Entry 40 - Back to Black

After days of nightmareish exhaustion, one of the marked ones - Norien - revealed through sensitive deduction that the now possessed Franisbel was heading north, to Coerthas. Begrudingly, the group gathered to follow on the tracks of the outwordly, reality-wrecking presence. Its wake was recognizeable, for it laid death and misery wherever it went, its' passage was unmistakable.  They reached an abandoned, worn-down village in the hostile frozen land. What they found was a sight that would hav

Entry 1 - Passage to Coerthas

The first day on the long road ahead had started out quite favourable as the trio of Seekers set out to follow their chosen leader to new shores. They had overcome a few disagreements amongst themselves and a truce was now in place, even if just for the time being. Their stomachs barely satisfied by what vegetation they had found on their way, the Swanra siblings Naelia and Dwassyith with a battered little R’avi Tia in tow made their way to the docks to Coearthas. Their destination beyond that y

Entry 2 - March through the wilderness.

Braving the blistering cold and the unknown lands the group marched ever further North towards Dragonhead. None of the Adventurers had a particular eye for the picturesque snowglazed forest all around them. They were too busy trying to keep warm and moving. Unfortunate for them, they were not the only ones stalking the frozen woods. A pack of starved wolves had been following their trail for quite some time and when the groups diversion did not work they found themselves attacked. Vadim the High

Entry 3 - Making ourselves at home for a while

The initially hostile Settlement proved to actually be in need of some helping hands. And so the Adventurers soon found themselves plenty of work to get by and pay their debt to the authorities. Their stay got overshadowed by the sudden appearance of G’pandoga Zumi, a blast from the past for the three Miqo'te as she represented everything the three were running from and how she followed their tracks would remain forever a mystery. In exchange for all that was hers and additional services to pay

Entry 4 - The Daily Grind

Throughout the past week the Adventurers have settled into a busy daily routine of work, rest and play. Earning their keep took up most of their days,  notable events were the missing and finding of Zumi, who was thought to be dead but turned out to have survived being half frozen and battered out in the wilderness. The group was further introduced to Norien, a quiet and seemingly shy Miqo’te female;  Granis, another Hyur who seemed to be just as quiet and gloomy as Vadim; and finally Simeon, th

Entry 5 - New Prospects

With the help and connections of Simeon the Elezen, the Adventurers have managed to secure a contract that would, upon successful completion, secure them passage into Ishgard. A rampaging band of Ixali, not far from the Dragonhead settlement needed elimination. With the help of A’ura, Simeon had scouted them out the day before the actual mission, which resulted in the Miqo’te getting badly torn up and departing for warmer climates the next day. The rest of the Adventurers took on the warmongerin

Entry 6 - An unfortunate roll of the dice

After healing up from the Ixali battle, the Adventurers decided it was time to move on to the next settlement. Their last week in the camp had gone by rather turbulent and had seen Zumi leave on Dwassiyth’s request and Dorbei Kha vanish out of sight without a word. Nevertheless, these events did not put too big a dent in the overall mood. One early morning the group gathered to travel to Camp Dragonhead, both to collect the remainder of the reward for their Ixali slaying spree and to get a

Entry 7 - You can run, but you cannot hide.

As with previous pit stops along the way the Adventurers have made themselves at home rather quickly within Camp Dragonhead. Being tolerated by the local Elezen House Fortemps mainly due to the fact that Simeon Siberuse was one of the Lords subjects and therefore his word weighed some when the group had asked for refuge. The group was visited by a healer to patch them up after the injuries suffered by their aquaintance with an avalanche. And later they all found themselves some work to be u

Entry 8 - Destroying the Ravens' Nest

The rampage to La Noscea and more precisely Summerford Farms lasted about a week. The normally tranquil farmer village was painted with the blood of the notorious gang under B’rego Nunh, who found her untimely and brutal end at the hands of Dwassyith and Vadim. The slaughter was nothing short of a massacre, fueled by the rage of their accepted leader Dwassyith and aided by the rival gang called the Boulders, the Adventurers slayed every single Raven they came across.Eventually freeing Nellie Swa

Entry 9 -Fire and Chaos at Camp Dragonhead

Just shortly after settling back into Camp Dragonhead, R’avi Tia had been informed by Simeon that his father, R’olo Tia, had been seen at the Camp not too long ago. This caused R’avi to rile up the entire group into a search party headed for Whitebrim. However, these plan got put to rest when R’olo Tia showed up the next day. The rejoicement was shortlived as Camp Dragonhead suffered an attack by a yet unknown faction just a day later. Which forced the Adventurers to a hasty, chaotic and bloody

Entry 10 - For Justice

It had been a rough week out in the unforgivingly cold and harsh wilderness of Coerthas. The weather as well as the anxiety of an unknown fate ate away at the Adventurers. After consuming mostly raw fish and a few bitter earty roots and endless marching towards the southern border, the group was at their limit. Meanwhile Camp Dragonhead had seen a significant rise in security forces due to a visit of the High Inquisitor Dylise Travanchet, who with Simeon and Broen's help, lead a small army to ca

Entry 11 - Justice Served

The trial lasted for hours in which the Adventurers were given a chance to prove their innocence. Dwassyith Swanra laid down a detailed testimony of how the group had come to Coerthas in good spirits, showing that wherever they went they went peacefully and offering their hand to the citizens of the land. With the help of both Xihsa’li and Rhell he managed to convince the Inquisitor of their innocence to the atrocities committed at Camp Dragonhead. All but the Au‘ra Anayu were set free to go the

Entry 12 - Fulfilling The Promise

The second meeting with the Boulder went over quickly and it was decided to go with the initial plan of transporting the wares. Norien bravely volunteered to be their vessel and so the group made their way to Aleport to pick up the ominous little capsules that would either make them wealthy or horribly regret their decision. The general mood was gloomy at best, it seemed as if everyone had a reason not to go to Ul’dah ever again and yet they headed right for the hornets nest of a City, gritting

Entry 13 - The Long Road To Ul’dah

The journey to Vesper Bay had gone without troubles, and Norien had swallowed the capsules in the morning like a pill addict. Luckily they had been nicely lubricated and now rested comfortable within the confines of her stomach. After one last panic attack of R’avi, the group headed out towards Ul’dah, shielded by the dark of the night. Walking through the swamps towards Horizon proved to be straining as big things stirred in the dark, hungry things with tentacles, that were only held back

Entry 15 - Blood On Sand

In the following days, the Adventurers visited in turn the inns going under the names of Lynx Inn and Myrrh & Jade, choosing the latter as a steady place where to stay. Much was discussed with Eadgyd and her passionate need for revenge against the ‘Chimeras’ gang, with whom she had engaged in a violent fight, and lost.A few days of quiet planning followed, until the group opted to take action in the following way: a team would have taken out the Chimera’s patrol, while another team would hav

Entry 16 - No Second Chances

Having agreed to take the risk to rescue Myrrhantan, the group travelled to the location of trade that was left on the map; The Sagolii Desert.Once there, they found the captive Inkeeper chained to a metal structure - but between themselves and he who they sought to rescue, there was an open area. Attempting to approach quietly, using the cliffs for cover, did not work out. A disturbance of the rocks under their feet revealed their posistion and triggered a signal from those who had been waiting

Entry 17 - The Quiet before the Storm

The past week had gone by in unparalleled tranquility. After a heartfelt apology had been made to the owners of the Myrrh and Jade Inn, especially Jade, the group was allowed to take up residence in the Inn once more. The only condition being, that they repaif their debt for the emotional as well as physical damage to the Inn and its owners. And so once again, the Adventurers traded labour for a place to stay, whilst recuperating their strength. Meanwhile, Ul’dah had been stirred due to a re- sh

Entry 18 - Snakes In The Grass

The past week had seen some unexpected changes. Dwassyith had taken it upon himself to meet the leader of the Hounds. The meeting ended in blood and the death of the fabled Mr. Bigman, a feared figure of the Underworld. Though Dwassyith had only initiated the blow, Bigman was finished off by his closest enemy. Madame Miamoli of the Sapphire Needle, an Auri woman that had earned herself the name of Red Queen. She approached Dwassyith after his meeting with Mr. Bigman and offered him and his group

Entry 19 - The Last Hound

The week had gone by carefully plotting the assault on their next target, Vanje Tronta. Whilst the other members of the group carefully circled on this highly dangerous target, Norien got so close it nearly burnt her. In the end their target walked in on them unexpectedly, rendering their careful planning rather useless. Vanje appeared at the Myrrh and Jade Inn, supposedly to apologize to Norien. His true intentions were never revealed as he found a grim end at the hands of the Adventurers. Th

Entry 20 - The Duke

After the meeting with Miamoli, the Red Queen of Ul‘dah, and her trusted Captain Doran. The Adventurers set out to Vesper Bay. Here they would meet up with Captain Doran and board his vessel ‚The Duke‘ for her voyage to Limsa. The journey from Ul’dah to Vesper Bay did not go smoothly, the road proved dangerous and the group found themselves outnumbered by the desperate outcast remants of the Ul’dahn plague. The half dead victims attacked on a bridge and forced the Adventurers to cause a bloodbat

Entry - 21 Nicky's Regards.

The past week the Adventurers settled into Limsa. Treating themselves to some well earned luxuries in one of the more high brow establishments. It was a hard earned luxury, yet some members of the group did not appreciate it as much as others. R’avi nearly got himself and Norien thrown out, when he carelessly practiced his questionable magic on her. The act caused quite a stirr and the irritation lasted several days. Eventually, seeing tha Norien had survived the ordeal, the matter was put to re

Entry 22 - How Far Do We Go For Coin

After a few days of hiding in the countryside near Moraby the group was approached by no other than good old stoic Friendly. He came with yet another message from Nicky the Cripple. This time it was an offering of peace. Though Dwassyith suspected something fishy about this, he was soon persuaded by the fact that Nicky had taken a former member of their group as hostage. Xihsa’li, who had parted ways with the Adventurers a few weeks ago, had somehow managed to get himself captured by Nicky. To e

Entry 23 - The Lizard, the Snake and the Rock

After recent assignments, the group split up for a brief while. Dwassyith, Rhell and R’avi headed for Ul’dah to collect what was missing from their pay of Miamoli’s task. During the meeting Miamoli made Dwassyith and Rhell an ominious proposal, asking them to bring R’avi to her in exchange for a large sum of gil. According to her, she planned to have the ginger work in her establishment. The offer was politely taken into consideration, though both Rhell and Dwassyith seemed to have their suspici

Entry 24 - Decisions

Much to their surprise they all survived the meeting with Nicky and were given yet another task by the Cripple. This was their chance to amend their mistake and the group played eager to please. They were sent to take out the offender, Vincent Aurora, disguised as a delivery crew from Nicky, they were let through the gates of Vincent’s base of operation. An old ruin outside of Limsa.  Meanwhile, they had found a new addition to the group, a tribal Miqo’te by the name of X’ken, who made it h

It was an old world. A world which had set its many, far reaching roots into Limsa since centuries. One of these would find its way into Dwassyith Swanra’s little group of hired killers.  And so ‘The Rootless
