Author: Cathas Date Sun Sep 29 18:35:45 2002 Subject Battle agaist Disease *walking along the battlements of the High Clerist Tower, Cathas seems distressed...* "I sense a great evil coming... but what is this?" *looking off into the distance Cathas sees a Red and Black form slowly approaching in the air being trailed closely by 2 other familiar figures...* "Adon and Larukon following this creature? For them both to ally, something must truely be amiss. I will prepare myself and ask them about this creature when they approach." *Adon and Larukon are seen throwing spells at the creature, which is slowly gaining the form of a dragon, a bloated and diseased red dragon that is deflecting their spells and counterattacking with a ferocity unknown to the 2 attacking clerics.* "Where has a beast like this come from... there have been a great number of diseased creatures roaming about... could it be Morgion working foul magics?" *by this time Larukon and Adon reached the walls of the Tower and through Cathas' influence, the gates were opened to allow the unlikey pair to enter.* "Well met Nightlord and Starmaster, what is the nature of this creature that seems to be harrasing you and heading towrds this Tower?" Larukon replies, "Well Chosen Prophet, we have been folloing this "Dragon" around many of the cites of Ansalon, it has been attacking any and all that is sees, that is, of of any faith or following... it even attacked a known worshipper of the Diseased One himself. We do not know where it some from but we do know that it needs to be stopped." Adon says "Would you like to join us Cathas? It would seem to be in all of our best interests if we team up and defeat this greater evil. Surely the pendulum mustn't swing too far in either direction." * thinking deeply and feeling an immense sense of dread... Cathas thinks that joining this unlikely pair and making it an unlikey trio would be best.* *nodding to Larukon and Adon in turn* I am with you both. Let us set off and deal with this menance. Are there others attacking this beast? *Adon nods and Lakuron answers: "Many dfferent warriors across the lands have been seen fighting this beast, as well as many mages have been beseiging it with spells... everyone seems 'disturbed' by the presence of this beast." *Cathas nods and utters a biref prayer of protection over the group and says: Let us be off then, we shall join with others and see if we can't find the reason why this creature is here, and more importantly, stop the destruction it is causing." *wordlessly, the trio turn on thier heels and head off in the direction of the flying creature, intent on discovering what it is, where it came from, and why it is here..... why....* Author: Cathas Date Sun Sep 29 23:07:47 2002 Subject Journal Entry *...Written in a leather-bound journal filled with fine vellum...* Day of World Tree, 33rd the Month of Spring Rain. Today I was in the Solmanic Keep for a variety of reasons one of which was to speak with Lord Teldor about these current actions against Solamnic controlled towns. He asked if I would be able to use the magicks granted by Paladine to me to aid the Knighthood in transport to certain cities that may or may not be in danger. I agreed to help them and opened semi-permanent gates from a room in their Keep in Palanthas to their outposts in Kalamaan and Caergoth. I'm quite confident that these gates will be able to serve as portals for troop movements as well as a conduit for instant transfer of messengers. I'm sure this will aide the Solamnic Knighthood greatly if any of those cities are beseiged. Author: Cathas Date Fri Dec 13 15:18:35 2002 To 'holy order' samual derdus SubjectMessage received Cathas lies in his bed sleeping lightly only to be awoken by a rapping on his window. He wakes and walks to the window and opens it when he sees Hubris, the owl sent to deliver a message to the adventurers near Solace Cathas checked the owl's pouch for any return correspondence and was please to find what appeared to be some of Samual's journal pages inside. Cathas read over the "report" and folded the pages neatly and placed them on his desk. Placing the owl on the back of his chair, he thanked him and retuned to his light sleep thinking that all was going quite well. He hoped that it would continue that way. It is nice now that Derdus and Astea were well on there way to the others, lending some support against this enemy they knew nothing about.
