It looked like we had gotten ourselves wrapped up in the business of gods!!!
Perhaps we needed to speak with another god about this.....cazic thule? I'd heard rumors that morals could go to his plane though a gate just sitting around in the swamps....but that it was dangerous in doing so! Then again, I'd fought dragons...giants....undead....living...."Humm, how dangerous could it really be?" Kadest, of course, was willing to go. We discussed it and decided that this journey would be more dangerous than any we had done before. Perhaps we would need even 4 people in total as when we killed the poacher king?! Well, we already had 2....and with a little searching we had found another elf to join us. The bard Murri. I'd met Murri before on some of my adventures, so this seemed like a good start. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] After some more searching, we found some others willing to go. A dwarvish paladin named Evangelos....though he was only as big as me, 51. A halfling druid named Kolsh....that seemed good, druids were pretty handy. And we even found an ogre!! A shaman named Teeton!! Besides Murri and Kadest and myself....that meant we had 6 people!!!! Seemed like we would be extra safe with so many adventurers! So we began to gather in the swamp...having gotten secret information to where the planar portal was located from gnomes (many gnomes died to get us this information). Getting to the portal was surprising easy! A couple easily defeated spectres and an erudite were all that was stopping us from entering!! I prepared my strategy....if we were to get into trouble, I would use my snares and flame licks to gain the enemies attention! I could do that to a couple of monsters as I've done before with giants! I would be a hero, everyone would rejoice! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] After preparing ourselves....we all took deep breaths.....and jumped through!! As I came through the other side I could barely make out Murri as he ran over the hill we had appeared on.....and chasing him, were monsters! 1...2...3....4.....oh....this wasn't good....this wasn't good at all.... We all rushed down the hill as Murri sang his songs and kept running! Ohhhh mannn, there were far more creatures in here than I had thought!! I froze!! What should I snare?! Should I flame lick?! Who....who do I shoot?! I backed against the wall....trying to assess the situation....Murri was hurt, I started with him....trying to heal him, but he kept passing by me too quickly! The two druids stepped in and each charmed one of the gorillas. Well, at least that was a start! Then we peeled one of the creatures off of Murri..... ok, ok, this wasn't....too bad.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] As everyone began to get a little more comfortable....we actually began to make some progress against the one we had pulled away from Murri. The two gorillas being mighty warriors in themselves!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Then the dwarf paladin jumped in with the gorillas to fight. Ouch, it seemed like he definitely hurt from the creatures bites. I began to get worried again.... But we managed to kill one of the creatures after Murri....then another....and finally a 3rd. But as we fought, more creatures saw Murri running around and decided to chase him too. Even though we were winning....the number of enemies we were facing was growing! Suddenly everything went wrong!!!!!! First for some reason monsters that were chasing Murri broke off and killed our dwarf!!! Then the druids died!!!! And the shaman!!! "Get us out of here!! Teleport!!!" But it was too late.....there were too many....everything went dark..... Moments later....we woke in the swamp....stripped of our weapons and armor!! Had we died?! Did Tunare save us?! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] It didn't matter now! We were given a second chance!! .....but, what were we going to do? Without our equipment, invading the plane of fear would be even harder.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] As we came to the planes portal again, we saw another naked adventurer. Qelen the high elf. Had he met the same fate as us? Saved by the gods?! But stripped of his possessions by the thief Cazic?! It looked like we were in this together....we had found a 7th member. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] We sat around and discussed our strategy to recover our things...this would be hard....harder than ever....I didn't even know if it was possible! Then Murri stood up and said he would go in first.....alone!!!!!! He had already let us survive for so long before....and now....he offered to go in first to distract them!!! Not only that, but also find our equipment and bring it near the portal!!! Alone!!!! "No Murri!! You can't!! Not alone!!!" "But...I must.....it is my duty, as an elf!" The bravery!!!! I was never so proud to be an elf!!!!!! The ogre cried many tears as Murri walked into the portal.....and there was silence.....as we all waited for his signal to enter..... Things were quiet a little too long though....had he died?! Was he captured?! Kidnapped!???! Forced into cazic thules dungeon and had gnomish things done to him?! Turned into a dark elf?!??!! As my mind raced with all of the horrible things that had surely happened to Murri....his voice came from the portal "Ok, zone in". He was alive!!!!!!!! We raced into the portal also!!! Ready to save him!! When I got to the other side of the portal though....I saw Murri was pretty hurt....what had happened?! He also wasn't anywhere to be seen.... It looked like this wasn't going to be good.... Still, no monsters had attacked the rest of us...so we raced down the hill again and found our equipment. Suddenly I could sense Murri died!!!! It wasn't a good sign....probably.... Then, from over the hill, a group of monsters came rushing at us!!! "Get us out of here!!" The druid began to cast his spell as our brave paladin fought the creatures.... Then, it finished casting....we were saved!!!!!! Moments later though, we appeared.... still in the plane of fear......this time deep in the middle of it..... "Wait....what?!" "Oh....ohhh.....this isn't good........" I looked around in every direction and monsters were walking through the forests of fear, still unaware of us.....giant squid soldiers...gorillas....floating eyes..... "I meant get us out of here to somewhere safe!!!!" The other druid was way ahead of me though!! He had already begun casting his spell!!! Just as the creatures around us had seen we were there and coming towards us!!!!! Thankfully the spell finished before they could reach us.......we vanished.... When the magic cleared, we were really safe this time!!! In the commons!!! But our job wasn't over....... we had to go back!!!!!!! Though, the paladin was losing strength. With all of this battling becoming too much for him, and thankfully he had his equipment back. So he bid us farewell. Luckily we found a new 7th person....the great barbarian shaman Hukas the Mighty Bear!! I knew his power already! Though even with him here, I'd learnt the plane of fear still wasn't something to be taken lightly! But, we had another problem....with 7 people someone had to stay outside of the group..... I volunteered. After all, I'm an archer, I don't get hit! So it was better to have Hukas in the team to be looked after by the cleric! "Rosen....take this....just in case...." Hukas handed me a cap. He told me it was magic....and to touch it if there was no other way out. The druids wouldn't be able to help me this time..... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

After preparing, we again entered the plane of fear..... with most of us having our equipment this time and Hukas here, we managed to charm the gorillas and begin fighting....Murri distracting them as normal.
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Everything was going fairly smoothly this time......we killed a few more creatures, and the gorillas were doing their thing. Sure some more creatures had joined the fight, but nothing too bad I thought? As I ran to snare a creature away from the group, I heard a wooshing sound. Strange.....I turned around towards the group.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] They.....were ....gone..... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] How could this happen?!?!?!?!?!??!?? !! The cowards!!!!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Then I remembered the cap!!!! Was it too late?! I closed my eyes and stuffed my hand into my backpack and frantically felt around as the creatures attacked me!!! Then I felt it....a sharp sting.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] When I opened my eyes .....the creatures were gone.... and all around me I saw dead people staring into the distance...... Was I alive?!? What....where...... Was this a vision?!?! What was to come if we didn't stop Innoruuk?!?!?!?! Noooo!! I couldn't let it happen!!!!!!! I closed my eyes again and when I opened them I was in the commonlands, with normal dead bodies all around. Whew. It looked like I had made it out alive!!! But just barely!!!!! ..... We decided to try again!!! One last time!!! Again, Murri distracted the creatures ....though I noticed there were far less of them this time.... After a bit of fighting....we actually reached a point where we had killed everything after Murri. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Had we done it?! Had we....broken into the plane of fear?!?! Yes!!! We had done it!! We had achieved something great that night!!! Entered the plane of the gods and defeated their minions!!!!! But it was getting late and we were weary from so much adventuring. Perhaps trying to speak with Cazic Thule about Innoruuk wasn't the best idea.....I think I might just try to find that druid instead..... | ||

It took me a little while...but eventually I learnt that the rogue who had stolen the giant hand of guks ring sold it at the commons marketplace. Apparently there was a gnomish soldier who had come to purchase artifacts for research whom had bought it, but he had already begun his trek back home to Ak'anon.
I had to follow her! Before the gnomes did strange gnome things to the ring!! It looked like I was going to Ak'anon! It didn't take me too long to get there, as I tend to prefer to ride druids instead of the boat. As I came to the city, I wondered if the gnomes could invent a druid saddle for me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Inside I eventually found where the soldier was stationed. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But when I asked her what she had done with the ring....she said she had already given it to their clockwork King!! The problem was the King doesn't grant an audience with just any random elf.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Luckily, I always carry around pie and even clam chowder for such an emergency!!! Everyone knows a gnomes weakness is their stomach. With such delicious food to tempt the gnomes with, I was soon granted an audience with the king. He might be a clockwork, but the others sure weren't! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I explained to him the quest I was on ...and offered to buy the ring....but he said the gnomes needed it for their research. If it was research they were after, they had come to the right elf!! I'd been around the world!! Fought dragons!! And had all sorts of magic treasure!!! So I offered to let them examine my treasures if they would give me the ring (provided they didn't do weird gnome things to my treasure). His eye sockets grew a little brighter....it seemed we had a deal! So the next few days I stayed in Ak'anon practicing with my bow while the gnomes examined what I had. Overall it wasn't too bad.....just they really could use some longer beds... With the final piece I was ready to return to Ganelorn!!! Surely with all of the things I had worked so hard to collect he would teach me how to call the flame!!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But when I reached him....he said I had one last test to prove myself worthy.....I had to stop the king of the poachers!!! Vance Bearstalker!!! I'd only heard legends of him!! A poacher mightier than any other!!!! I wouldn't be able to defeat him alone.....or even with another archer....no, this was going to take some serious fighting power!! So, I sent out messages to my closest allies!!! Kadest, of course, was ready to answer the call and came right away! That left us looking for two more.....but it was so late in the season, finding adventurers was going to be difficult.... It looked like we would need some mercenaries. So, together we went to Freeport! The perfect place to find mercenaries!!! After some searching and posting help wanted signs....we eventually came in contact with a strange Iksar named Kiruru. He seemed to have a fetish for bones....but also seemed pretty strong! He would be a great teammate! Shortly after that a dwarf paladin named Arity said he wanted to join us also! He was a little lower level than me....but still the help was welcome!!! It looked like we had our band of heroes to defeat the poacher King!! A quick teleport later and we were back in Karana....ready for the hunt!!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I got to work tracking the king of the poachers..... finding him nearby on a hillside.... he hadn't seen me... I let a shot loose towards him and began running away. Sure he would be a bit angry and come after me.....right into our ambush! A few moments later, the real fight had begun!!! But this poacher was smart!! Instead of focusing on me or the dwarf....he ran straight for the Iksar first!!! Punching him with great force!! And with that, the Iksar fell over dead.....I guess he wasn't that powerful after all. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Though, the iksars minion saw what had happened and rushed at the poacher! Cackling as it swung its bony arms! But the poacher didn't care, he had his eyes on Kadest next!!! I tried to do what I could, shooting my arrows and snaring.... as the dwarf chased behind the poacher swinging his halberd. Eventually the dwarf distracted the poacher enough and it finally gave up on Kadest. Suddenly, the Iksar jumped up and began doing his magic!! I guess he got over being dead.....like I said, he was strange.....I was glad he was alive again at least. The fight waged on for what seemed like forever!! But we were definitely winning.... It was time to end it though...I took aim....and let loose a powerful shot. Striking Vance straight in the head. And with that, it was over.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I began tying a rope around the body to drag back to Ganelorn. He had told me he wanted the poachers head....but I wasn't going to do that! But as I was tying the knots....the dwarf walked up and chopped off the poachers head with his halberd.... Blood was everywhere!! The horror!!!! But oh well, it was lighter at least. I took the head to Ganelorn and at long last, my quest was complete!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] That night I poured over the scroll studying it and practicing.....by morning, I had mastered it!! Now I too knew how to call the flame!! | ||

It did the trick....and cazic fell....
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But at what cost?! In his death, he managed to take one last adventurer with him....falling and crushing an ogre!!!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] In the end the mission was successful!! The brave adventurers were safe! Surely they would have been overcome by the plane of fears dangers without an elvish archer backing them up. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Now it was final, I definitely wasn't ever going to get to talk to Cazic Thule about Innoruuk ...oh well. | ||

Rosen is a true server hero. I am sure the fell beast would not have been felled had it not been for your valor. <3 Rosen.
