From the diary of Silvan the Dryad Session date: 28.11.2004 9.5. I was in a tree. 10.5. I got out of the tree. We went shopping, and I bought an item that boosted my awareness of the surrounding world. I noticed things much easier now. We went into a meeting. Lorenian, 215, Fleandor, Nathan's gang, and us were present. We discussed the gods. Lorenian was trying to come up with a way to find Anxar. The most important thing was to weaken Abrahm a bit and steal some of his godly artifacts. Lorenian already had a plan for this. They planned to steal Juliennah's mirror from Abrahm and then use it to forge an alliance with him. This would seriously damage Abrahm's day-to-day operations. Before telling us more, they wanted our promise that we'd stand on their side. Longfoot left. The plan was to obtain spawning tanks and use them to grow Juliennah a new body. Lorenian also knew somebody who'd serve to provide Juliennah's new spirit. She suggested taking advantage of Longfoot. Buran said he was here just as a tourist, and Lorenian told him to go away. They'd send somebody to tell him his mission later on. After making plans, the others left, but I was asked to stay. I was taken to private and told that I had been transformed into a greater dryad to prevent my death as Angela took Tamaol's place and thus slew him. In other words, Tamala was no Tamaol at all, but just a disguised Angela. Tamaol himself had been killed. They wanted to use the Sword of Necreegh to steal Angela's spirit and use it to fuel the creation of Juliennah's new bastion. Quaylan was then dragged into the room. I was told to go find Angela and tell her that Quaylan wanted to meet her in the old place. Quaylan agreed to write us a letter supporting it, though he said he'd deny its existence later on. I took it to Angela and she asked me to go into a tree in the case of ambushes again. I gleefully agreed. After we reached the meeting place, Lorenian teleported Stanley and Nathaniel on both sides of Angela. Suddenly everything Angela had on was torn away from her, after which Nathan and Stan grabbed her and put the bag on her. Lorenian then teleported us all back to the tavern. Lorenian said that we couldn't stay here. We had to get moving, and she suggested the village of Green Copper. She gave each of us a small ring that allowed us to walk freely in the village of Green Copper and in theory in Myrnur too. The rings made us look like ordinary humans. Lorenian also said we needed to manufacture a spawning tank and the material with which it could be filled. Before we could grow Juliennah and ask for Abrahm's presence, there were a few other things to take care of. Lorenian knew that Tundas had great caverns where nobody who knew Divine magic could enter. We, however, could enter them. This would be a good way for us to prove her our value. While waiting for Longfoot, I couldn't practice anything useful, so I went to the art exhibition that was being held in Green Copper. There were plenty of pretty pictures there, including one of me. ^_^ 11.5. After Longfoot arrived, we used magic to create a Tank of Spawning for Juliennah's new body. Then we created the beginning of her body, which would grow over time. Now our mission was to retrieve Tundas' helmet from the caverns. After arguing over our reward, we would be teleported to the second highest hill in the region. There would be lights burning by the entrance. We were not to try to cross the lake, it would be a better idea to go around it. For the next five nights, she'd teleport us away from the hill at eleven o'clock. We were teleported to a wonderfully green area. It smelled like something was burning. We saw a huge fire in the east. It was on a spot where Tamaol's home forest had been, guarded by Tamaol himself and living trees of awesome power. It was also reputed to be the location of beautiful, ancient trees of a great age. I talked the others into scouting the area on the pretext of recovering any godly artifacts Tamaol might have left, even though in reality I just wanted to see if anything could be done to save Tamaol's treasures from the orcs' clutches. Hêrâ spotted something moving far away, and tried to use her far-seeing magic thing to see it better. She failed. She and Longfoot went closer to see if there was anything there, while the rest of us continued to study the fire. 12.5. We flew downwards to study the forest. I went inside the trees to scout the area. While still scouting the forest, the others spotted an orc patrol and slew it. We interrogated one of the survivors and heard about a group of orcs nearby. We decided to go wipe them out. All of them. We went there and Sir Longfoot wiped them out. All of them. Session close: 19:25 28.11.2004
