8th Lamashan AR 4715 (Week 8, Day 1)
Gathering their resources, the party handed a piece of the saucer cup to Captain Cassius to take them to the village of Acsizasi. They fought off a kraken, with Alodia diving in to chase the kraken, but it managed to successfully escape. Two days, the ship journey took and the Ravens took the time to heal up.
With Captain Cassius anchored off-shore due to the nature of treacherous reefs around the region, the party took a rowboat to the village and they came to the village's warden, a shifter ranger who has apparently been dominated by the Drowned Eye. Subduing him, they managed to break the enchantment on him where he reveals that there is a great evil in the depths of the Drowned Eye.
Venturing forth, the party dived in to find themselves face to face with draugrs. Undead who are created, due to the presence of great negative energy. As they finished off the last of them, they peer into the darkness, where the chasm is.

8th Lamashan AR4715 (Week 8 Day 5)
A sudden bout of illness plagues Chang and Corvus and they have to retreat back to the rowboat to recover. In the meantime, the five of the companions, dove further in and battling off a zombie shark, and more of the draughrs, they came face to face with Menotheguro, the aboleth. After a short battle in which it wanted to surrender, a casual statement of "What do you do for fun?" and it's answer is extremely unsatisfactory for the Ravens who proceeded to slaughter it.
The party escaped mostly unscathed, except for Professor Shamri whose left hand's bones have been shattered by an extremely lucky hit by one of the draughr.
Within the Drowned Eye itself is a series of runes whose main goal is to channel negative energy into a creature called a sea bonze. With the help of Professor Shamri and Charlotte, the party is able to locate the anchor rune and with the destructive powers of Leaf, they destroyed the rune, which immediately resulted in the village of Acisazi recovering almost immediately.
Pledging allegiance to the Silver Ravens should there be need of further help, the Silver Ravens return to Kintargo with minimal fanfare as very few ships dare to question a Chelaxian Navy ship.
With Charlotte pledging to find allies amongst the nobles, the Silver Ravens now look set to re-take Kintargo from Barzillai Thrune.

Silver Raven actions
As a matter of dangling healing and caring for the elderly, one of the supporters begins to sit on the sidelines. It's like election season on a sunny island. With carrots, they are willing to forgive and forget that they have been screwed!
With secret voting, the verdict is out. The Silver Ravens is now a rank 6 group of people who are slowly garnering more support.
The supporters have been secretly garnering donations from the people who supported the Ravens and each of you are given 750 gold sails as a form of thanks!
The Silver Ravens begin to improve the Street Performers to Rumormongers!
The Rumormongers immediately begin to put their skills to work. With the help of Vendalfek, and possibly Paracount Barzillai Thrune's condoning the Silver Ravens, the notoriety of the Silver Ravens drop by 5%!
With the alluring Charisma of Chang, 41 people have rallied to the banner of the Silver Ravens. Learning to keep them away from your secret hideouts, the Silver Ravens looks like it's off to an excellent position.
Kintargo is exceptionally calm this week. It is as if the Paracount does indeed have the goodness of Kintargo in his heart. No events happening! This is the second week where All is Calm kicks into effect.

11th Lamashan AR 4715; 12:00 (Week 9, Day 1)
Meeting with the various nobles, except for Lord Aulorian, who still misses his son, the Poison Pen, the rest of the Houses who are on Kintargo's side promises to pledge their aid to the Silver Ravens.
Of note, the mood of the city seems to be uplifting, indeed. Lord-Mayor Barzillai Thrune has sent out invites to about 300 guests, inviting them all to a masquerade ball at the Opera House. The Silver Ravens are not invited, but with the help of some of the nobles, they managed to secure invites to the ball for themselves.
Even the poor, scrounge up the gold sails to buy nice outfits for themselves. To be invited to this ball will be an honour indeed! The following friends/foes of the Silver Ravens are invited, Laria, Frodo (Erzi's father), Octavio Sabinus, The Duchess, Mantatlus, and even Kalier himself.
As the party leaves the Noble District, Lady Docur approaches the party for information. She even gives the Ravens very expensive gifts indeed (a scroll of raise dead & heal). She seems to know much about the Silver Ravens even though the party did not introduce themselves.

From the Diary of Kea the Strix.
12th Lamashan AR 4715 |
Kea followed the party down into the sewers(Kea always follows), who were really following the Path of the Angry Water after they successfully made the angry human and their… angry companion no longer angry.
Exploring the sewers were… stinky. Kea doesn’t like the sewer much. But this is where Angry Water lead and it led them into MORE angry humans, this time trying to surprise. So, Chang hurled an angry fiery ball at them and angry humans were no longer angry because they disappeared! Party said they weren’t really humans? Clearly humans. We’ll see. They’ll be wrong.
Continuing to follow Angry Water, Angry Water came from a hole… leading down. Angry Water was climbing up like salmon. So, obviously, party went down, Kea followed (Kea always follows) Plant Lady after she decided to attack Angry Water by landing into it. This place was Angry Water Pool. Eeeverrywhere was Angry Water. Kea doesn’t like this place. Vivi died in water in a building or something. This place has lots of water and is made by man. Same-same to Vivi’s dying place! Also, water naga likes water. Kea had to make sure Water Naga didn’t run off. Kea had hands grabbing water naga babies’ tail- all three.
Following, following, (Kea always follows) once-angry companion decided to go into Angry Water again and became angry again and said weird things! …But party continued walking until angry companion stopped being angry.
This was a secret way to stop angry dwarves.
Now there was no more place to fly, and the Angry Water lead to Angry Water Tunnel. And the party wanted to go through Angry Water Tunnel to find Angry Water Source. Arodia had new flying talking friend who … stopped being a flying friend and was pushed into the wall- next thing you know Chang, Plant Lady, Docco Corvo and the Strong One huddled and immediately disappeared. Wtf humans. Then the Angry Friend disappeared into the water! AGAIN. But came back soon later, not angry? and told Kea to sit in box. Very uncomfortable. It was like when I was captured and had to sit in a box too. Kea doesn't like sitting in closed boxes. #neverforgetthewronghumansdid.
But soon party is together again and there was… a plant-stained crab thing on the floor and there was another exit—and party decided not to follow Angry Water after coming out of Angry Water Tunnel.
Kea doesn’t understand.
But party found hiding entrance and went, and there was more Angry Hiding Humans. But was not Angry Dwarves so we had to fight. Angry Hiding Humans died and exploded into purple dust? Strong One’s finger was poked by Angry Hiding Human before Angry Hiding Human died and it is now red? Swollen. Docco Corvo should see and fix Strong One’s finger, maybe? No? Party continues, ok.
Ok, here Kea not quite sure what’s happening.
So. Party enters huuuugee cave, right? HUUUUGGGE cave. The air was uncomfortable.
Kea could see huuuge monster at the end- they call it Be-here. Ancient Be-here, so it must be old-old. So Kea hide, right? Kea must hide babies too. So, we hide. Next thing there was zzzz! Zapzap breath from Be-here! Then Strong One chaarrgeeed and attacked but was immediately chomped! Oh shit, oh shit! But he attacked anyways! He punched the side of Be-here face and the biggggg monster- so much bigger than monster toppled and dazed! Then- this crazy, then Angry One stepped up, THEN Chang fell asleep!
Kea is confident this happened before. Where Chang fell asleep in the middle of battle, and monster speak like Chang. Now Chang was monster. Arodia, Chang and Angry One started speaking about something, but Plant Lady was checking place and found out that the tall spike Kea was hiding behind had treasure under.
Okay now here, Kea don’t know what was happening.
Charlotte was supporting Be-here-Chang and suddenly there was 7 Be-here-Chang and suddenly Arodia and Angry One and Be-here-Change disappeared!
What. Why.
So now Strong One, Docco Corvo, Chalotte. Plant Lady and Kea stand in cave. Kea and Plant Lady staring at tall rock.
SUDDENLY. Chang and Angry One returns—Arodia missing?
This why party always tell Kea not to split from party?

With the possessed ancient behir, the trio created a swath of chaos as the behir storms the Kintargo Opera House. Many of the servants are busy setting up the Opera House for the upcoming party.
With a plan to assassinate the Paracount, Alodia was expose to a powerful symbol, but which she resisted. Alas, she cannot withstand the powerful magicks of the Book of the Damned and was drawn into the depths of the book. The remaining duo, Chang and Shamri realizing the danger, fled the possessed body of the behir, causing it to attack the Opera House and it's defenders fiercely.
Laria was at the scene, and a slumber hex from Shamri causes her to fall asleep. Will she fall prey to the behir in combat? Only one way to find out!

12 Lamashan AR 4715; 1200 (Week 8, Day 2)
When the party returns to the surface, they found out that Laria and the Sanguine Angel member had been slain in the defense of the city against the ancient behir. Burning a scroll of raise dead, under the careful ministrations of Charlotte, Laria was brought back from death and fully taken care of.
The party spent two days researching on how to bring Alodia back, and when she did came back, she has aged one year per day in which she was in the Book. A robed guardian, Malpheus, is apparently a servant of the Book, who serves the Book's Master.
Continuing the rooting out of the scarlet fungus, Chang made the mistake of teleporting into a room to the southeast of the behir's hive. In it are frozen blocks of ice, encasing Ulfens and an ancient ice linnorm. A dormant portal is within the room. The ice linnorm seems to have came from the portal when it was frozen over.
Shamri, in his bid for exploration, freed the ice linnorm, which proceeded to slaughter both Shamri himself, and the Tien sorcerer, Chang. The party fled, and regrouped, healing themselves and preparing to take on the ice linnorm beneath the tunnels of Kintargo.

15th Lamashan AR 4715 (Week 9, Day 5)
There are a few newcomers to the Silver Raven! First of all, is the Shardra and Naqueisar'Athalle Gssythm pair! And next is Chang's twin from Tian Xia. Chang's twin is an accomplished magic-user while Naqueisar is a devout follower of Shelyn who possesses a most unique glaive. Shardra is Pathfinder who came over to Cheliax for a holiday and decided to stay after joining the Glorious Reclamation.
Descending into the bowels of Kintargo, they beat the crap out of that ice linnorm and proceeded further into the place.
Hetamon Haace was actually slain before the party's return. Bringing him back to life, he claims that Chang have murdered him, but with the demise of Chang, the party decided to let it go. They also recovered the chewed out remains of Shamri and the corpse of the original Chang, which the new twin promptly cremated the body.

15th Lamashan AR 4715; 15:00 (Week 9, Day 5)
After resting for 8 hours, the party descended thousands of feet beneath Kintargo and they saw a kuo-toan city underneath, but with the scarlet rust infecting the entire city, none of the kuo-toas survived. Climbing the impressive looking cathedral, they eventually dived in and descended to it's depths where the ghost of the kuo-toan High Priest agreed to loan the Tablet of Sifkhu to the party.
With this tablet, the ritual to either bind or release the Scarlet Lord can be undertaken. What will the party's decision be?

16th Lamashan AR 4715; 00:00 (Week 9, Day 6)
Rejoining the party is the Pathfinder, Shardra, and the mighty barbarian Erzi. With the Sifku tablets in hand, the party had a heated discussion on how best to get to the ritual site to enact the ritual in which to bind the Scarlet Lord properly.
Finally, with a perfect combination of spells, they descended into the depths of the underground sea, protected by their robes of the deep. Halfway through the ritual, the chains of binding failed and there was an ensuing melee. Both Erzi, and the paladin, Naqueisar took the brunt of the attack while the elven wizard, Arklas chants the words necessary to once again bind the Scarlet Lord.
With Erzi nearing the brink of death, the Scarlet Lord was prepared to unleash it's devastating attacks on Erzi when the chains of binding, with it's magic strengthened by Arklas' words, once more secure it beneath the sea. With the powerful creature once more bound, the scarlet rust quickly decomposes, it's magic and rage spent.
With the close proximity of the Sifku tablets and the subsequent power of the binding ritual on the Scarlet Lord, a wave of energy suffuses the beings of the 5 companions, making them possibly reaching an unknown height of power known to mortal men.
-----
After resting and telling their supporters that the Silver Raven has once again stopped a calamity from falling upon Kintargo, the party once more remembers that they must get regional support in the event that Egorian might send either the army via the Menador Pass or the navy from the nearby city of Vyre to Kintargo.
Deciding that Vyre is the first objective, the party arranged passage with Captain Cassius to take them to Vyre on the Scourge of Belial. Realizing that Erzi have his magical belt, the friendship of the good Captain has dropped a notch, from Helpful to Friendly. Promising not to do it to Cassius again, he maintains his word that he will take them to Vyre as a favour.

Vyre’s Five Promises
Vyre’s laws are simple, yet prominent, and represented
throughout the city in stone carvings below statues
of ancient heroes and villains. All visitors to Vyre are
expected to uphold these five promises, as are her
citizens—those who break these regulations and cannot
offer defense invariably end up in Dunrock Prison.
I Shall Honor All Coin: Transactions are always binding
and refunds are not guaranteed. Do not burgle or steal.
Price itself is always negotiable.
I Shall Speak Many Names: Names spoken in Vyre
are to be accepted as truth. Do not publicly spread
visitors’ true identities if they want them hidden.
I May Wound Yet Shall Not Kill: Let your enemies
live, that they might have a chance at revenge. If you
cannot abide such threats, make no enemies at all.
I Know None Are Below Me: Even the lowliest beggar
may well be a high priest of Norgorber. In Vyre, all
forms of prejudice are frowned upon, and the racist, the
misogynist, the classist, and the like must tread with care.
I Shall Let Closed Doors Remain Closed: Breakings
of these promises that occur in private are considered to
have never been broken at all, lacking a burden of proof,
but revealing closed-door secrets without sufficient
evidence is answered with imprisonment.
-----
Vyre is led by five so-called Kings & Queens. They are listed as follows:
Queen of Whispers: Represents Vyre's intelligence and protecting it's secrets
Queen of Blades: Leader of the city's militia
King of Keys: Charged with maintaining the city's defenses
Queen of Blood: Responsible for representation of Vyre's citizens
Queen of Delights: Represents Vyre's economy and the interests of the city's many visitors
