Today, on a<br \/>\nrelatively uneventful day following the Bawkmas holiday, Crius reported<br \/>\nthat there was trouble in the Dark Chamber. Curious as to what the<br \/>\ntrouble might be, I quickly rented myself a boat, and headed for the<br \/>\nDark Chamber. However, when I landed on Ash Island, I noticed that<br \/>\nsomething was amiss. A strange odor hung in the air, and the island was<br \/>\nwracked by several small earthquakes. Suddenly, seemingly out of<br \/>\nnowhere, several Scaramis Foragers and Larvae appeared, and proceeded<br \/>\nto fell me in record time. A small rescue party soon arrived for me,<br \/>\nand after raising me back on my feet, we proceeded to explore the<br \/>\nScaramis Pen area. The sight that greeted us was shocking.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>At first, there were only a few Foragers within<br \/>\nthe Pen, but soon more and more Scaramis appeared from out of the<br \/>\nground, until the Pen was literally filled with Scaramis of different<br \/>\nhues. To make matters worse, the Scaramis dug a tunnel beneath the<br \/>\nthick walls of their pen, and proceeded to attack us. Luckily for us,<br \/>\nreinforcements soon arrived, and we were able to push the Scaramis<br \/>\nback. After clearing the Scaramis on the outside, we entered the Pen<br \/>\nthrough the tunnel, to discover another surprise: the Keep of the<br \/>\nmagician Lugubrion! However, once inside the Pen, we found that we<br \/>\ncould not get back outside. The only exits, we soon found, were the<br \/>\nsculls that lined the Pen, which led out into the Ethereal Plane.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>However, this snell of the Ethereal was like no<br \/>\nother that we had encountered before. In the center of the snell was a<br \/>\nsmall formation of sculls, which lead back to Lugubrion&#8217;s Keep, and the<br \/>\nrest of the snell was filled with deadly creatures, such as a Scaramis<br \/>\nQueen and an Ethereal Force. Needless to say, we all fell in no time.<br \/>\nSince rescue seemed impossible, we were all forced to depart, creating<br \/>\nmore than ten Ethereal Clouds in Purgatory. So ended our adventures in<br \/>\nthe Scaramis Pen. However, the adventure still leaves some questions<br \/>\nunanswered. Do the Darshak know that Lugubrion has built a Keep on<br \/>\ntheir Island? Are they in league? And where exactly on the Ethereal<br \/>\nPlane did those sculls lead to? Still, these sculls may prove to be of<br \/>\nuse to us in the future. They effectively serve as a two-way portal to<br \/>\nthe Ethereal&#8211; with four entrances and exits! I look forward to our<br \/>\nnext forray into the Scaramis Pen.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 193, Year 544 of the Ascendancy It seems that the Scaramis Pen that Hrothgar and I discovered two days ago might not be linked to the Darshak after all.
