Week 1:  Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, Noon

The Group starts in Ylourgne.  They decide to go to Glantri City.

You get directions from a helpful soldier. He says "Take the trail south from here to the edge of the hills, that is the border of Nouvelle Averoigne. At the village of Moulins the trail turns South East running along the Isoile river to Yvonnes, over the Loir river to the village of Les Hibou. Shortly afterwards you leave the Principality. The trail will then take you all the way to Glantri, safe jouney elven travelers!"

So we set out. The Moon is out in its Last Quarter, the sun is high in the sky. At 1:40 PM you leave the hills and the trail passes a tent with a sign. One of the languages on the sign is Elvish, Which Marcus can read. It says: "Welcome to the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne, long may House Sylaire rule! " We have traveled about 4 miles. It is obvious that you don't have to stop at the tent but you may do so if you so wish. Do you wish?

Week 2: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 13:41

The Party decided to go inside.

Your at the tent at the border of the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne and the Barony of Ylourgne in the Principalities of Glantri.

You open the flap and step inside, The ten is lighted by a glowing ball suspended from the ceiling. The tent is larger on the inside than it appeared from the outside. The tent is in the Ethengarian style: One main room and a smaller room in back. There are three tables. Two smaller round tables are in the corners on the same side as the entrance. One has Books and papers and a quill on it. The other is covered in trinkets. The third table is larger and rectangular, like a counter. Its between the entrance to the other room and the main entrance. It too has trinkets on it but the central portion is clear. There are two people in the tent. One is standing with their back to you at the small table with the trinkets, About 5 foot with long white hair. What personal characteristics aren't covered by the hair is covered by a long travelers cloak. The other person you can only see their silhouette. he/she is searching for something in the other room. The silhouette finds whatever its looking for and steps back into the main compartments. Its a Darokinian woman in her early 30's. She says (in Thyatian which only Sebastien understands, you'll have to ask him later if you really want to know) "E habeoereuiitum non nihil voluntas... atis..." Distracted as she notices us. "Oh..." she darts a nervous look towards the other person then address us in Elvish "How can I help you gentelmen?"

What do you want to do/say? 

Week 3: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 13:42

Neither of you responded despite the two extensions. Normally I would have something really nasty happen to you, or at least have the next event take you by surprise. But I couldn't think of anything (that wasn't just to have you stand there and not answer her question and look dumb.) Or did I? eviiil laugh You'd better be careful in the future now. I had to make up something for Sebastien to do so here it is:

Your at the tent at the border between the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne and the Barony of Ylourgne in the Principalities of Glantri

Sebastien says (in Elvish) "We were passing through and we saw your tent here, we were wondering what it is doing way out here in the middle of no where."
The Woman replies (in Elvish) "Oh... Well, um..., I got permission from the... Um... Glantrian Parliament to.... set up shop here.... Someday there will be tents like this at all borders for the travelers.... Travelers can get their questons answered about the principality they're entering,...... they can sign the novelty book over there, or...... just stop in for some quick, huhuh (she has a nervous laugh under her breath) chitchat while their horses get watered."
She is obviously trying to draw out the conversation while keeping you focused.
Sebastien (in Elvish): "And... I don't suppose they could also buy your little knickknakcs eh Seniorita?"
Woman (in Elvish) "Well.... A girls gotta make a profit somewhere, right? ...... So..... are there any questions I can answer for you?"
You now notice that the other person had at some point quietly slipped out of the tent.

What do you want to do/say?

Week 4: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 13:43

The Party is at a merchants tent at the border between the Barony of Ylourgne and the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne in the Principalities of Glantri.

Clain says (in Elvish): "Well what do you have for sale?" The Woman (in Elvish): "Take a look around for yourself." She says as she gestures at the counter and toward the small tables behind you. You take a moment to look at the items, its all miscellaneous knickknacks, some childrens dolls, and souvenirs, the kind that traveling merchants might buy to take back home, nothing that would interest brave adventurers right?
Noticing your apparent lack of interest in her merchandise, she says (in Elvish): "Perhaps if you could tell me what you would be interested in? I might have it in the back or I might be able to... acquire it."
What do you want to do/say?

Week 5: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 13:44

The Party is at a merchants tent at the border between the Barony of Ylourgne and the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne in the Principalities of Glantri.

Clain picks up an old dagger he finds in among the nicknacks. In Elvish he says "How much is this dagger?"
She replies (in Elvish) "That rusty ol..... oh, I could part with it for say 3 Ducats."
Clain says (in Elvish) "By Lolth, no I am not going to spend no 3 Ducats on that dagger."
She thinks it over for a moment then she replies (in Elvish) "Well, I suppose I could give it to for only 27 Soverigns, you sure know how to cut into a girls profit margin."

What do you do/say?

Week 6: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 13:43

The Party is at a merchants tent at the border between the Barony of Ylourgne and the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne in the Principalities of Glantri.

Clain Says (in Elvish) "No way!!"...... "How about i take it free and I don't kill you" Clain grabbs his dagger and starts waving it around like hes ready to fight someone.
Sebastien barks (In Elvish) "CLAIN!"
Clain says (in Elvish) "No, no, wait let me think about it for a little bit let me get back to you on that."
Sebastien and Marcus breath a sigh of relief.
Clain says(in Elvish) "I tell you what. step back about ten steps (to Sebastien and Marcus) i am going to throw my dagger in the air and if it lands blade in the ground I am going to get the dagger if not forget it and i am not going to get the dagger."
The merchant replies (in Elvish): "Wait a moment, what do I get if the blade doesn't dig into the earth? I risking giving you the dagger for free. If you want to take this gamble you gotta be willing to lose."
At this point I rolled a wisdom check for Clain: 11. Clain notices that the ground is solid rock.

What do you want to do/say.

Week 7: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 13:44

The Party is at a merchants tent at the border between the Barony of Ylourgne and the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne in the Principalities of Glantri.

Clain says (in Heldann) "Why don't I tell you this I am not going to throw my daggerup in the air and risk damageing it so this is what I am going to do... I will not that that usted up junk and I want to see if there is any thing else that I like."
The Merchant asks Sebastien and Marcus (in Elvish): "What did he just say? It sounded Heldannic."
Sebastien (in Elvish): "I don't speak Heldann." then looks to Marcus.
Marcus (in Elvish): "I speak Heldann and even I don't know what he just said, its not his best language especially when he's agrivated."
Sebastien, surprised (in Elvish to Marcus): "You mean there's times when hes actually not agrevated?"
Marcus replies (in Elvish): "Yeah, hard to imagine isn't it?" He turns to the merchant "I think he said forget the dagger and something about looking around some more."
The Merchant raises her voice so Clain can hear (in Elvish): " Perhaps I could be of more help if you could tell me what it is that you are looking for?"
By this time Clain's been looking around and there's nothing of interest that you can see except maybe a calendar (of course only Marcus is the only one of us that can read.)

What do you do/say?

Week 8: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 14:34

The Party is at a merchants tent at the border between the Barony of Ylourgne and the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne in the Principalities of Glantri.

Clain says (in Elvish) "Well let's not waste anymore time at this place and lets get out of here".
The Merchant says (in Elvish): "Surely There's something I could interest you in?" She still seems to be delaying you.
Sebastien says (in Elvish): "No thank you senorita, We'll be on our way."
The Merchant starts to say something else but by that time we are already out side. We resume following the trail. We pass through some clearland and at 14:34 we come to the village of Moulins.
Is there anything you want to do in the village or should we keep going?

Week 9: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 15:41
Neither of you responded, AGAIN! You know my policy.

The Party is at the village of Moulins.

We press on towards Glantri City. After traveling for about 4 miles we enter some forested hills @ 15:24. At 15:41, after travling for about 2/3 of a mile you hear something. As you stop to listen you realise it is the sound of combat and its coming from just the other side of the next hill. We rush up the hill to take a look. At the bottom of the hill there's 7 Humans engaged in a pitched melee with each other. It looks like theres another 2 on the ground either dead, dying, or wounded, as for which you can't tell from this distance. There also seems to be a dead dog. Weapons are swinging and spells are flying.
Quick, what do you do?

Week 10: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 15:42
I'm very disapointed! This is twice in a row now that no one has done anything. You're really asking for it aren't you? Well, here it goes.

The Party is in some forested hills in the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne in the Principalities of Glantri

Suddenly Sebastien gets up and starts to head down the hill. Before he can leave Marcus grabs him by the arm and pulls him back down to cover and says (in Elvish): "Were are you going? You're not going down there are you?"
Sebastien replies (in Elvish): "There's wounded down there."
Marcus (in Elvish): "Yeah, but there's seven of them."
Sebastien (in Elvish): "They seem rather focused on each other right now."
He tries to leave again but Marcus still holds him back.
Sebastien (in Elvish): "By Chardastes I'm going to help them, so listen, you can either help me or not. But if your just going to sit up here at least cover me okay."
With that Sebastien starts running down the hill and soon he's in the middle of the fray at the bottom. He grabs one of the wounded and starts dragging him to safety. After dragging him to a safe distance he darts back in to the melee. As he's dodging the combatants while trying to reach the other a stray fireball explodes near him and obscures your view. You don't know what happened to him.
What do you do?

Week 11: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 15:44
The Party is in some forested hills in the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne in the Principalities of Glantri

Marcus runs down the hill to find out what happened to Sebastien as Clain takes up a position 50 yds from the fight where he can cover Marcus.
As Marcus is nearing the bottom the smoke from the fireball clears enough that the fight can be seen again. Sebastien's Cloak is on fire and he's rolling on the ground trying to either put it out or get the cloak off. You also see someone running up to him from the other direction. Its someone with long white hair and a long travelers cloak (You don't have time to notice any other details). He removes his cloak and gets to Sebastien before Marcus even reaches the bottom of the hill and begins using it to smother the flames on Sebastien's back. When Marcus does reach the bottom he draws his Longsword. The combatants, upon seeing people rush at them from both sides stop their combat and group up in a defensive post ure. You ca n now see that it seems to be 3 against 4. Marcus stops running towards them and motions for Clain to hold his fire. The combatants now see Clain up on the hill with his bow drawn and realise that there are two on each side of them.
One of the men from the group of four address Marcus in broken Elvish (with a heavy accent): "Thiiis not your fight stranngers! Go avay!"
One of the ones from the other group tells that individual (in Elvish with a heavy accent): "You canna give orders hea, this is Averoigne! Why don ya go back to yer principat, no?"
The first one replies "Ill du vhetever I vanna tu du espya!"
The second one replies back "espya? we-a were-a jus trafeleeng elung n yuoo a-ttecked us fur nu reesun."
From there they switch back to there native tongues and it begins to degrade into a shouting match.
First one "Ok n�lk�l! �zlet te da �sszer�s�g te bestolkovyj diszn�!" and raises his sword.
Second one "Ah, je suis le huh de porc? Peut-jtre vous devriez regarder dans un miroir!".
First one "A fene egyen meg! Te h�lye! Majd ell�tom a bajodat!".
Second one "Allez-y et essayez! Vous montrera vers le haut!".
First one "Hogy mer�szeled! Ezt m�g megkeser�l�d!".
One of the other members of the group of four jumps in "Laisso l'expositiun cis imbicilis qu'ols ni peuvint pes salor avic Malachie!"
Now all of them are shouting and it looks like it could very quickly resort again to blows. The stranger finishes smothering the flames on Sebastien.

What do you do?

Marcus gains 10xp role-playing bonus. (+5/+5)
Sebastien takes 2 hp of damage from the flames.

Week 12: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 15:46
The Party is in some forested hills in the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne in the Principalities of Glantri

To Marcus

Sebastien quickly thanks the stranger then proceeds to the wounded he was on his way to help before the fireball exploded. He quickly takes the victims pulse then goes back to the first victim and starts treatment.
One of the ones from the group of four (not one of the ones you've heard speak before) notices and says something to the leader of his group: "Pior, Regard!" and points at Sebastien.
The leader looks at then loudly yells (in broken, heavily accented Elvish): "get avay frum hair!"
Sebastien breifly looks up but for the most part ignores him.
He says (again in broken, heavily accented Elvish): "Ah seed get avay fum er!" And he starts to take a menacing step towards Sebastien (remember he has his sword drawn). The group of three starts to make a countermove, this could be the cause of the renewed blows...
Then Marcus says (in Elvish, towards the stranger and Sebastien): "I think we'd better make a hasty withdraw."
To which Sebastien replies (in Elvish): "Not yet Marcus, I came down here to help them."
The leader of the group of four then says (in Elvish): "Boot vhat abought Bernier?"
Sebastien briefly pauses to look over his shoulder at the other victim and replies (in Elvish): "Him? He's pretty far gone." Then resumes his work, "She's more likely to survive."
This is the first that you notice that the wounded one Sebastien is working on is indeed a woman.
The leader of the group of three says to Sebastien (in broken Elvish while keeping an eye on the others): "How is-a Isidore-Fabrisse? Weil shay mayke it?"
Sebastien replies (in Elvish): "I definitely think so, but we need to get some water to clean these wounds to prevent an infection."
The leader of the group of Four interjects (in Elvish, sort of): "Now vhat about Bernier?"
Sebastien replies (in Elvish): "He's probaly dead by now."
The leader of the group of four says to the other group: "DA!! Guy, te vagy a hib�s!" then to Marcus and Sebastien (in Elvish) "annd vith you!" You can tell he's getting very agitated now and just as hes about to make a combat move one of his men grabs his shoulder and whispers something in his ear. "Very vell," Then to the other group "teal nicks team Guy." And then to you he says "Annn you vould be vise to steey owt of thiis stranngers. Do vidanya!" With that the group of four begins to slowly back away.
What do you do?

Sebastien makes a succesful healing check (7) and heals Isidore-Fabrisse for 3hp.
Sebastien gains 30xp (+30/+0)

To Clain

Sebastien gets up and runs over to the wounded he was on his way to help before the fireball exploded. He kneels over the wounded then quickly returns to the other wounded individual. One of the members of the group of four points at Sebastien and the leader yells something at him. Sebastien seems to ignore him. He yells at Sebastien again and starts to advance on him, you increase the tension on your bow in preparation to fire on him before he can harm Sebastien but at the last moment the other group moves to interviene and he stops his advance. Marcus and Sebastien seem to have a quick conversation. Now the leaders of the two groups seem to be conversing with Sebastien who is still crouched over the wounded (undoutably giving aid). All of a sudden the leader of the group of four starts yelling, first at the other group then at Marcus and Sebastien. He suddenly raises his sword so you pull back further on the bowstring and you are just about to relase the arrow, one of his own men holds him back. You breath out a sigh of releaf and relaxe some of the tension on your bow. Then he says something to the other group and then something to Marcus and Sebastien and then his group starts to slowly back off.

What do you do?

Week 13: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 15:47
I am very sorry. I have been really, really sick the last two weeks so thats why I haven't been doing this. I'm very sorry. To make up for it I'm going to forget one of the weeks where you guys didn't reply. I'm sorry.
James- I couldn't understand what you wrote last time. Was it in english? Something about you being a noble smurf and blackmailed. All I could understand was that you started running down the hill so thats as far as this one will go.
The Party is in some forested hills in the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne in the Principalities of Glantri

The other group is backing away when suddenly Clain starts charging down the hill. The leader sees this and draws his sword to attack clain until one of the others in his group yells "Pior, No! we hava hour ordares, remember?"
Pior calms down and replies: "Da, lets geet out ah hea."
With that the other three (all but Pior) blurs into wolves. Pior mounts one and they all bound away.
Upon seeing most of them turn into woves, one of the ones from the other group exclaims "Sacreblue! I thought Pior had become one of them too."
Now your left at the bottom with the one group and the two dead werewolves.

What do you do/say?

Clain gains 748xp and is now at 4748 (8000)
Marcus gains 748xp (+374xp/+374xp) and is now at 379/379 (2500/2000)
Sebastien gains 748xp (+374xp/+374xp) and is now at 1654/1484 (2500/1500)

Week 14: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 15:48
Your both getting different messages again this week.
The Party is in some forested hills in the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne in the Principalities of Glantri

to Clain:

You don't actually have to do anything this week:

Your most of the way down the hill by now. You see Marcus turn around back to face everyone. You can't tell if he's conversing with them or not. You resume alking down the hill towards the group.

to Marcus:

Marcus turns around and starts to ask (in Elvish): "What's going on he...." But then he stops in mid sentence as he finally gets a look at the stranger who helped Sebastian, and his eyes go wide with realisation..... Its a shadow elf..... The same kind that your grandparents told you horror stories about.... the same ones that drove the Alfheim elves out of Alfheim four years ago and across war-torn and plague ravaged lands, scores of thousands of elves died from the plague, mainly Alfheim elves but also a few Wendarian elves as well as a few Wendarian humans, as the refugees brought the plague from Glantri to Wendar.... (Karameikos and Wendar are now inundated with Alfheim refugees including your friend Kagemaru)... and the same kind that mutated the beautiful Canobolarth forest of Alfheim into the hideous and twisted blight oaks of Aengmor.... This Shadow Elf is now standing there before you.... Your first impulse is to draw your longsword and split him in two on the spot.... But then you think, why would a shadow elf help us? Is it some sort of trick?.... You realise that if your going to something you'd better do it fast because once Clain notices the stranger he won't even think twice before firing on him....

What do you do?

Week 15: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 15:48

The Party is in some forested hills in the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne in the Principalities of Glantri
Clain, as you get closer to the bottom of the hill you realise that Marcus isn't talking or anything, he just seems to be staring at the stranger who helped Sebastien. You take your first good look at the stranger now that your close enough to see him and realise that.......... It's a shadow elf!!!!! The same kind that your grandparents told you horror stories about.... the same ones that drove the Alfheim elves out of Alfheim four years ago and across war-torn and plague ravaged lands, scores of thousands of elves died from the plague, mainly Alfheim elves but also a few Wendarian elves as well as a few Wendarian humans, as the refugees brought the plague from Glantri to Wendar.... (Karameikos and Wendar are now inundated with Alfheim refugees including your friend Kagemaru)... and the same kind that mutated the beautiful Canobolarth forest of Alfheim into the hideous and twisted blight oaks of Aengmor.... This Shadow Elf is now standing there before you.... Your first impulse is to shoot an arrow through its heart where it stands....
One of the ones from the group you helped saved notices you and Marcus staring at the helpful stranger, he looks from you to him and back to you before saying (in Belcadiz Elvish): "What is wrong?"
Sebastien then notices that something is wrong, (in Belcadiz Elvish): "Guy's, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a cockatrice."
The shadow elf realises he's been discovered and he quickly draws his sword. He begins to back away but not before saying (in Alfheim Elvish of all languages): "Were even now... You spared my life in the tent, and were even now, do you understand?"

What do you do?

Week 16: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 15:49

The Party is in some forested hills in the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne in the Principalities of Glantri
The shadow elf continues to back away with his sword drawn. Your first instinct is to slay it on the spot.
Sebastien says to the shadow elf (in Belcadiz Elvish): "Wait a minute, you don't need to go anywhere." then to you two "What's going on guys? your treating him like he's a drow or something."*
The shadow elf also seems surprised by Sebastien's reaction and stops backing away but he still has his sword drawn and by now is at the edge of the clearing.
The one from the group of humans again says (in Belcadiz Elvish): "Would someone care to explain what is going on here?"

What do you do?

 Week 17: Flaur mont 26th, Nytdain, 15:49

The Party is in some forested hills in the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne in the Principalities of Glantri

The shadow elf paused and seemed surprised at Sebastiens words but quickly turns and runs away into the forest.
One of the group of people you helped asks (in Elvish): "What is going on!? What was that all about and who was that?"
Sebastien adds (in Elvish): "That's something I'd like to know also..."

Are one of you going to explain this or not?

Week 18: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 15:50

Would one of you respond please! You've already drug all the suspense out of the scene.

The Party is in some forested hills in the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne in the Principalitys of Glantri

Your in the clearing after the fight, Sebastien and the strangers are wanting to know what the deal with the Shadow Elf was and you two and Sebastien want to know what the humans were fighting about.

The one of them that knows Belcadiz elvish askes Sebastien: "What is wrong with them?"
Sebastien replies (in Belcadiz Elvish): "I don't know, its like a hold spell has been cast on them." He walks over to you two and waves his hand in front of your face "Snap out of it."
The human asks "Should we cast a Dispel Magic on them?"

If you don't respond your going to get Dispel Magic cast on you.

Week 19: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 15:51

You wanted to stick with the humans for now. It would be a little obvious to just follow them since your right there...

The Party is in some forested hills in the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne in the Principalitys of Glantri

Your in the clearing after the fight.

The humans (and Sebastien) still seem rather dubious about your refusal to explain your fued with that shadow elf but the put it aside for the moment.
The one who knows Belcadiz elvish speaks: "My friends! thank you for your assistance. I am Raynald-Louis, This is Guy," points to the apparent leader, the same one who can speak broken elvish "Thats Claude, and as you already know this is Isidore-Fabrisse". indicating the woman who is just begining to come around.
Guy is obviously a mage, Claude is dressed in chain mail while the other two are wearing leather armor.
Sebastien notices that Claude and Raynald-Louis are injured, among numerous cuts and scarps Claude has a nasty sword cut to left chest and a knee wound and Raynald has a deep sword cut in his left arm. "Let me take a look at your wounds while we talk" and he starts tending to them. "I'm Sebastien de Montebello y Casanegra and these two are Clain and Marcus"

What do you say know? now would be a good time to reask your question Marcus.

Week 20: Flaurmont 26th, Nytdain, 15:52

The Party is in some forested hills in the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne in the Principalitys of Glantri

Your in the clearing after the fight.

Marcus asks (in Elvish): "Who are you and where did you come from?"
Raynald-Louis replies (in Belcadiz Elvish): "As I said, I'm Raynald-Louis de Perigon, that's Guy de Touraine, Claude d'Vyonnes, and Isidore-Fabrisse d'Touraine. We were on our way to Cha..."
Sebastien interupts (in Belcadiz Elvish) in surprise (He had been examining Claude's wounds) "That looks like an acid wound!"(indicating his knee wound).
Raynald-Louis replies (in Belcadiz Elvish): "Yes, a 'gift' from Elphege, some sort of acid arrow or something."
Sebastien (in Belcadiz Elvish): "hmm... Acid wounds are difficult to treat with Medicine and herbs, there won't be much I can do, but I'll try."
Raynald-Louis translates that to Claude then continues explaining (in Belcadiz Elvish): "Um, anyway, we were on our way to Chateau Sylaire when Pior and his 'lykies' assailed us here on the road. We were holding our own before you came but it could of gone either way. My friends, please come with us to Sylaire, Prince Henri shall want to hear of Malachie's latest... Um... I'm afraid that my Elvish isn't perfect, I do not know the word for it." Then half to himself "If the elves even have one for it."

What do you do say?

Part II

NOTE 1- Remember, Belcadiz elves are very different from other elves of Mystara in many aspects including cultural legends and beliefs, you guys had never heard the word "drow" before now.
