4/22/2018 0 Comments A Massacre at Great Scale Villageby Liana (Teri W.)Dear Mama and Papa,
I’m writing this letter in parts because I’m on an adventure and it looks like we’ll be away for a while. I am traveling with three companions Krolan, Scaro and Sigrunn. Our mission was to head north to scout for giants as they’d previously been seen in that area. Day One: We headed out on a nice spring morning and decided, after some traveling, to stop at the Great Scale village to rest up. The area was blooming all around us and the air was heavy but it was getting dark and in the wilds it can be dangerous to camp. We were given permission to enter the village and we found that they were equipped with swords, which they call Silver Stings. We asked to meet with the chieftain who is Dol’Kal. As we waited outside his house a shimmerscale male emerged and brushed past us. We told Dol’Kal our purpose and we asked to stay which he agreed to indicating they had built guesthouses using what they had learned from their visits to Fort Providence. We asked if there was anywhere in the village where we could get some healing potions and he directed us to their Great Shaman, Vecca. As we approached Vecca’s hut we heard her performing some sort of incantation so we decided to wait. After an hour she emerged and was very pleased with us. So much so she gave each of us the root to the Lizard’s Heart plant that heals like a potion but has longer shelf life. She also gave us a potion of Hill Giant Strength, which we all agree Sigrunn should keep and use. Vecca asked us, while we were in the wild, to bring her back some giants fingers and toes and some rare flesh. She explained this was from a large bipedal creature. We readily agreed. We went to the guesthouse and saw that they were built of wood and looked like the buildings in Fort Providence. Scaro and I were tired and decided to call it a night and Krolan and Sigrunn decided to visit the blacksmith. Day Two: The next morning we rose and then heard a warning horn. Knolls were coming up from the south and attacking the watchtowers. We all agreed to help and we fought alongside Dol’Kal and handily won the battle but upon returning to the village we learned that the knolls we killed were only a scouting party and the main force had come through and attacked the village. Males, females and children’s bodies lay on the ground. We learned that a quarter of the village inhabitants had been killed. During the fight Scaro had taken the heart of the largest enemy and we collected his glave. We also took a body of one of each type of knoll to show Vecca. Upon entering her hut she looked at Scaro asking why he had brought such evil into their village. It was the heart. He was banished from the village until he could vanquish the source of the evil. She also looked at the glave we had collected and as she read the engraving I had a flash back and was able to understand the Abyssal. The name of the blade was “Bloodfinder”. It had a black aura around it and we agreed to leave it with Vecca. She had another one and put them both together for safekeeping. After a short rest we decided after much discussion to head east to track down a knoll that had run away from our fight and to find the source of the evil so Scaro could get back in the Great Scales good graces. As we traveled, we avoided a giant constrictor snake and as we continued to move east we smelled burned flesh. Krolan and Cinder stealthed forward and found the knoll burned to death. Krolan saw a huge horned creature walking away carrying an enormous sword heading for the copper hills. We decided to track the creature thinking it could lead us to the source. We continued to track the creature from very far back and eventually it led us to a cave at the foot of the copper hills. There were two guard towers each manned by a kobold. Then, to our amazement, a massive creature that was half dragon with red scales emerged from the cave. We retreated to get out of sight and it walked east off the side of the copper hills. Day Three: We discussed entering the cave but instead decide to scout around the back to see if there was another entrance that wasn’t guarded. Scaro and Cinder squeezed through a crevice and we learned there were 30 kobold inside that they could see mining silver, copper and gems. There was a discussion on whether we should go in and kill the kobolds. Scaro thought we could take them but we agreed we didn’t have the right party makeup and decided to leave and return better prepared. Day Four: We decided to go look for giants and on our way ran into a party of 12 kobolds. We defeated them and found a note on which was written “Travel south. Take his orders. Obey.” We all agreed we needed to warn Fort Providence. We eventually found two giants and Krolon tried his best to convince them we were not food but they vehemently disagreed and attacked Krolon. We fought them concentrating our attacks on the biggest one when suddenly the smaller one was cleaved in half by a creature that only Krolon saw before it just disappeared. We killed the big giant and while investigating the body of the smaller one I blew out a vein in my left eye and now am blinded. I’ve been assured it will heal up in a month. Day Five to Seven: We traveled and arrived safely back to the Great Scale village but on the way we encountered a sign directly north of the village written in Goblin. I decided to stay in the village assisting with hunting and rebuilding. Sigrunn asked the Great Scale to send a runner with the warning to Fort Providence. We all agreed Heykitd would be the best person to spread the word. I will write more when I can. I love and miss you all. Liana
