Journal of Erith Springwinters - Found under mysterious circumstances in Mirrorwatch.

Skills Attributes Description
15th of Granite

Well, it looks like I have been tasked with weapon identification. I have heard that now and again a weaponsmith would be asked to identify a weapon but I never thought I would be asked to identify a weapon. But this request is downright odd. I am to go to the aptly named Dangerous Forest to identify a humanoid carrying a suspected artifact of our people and report back. What makes the request stranger is it comes directly from Queen Oddom Greatestlash instead of our general.

Whilst I don't like the look of the job, I would rather not anger Queen Oddom. Although the weapon sounds interesting and unique, I will still have to cover the large western portion of the Dangerous Forest. I have gathered my stuff and have prepared to set off. As me and Tosid were heading out, Zuglar recommended that I get some weapon experience on animals and said he would pay well for animal hides. Maybe this job won’t be bad afterall.

Kills some critters by Mirrorwatch the old monastery. Managed to get a good distance around the mountain before nightfall.

Heading to coloursacks, interesting to see what the humans did to this place since taking it over one hundred years ago. As I was arriving I walked past some goblin and gorlack monks. Decided to divine the will of these other gods. Cursed with a week's bad luck that wasn’t right. Then cursed again. Made no sense. The humans clearly are using it as some trick to get people into praying at their temples there. I'm no fool. Arrived at Prestineearlings as night fell. Busy place, but at least i can rest amongst nature

Monks Bad Luck
17th of Granite

Entered Leafyhermit, spoke to the local lord. He knows what I am looking for but will only tell me he will give me the information if I killed some kobolds. Decided to head into the fortress myself. Came across some creature that was frail. One of the necromancer experiments. Tried to speak to her but she started to charged me.

The Creature

No luck on finding this sword wielder humanoid. Heading to the local hillocks of spydye to see if anyone has information here. Come across a fellow Dwarf Momus, she is a slave. I agreed to free her from her absent masters. Strange.

Came across a lair. A giant, it was a giant. The hulking beast drew its unique sword and stabbed me. I tried to grab it from it. Attacked Tosid and Mosus. My poor door lost a leg and is very faint. However after striking Momus, something happened. The skeletons littering the liar rose up. Like fallen spirits and begun to claw at the beast. The beast passed out and I used its sword to kill it. But now I need to get to civilization. We are all hurt and need some help. The sword can wait. Slept in the hamlet Tangled Vessels. The place was abandoned.

Lair TosidMosus
21st of Granite

Momus seems to keep bleeding, she said she was okay but still after all that time. Maybe she has a weak body. Me and Tosid are doing okay. Poor girl is hopping on three legs.

Blood Trail
Woke up to dingos, must be following Momus blood scent. Passed Momus my copper sword and ordered Tosid to help her. I pulled the steel sword out and got to work. Seemed to be going well then the dingos got back up and attacked each other. Tosid is really hurt now and refuses to move now.

Tosid very hurt
22nd of Granite

Tosid is okay, well as okay for a battle wounded dog as she could be. Struggled to sleep, kept whispering. Think Momus must talk in her sleep. Headed to colorsacks, last port of call.

Campfire
Headed behind the entrance, suddenly armed dwarves attacked us. Tosid was taking the brunt of the blows. Poor girl. I was removing this axeman's legs from his body. They wanted the sword, I was confused.

Macedwarf
Momus was taking a beating, I killed the mace dwarf and was about to help. But he got back up and beat me good. Put the sword in my backpack and crawled away as more dwarfs appeared. I'm hiding in shrubs but im struggl

The swords current status

Good luck Lurker

Ẽrsil (The infinite plane)
Welcome to a world like any other in existence. With an exception, the steel sword by the name of Oltudtad (Stalkmatches). An ordinary sword except for its odd ability to call out to people. Encouraging them to sate its thirst, its voice and influence growing louder with every kill. (I wanted to see how a different kind of succession game would go)

The Concept

• Each person gets one week that starts with them seeking the sword and must end with them storing, gifting the sword to an NPC or something along those lines.
• What you do with your week is up to you, killing isn't required and could lead to some interesting stories.
• You get either 1-3 peasants or 1 hero. After that you can fortress for your week. Maybe even a vault to store the sword.
• Don't kill someone's charcter unless its a kill or be killed situation.

Fascinating journey Moldath went on. Visited a lot of forts and seems you have won favor with Ral. Interested to see Moldaths story from here. Also see you traded for Holybloods hand.

If thats not allowed, i won't do it again. I just saw it as passing the time during the week.

I noticed, i commend you on your goblin slaying skills. Will have to claim the title back next turn. Also i see you noticed Frothbone. Its not truly lost but got to stop Ala spread.

I think its most of us aren't doing good high value trades. Atleast when ive traded like crazy in other worlds is when i get hamlets.

Ah thats interesting i thought it was as the wiki listed forgotten beasts with the megabeast tag.
