Entry 1.
Beginning of Volume 2, notable as this is when I became a Journeyman.
Alchemist Flootwick Borkum seeks rare ingredients. Area around Throal largely farmed /claimed. Potentially over-harvested. Seeks guardians while he collects materials. Acceptable. Location and nature of ingredients might be interesting.
Accompanying me, Vralino. Wild girl, fiercely loyal. Great potential but must leverage it quickly. Orks do not live long. Darius. Archer. First Archer I have seen eschew bow in favor of hawk hatchet. Seems dependable.
We head into mountains first. Much climbing - one vertical cliff wall. We make varying progress before we are attacked by some sort of Fire Eagle. Do eagles become fire eagles? Or is it a new species? Most interesting. Difficult fighting on vertical surface, most of party falling, heavily wounded. Darius effective at clipping wings of eagles. Highly recommended tactic. Also, kicking works.
Fire Eagle nest holds shards of valuable elemental eggshells. Pleased to have collected eggs without having to kill chicks.
Then, travel towards next location. Encounter undead termites. How do termites become undead? Entomologist nethermancer? Eat flesh of corrupt plants and animals? Seems unlikely to be intentionally created. Termites are very dangerous. Hard chitinous shell resists blows. Wicked mandibles capable of chewing through wood, stone, armor, and namegivers. Spew caustic irritant, attracts other termites. Vralino offered sage tactical advice - pleased to see. I could not hold my place, less pleased.
Much to learn.Statistics:Posted by bronzemountain — Mon Jul 20, 2020 2:53 pm
