Author: Hephaestus
Well, as I was taking a quick break, some dreads came up and I have been hearing Corp Pors, In Flam grav, and In Nox Grav from UltraRage. Red text. 6 Corp Por's. Waiting for things to quiet down.
23S27W Went straight to the road an was okay... I hid and saw some folks there. Also found a vendor for regs. He was hi, but I was needy and had to buy them at twice normal price. Healed a couple of young adventurers who had tangled with an ettin and an orc lord. Cured poison for one. Adam and Ryan O'Connor. WHile heading south, saw blue Lady radu walker and red Lord Reverend Tom talking.
Left the road and heading south east, saw red Lord Jurgen just after I killed a skeleton. After a rest, I proceeded to Spirituality. I first found a set of ruins. I thought that this was the shrine, and had been destroyed. I recited the mantra and meditated in the ruins. I decided to look around and see if I might have been mistaken.
Fortunately, I was. I found the shrine and I proceeded to chant the mantra on the steps, as ter was no way to get to the shrine itself. I had so hoped to at least touch the great ankh. I recited the mantra on the first step, then the second, then the next, then finally the top step. Suddenly, I was on the platform with the shrine. I knelt and meditated on the Virtue of Spirituality. I felt the goddess had blessed me. I then wondered how I would get back to solid ground! I walked around the shrine taking in the beauty of it, when suddenly, I appeared back on the top step. I walked down to the ground to write in my journal, and an adventurer walked up. It was the dishonorable, Bass II. He tried to chant the mantra, but he was not in the proper stance. I assisted him in how to stand and how to get back. He then asked for help on how to receive blessings from the shrine. I instructed him on this. He did not thank me, but went on about his business.
I did not give him much of a chance to talk though. I was on my way to kokoro, or Honor.
76S20E Well, with the lag disease, and the help of the thief Bickmat, I lost 3 blank keys and 49 Nighshade and 17 black pearls. I just tried to get away, but when I realized I could not, I proceeded to pound him with my axe. He ran like a scolded child. If I see him after my quest, I will help him to see the light of the virtues.
I made it to Honor without further incident. Performed the meditations and received blessing from the shrine. Now I am camped waiting for the ship. This has been a long wait, but understandable. IT is here I feel the most helpless. I am beginning to truly miss the company of good friends. I look forward to the arrival of my brother. This part of the journey has moved quickly. We had a problem finding each other, but when we did, we immediately sailed to the Shrine of Valor. I was lucky. WE were close to the shrine. I went to it and meditated and recited the mantra. I was a nice quiet time. We then sailed for the Shrine of Humility. We did have to fight a water elemental or two. But it was no problem for us. When we arrived at the Isle of the Avatar, I was not sure if we wre really there. IT seemed like a dream. I stepped onto the isle and began my search.
