Day 28, Year 538 of the Ascendancy

T’rool invasions seem to grow more and more common
with each passing day. Though Usnar usrges exiles to help him in his
effort to build an outpost for T’rools, his pleas seemingly fall on
deaf ears, for the outpost is nowhere near completion(though what an
outpost could do to stop an invading force of T’rools is yet to be
seen). In the meanwhile, exiles get to enjoy the excitement of constant
T’rool invasions. It is still unclear what the Vol’Kin and the Sar’Noth
discussed on that fateful day(see Day 19), but more and more T’rools
seem to pour forth from the deep mines of the T’rool Town.

Today, another army of T’rools crept through the
South Forest, and were first spotted around the southern reaches of
Puddleby. Soon, an army of our own was assembled, and the exiles
marched through the south forest in the daily ritual of clearing the
woods of T’rool Kin. The army marched all the way down to the T’rool
Town, and the hunt finally ended in the mines, which were impassable as
usual(at least for now). The exiles then split up, and doubled back on
their tracks, erradicating the last remnants of T’rools.

After the exiles returned to Puddleby, things
began to quiet down a bit. Exiles were lulled into a false sense of
security, but this was only the calm before the storm. I was exploring
the South Forest with a band of adventures, when the plea for help rang
through our heads. We quickly ran towards Puddleby, wondering what new
terror was striking now. The sunstone messages were broken, and
unclear, and the exact nature of the threat was unclear. We rushed past
the southern gates of Puddleby, and nothing could prepare us for the
sight that we beheld.

Those purple globs yi see on the sketch aren’t Giant Slugs, they’re Gigantic
Slugs. They are closer kin to the Tahxis Wurm than the Giant Slug, if
yi ask me, and they are very powerful foes. As I helped to vanquish
these vermin from Puddleby, I was set upon by a Cave Cobra, and several
Palidews. It seemed that all manner of pests and vermin had decided to
set upon Puddleby this day, and some of the creatures included Myrm,
and strange beetle like creatures, along with wurms and island locusts.
Continuing with the recent trend, the creatures combined their might in
an effort to crush Puddleby; but of course, we prevailed. Something
really big is going down if yi ask me. That, or some ancient is playing
a mighty fine trick on us all…(Check out a Vision Stone of the Cave Cobra and the Gigantic Slugs).
