff... I knew instantly it had to be Poli Rub'eus once more.

Realizing how dire the situation was I grabbed my hooch and went to the bar. I figured I would need to be drunk to be able to handle this properly. I sat in the bar a moment, I do not remember much. I do remember ignoring the Elf who seemed to rant about the strangest out of place things. After a few moments I heard combat once more. Running out we saw something that could only strike terror in normal Gadje and many of the other houses. Rocs, large birds had come down from the cliffs and right into Freetown as a result of the smoke rolling into the cliffs. Finally the others joined the fight and together we fought the giant birds. Then, Arrakk spoke Aventi, a language of one of the Scavenger races, and the chirping noise it required taunted the bird. So it chased him across the town leaving us dumbfounded and confused. I learned, to not let him get drunk either, he looses his calm collective self and becomes wild and very comical.

This is where things confuse me. I do not remember in sequence when two things happened. There were two Dirt farmers who had come in. They were planning to start dirt farming, when I informed them they would make more either gem farming or cleaning up kolbolds bodies. I also don't remember when, but we sat down to eat as Em'raldus were cooking a meal. I explained to them the dire situation and they bluntly ignored how bad it was, except for the idea they were willing to blow the door off for us with a destroy spell. After a hardy and well made meal we moved to the dungeon only to find... the spell did not work.

Well, I'm not sure how when and were we ended up back in town. Realizing how bad the situation was, I moved to go to the bar, where a gemless dalanti and a Rub'eus ambushed me with a web, silence, and sleep spells. Without me there the idiots opened the door to fight the Rub'eus and lost what we had saved from the fire. After we were finally gathered up, (I do not recall if this whole ambush was after or somewhere between the dirt farmers and the Em'raldus).

Eventually we gathered our things and headed for the dungeon once more only to find a way in. We arrived to find a Rub'eus, the one who stole the wands and ambushed us, and the no faced gypsy fighting each other. After a short battle we managed to pin and keep them under control. After short moment the Rub'eus handed us the key inside, tellins us that he realized his wrongs and only wanted to be elder, as he would of been instead of working with Poli Rub'eus.

With that, we entered the dungeon. Inside was a puzzle, and after hours of failing to figure it out, some of us left the structure at various times. Each time we became separated for any reason we found ourselves under attack by Rub'eus and No Face Gypsys. Somehow in the chaos of it we managed to recover one wand and create a plan. I believe I asked them to hide the wand, in which they choose their own clothing as apparently the best hidding place! Either way, we developed a plan. The plan was simply to hide, and when the door open 'bumrush' inside. The first attempt made it so only Kario made it in. . . Only moments later to be tossed out. We attempted again, and I made it in. In which I ran on by the skeleton warriors figuring I could find a way out of the situation, then make my way back to better fight to let the others in.

I fell off a cliff. I awoke later to find a skeleton starring me down. I didn't move, figuring if I didn't move they wouldn't move. So what I did was I looked at the door from the corner of my eye to see a loose stone, in which as I stood up I hit it with my shield opening the way for the others. We fill the hall and killed the skeletons. We started to cross the pillars and as I had spoken before, we could not step on 4s and 8s. Or so I thought. Finding Isableah stuck and unable to jump to a safe place I made a daring jump to allow her on mine. . . and I missed falling once more.

I awoke later, to find myself outside and reading over the puzzle once more in hopes of finding a way in. I worked slowly, diligently attempting to open the doorway. Only to see Reton come down the road toward us! As he did I yelled for him and he approached quickly, entering the room. I explained what had happened only to see the door open and to that I bumrushed my way in, right by Kario. In moments Kario and Alex explained what happened.

Poli Rub'eus had captured all the elders and was planning on sacrificing them to resurrect Ky'lo Antracit'us, and take his power. We had one wand and without it nothing could be done. We were to go to town and wait for his people to come get us to go to the ritual... Apparently Alex tricked them into thinking we'd help them. So we went back to town and to eat while we wait. I'm not sure what all happened, I remember alot of running about. I remember two Gadje who claimed to be formal magic users. I convinced some of the group to give them what was needed to resurrect the Elders.

See, someone came up with the plan to resurrect the Elders. Or hold off Polis as long as we could while the elders regrouped. Though later looking on it I can say that would fail as it seems the Elders had no memory of being kidnapped. So we started planning, and later ate along side some Wild Elves. I was a bit upset no one helped the strangers by giving them what they needed completely. I remember winning a bet with an elf who tried to kill me as a response so I had to kill him. Then he challenged me to honor combat, so I had Alex kill him as my champion, then he challenged me to a fight. So I had no choice but to fight him and every time he tried to kill me so I had to fight back. The Elf was crazy!

Anyways, eventually the men came for us who we had talked to before. The formal magic users. Which sort of confused me. What about those who were supposed to come and get us. Then as I walked out the one stealthily charmed me. Which caused me some serious issues. See, few know that I do not hold many as friends. Most are just people I hang with, but are not my friends. So when I suddenly flip into a state where I do, it usually becomes obvious.

Breton talked me out of it, I think. I just remember hitting Kario, which felt so good. We eventually made it back to the cave and after a while broke back into the dungeon. This time, we all made it across and this time we found Polis... Polis was in a circle of some kind, and the dead bodies of the sacrificed elders lay about on an ancient tomb. He was using the wands and soon... Poli Rub'eus summoned Ky'lo Antracit'us' spirit who soon informed him what he'd need to do to fully resurrect him. We were not sure what to do, and I asked everyone not to attack cause there would be no way we could do a thing anyways.

Soon, it faded and Polis simply died on the spot. I moved to steal his gold while the others revived Poli Rub'eus thinking it was a good idea. I warned them he could kill us all, luckily I had just cursed him to change his personality... so he choose not to kill us, but still was after his goals. After a short battle with skeletons and a long diplomatic effort, he escaped and we returned to the bar only to explain this all to Denezaro Kris'alis and return the wands and staff to him.
