Day 265, Year 542 of the Ascendancy<\/font><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\nToday I got to be part of an expedition to the Ethreal Plane, led by
\nthe strong leader Urgelt. The trip was quite a success, though we did
\nhave our difficulties. When we first decided to head to the Ethreal
\nPlane, two of the crystal fragments neccessary to create the guiding
\ncystal could not be found. Still, we scaled Tenebrion’s Tower anyway,
\nattaining the myst key, and two crystal fragments. We decided to wait
\nuntil the next day for the remaining crystal shards to appear, and sure
\nenough, they did. With the guiding crystal and myst key in hand, we
\nheaded into the Zodiac Room, which leads to the Ethreal Plane. I
\nmanaged to operate the guiding crystal, which was a bit tricky to
\nhandle at first, but grew easy enough to operate with use. Using the
\ncrystal as our guide, we managed to navigate the Zodiac Room
\nsuccessfully, losing only one of our party members. Then we faced the
\nchallenges of the Ethreal Plane.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

\nIn the Ethreal Plane, we were assaulted by all
\nmanner of powerful undine, yet our strong and tight-knit group managed
\nto persevere. Our party defeated the powerful Sword Guardian, and
\nattained an box, containing an Ethreal Sword– our objective. As soon
\nas the Sword was taken out of the box, the crystal and mystic key
\nvanished in a puff of mist. It was time to leave the Ethreal Plane, and
\nit was then that is when trouble struck. The signs of the Zodiac in the
\nEthreal Plane seemed to have moved around since last it was visited by
\nexiles, and half the party took the wrong sign. As a result, half of
\nour party found themselves facing Astral Guardians and Drakes in the
\nEthreal, instead of finding themselves in Purgatory. Only Yor, J’jh,
\nand myself were left within the Zodiac circle, confused as to which
\npath to take. By questioning those who had made it out successfully, we
\nfound the right sign, but too late– lightning from Astral Drakes
\nfelled me past healing. J’jh and Yor tried there best to push me out of
\nthe Plane, but it did not seem to work. Thus, I had to make it back to
\nPurgatory the old fashioned way.<\/font><\/p>\n

\nDespite all our difficulties though, our mission
\nwas a success. After we made our ways out of Purgatory, we met back at
\nTenebrion’s Demense. There, we took our turns playing around with the
\nEthreal Sword, testing it’s blade out on some of Tenebrion’s
\nunfortunate guards, before we headed into Tenebrion’s Keep, to speak
\nwith one of the Necromancers’s servants. We spoke with Tenebrion’s
\nservant, Sorer, and he agreed to trade us an Ethreal Portal Stone for
\nour Ethreal Sword. With the Ethreal Portal Stone, we can teleport into
\nthe Ethreal whenever we like.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

\nWe decided we should make another trip to the
\nEthreal, this time to explore the plane’s secrets fully. The raid on
\nthe Ethreal Plane is scheduled for tomorrow, and two parties will be
\nneeded to explore the vast Plane. One party will enter the Plane from
\nthe Zodiac Room to draw monsters, while another party will use the
\nEthreal Portal Stone, and lure away the undine. Once the snell is
\nsufficiently clear, both parties will join together, and explore the
\nmysteries of the Ethreal Plane. This shall definately be a most
\nmemorable expedition, and I can hardly wait ’til tomorrow!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
