The Mages Journal Part 4: The Rocky Road To Hogar

Continued from Part 3

The Journal of Edmond Crawsly entry 185:

After the adventure in the jungle Merrick and I had started back towards civilization, and after an uneventful trip back to Karnok I was still anxious about what we had seen, but I was feeling good. My time with Merrick had so far been eventful, to say the least, and I was learning many things that would serve me well as a BattleMage in the future. As we entered Karnok the city guards nodded at Merrick as we passed, and I started thinking about how little I knew about my mentor here. In our limited time together Merrick had proven to know quite a few powerful people of Jalldoon, and after keeping my eyes open I noticed every guard we passed would nod at him. Who was Merrick?

Chapter 11: Crowns and Schemes

Continued from Chapter 10

After landing servants brought them to the Compound of High Imperator Ondska where they would be staying for the next three days. Most of the royals in attendance would have suites on site, but the Imperator’s estate took up nearly half of the western quadrant of the large island. High walls met at a large gate emblazoned with the Ondska Empire’s seal. As the large metal gates swung open the Imperator and his entourage awaited them, and Boshak admired his long blood-red robes, and while he was an old man he looked strong enough still to hold his own in battle. As the Imperator hugged his nephew he quickly ushered the entire party inside the estate. At the doors of his mansion, he turned towards the crowd of people, and with a simple “leave us” the entourage dispersed leaving the Baron and his Shocktrooper guards alone with Ondska.

Chapter 10: Evil Finds A Way

Continued from Chapter 9

The lights swirled into view as Boshak regained consciousness. A rapping on his chamber door had pulled him out of the astral planes, and back to his room atop the Dark Citadel. Making his way to the door the Slime was annoyed “Who dares disturb my meditations? I left explicit Instructions to not be bothered” he snarled as the door opened to reveal the cowering form of Jelgon, his most loyal servant who stammered a bit before answering “s..s..sorry Master I told the Baron you was in here learning all that Magic stuff, but he said it was of the umtoast importance to summon you” . Boshak was disgusted at the idiocy of his minion “It’s utmost importance you simpering fool” he spat at Jelgon before adding “tell the Baron I’ll be on my way with haste” as he slammed the door in Jelgon’s face.

Organizations: The Poisoner’s Guild

Another of the tribes involved in The Great Slime Wars. The Poisoner’s Guild lived up to their name. Fighting in the Wars with poisoned weapons and attacks, the Guild was not to be trifled with. Some legends even say the Poisoner’s Guild surrounded themselves with so many poisons some of them glowed with an aura of noxious gas. The Poisoner’s Guild had motivations not readily apparent to those outside of the Guild, but whatever they were after… it wasn’t good.

Organizations: The Order of The Magi

One of the tribes involved in The Great Slime Wars from the earliest history of Jalldoon. The Order of The Magi believed their magics should rule Jalldoon, and they worshipped a large gem emanating magical power that had been discovered deep within a mine in the Crystal Caverns. They fought tirelessly in the Wars against the other tribes with spells, curses, and magically taming the various beasts of primordial Jalldoon.

The Mage’s Journal Part 3: Enter the Jungle

Continued from Part 2

The Journal of Edmond Crawsly entry 183:

 The next morning Merrick and I headed out on the road to adventure once again. The night before Merrick had heard from a traveler in the Compass that there was word of strange goings on in the Vallorian Jungle so we headed north on the road leading that way. The first day and night had passed peacefully, but on the second afternoon midway through the Inari Grasslands, we came across a covered wagon pulled by two massive Inari Striders with a broken wheel.

The Mage’s Journal Part 2: Adventuring with Legends.

The Journal of Edmond Crawsly entry 181:

Once we set out from Karnok the journey to the Crossroads Tavern was fairly uneventful, and despite the difficulty of getting used to sleeping on the ground I was enjoying being in the wild with Merrick. We arrived at the Tavern around dusk, and after eating our meal we sat drinking and talking. As I enjoyed sitting in a chair instead of on a rock the door slammed open as every head in the tavern turned to see who was there, and much to my surprise Prince Algor of the Slime Kingdom, and his constant companion Toron had entered the tavern.

Events: The Great Slime Wars

Millennia ago, When life on Jalldoon was young there was great unrest growing among the Slime population. Idealogical differences had Splintered Slimekind into various tribes, armies, cults, and other such Factions. The Great Slime Wars raged across the infant Planet for ages. Until the fabled and revered First of the Slimes was able to unite all Slimes under the banner of a peaceful society which still runs strong to this day on Jalldoon under the watchful eye of King Valdar.

The Mage’s Journal Part 1: A Grand Adventure Begins

(The Mages Journal weaves around, in, and out of the main story here you can read the other half of The Lost Reliquary of Karnok story, and see some other events mentioned in the main story)

The Journal of Edmond Crawsly entry 179:

Finally, my training at the Syndicate College has ended, and now I start the next path of my journey to be a fully accredited Battlemage. Only my meeting with the Head Mage remained before I would be leaving the College for good. As I made my way across the courtyard I took in all the details for the final time… the bumpy cobblestone walkway underfoot clicked softly as my boots struck each stone, and the large trees with their multicolored leaves shaded novice mages studying on the benches underneath, a professor teaching a group of young mages how to cast a fireball in one corner stomped out the bottom of his robes set aflame by a careless miscast, and an air of magic surged through the whole campus invigorating the magical energies of those inside.

Chapter 8:  The Bronze God Revealed

Continued from Chapter 7

Written by Sanjeev Selvaraj

She knew it wasn’t considered “polite”, but the little girl continued to stare up at the motionless being for what seemed like ages. Levitating several feet above the ground, the creature in turn stared silently at the one tree that grew near the cliff edge. They were about a mile from shore, along a tall ridge away from the fishing villages on the outskirts of Bakurados Bay. The ancient, twisted tree stood on the tallest outcropping, and the little girl would sometimes come there alone to play. A large, purple-armored man hovering in front of the tree was not something she was expecting. “Mister, what are you doing?” She asked innocently. After a moment, the being spoke. “This tree is the oldest living thing on your planet.” He turned to face the little girl before continuing, “For two of your days, I have been communicating with it on a low psionic level in order to determine where I am…and why I have been trapped in this realm.” The girl kicked around a rock on the ground,Ohh…you’re new here.”

Chapter 7: The Bronze God of Bakurados

Continued from Chapter 6

The carriage wheels squeaked on the dirt road as Toron looked out the window. He could see the large gates of Bakurados Bay in front of them as the ride pulled to a stop. Algor hopped out and started grabbing their packs from the back as he looked up at the massive wall surrounding the city before them. Finishing the last of his ale, Toron joined his companion as they marveled at the spires reaching toward the sky just beyond. The two Slimes had come to the Bay City to accept a shipment of weapons coming from Gato. With the threat of Master Boshak and Baron Drackholme’s combined forces threatening Jalldoon, the heroes would need the best weapons…and no weapon on the planet could compare to the nigh-unbreakable Gatonian Steel usually reserved exclusively for the catlike people of Gato. Fortunately for our heroes, Grar had pulled a few strings back home to secure an arsenal for the forces of good.

Chapter 6: Toron’s Journey

Continued from Chapter 5

Toron wiped the sweat from his brow as he hopped back from the bolt he had been tightening on the large metal arm in front of him. Taking a long swig from his goblet he looked over his latest creation, a large suit of armor. The slime made his way behind a blast shield with a small remote as he thought to himself “Here goes nothing” before pushing the small button on the little black box he held. As he pushed the button he heard a series of clicks followed by a small hollow clank on the floor, and after waiting a few seconds to make sure it wasn’t going to explode he stuck his head out from behind the shield and saw that the suit of armor had compacted itself into a small box. Toron clicked the button again and the suit unfolded itself out from the box as Toron squished himself inside a small port located on the back of the suit, and as his slime body filled up the contraption he clicked the interior switch as the suit sprang to life.
