Day 32, Year 538 of the Ascendancy

The isles of the Lok’groton Islan Chain are filled
with many mysterious and secret areas. As of late, it has become almost
a necessity to have at least some training in the field of pathfinding
to reach these hidden locales. I have recently begun training with the
Marsh Hermit myself, and I must say that progress is quite swift. Five
sessions will have you jumping over fences, and with ten you will start
crawling under trees and boulders. Traveling these paths can be a nice
shortcut, and it really is much fun; I hop around these paths many a
time soley for the sensation of travelling great distances in a short
time. Today I was doing just that, when I ran into some trouble.

When my head poked out of a tunnel I had found
between a pair of trees, I was astonished to see before me the colossal
feet of a greymyr. I quickly popped my head back in the tunnel, and
heaved a sigh of dismay. In my brief glance above, I had caught sight
of no less than five greymyr! What were the greymyr doing outside of
the mountains, yet again? Luckily, there was a party of bold
adventurers nearby, and together we began to hack away at the stone
titans. But these were no ordinary greymyr. Ordinry greymyr are bad
enough; they’re tough, they’re hard to hit, and they throw large
boulders at you. But these… these made ordinary greymyr seem like
children.

It took almost an hour just to slay two of the
five greymyr that were present. That was when the greymyr arrived in
town. I have no idea how any greymyr could have gotten past us, but
five greymyr just waltzed into town, and started dropping exiles like
flies. We still had three greymyr on our hands, but I rushed back to
town to aid those in desparate need of help. I was appalled by the
sight before me.

Bodies lay everywhere, screams and shouts came
from all directions, and in the midst of it all were five greymyr,
casually throwing in a boulder or two for effect. Things looked pretty
bleak for a while, as the corpses piled up, and the healers were too
harried by the flying rocks to heal the fallen. Finally, the East
Forest party dispatched the last of their greymyr, and together with
the survivors in town, the greymyr were cleared out. We had defeated
the greymyr yet again, but a question yet remained in our heads: “Why
did the Greymyr attack us?” The greymyr are for the most part a simple
and peaceful people, so something must have provoked them to attack us
on more than three separate occaisions in a single month. We must rush
to find the source of their irritation, before we are crushed beneath
the wrath of the greymyr.
