So the Great Erdrejan Fayre of 1117, the competition of these games seems somewhat lesser than my memories would have me believe.
During the Friday night we came across the discovery that the city of Shindlin had been attacked, and the 5th army taken, as such I briefly promoted myself to High Scout and my new scouts were deployed to obtain as much information about the attack as possible. When the scouts were able to return, they had discovered that the city had not been taken by Demonfey as expected, but rather by a demon known as Nezanamiel. This is a name of specific note for certain members of the faction, and they did not take the news lightly.
The Demonfey attacked again and were able to take khazress, they later tried to use it as a bargaining chip. We refused. Violently.
Saturday, Briseis stood for the faction and performed in the ritual game. Naturally her fey nature led to a bizarre ritual about princesses and inner beauty and awakening the charming or something? The evil wizard lost so I’m a little unsure of the aim. However, the watchers gave her high praise and believe that in a live circle the ritual would have yielded positive results. Despite this, the harts bribed their way to victory.
Sunday we entered the warbands contest against the bears. It was a fair and entertaining fight although victory went to the bears. A little later I suffered an unreal pain.
The pretender had sent an army of the ancestral creatures to attack the ancestral grove at dark haven. He breached the grove and attacked the minds of each of the 13. Once he found Ineluki he was given a new drive and turned his efforts to breaking Ineluki. As his Balance, with Solitaires aid, I was able to draw that pain into myself and calm his mind. In a manner, this has done as a great favour as Ineluki now has the clarity of mind enough to speak, and his first words were to myself. However, lolth has sealed the grove, blocking entry to all but my kind.
Following this we tasked ourselves with finding a way to deal a blow to the pretender so that he could not hurt us in such a way. He attacked us there on the surface, blinded by the rage of the dragon I a led an attack against them. This resulted in me being put in a timeout before I hurt someone.
For a brief moment, we found some relief with the wedding of Trial Al'tath. Unsurprisingly, he found a way to mar that too, we were visited at the celebrations by an emissary of the gloura who have now sided with Satuun. We politely asked her to pass on our best to ineluki as her pattern serves him eternally.
As we began our attempt, we were again struck with great pain with visions of an attack against Lolths altar, led by the pretender.
The games of 1117, a time that should have been great joy was tarnished by the pretender at every turn.
This can not be allowed to continue.
