Clan Hunt

Today my clan held our first meeting of the new year, and afterwards we went hunting in, where else-- the new island of Gungla! Since this was my third visit to the isle, I gave my clanmates a tour of all the major sites-- the Meshra Lair, the Pit, and of course the rainbow waterfall. We even had the good fortune of running into a boar, and we were able to skin the beast and have it made into a quiver.

On a sad note, this was our clanmate Nephilim's last clan hunt, as he will soon be heading back to his homeland. After the hunt we gathered on the beach, and wished our clanmate a safe journey. Farewell Neph! We will all miss you greatly!

Gungla

It started with a dozen earthquakes that wracked the entire island chain. Soon, mystics began sensing some sort of disturbance in the ocean. Exiles who went to investigate were felled by a new, never before seen species of baltoise.

After much searching, exiles stumbled upon a new, southern entrance to Melabrion's Island, or rather "Gungla", as it is know to its natives. The island is much larger than I ever imagined, spanning more than 30 snells and littered with dozens of hidden caves and grottos. The island may be even larger still, as there is a river that spans the isle that no exile has found a way to cross.

I explored the isle for quite a bit today, along with Xepel and Larno, and came across many interesting sites. This is definately one of the most exciting discoveries in recent times.

Today I attended an FMOCR organized by Yor, in the hopes of obtaining another teleportation stone. Our party was a little short on healers, but nevertheless we arrived early in OC4, and had to wait for the appearance of the Magician.

The Magician appeared promply at noon as expected, and he was easily brought down by our party's powerful fighters. However, when I entered the Power Room in an attempt to obtain a stone, I was unsuccessful in doing so-- a disapointing ending for our successful raid.

It's a bit of a mystery why Mystics sometimes can't obtain a stone, but it has happened before in the past, on several occaisions. Perhaps there is a waiting period before I can obtain a second stone. Whatever the reason, I hope we can solve this mystery soon.

Leaving A Mark

I was stuck in the library for most of the day today, so I unfortunately missed my clan's monthly meeting. When I did finally step out of the library, however, I was in for a bit of a treat.

Zorton asked me if I wanted to make a mark in the foothills, since he and a number of exiles were headed that way to rescue Hepta, fallen in the Orga Village. I happily agreed, and tagged along with the party. Zorton ported us to the Foothills, and I got to make my first mark with the tp stone, just oustide of Katpus' cave.

After I got back to town, I learned that my clanmates were fallen in Melabrion's Mines. I quickly joined up with a rescue party, and headed for the Mines. The rescue turned out to be a piece of cake, thanks to Califas, Callus, Borton, Yor, and Kensington.

Lundar saves the day?

Afterwards, we returned to town, and I got to catch up with my clanmates. I learned from them that my friend Anfyr was having something of a personality crisis-- she now goes by the names Ezail and Drnnh. It was all a bit confusing, but I hope we can find a way to get her back to normal soon.

All in all it was an unexpectedly eventful day.

FMOCR

Today I organized an FMOCR to obtain my first teleportation stone(not for the Brion Brothers for a change!). As the time of the full moon drew near, I grew nervous because there were only a handful of exiles in the lands. Luckily, I was able to gather a very powerful little group, and we made our way through the Orga Camp in the early morning, before the Sun had even risen.

We encountered quite a bit of resistance from the Orga, and I was a little worried that our small party wouldn't be able to handle the massive hordes of the deeper Orga Camps, but I needn't have fretted. Our party cut through the Orga forces like a hot blade through butter. In fact, we arrived in OC4 a full six hours earlier than I had anticipated, and we were forced to wait for the Orga Magician to appear, to the annoyance of some party members.

Kor'gah and Frozen Shade entertained us with their music while we waited, but soon, even their vast repetories were exhausted. The fighters soon began making daring forrays into the Orga territory, slaying the vast hordes of Orga Warlocks that guard the final camp. This was particularly dangerous because for each Warlock that was slain, another soon appeared in its place, along with a pack of Death Vermine.

The fighters continued to push our luck as we twiddled our thumbs in OC4, waiting for the Orga Magician. Finally, shortly after noon, the Orga Magician finally made his appearance. The fighters charged the Magician, while I made my way to the Power Room. I was a little nervous after my previous failures, but this time I had no problems obtaining the orga stone.

I would like to thank all of the brave exiles who helped out with the FMOCR, and who patiently waited in OC4 to make this raid a success. If ever a mystic you need, I will come to your aid.
