Who is this mystery woman?

Sasha’shin helped me perform the incantation of OGL today, and now everything looks wonderfully clear! The effects are fantastic– it’s almost as if I’ve gotten a new set of eyes! It’s been a lot of fun visiting places I know, just to see how things look with my new sight.
Below are some sketches I’ve made with the help of my enhanced vision:
Town center’s never looked this good before!
I had the opportunity to speak with Melabrion for a short while today, along with a few others. With Shrub translating, we were able to learn that Melabrion and his brothers have finally gotten results from their research into teleportation stones.
Unfortunately, Melabrion told us that he would require a fee before he would share the results with us. He also said that the fee would go towards paying for the Sarir that was recently sent to Puddleby to teach Smythus some new crafts.
Melabrion says that he has created a small hut on one of the newly opened spheres of the Ethereal Plane, with a Sarir who is collecting “donations” on his behalf. It seems that exiles will have to make a dangerous trek and hand over some coins if we are to learn what Melabrion has in store for us.

Today we had a joint hunt with clan Hunter in Melabrion’s Mines. We were a little short on healers, but that did not stop us from venturing deep into the lair of the Tok’han.
Trouble struck us, however, when we lost a number of our fighters who had tried to “peek” into the infamous Snake Pit within Melabrion’s Mines. We tried a number of distraction tactics to lead the monsters away from the entrance, and were about to make a desparate charge into the Pit, when we were joined by members of the Order of the White Elephant, who had been hunting above.
The Tok’hans and Cobras in the Pit were no match for the combined might of our three clans, and we quickly cleared the cavern, and pressed on deeper. This was the first time that many of us had visited the deeper caverns of Melabrion’s Mines, so it was very exciting.
We encountered Lime Tok’hans and Tok’han Shamans, whom I had previously only read about on scrolls. We were forced to turn back, however, when we encountered a powerful Emerald Tok’han, that none of our fighters could hit.
It was quite an exciting hunt, and I hope to be able to venture forth deeper into the Tok’han caves some day. Below are some sketches that I made during the hunt:

Today was the much anticipated joint hunt with clan Open Hands. Our two clans began gathering in the Puddleby Monastery early in the morning, before the sun had even risen. The time proved to be a bit too early for many ELFs, but we still had a decent turnout, with a strong showing from Open Hands.
Once all of our clanmates showed up, and we had our preparations in order, we headed off for today’s destination: Dal’Noth Isle.
The other day there was a huge invasion of slime monsters. I don’t know where they came from, but they were first spotted in East Field; gradually spreading to the farms and Puddleby itself.
A bunch of us(Sasha, Veq, Pel, and myself) were there to help fight off the slimes. We held the slimes at the eastern gates, where a large group of exiles assembled to fend off the invasion.
It was quite tough fighting an enemy that kept multiplying as we fought them, but eventually we realized that it was most effective to concentrate on fighting just one slime at a time. Soon we were able to defeat the slimes, and the only sign that they were there at all were the slick trails of goo left in the grass.
For those who haven’t been keeping up with recent events, exiles were finally able to purchase the full-text of the book that Fat Alice has been touting as the way to kill Rowl, a super-powerful Lyfelidae that has been terrorizing Kizmia’s Isle of late. The pages of the book were all written in code, but exiles were able to decipher the text, which reads as follows:
“Rowl the violent first born and bitter”
“Groar the peaceful last of the litter”
“Rowl in anger ate all of the kits”
“Groar fled away by using his wits”
“Rowl hungers and searches the last to devour”
“Groar unearthed the source of their power”
“Rowl takes the strength of all of his kin”
“Groar only sleeping may save his skin”
“Rowl ignorant with the stone he could rule”
“Groar the wise guards the powerful jewel.”
What this has to do with defeating Rowl is still unclear. I suspect we will need to obtain the jewel, which is mentioned in the verses of the poem.
I received these by pigeon today:
I got two white shirts(I had to pretend to be a healer) and one grassy green shirt, with the artwork of Sor and Poesy, respectively. The shirts cost quite a few coins, especially with a mystic’s budget, but they’re worth every penny. They can be obtained from the Scrolls of Zazzle.
The illusionist Senfantia visited Puddleby yesterday, and a few of us were fortunate enough to speak with her. Senfantia told us that her research of phantasms is coming along well, thanks to the generous donations of exiles and proceeds from raffles.
Senfantia demonstrated for us the 8th phantasm page, which creates a colorful sparkle, and decided to give it away as a prize for an impromptu contest of phantasm skill. The Zo Strafuli won the contest handily, but ruined the page while attempting to copy it. Hopefully Senfantia will return soon, and bring more copies of her pages.
