Day 107, Year 542 of the Ascendancy<\/font><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

\n
\nToday there was a large number of mystics in town, and everyone knows
\nthat with such a large concentration of mystical energy, something is
\nbound to happen. And it did. Some of us took it into our heads that we
\nshould do something as a group, and show the world the power of
\nmystics. Soon the idea was catching on, and before yi knew it, the
\nfirst Mystic Raid was unleashed upon the isles. Our first casualty was
\nthe north guard towers. Our force of six mystics sprung upon the guard
\ntowers, and before yi could blink an eye, the guards towers were left
\ndevoid of all rodent life. We then moved on to bigger and greater
\nthings…<\/font><\/p>\n


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

\nAfter we cleared out the north guard tower, our
\nparty moved on to the west guards towers. We were greeted there by a
\nmultitude of rats, scorpions, and vermine, but we defeated these with
\nease. After defeating the hordes of rats, we decided to take on the rat
\ntunnel. This proved to be harder than we thought. Inside the rat tunnel
\nwere no less than five skeletals, and soon several of our party members
\nlay fallen. However, they had managed to take a few of the skeletals
\nwith them, and their fallen bodies acted as shields. Those of us
\nremaining rested up, and with a few powerful boosts, we were able to
\ndefeat the skeletals.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

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

\nAfter we defeated the fearsome skeletals, we
\ndecided to call in a few healers. The healers arrived soon enough, and
\nthose of us who had fallen were put back on their feet. We’d just won a
\ngreat victory, but we weren’t about to stop there. We mystics slipped
\nthrough a path in the eastern walls of the tunnel, and headed off into
\nthe darkness of Puddleby’s underground.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

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

\nInside Puddleby’s undergound, we met many powerful
\nfoes indeed. We encounted rats, vermine, arachnes, and skeletals
\naplenty, and we even had to fight off the occaisional hooded corpse and
\nona chigger as well. We even encountered some fungus in the dephths of
\nPuddleby’s underground. Perhaps one of our greatest challenges came
\nwhen we encountered a giant skeletal near the exit of the underground.
\nThe skeletal gave us quite a challenge, what with it’s powerful arms
\nand long reach. We did manage to defeat the beast, but not before it
\nhad taken out some of our members. We were pretty close to the exit
\nthough, so we began to push our fallen comrades towards the ossuary of
\nthe healer’s temple. The Mystic Sutai joined our party to lend us some
\nof his crazy Monk power.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

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

\nA final challenge awaited us in the ossuary,
\nthough. A single giant skeletal stood between us, and safety. What’s
\nmore, this skeletal was even more powerful than the one we had
\nencountered before, and several of our party members were fallen. We
\nmanaged to push some of the fallen exiles near the skeletal to form a
\nmake-shift wall, and proceeded to suround and pound the skeletal.
\nHowever, the skeletal proved to be even more powerful than we’d
\nthought, and proceeded to fell most of our number, and only I was left
\nstanding after the brutal attack of the skeletal. However, I was soon
\njoined by the apprentice Forey, and with his wonderful atkus boosts, we
\nwere able to injure the giant skeletal.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

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

\nThings still looked pretty iffy though, as both
\nForey and I were down to low health because of the skeletal. Several
\nhealers came to the ossuary, drawn by the falling mystics, but we asked
\nthem not to interfere with us. This skeletal was going to be taken down
\nby the Mystic Guild, and we didn’t need any outside help. The healers
\nwere content to stand on the side and watch, and soon the apprentice
\nWutold joined our party, and together with Forey and myself, we were
\nable to bring down the giant skeletal.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

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

\nWith the felling of the final boss, the healers
\nwere allowed to heal us once more, and we had a small celebration in
\nthe ossuary. The Mystic Guild had managed to the clear out both of the
\nnorth and west guard towers, the rat tunnel, and the entire Puddleby
\nunderground! After some celebration and silliness though, we decided
\nthat wasn’t enough. We debated on a new location to tackle, and it was
\ndecided that we would clear out the well in the east farms. However,
\nthis proved to be much more difficult than any of us had expected.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

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

\nInside the well were many dangerous creatues such
\nas adders and arachne, but most of all, what killed us were bats. Bats;
\nthose tiny rodent creatures that fly around, and scratch at yi with
\ntheir talons. Even with numerous atkus boosts, we had difficulty
\nhitting the bats, but the bats had no such problems hitting us. Soon
\nenough, the bats were defeated, but once again mystic corpses lay all
\nabout. We called for healers once more, and once we were all healed up,
\nwe headed back in.<\/font><\/p>\n

\nWe managed to clear out the south-west corner of
\nthe well, but a spawn of large arachne killed off much of our party,
\nand we decided to call it quits. The fallen exiles were pushed out, and
\nthe healers were called to aid us one last time. Thus ended the first
\never Mystic Raid, conducted by Puddleby’s Mystic Guild. Through our
\nantics we managed to make Puddleby a little safer for exiles to live
\nin, and maybe even showed people the power of mystics. The moral of the
\nstory:<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
