Lundi, day 5 of Summer, 578

After many years of hard study, I was finally awarded my first training ledger today! Following in the footsteps of my good friend Eros, I am now qualified to teach students in the art of mental energy recovery. So if you’re a mystic, and looking to improve your recovery times, come find me in town.

Mystic Training Ledger

To Learn and to Teach are the greatest joys in life.

Sombdi, day 11 of Winter, 577

I got to participate the Dun’ilsar competition hosted by Neko No Kessha today. As advertised, the contest was a V.I.A. challenge, where each clan worked to keep their team’s Agratis alive.

A lot of clans showed up without many members, so what ended up happening was that the smaller clans banded together to improve their odds. I decided to go it alone, despite being the only member of E’las Loth’mon Ferindril, and donned the mantle of Agratis Denden. I figured since the last Dun’ilsar challenge was won by a lone Agratis, I stood a chance, especially with the running skills I’ve honed as a mystic.

I pretty much kept in place for most of the challenge, running only when I sensed people were near. I had a few close calls with death, but managed to survive until the first clan, Neko No Kessha, was eliminated. The remaining members of NNK started seeking vengeance, though, and I was brought down by one of their rangers.

I ended up having to leave during the middle of the second challenge, but I heard that there were 3 contests in all, all of which were handily won by the Yellow Team, thanks to their superior fighting prowess and teleporting mystic. It was a fun challenge in all, and good to see the clan competition brought back again.

Neko No Kessha has a full report on their blog.

Gradi, day 48 of Autumn, 576

A lot of things have changed in the lands while I’ve been hidden in the library, and I’ve been having fun exploring once familiar places which have grown and changed with time. There also seem to be new developments afoot. For example, I’ve been noticing a number of strange acolytes wandering around, conducting strange experiments. Who knows what they’re up to, but it will be fun trying to get to the bottom of this.

Muwe Lundar Sign

Sign of the times

Came across this sign after the latest Chaos Storm (v618) swept through. Looks like I now have two signs in the lands with my name on it.

Merdi, day 77 of Summer, 576

After a long downtime, I’ve finally gotten around to restoring my old webscrolls. The new location for the scrolls is: http://puddleby.com/lundar/. There’s nothing much new yet, but I plan on writing about some of my more recent adventures, as well as some new projects I’m working on, plus there’s nearly forty puddle-years worth of archives to sift through.

I’m still in the process of getting everything organized, but let me know if anything’s amiss. I hope you enjoy reading through what is quickly becoming ancient Puddleby history.

Terrdi, day 46 of Spring, 574

Today I took a break from my lengthy stay in the library to find that there no longer was a library.

A rude awakening

A rude awakening

Apparently the last Chaos Storm caused the loose rubble that Hawkthorn and Raldin dug up all those years ago to collapse, pretty much destroying the Mystic Academy. I managed to clamber over the wreckage to stable ground, and found a worker frantically trying to clear away the rubble. Of course, he didn’t seem to have any shovels, wheelbarrows, or any other tools to help with the job, so this could take a while.

Afterwards, I tagged along on an exploration party to Ash Island, led by Stinkfist. I learned that the Darshak have been increasing their activity as of late, and that new parts of their Island had been discovered. It was exciting exploring around once familiar ground, but unfortunately, the trip didn’t end too well.

Thoom!

Sombdi, day 5 of Summer, 568

Thoomish has long been the language of traders and scholars, and I’ve always wanted to learn it, so I was pleased to hear from my teacher Par Troon today that I’d mastered his lessons. I can now speak the language of the Thoom fairly fluently, though I do still stumble on hitting some of the deeper notes. It’s definitely quite a departure from Illsardinish, although there are a few similarities. I can’t wait to crack open some Thoomish mystic texts that I’ve been wanting to read. Thoom!

Day 9 of Autumn, 567

Some Chaos Storms are more chaotic than others, and the latest Storm (v505) seems to have been rougher than usual. As soon as the Storm passed, a few of us started poking around to see if it had brought anything new, only to find that the Storm had blown all the locks off the Guild Halls! For a brief period of time, I had access to the fighter and healer halls. While the doormen were frantically running around to fix things, I was able to sneak in and take a look around the other Guild Halls for the first time, as well as the fighter and healer pubs.

Fortunately, the Mystic Guild Hall uses tougher locks than the other Guilds, so outsiders were only able to gain access to the Apprentice wing, but none of the other rooms. The locks were fixed fairly quickly, and order was restored, but it was fun to poke around the other Guilds while it lasted.

Last moon, instead of having a meeting, we visited the portal leading to the Boardwalk that appears in Puddleby roughly every four years. In addition to the usual games and facepaints, there was a stable for snail races and a new game called Spider Splat, which was amazingly addicting. With the help of Kani and Usagi, I was able to set a new record with a score of 24,514. Unfortunately, I barely had time to brag about it, before I was beaten out by another spider slayer. Oh well, at least it was fun while it lasted.

Apparently the rumors of Ayella’s death have been greatly exaggerated. She popped up the other day while I was sitting in town, and played us a few tunes on her harp, before quickly disappearing back into the library.
