by Makani Pahili (Joe R)Ahoy Ahoy Ayten! Oh am so glad that you told me to find your sister Eilis here in Summerport. While I have heard stories otherwise, since hatching and spending my time on Omgar he has not travelled to any colder climates, it initially seemed so harsh and inhospitable! Once I found Eilis in the inn though and was given a nice warm coat by a very helpful man everything turned right around. Did you know a bear took her sword? At first I thought she was affected by the cold, but a large black lizard and a kindly elderly gentleman confirmed her story. As soon as they told me they wanted to go and get it back from this “pole” bear that took it from her I volunteered to help immediately! My first adventure since leaving Omgar! I know I came here intending to figure out who or what is defying Valkur and keeping the weather of Summerport unnaturally cold, but I thought this seemed like a good opportunity to meet allies for the times ahead and get familiar with the area. We left the deceptively named Thieves Tankard (everyone seemed so very nice and helpful) and headed south toward where the sword was seen last before the Pole bear picked it up (still sounds crazy). The town seemed almost deserted, but apparently they have been having a problem with dead not staying dead. All we saw were some birds… a lot of birds. I am certain if you were here you could have talked to the birds and it would have been Ok, but they got very aggressive and attacked us. We tried to shoo them away with our weapons and they accidentally died… sorry. We eventually found the caves we were looking for and descended down till we reached a pool of water where the tunnel keeps going. The very small and cheerful man that follows around the elderly man made a warm fire which is good because I was concerned for Martius in this cold! Apparently he is older than any Tortle I have ever seen!!!! Also his skin is so…. stretchy looking…. but I really like him, he is very brave. Once the lizardman, Salazar and I scouted to make sure it was clear we all swam though the tunnel. I was in the back and just barely noticed, but as Salazar cleared the water he started fighting something! I couldn’t see it but I wanted to help! We all rushed to the edge of the water tunnel and I ran out the water, Salazar was slashing his swords but all I saw were shadows! Your sister cast a spell of some sort and all of the sudden I saw a giant square covered in vines standing directly in front of Salazar! I knew I had to do something so I blessed my fellows to help them achieve victory! But out of nowhere poor kind Martius was sucked into the giant odd beast! I’ve never seen anything like it…. all I could think to do was call upon the winds and thunder of Valkur to aid them. Eventually we were able to slay it, we all were fine and wow did it feel great! My first battle since leaving Omgar! Martius was definitely covered in very nasty jelly of some sort though. I will have to check up on him, pneumonia is very dangerous to older Tortles, I am thinking humans more so…. After this we continued up the tunnel, they discovered some scribbles on the wall but we kept going. Eventually coming up to an open room. At this point I learn what a Pole bear is and Oh man are they colossal. They look far stronger than the things living on Omgar and the cave was filled with them. Obviously if these creatures like shiny things I don’t think we could take them back by force. After following a side path away from the bears we came upon a well-lit room and I couldn’t believe it, the room was lined with weapons and armor! A man sat in the middle of the room but…no…he wasn’t a human man. He had ears and features akin to the Burr cats that live on Omgar! I learned later that he was a Tabaxi, his name was Silent Mockingbird and he had Eilis’s sword. I liked him very much and he gave Eilis back her sword without complaint. He claims the pole bears bring him stuff and offered to help us if we want to purchase weapons as he has so many on his walls. I would like to talk to him again. I did ask him briefly about the weather and the history of the area, he told me I should check with some monks who reside in a tower. Maybe they keep a history or are very old, either way a group of adventurers are heading to it on very soon and I am going to go with them. Hopefully I can solve this problem and bring the seasons back to Summerport. Sincerely, Makani Pahili Cleric of Valkur
