We rescued the Duke
Mood:  a-ok
Well with a lot of help from Gunner
He was fighting 3 serpent guard and left the 2 normal Thraxians guarding the duke .. Alex fought them and I got the duke out of there

Gunner apparently has a past he prefers not to talk about
and that is fine with me and Alex

they are both ok .. the lotharians were trying to make the Duke send false orders to put Titan and Davos at war as we thought
He also said he was sure a Mage was involved
so the guild has either a rougue mage or is helping the Thraxians

The corpses of the Seprent guard revealed that the current Thraxians can not make them like they used too and are improvising with technology
The things are becoming more powerfull by the second and their bodies reach a point where they can not handle the power and die

Disposable weapons

We also learned the Genome project is in effect just not as good as it was thank god

In rescuing the Duke we used a shard in an explosive device and something odd happened .. it seemed to have an affinity with what we were trying to do with it It knew what we wanted it to do

More people from Leons planet are due to arrive
and we learned a little about leons past
apparently he was really not a nice person
I am unsure if i want to know anymore

we got mr Painter out of prison and asked him to use his knowledge of soul science and mind control to help Matt Keogh (who is not the high preist he just thinks he is)
Unfortunatly that requires him to be imobalised and a cosmic entity is interested in no one interfering so that will be quite hard

We asked Jessie to infiltrate the lotharian movement and investigate their links to the Thraxians ..she seemed to think she could do that

On the plus side out millitary is doing better than expected against the thraxians
and the training camp on the island was blessed by a visit from a huge pheonix ( a very good omen to imperillians)

Thraxian serpent guard
Mood:  surprised
We infiltrated the lotharian movement in Davos

They are trying to provoke Titan into attacking Davos knowing the Imperillan millatary would have to step in thus weakening the Black legions protection of Titan

and met the Lady head of the movement from Falkin

We found out they were setting a trap for Gunner as it looks like he took a package that was important to the lotharians

The duke we beleive is somewhere in Titan

When we arived to mess up the trap we found a serpentguard

clones of Vermithrax .. the Thraxian elite
It was a one sided battle and Alex got seriously hurt
(seems when she is that damaged the wounds won't heal till the sword is fixed)

Then Gunner showed up and finished it off telling us to stay out of it

We went back to Titan and found one of the Dukes men being held by mercenaries

And now the Thraxian war begins
Mood:  rushed
The thraxian war kicked off in earnest
with Imperialles woefully undermanned
with young inexperienced troops
It does not bode well

On a trip back home we discovered thet our foster father the duke leo had disappeared on a trip to Davos

When we went to investigate they denied he reached the city
we found that was untrue and set off to investigate

Also Gunner the smith from the estate seems to have gone looking too
And left a trail of bodies in his wake
He is more than he seems

And so it begins
Mood:  don't ask
The celestial court is no more
killed by cerys (the mother of the divines)

the power of the gods hidden in their avatars
and fortune making a desparate holding action

we were given the job of finding the new avatars for the trinity

Gaia's son was hers Vermithrax Bladefist
Cass Keogh was shivas

and fortunes seems to be bits in a jar held by a holographic cyberphantom
(don't ask)

stan and steph are busy trying to put her together
and our Arcadian swordsman Zack will be our key to her

Kyoto is free and the highwayman is going to help if we can get Vermithrax to talk to him

End game has begun

Finally we made a move
Mood:  energetic
After a start trying to track down the elusive highwayman we discovered inconsistancies .. some people vaugely rememeber the Thraxians burning Titan
which could not have really happened

We asked the Prime minister and he was not willing to answer
However Vermithrax showed up and forced him to tell us
Seems Thraxia DID win and it forced the remaining heros to a desparate plan
Using a Time Travel ring they went back to change the past

Sems it kind of worked but caused so many other problems too

He came to warn Priotus that the thraxians had landed
Priotus and Brok went to deal with that

and


Alex Gen Leon and ms DeWinters along with the princess made their move

we went to reclaim the Lord General of the Imperillian army from the control of The cult of Krakken led by Matthias Keogh

It was a brutal fight but Gens plan was to hold on long enough for Garrin Kreiger to rediscover who he was .. it worked and Mathias was forced to flee


Imperialles is not ready yet
but with the lord generals apology to Shae of the Elves
that war has ended and we have the Elven armies support

The lord general also gave us all a Shard of great power
Gen is busy studying it to see waht power it will unlock
Alex is practicing with he new sword
Savik made her a sword that will I am sure become ledgend

Peace Corps
Mood:  don't ask
Seems we now have a "peace corps"
dedicated to rooting out sedition and treason

only problem being it is the corupt politions controling them

We were on a trip to Imperialles as our freind Jorran was in a spot of trouble
on the way gurading a consignment of water we were attacked by a Xidus

The want the water as it has mystical powers to them
It was powerfull and a good warrior but we beat it

Jorran dug a little too deeply into politics and as a result found a sizable bounty on his head cutting into his ability to investigate a coproration of dodgy tradesmen in the craft district
This is where we came in
we got the info he wanted and he said he will take it from there

When in Imperialles we saw the highwayman
he is a mythical figure and a folk hero of Titan
he was plastering the city with evidence that counciller Lucas was a Krakkenist and had committed some atrocious acts

Next thing we knew the council had decreed him a traitor and was planning to hunt him down. This was a surprise to us and even more of a surprise to the King who had no idea the council had even sat

He had the highwaymans info verrified then sentenced Lucas to death

We went back to Titan and found a peace cops officer had been mobbed for putting up the declaration about the highwayman
Seems he (or they) is a cult figure in Titan AND Imperialles

Fabian Cortez has started rumors about leon that the peace corps at least is taking seriosly and that annoyed leon greatly
ths cortez guy sounds like a real snake

After talking to Priotus and Asmodai we decided to go see Titans mayor as if he could help us track down the highwayman he could be an invaluable source of info on the cult of Krakken

Starlight Mithrill and meeting a Ledgend
Mood:  celebratory
We blagged a trip to the Forrest legit
To deliver some materials to Savik (the eleven smith formerly of Titan)
In doing so we gained a little acceptance in the Forrsest

He told us of a seam of starlight mithrill that had been unearthed
Its very hard to mine and the miners were stuck

To stop others from getting it we decided to intervene

It worked we were attacked on the way and actually aquired 2 shards each to use and study

Alex and Gen shared an odd dream
it seems someone is messing with our heads

We got the starlight mithrill and Savik has agreed to forge Alex a sword from it
And a dagger for me :)

Priotus gave a history lesson which was followed by a meeting with Vermithrax himself

he is not going to stop the war as he firmly beleives that Imperialles deserves some of what happened
but he is here to protect his friend (the now King)

and to protect US .. he has told them to leave us alone

The war is about to begin
and we have to save the Universe
well Gen is going to save Alex and the universe will be a byproduct

Artifacts revealed
We started to learn how to use our new powers
Well at least the refining of the shards from living things
plants and insects mostly

We were also left a new message from mordane
seems his plan to come back is to breed one of what we are by getting his daughter knocked up by mathias keogh

then he can come back

We also had a visit from Vermithrax, he is back to protect the world from the force he created

Gen also learned his first enchantment, phantoms edge
and got it right second time

A trip to stanley cathedral proved interesting
seems the gods held some of the shard artifacts and the Aquillans went to war with heaven to retreive them, they almost wiped out their civilisation to retreive 20 artifacts

those artifacts lie in stanley cathedral in tombs keyed to the "feel" of the Divine they belonged too

I retreived the cloak to go with the robe
And Alex decided to leave the gauntlets she had with the mask she found
Leon got a golden goblet

Ran a few errands for the War council and got paid so all is good
apart from news of many powerfull assasins on our way

Secrets revealed
Mood:  surprised
Our origins revealed

seems we are the result of shards of the Devines becoming mortal again

The devines are the onse that created the universe and made the Gods

Krakken was a devine of sorts so that is why he refered to us as old friend

Bit of a shocker

Next big shock is that Mathias Keogh is the high preist of the cult of Krakken

He found a way to make himself like us and is fighting for the right to remake the universe as he wants it
(involves his mother in all sorts of icky ways)

to acheive this he has manipulated many
including the Lord General who does not actually know that he has an alter ego controlled by Matt

the Thraxians are back .. along with the Xidus (space spiders)
and countless heros and villans are heading to the world

the final battle between good and evil is about to begin

And we need some SERIOUS training

New ally (maybe)
Mood:  not sure
A new ally appeared
a sorcerer from another world called Leon
seems that he is like us and was drawn here to avoid being messed about at home

so we teamed up reluctantly for a trip south
to where the last battle of the Thraxian war occured
searching for answers we only found new questions

There was a thraxian city
complete with missile silos and something called a virus weapon

we also found out that Lady Castors maid is not what she appears
She is an agent of some force and is from the same place as our new ally

the sparks were quite obvious

anyway the Lord General told us a little more
his plans do not coincide with the cult of Krakkens totally
He is like us (whatever that means)
and is using them to his own goals

When we got back we needed answers and Lady Keogh was the place we chose to go for them

boy it must have been one hell of a time
just talking about it really upset her
and our new ally did not help much
he is quite abrasive

So we are off to Cawdor to see if anyone there has any artifacts from the time (specifically the armour Alex was told was hers)
Unfortunatly that means Mathias Keogh
and our new friend is bound to rile him up royally

hope we get out of this one alive
