Our Friends Under the Mountain

hello,
while still young in the craft I am able to create arms and armaments of the required materials, and I do have a decent amount of crystal I can use, however I won't be able to make it this moon, and if still needed I will gladly assist in anyway I can.

Ilana,

I'm at your call for any druidic needs you may have. I personally use no metal as well, so I am set for the fight. If you supply me with essences I will make scourge dolls for the assault.

Lets look at the blood together, if they're blight creatures I'm sure the Conclave will mobilize to help.

Ilana,

I would like to offer my assistance to this mission.

For an old friend,

--Mantel

Hello everyone,


I am requesting aid in helping allies of the Proper. Glangill and his dwarves live deep underground under Honor's Peak and they are being assaulted by a new kind of creature. They are trapped and running out of resources.

For reference of whom I am speaking of, Glangill showed up in Travance Proper a few years ago with stories of a cult, a Fire Elemental Lord, and a door made out of Elementium in the Honor's Peak volcano and some folks in town assisted and sometimes he trades Elementium to people on the surface here.

The creatures they are being assaulted by are able to destroy metal (including mithril) but not other materials according to research conducted by Meander Correlis. For example, if you wield any kind of blunt weapon, simply wrapping it up in leather would protect the armament from damage. Edged weapons I have considered simply replacing for the venture but if anyone has a better idea, please present it.


Not required, but I would like a few of each:

-Anyone willing to help scout and track the creatures to get a better idea of where to find Glangill or find the source of the creatures to start clearing them out.

-People who can avoid hazards in caves (especially help look for weakpoints around lava so no one falls in) Being light on your feet would probably help.

-A druid or ranger who would be willing to help me examine the mild blight qualities to the sample of these creatures we have (Or, perhaps we can hunt for another one before truly beginning our trip into the caverns.)

-People willing to test themselves against a brand new creature and go on an adventure.

Please, send me a message as soon as you are able so I can give you instructions on where to head in Honor's Peak to start if you are not headed to Arkovnia or I will get you there myself if you will be attending the Winterdark Ball (I plan on visiting Arkovnia to assist with research in the matter). I believe by the time we have everyone assembled and equipment prepared, it will be the Friday night of November feast but we will be in Honor's Peak. I will work on getting us passage back to Travance through portal or other means if you're offended by magic after we are done (there are a few Templars who may help).

Thank you all for your time and be well,

Squire Ilana Darkwood

(OOG: This is partly being done between feasts as plot actions for the marshal. There will be mods immediately at lay-on of the November 10th-12th event for those who are interested in participating in the actual encounter (you do not need to be available for the mod if you want to help others prepare for it) Please coordinate with me directly here on the forums or through Facebook.)

While I'm positive Wren will fulfill all your druidic needs, I was wondering if he might be okay with me accompanying him so I can continue to learn and increase my knowledge of things of that nature.

I will still be focusing on the recovery in Arnwuhl, but I will make time to aid how I can using my civil service, and will try to be present for the expedition itself.

I would suggest anyone willing to donate to this cause look for an illuminationist to create psalms of Change Composition. Changing Metallic edged weapons to Crystalline edged weapons is within the realm of possibility. I will also attempt researching into potential engineering solutions that will protect the metal of an edged weapon without damaging the cutting edge. I request aid of any available smiths to aid in that endeavor.

If any further weaknesses exhibited by these creatures are revealed, please do tell. Perhaps this association with Blight could be relevant to that end.
