XI - 2006

Harvest War at Gavilan Trading Post.

The Setup
Last year, several orbs with magical properties were found in Gavilan, near Pegasus Valley. These orbs were fought over and removed from the area by Cloud's Edge and Savage Highlands. Since that summer 2 more powerful items, an acid sheathed dagger and a flail capable of shattering boulders, have turned up with stories of even more powerful items. When word of these discoveries made it to King Anatole of Dragonspine, he made a diversion from his crusades to aquire any additional objects of power to help with his quest.
In addition to these goings on, monster attacks are on the rise and there are rumblings of strange cults popping up in the area. By order of the King, adventuring groups are being assembled to stop these threats while he is in the area and an official adventuring group charter must be obtained from one of his crusaders. Anyone discovered without a charter by a crusader may be taxed on ths spot for a new charter or killed as a poacher.
The Brotherhood of the Phoenix sent out message bearers, threatening to destroy the Kingdom if King Anatole does not leave the area. King Anatole declared the Brotherhood of the Phoenix and it's one known member, Styxx Nobleheart Duke of Pegasus Valley, as traitors to the throne.

The Conclusion
A handfull of magical items were discovered by adventurers and put to use to track down the Brotherhood of the Phoenix. Meanwhile, agents of the Brotherhood were making deals and handing out more items. While adventuring groups were out gathering treasure they discovered a set of keys and a newly built fortress of the Brotherhood's not too far from King Anatole's camp. Forces were gathered by the King to attack the fortress, but a strange force came over the holders of the magic items. The true source of their power was the trapped spirit of Pegasus Valley citizens long missing that had been captured and manipulated into helping the Brotherhood of the Phoenix. The would be attackers became defenders as the spirits overpowered them.
After a long battle in pouring rain, the leader of the Brotherhood was killed and the spirits released from the weapons.

X - 2005

Harvest War at Gavilan Trading Post during a moonless weekend.

The Setup
A killer is wandering the area, murdering, looting, and causing trouble. People are dying all around you, can you bring the killer to justice or will you just be another body like everyone else? Rumor says that Will O’ the Wisps have been sighted before some of the killings.
Clues to the nature and identity of the killer will be made during this event, so keep your eyes and ears open. The primary goal is to kill or capture the mad slasher and present proof of your deed to Glenalth.
Four ancient orbs of power are reported to be in the area Lost long ago they convey powers to the holder that may help locate, capture, or even kill the slasher. In the wrong hands, these Orbs become very dangerous. Clues to their location can be found all around. Anyone holding an orb in a free hand will be granted the following powers. They may be used during all full class battles during the weekend. Any time you die, you must either lie down and hold the orb or leave the orb on the ground where you died. An unattended orb or an orb held by a dead or incapacitated person may be taken by anyone. Orbs may not be taken into tents or into off limits areas.

• Heart Orb: grants enhanced protection and healing powers.
• Opal Orb: grants the ability to charm and bolsters the will.
• Leafy Orb: during the day uses the sunlight to regenerate while blocking healing entirely at night.
• Sapphire Orb: grants great constitution and the ability to teleport from place to place.

The Conclusion
Long hours of runing through the woods in total darkness, the slasher was finally discovered. After the capture of several different "Mad Slashers", none of which knowing what their captors were talking about, it was discovered that the Sapphire Orb itself was the mad slasher. It was possesing one person at a time and forcing them to kill each evening.
Thank you to our Mad Slashers for the weekend: Aubrey Epos Woodwalke, Dandan, Teliel Ap'Tiefi, Grim Mr. Herald - "Frenchy"
