Lord Commander Moraith:

Troublesome news has reached me this past day.

As I was conducting business in the town of Skara, I decided to stop into the local tavern for a pint and a look at the pretty new maid tending the bar. While sitting there, I became aware of a disturbance in the street, just outside the door. Not one to mind my own business, I decided to have a look. There in the street was an hysterical girl of about 16. Covered in blood she was, screaming about some fiend from the water that slaughterd her family at thier farm across the bay, on the main land. Seeing that I would get no more from her, I paid my tab, grabbed my kit and made my way to the docks.

At first I could get no tillerman to take me across. Something had frightened them badly. Gold coins however do have a way of overcoming fear and when enough was placed in the palm of one old salt, we went across. I will say though, that he made me jump ashore. No easy task for these old bones in full plate.

I made a sweep through the area and it looked as if 50 blade spirits followed by a band of Orcs had ravaged the settelment. Smoke issued from the farm houses and barns. Dead animals and settlers lay strewn about. The carnage was senseless for there was nothing to be gained by it. I could tell that many of the dead were rangers. They had put up a valient fight.

From there I searched north and made my way to the main ranger post. There I found Conrad the Master Ranger. "Hail Nights Watchman" he greeted me as I approached. "I'm glad to see one of the Black Brothers here! A terrible crime has been committed!"

I replied that I had visited the settlement and inquired as to what could have caused the deaths of so many. I asked about Jukas, Orcs, and Savages. Conrad said that it was none of those. Just one man did it, if indeed what he saw could be a man.

Conrad explained that witnesses report that a small dragon ship drew up to the quay from the north. As soon as it touched the Shore a mad man jumped from the ship and without warning or word, beheaded the harbormaster. He then proceeded to strike down anyone or thing that he came across. The end result is the devastation of the settlement I saw today. His Rangers fought well and I would like to think drove him off. It seemed more that the creature tired of the sport and returned to his boat.

I then asked Conrad if the man could be identified. Conrad said that we was dressed in a midnight blue robe and studded armor all grey. His face is not that of one truely human but more part machine as were some of his limbs. The part of his face that could be seen showed a horrible disfigurement with a baleful blue eye of intense gaze. Conrad noted that he had but one ear and that was pointed as an elf. Finally I asked Conrad if there was anything else that he could remember or add. He paused a moment and then said that this creature would stand and scream at each victim he killed. He would yell into thier dead faces, GO FIND THE OTHERS! GO FIND THE ORDER! TELL THEM ELROND WILL AVENGE THEM! CARRY MY MESSAGE! IT IS BECAUSE OF THE BLACK ONES THEY DIED!

M'Lord Moraith as I complete this report I must conclude that as bizzare as it sounds, Elrond, slain by the Kindred has returned. Only Blackthorns mages could have rebuilt him, but why and for what purpose elludes me. I propose a party be formed to search for clues to this mystery.

Its the part about who he blames for his demise and the Order that bothers me. The Black Ones he said!

That could mean The Kindred or Us!


[This weeks hunt will take us to the Central region of Ilschnar and /or the depths of dungeon Deciet. We will be searching for any clues to the mystery of Elronds appearance, if indeed it is Elrond. For our trip to the Central Area we will be coming through Compassion gate, entering the cave past the Gypsie Settlement. There is a bank and a healer there. As we can not recall out of Ilsch, please plan to resupply from your bank boxes and place what ever additional supplies you feel you may need during the mission in your bank box. Rememebr there is a Healer in the settlement. For those who are not familiar with the settlement, we'll take a quick look before we enter the area.

Plan on the possibilty of going to Deciet and bring or have quickly available a silver weapon.

In any case we will utilize the training skill that Silver has been working on. Stay together, fight as a TEAM and cross heal. We work together and we all get home safe.]

Spad, Sworn Brother of the Night's Watch
