Day 228, Year 542 of the Ascendancy

The 189th Chaos Storm has swept the lands, and so far little new has
been discovered. The T’rool Outpost in south forest still remains
unopen, and no new areas have been discovered thus far. However, I have
heared that the Valley has grown much more difficult, and all
throughout the day desparate cries for help in the Valley could be
heard over the sunstone. Personally, I had greater things to worry
about, like my financial troubles, which have yet to improve. I am now
so poor that I have taken to studying in Parric’s cheaper library,
instead of the more costly extention. At least my chain has been
holding up pretty well, and I’ve managed to get 63 uses out of it so
far. Master Loovma Geer also says that I am progressing well in my
training, so I am happy.

Anyway, today I decided to revisit the Volcano on
Devil’s Isle, to see if the Chaos Storm had brought anything new to the
domain of the Fire Drakes. I managed to convince the healer Aethelred
and the fighter Johan to accompany me, and we headed for the entrance
to the McBolie Caverns. However, when we arrived, I could not open the
path into the Caverns– I couldn’t even see it! Frustrated, we tried
everything from banging heads to whispering prayers, but it was all to
no avail. Thus, our party was forced to turn back, with the Volcano was
left unexplored. At least my new map of Devil’s Isle is coming along
nicely. Hopefully I will get a chance to revisit the Crater soon.
