Day 101, Year 549
6:30pm… We finally seem to be making progress! Town center has
noticeably fewer Darshak than there were just a few hours ago. However,
we still need to clear the rest of town, along with all of the
surrounding areas. There is also the matter of Kiril Drakesblood, who
is still running around town causing trouble to exiles. She was strong
enough to slay me with a single blow from full health… though that
probably isn’t saying much.
“Lundar has fallen to Kiril Drakesblood”
Day 101, Year 549
Charge!
4:45pm… Elenis Reyav is leading a series of charges, in which all of
the exiles in the two libraries and main temple charge out at once to
do battle against the Darshak. So far we haven’t been too succsseful,
but I think I am beginning to see some progress, in the town center at
least. There also seems to be a group fighting out of the west Rat
Towers, which is doing some damage to the Darshak forces. However, at
the current rate of progress, it will be several days before the town
is clear of pirates…
Day 101, Year 549
9:30am of the 11 Day of Spring… the Darshak invasion shows no sign of
diminshing, and in fact it seems as if the number of Darshak in town
may actually be increasing.
Earlier I tried to lead a rescue party to the North Beach, where there
were still fallen exiles from the first wave of the invasion. We took
the long road through the underground, and made our way out of Puddleby
via the Hive. However, when we finally made it to the East Field, we
found it was completely overrun with Darshak. Ditto for the North Field
and the Farms.

My apoligies to Arod, Talin, Norm, Moonkitty, Benylin, Xantcha,
and Clawstrophobios. I had no idea that things outside of Puddleby were
so bad.
In another development, Kiril Drakesblood was tried and found
guily by the Puddleby court of “being an evil brat”. She was fined 42
coins and sentenced to 5 days of Banishment from Puddleby. She was also
thrown in the Puddleby jail, but managed to escape with the aid of her
pirate cohorts.
Day 101, Year 549
It is now nearly 6:00 am on Fordi the 11th, and the invasion shows no
sign of abating. The town is still completely overrun by Darshak, with
small groups of exiles fighting out of buildings, trying to push back
the Darshak forces. What’s more, the Darshak Kiril Drakesblood has
finally arrived, taunting fallen exiles in town center. Currently, she
is threatening to take our beer, rob our bank, and destroy our altar.

Day 101, Year 549
It is now a little past midnight on the 11th Day of Spring, and the
invasion is in full force. Puddleby has been almost completely overrun
by Darshak and Necro is conducting some sort of Dark Ceremony in the
Dark Temple. Now nearly 170 exiles are fighting from inside the Temple
and other buildings to get the town back.
Fortunately, the underground passages below Puddleby have yet
to be infiltrated by the Darshak. Thanks to the blunder of the miners,
the tunnels now connect the temple, the library, and other buildings.
Those just coming out of the library should use these tunnels to move
around town… the surface is no longer safe for exiles.

Day 100, Year 549
It seems that the undine activity on Ash Island may have been a trap to
lure exiles off of Puddleby. There are now about two dozen exiles who
have fallen on Ash Island, and have been dragged away into the Dark
Temple by Necro. Now, however, there are 15 Warships on the ocean and
an army of Darshak on west beach. The invasion has begun.
It begins…
Day 100, Year 549
Shortly after 5pm, the mystics in the lands(including myself) sensed
Dark Magic in the air. A small party of exiles headed to the Ash Island
to investigate, and found hordes of undine surrounding the Dark Temple,
including Banshees, Faithless, and Greater Deaths. The necromancer
Necro has also been seen in the lands. We are now on Ash Island,
attempting to cut through the hordes of undine, and find out what the
Darshak are up to.

Day 100, Year 549
It is now almost 5:00pm on Merdi the 10th, and there is still no sign
of Kiril Drakesblood, or any invasion. I took a short nap at the docks,
but when I awoke, there were still no signs of any Darshak. There are
now more than a 100 exiles in the lands, waiting for the invasion that
many fear is coming. In preparation, the western gate has been forted
up with kudzu, as have portions of the Puddleby underground near the
temple.
Getting ready
Day 100, Year 549
It is now around 1:30am, and we were just attacked by a group of about
two dozen Darshak Spies. The small group of us who were waiting at the
Docks were overwhelmed, but the spies stood little chance against our
rescuers. The spies made a number of threats before being quickly
dispatched.
