The Travelling Diaries [Viona's Records]

[eternasky]

Similar to Gond's PRESS TAB, this is a travelling journal for Viona. In it documents stuff from the mundane to the implicit.
NB: Try not to comment in this thread, there's other places where chats can take part in. Even in game.

Fine Weather,
Attended Drad Mi's wedding as Drad Mi's bridesmaid. She looked so blissful and happy. I have no idea why she would still continue to doubt her lover's faithfulness. True he's always running around, sometimes away from her. But I think I can understand why. *smirk*



Drad Mi passed me a spirit stone just a while after the wedding.
That dastardly Gond doesn't know how to treat his woman. He's leaving her again! This time Drad Mi pleaded with me to keep an eye on him as she has to help watch over their families now.
I wonder why she can't just up and leave them and just follow Gond...

Nevertheless, she's my best pal and I can't leave her pleas unattended.

I'll help her in this 'spy' trip. Maybe I'll be able to find more demons to skewer. *smirk* ;D


So let's see...

- To stay by Gond as far much as possible.
- To plant the stone near Gond even if he was having his private moments such as bathing.
- To stay as secret as possible. (Gond you did not read all of these)
- In the event where they have to choose to be separated, a chunk of the stone may be broken off and slipped into Gond's belongings.

*The separated chunk can be reforged back into the stone by placing them together. The smaller chunk may only project the visions around Gond but not the ambient sound around.

Right~

Rox's writings: And now you're going to have another man in your life? How could you?

Silly Rox...

Penning off.

[eternasky]

Overcast Sky,
We journeyed a few days before reaching his adventuring party, something about Zarn or was it Zan. Bah, I don't care. He's a fragging monk...

Met some weird beings in the tavern early in the morning. Darned monsters kept me away from my beauty sleep

What beauty sleep?

Shutup Rox... and quit writing into my journal.

Make me

Bah, I'll unconjure you. I'll unsummon you. Whatever.

Oh realllllly?

Bah! Penning off.

[eternasky]

Cloudy,

Followed the group. Felt kinda dragged into this whole thing Gond is involved with. Drad Mi owes me big time... Why did she.... bah... forget it.
Some drunk bastard came up to the group and told them of some Silverhelm lady being able to help and we all left for her place.

Your best buddy eh? Maybe you should get her to chip in for your expenses?

Rox, that's a tempting idea... I'll think about it...

That drunk man brought us to the cave and scurried off. We entered the cave and encountered angel-like beings. Faced off a couple of monsters had 2 members of the party seek a different route and lost them then we finally reached Silverhelm.

No idea what she's up to sitting there staring out a window in a FRIGGIN CAVE! It's a frak'in cave for the love of Sune... sheesh.

Calm down...

Fought her and she turns into a dragon. Apparently she's a dragon-kind.

She then gives up the fight and tells us we passed her test...

She kinda pisses me off...

But we got to rest in her quarters while she prepared dragons for us to fly on. So I'm fine.

Penning off, need to prepare for the next day. Big fight coming.

[eternasky]

Clear Sky,

Silverhelm and her friends flew us to some big clearing place. (I really need to start remember names of places)

Wish I could help you there...

Met some weird and funny Satyr near the place we landed. Weakling, died in a few blows from the party.

Entered the cave nearby.
Fought a bunch of trolls. ARGHZ trolls. Hate them. I read about them but I never encountered them before. The scrolls said they're hard to handle. Now I know why...
Need to carry torches instead of everburning torch. That darn everburning torch can only illuminate... and I've nothing that can sustain a fire even though I can make sparks with my flint and steel... Why can they die only to fires and acid?

Beats me... your shielding fire would have worked well if it hit them

Soon after we reached this chasm where there's a bridge. Looks rickety so it should be safer to travel slowly across it at one shot. But there's monsters here.
I ran to a corner where a statue-like monster was. I thought it was holding an item since its posture looked like it was...

You really ought to be more observant

Shush!

What happened next was crazy.
Our party was already gravely weakened after the fight.
It might have been easier for us if we ran across the bridge and fought there but having our backs to an unknown location is dangerous...

That room we later entered had few monsters. What was worth noting is the girl tied up on a seat in the far end of the room.

Perhaps it was the site of her being tied up and bound to the chair. It reminded me of the Accursed Day... I did not want any similar thing happen to her.
To my folly, without proper consultation with the party, I sent Rox to free her. I didn't even bother to do an insight check. That soon caused the whole lot of us a great deal of pain and suffering and led to my end.

...

I died. By the very same wretched thing I 'saved'.
She was the leader of the group and she held the Crown that Drad Mi wanted.

AND SHE KILLED ME!
SHE FRIGGIN GOT ME DOWN AND KILLED ME!!!

Yea but the party brought you back to town and revived you... otherwise I'll be meeting you here on this side of the realm

Shush Rox! I want you on this side of the Realm, not me going to your side of the Realm...

Eitherway I am glad this is over...

This adventuring party is by far the most exciting one I've ever had. I also kinda owe them my life now. Besides, I feel like I got stronger after the fight too.

All I've gotten into with Drad Mi in the group are small fry fights... and it took MANY of them (a couple of seasons or so...) before I felt I became slightly stronger...
These guys... I think they'll help me find out how I can bring you back to life, Rox...

You have to be more careful too. Being stronger doesn't mean the dangers are any less life-threatening. Don't worry about me, I'm happy being this way around you too

Silly Rox.

Penning off, got to get me better adventuring gear... hope we get to ride those dragons back to town

p.S. I think this death encounter may have weakened me somewhat...

[eternasky]

Clear Sky,

Back in town. Got more gear and we went to visit the tavern called Caramond and Friends.
Got some information regarding Elfmound. Some babies have been babynapped lately and the culprits are rumoured to have been sighted there.

However our conversation with Sir Lancaster tells us to go to Stonelands instead. We will investigate the Elfmound another time.

At the Stonelands, we encountered a troll and a quickling and a harpy. The harpy was irritating.
It made me feel uncomfortably hot everytime I took an action.
The quickling chased after the Wizard so I had to go after him and protect him.

Was it you or was it me? =\

Later Rox killed the Harpy after the rest of the party gave it some thrashing.
Soon after a short rest, more monsters came after us.

Hey, give me some credit ya?

A Worg and a swarm of rust monsters along with a burrowing Bullete came after us.
Looking at the swarm of rust monsters, I got Rox to go after the befouled beasts.
Then the Bullette came after me and knocked me down a lot.

I really oughta get a pair of Acrobat Boots.

We took a little break and then scaled up the Pyramid structure to find a way down into the structure.
There we had the most irritating fight ever for the day.
This... this.... pussy monster!!! Urghz... I sent Rox after it to handle it. But Gond suddenly started shouting for some healing. After I got Rox to go help heal him up, I got myself in real danger... Rox was helping to act as a barrier against these creatures.

So now I'm exposed and they all came after me.
I lost consciousness so many times!
That darned Pussy!

Darling... You need better cuss words...

All those darned monsters!!! Arghz!

Gond's Battle Standard of Healing came in really handy in this encounter.
It saved all of us from a lot of trouble.
I wish I can throw him a kiss but..... someone's gonna get jealous or scold me.

Drad Mi oh Drad Mi...

We continued deeper in and saw this Big Floating Eye... A Beholder!
We spread out and started to attack it from afar.

This fight was practically a fight for Roxeo and Mobius' conjuration.
Gond and Tassadar makes occasional attacks against the Beholder and those attacks helped out a lot.

The Beholder knocked me out once. Getting knocked out is getting way too common now...
But it quickly lost interest in me and went after the rest of the party as they came to help.
Gond went down later and it went after Mobius.

Bah... Darned flying piece of poop...

Came after me again

Can't help it if it found you attractive

In the end it died by the Shielding Fire I placed around Gond.
Whew...

Now, back to town...

[eternasky]

Sunny day,

We met this unicorn over at Elfmound and managed to persuade it to let us enter safely.

Inside, we came across this deceptively beautiful Succubus...
DEMON! DIE!

Revenge huh

The bitch kissed Gond... Drad Mi sure ain't gonna like that now...
Not only that, she kissed Tassadar too! Flirt! Seductress!

Wish I could kiss you though

Yea me too...

But, because of her charms, Gond protected her while we were trying to get to her.

That bitch even took control over me to attack Tassadar! Arghz.... Don't I just hate demons....

A twist of events allowed Gond to slay that bitch. For that, I shalt not inform Drad Mi of the 'kiss'.

There seemed to be some sort of a spider and a drow too but that demon had all my attention on her.

In the next room, we saw stone, petrified statues and there were also 4 skeleton warrior-like creatures.
Alas... A medusa stood amongst them.

She gazed upon me but I did not feel much of its effect. She tried again but I simply shrugged her off. She's relentless and tries it on me again but I swiftly saved myself from her stoning gaze.
Finally she got me for the better of me and it took more effort to get rid of her gaze this time.

Lucky huh?

By then, she was killed. Abomination!

We move on and find ourselves in another room.
It seems to be the last of the place.
Before we know it, My Spirit of the Earth was already upon them and Moebius' Wall of Fire magnificently destroyed them.

P.S. These days I've been observing Gond, it seems he likes shopping.

[eternasky]

Windy Day,

We were going off to investigate what caused the dissappearances of the babies in the city and met an Oni Mage. It was carrying a baby!

One should have seen Moebius' rigteous fury then... He is one concerned wizard.

A wyvern swooped down and sitting atop it was another creature. It awaited the Oni mage to pass it the baby.

We went in and despatched them quickly.

The Oni Mage told us the true baby kidnappers were just down the road and we gave chase.
Then, we met Vampires!
Can you believe it? Vampires! The dominated me over and over and I couldn't save Moebius in time.

The battle was so one-sided, before long, Gond and Moebius are both dead and we had to flee.

Thank Sehanine you are safe~

Eventually a blackshroud overcame us and next we know, we woke up somewhere else.
Kids appeared around us and the vampires were no more.
They brought us to Arabel. There we revived Gond and Moebius.

Night soon came and we spotted 2 giant creatures.

Moebius, in his fury placed a wall of fire and that chased them off.

[eternasky]

Dark Day,

I wandered off from the group after that night. Went around the nearby woods exploring and retuning myself to nature since a near death encounter happened. However I kept an active note on where the party was.

Later I met the party back at a tent and we killed the monsters inside.
We then went to the next tent.

Stupid monster clouded the entrance with a darkness fog.
Forced us to retreat, Tassadar proposed burning the tent and we agreed in unison. Gond threw a vial of oil onto the tent to let it burn easily. I threw a burning torch and let it burn the tent down.

The tent burned down and we managed to salvage some items from there before it did.
After taking a break near the burning carnage, the damned vampires appeared again and attacked us again.

I got charmed by that male vampire. I can't believe it...

After some combat... I can't believe it... The female vampire killed the male vampire.

I can't... I don't... I need some time to gather my thoughts.
