World of Fog

[Tenaar Feiri]

Report 08/10/21, Sefu

Went back to the mines we were attacked in and successfully dismembered a tentacle. Discovered the area contained residual energies from previous rituals, employed that and a sizable selection of tass to dispel the mist for the time being. Unsure if it will return.
Tentacle sample has been brought to the LIAA where it remains for study. Preliminary investigations have yielded little of interest. Sample is being conserved through magical means to prevent decay.

New progress made on the matter of the fog invasion on the whole; theoretically possible to force the fog to withdraw with access to enough energy. Must needs consult with high level mages to discuss options.

In order to put in place a means for certain individuals to train their minds to resist eldritch influence, I am hereby requesting that Lismore's defenders secure a live fog-creature. The following specifications would entail an ideal specimen;

- The creature should be of a directly eldritch nature

- The creature should be moderate in size, preferably at or around the size of a humanoid.

- The creature should, ideally, be relatively strong in it's ability to affect the comfort and fear of those in it's proximity.

- The creature should not be quite so powerful that it cannot be contained.

Regular means of restraint will work until it can be transported to the laboratory in Cruentus Tower, at which point I will properly secure and imprison the creature.

Subject: Corrupted Griffon
Note: Twilus' trap worked rather well in catching the griffin but it required my help and the help of another mage to bring him down. I've been wounded by his horn but I will be ok.

Reports 8/18/2021

While on a rescue mission to the Veiled Kingdom, and island that is known to sink beneath the fogline at night, while attempting to rescue fleeing citizens from the overcome island - hours ticked by and it became night during the rescue effort, and shortly after the fogline rose, the skycutter, fleeing Veiled citizens and Charon's elite dragonriders came under massive attack. The Skycutter was nearly destroyed and had to flee with those it could rescue, and General Charon and Captain Collie Madfang were greivously wounded.

The skycutter is heavily damage and it will likely be some time before it will be flight-worthy again.

While they have recovered and many Veiled Kingdom citizens were rescued, it is the crown's order that all currently planned expeditions and all future expeditions should be, for the time, being, cancelled. Until the reason for the mass-scale attack and a countermeasure can be developed, it is UNSAFE for any exploration of the fogline to be done.

Addition to Report: Ricardo Solis 8/13/21

The captured corrupted griffin called Lucky was brought to the Renegade Fortress of Iron Sands, where an attempt was made to cleanse him of the corruption and restore his body to its former self. This was done in the laboratory of the Queen's court necromancer Navaru Sil'Dur. With the help of Ausar Vandermark and the dragon Twilus, the soul engine once used to restore the Arutal race and free it from the curse, was once more employed to treat the griffin.

A report was sent later that confirmed the griffin was successfully cured and is now recovering at Iron Sands. He is still under watch for any side effects or relapses, but so far it seems the damage was undone.

Reports 8/23/2021

Guard reports just came in, telling of a battle ensuing in the park, when a group of Lismore's defenders led by Relina Harem, the alchemist Delhia and a Qalasian fennec named Sefu approached the corrupted statue and attempted to cleanse it. This led to the destruction of a possessed stone construct as well as doing some damage to the Ramau bakery's outdoor seating, and one of the trees. While the corruption withdrew from the monument in the park, with the help of the temple healer Xaedra they quickly found out that the actual source of the lingering corruption in the park came from a wholly different place: the Lismore cemetery.

Rushing over to the cemetery below the city, supported by the already alarmed guards there, they engaged a giant flesh golem that had risen from a sickly green fog covering the ground of the cemetery. The wizard apprentice Sefu managed to prevent a battle with the giant golem by engaging in a talk with the eldritch mind and presence behind the corruption, and then betraying it when he opened a powerful sealing ward underneath it. During this attempt the druid Xaedra was hurt badly, but could be saved by the combined efforts of Delhia and Relina. He and Sefu were eventually brought to the infirmary, but the rift was sealed and according to first tentative assessment, this seems to have been the end of the major incursions within the city. At least for now.

Reports 8/23/2021

The forest of high garden has been attacked by what can only be described as a corrupted airship - a large vessel sporting large amounts of tentacles. During the ensuing combat, many defenders were injured, and it also quickly became apparent that Lismore's airships will be required to damage it, as an attempt to attack by land was met with heavy casualties.

After being hit by an explosive, the ship has relocated between the main island and High Garden. ALL DEFENDERS AND CITIZENS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE SHIP MAY DROP DANGEROUS CREATURES INTO THE CITY! PLEASE do not go anywhere alone or without escort until the threat is eliminated!
