On leaving the library I learned that an ethereal incursion was expected in the Greymyr Village at any moment. Unfortunately, there were no mystics around at the time and few strong fighters. Eventually Asenath came out of the library, and a small party assembled in North Pass for an attack on the ethereal forces (which had by that time been present for quite a while), but we never really stood a chance.

The sketch was made after our initial assault, when our entire force had been reduced to two fighters, two healers, a mystic, and an archaeologist.

Eventually more fighters and healers arrived, and we were able to rescue the fallen, but it was too late to place a kyuem. The very short notice for this incursion was certainly a factor in our failure--if the forces present by the end had been there all before the incursion started, we might well have succeeded.

After searching for ore and doing a bit of hunting, I decided to kill some time (and probably myself) by taking the fourth circle fighter test. Cerbera was not particularly encouraging, but to my considerable surprise I actually passed!

As it happens, I made a visionstone of the test.

Today was the Puddleby Players' presentation of Zomeo and Thoomiet.
