Day 2627: We start into the forest.
Day 2629: We battle with the chaos wizard. Vincent dies a heroic death. We find more indecipherable papers on the Chaos Warrior's body, which leads us to believe there may be an even bigger threat lurking in this forest.

Day 2631: Nivak barely survives Caradryan's operating ministrations.
Day 2637: Begin our travel back to town.
Day 2639: Arrive back in Blonmarie. We drop off our wounded and loot at the "Citadel of Light" and seek immediate audience with Louis. We decide we must travel to L'Anguille to see if someone there can translate the documents we found. Also, there is training to be done and loot to sell. We start to make preparations for the trip.
Day 2640: The townspeople of Blonmarie have started liking and trusting us more. Our approval rating went from 10% up to 40%.
Day 2641: The younger kids start following us around town. Vladimir mock battles with them with a stick. Preparations to travel to L'anguille are underway and almost complete.
Day 2642: A woman by the name of Claire shows up on our doorstep. She lives in a small hamlet nearby and has come seeking help for her townspeople. About six months ago, people started disappearing. Approximately 20-30 people have gone missing in total. All the town guards have been killed. We speak to Louis and step up our travel preparations.
Day 2643: We leave Blonmarie with Claire in tow and head towards her home.
Day 2645: Goblins attack.
Battle Records: Caradryan = 5 kills. Ilmarian = 2 kills. Jezeg = 12 kills. Vladimir = 6 kills.
Day 2647: Arrive in Claire's hamlet. We speak to the hamlet's "leader", John. He sets us up in the hut of one of missing persons. Vladimir dresses up as a peasant and stays with Martin and his son. The rest of us stay in the hut we were loaned and stay out of sight so as not to arouse the suspicions of whoever/whatever is taking the townspeople.
Day 2648: I go with Nivak and Axtrica to some of the out-lying houses to question the inhabitants of the recent kidnappings. No one was able to provide any information whatsoever. That night: Vladimir wanders about town. The rest of us split up between two houses to watch him. After a few uneventful hours of watching him, something finally happens. Vladimir starts heading off out of our line of sight. We follow. We see him walking ahead of us. He's moving jerkily, but seems to know where he's going. We head west of town as we follow Vladimir and eventually come to a cave. Vladimir makes his way to the cave entrance and Growlyn charges ahead to tackle him. As we stop to tether the horses, skeletons emerge from the cave. We make short work of them. We reform and decend into the cave. A wispy creature appears through the floor behind Nivak. Down in bowels of the cave, we battle a necromancer and his zombie minions. After it is all said and done, we gather the personal effects of the zombies and take everything back to town. We meet with John and turn over the personal effects and all of the money we found in the cave. In return for destroying the threat on the town, John gives us three magical potions.
Battle Records: Lillay = 20 kills, High Damage Kill at 26 points. Ilmarian = 14 kills (including the Ghoul), High Damage Kill at 26 points. Jezeg = 14 kills (including the Ghost). Growlyn = 3 kills. Axtrica = 5 kills (including the Boss Skeleton and the Necromancer). Vladimir = 4 kills. Arvin =2 kills. 100-Rolls = 4.
Day 2654: Arrive in L'anguille. First we take Axtrica, Jezeg, and Nivak to the Shalya temple to heal them of the rot they contracted from the ghoul. Nadon takes Timber to the Taal Druids for healing. We take rooms at one of the inns and settle in to "city" life once again.
