Day 204, Year 546 of the Ascendancy

Today I got to be a part of an Foothills exploration party lead by
Gurgi. We gathered in the meadow early in the morning, then headed deep
into Orga territory. Our group was quite large, and it took us a while
to get through the Orga Outback because people kept getting lost.

We eventually made it to the Dred Passage, and cut
our way through the fire and lightning to reach to the Foothills. The
Foothills and the Dred Wood beyond it were the same as always, and to
make a long story short, we were unable to find anything new. The
crumbling wall still blocked our passage, and we made our way back to
town, disapointed.

Meanwhile, while our party was in the Foothills,
something interesting was going on in Melabrion’s dungeon. As I wrote
in my previous entry, several of Melabrion’s miners have been trapped
within Melabrion’s mines, after they unwittigly released an ancient
evil. Today, the wizard Melabrion requested the aid of several exiles
to go into his mines, and rescue the two fallen dwarfs.

The party did as Melabrion requested, fighting off
rippers, cobras, and the deadly Tok’Han, to rescue the fallen miners,
Gos’hotha and Ha’yr’vok. My friend Axis was kind enough to share a Vision Stone of the valiant rescue.

Afterwards, Melabrion considered closing off his
mines forever, but he decided instead to keep them open as a hunting
ground for exiles, as a sign of gratitude to the rescue party.
Melabrion’s mines are sure to be a popular hunting spot for a while to
come.
