Day One:
Upon reaching WYU, I saw Silver Dryad standing alone on the lawn. She welcomed me and I asked her how she was doing. She replied by saying, "I am fine and lonely." She then told me she was having a wierd dream. I asked her if I could inquire about this dream.
She told me that she dreamed an evil was on its way to WYU, and that she feared something had happened to her sister. Soon others showed up to the school. Krythan, Marius, Onik, Mr. Winkie VI, Gangrel and Skippy El Fin. Things seemed usual, students sparred and chatted among one another. Thats when a ghost appeared out of no where. It was Ce'Nedra Willow, Silvers sister. Silver quickly cried out for someone to spirit speak. No sooner then had she said that I had contacted the netherrealm. Ce'Nedra told me she had been killed by an unknown evil, and that she had been cursed and could not be resurrected.
Only moments later a man appeared behind her. He was dressed in dreary black clothing. His name was Quagamortis Vox. He offered to spare Ce'Nedra's soul if another where given in her place. Thus Silver gave her soul for that of her sisters. She became ill all of a sudden and told Skippy El Fin that she was in charge of the school. Moments later Silver passed away and we watched her soul follow behind the dark man. Then with a flash of light they where gone.
Krythan quickly resurrected Ce'Nedra, just after she ran off saying she was going to find help. Skippy contacted EDU and they sent over a group to help search for Silver and the strange man. 3 groups went out and searched that night. One group to Britian, another to the Yew Crypt and the last group stayed at the school. Nothing more was found that night.
Day Two
We searched some more, finding a gypsy named Magda. The gypsy after touching a few things of Silvers, told us that her soul was in a dark and wet place. With this new info a group was sent to the swamp just north east of Trinsic. Many logged before we could finish, so we went back to the school.
Day Three
Twas a terrible day. Started when Ce'Nedra came to the school. She told us that she heard Silvers soul was on Fire Isle. With that said, I lead a group of 7 to Fire Isle. The group consisted of, Minor Shyft Eanna Krythan Gangrel Lithion, Marius, and myself. Minor and I lead the group to the temple. Finding nothing there we decided to head to Hythloth.Upon leaving the temple we where attacked by a deamon. Krythan and myself died. After being resurrected we met up with a man named Gerry Garcia. With his help we made it to Hythloth and searched the dungeon. Still finding nothing we gated back to the school, only to hear that a Masked Cult had attacked the school.
Day Four
Do to lack of people we did not search.
Day Five
The Mask Cult attacked EDU. On one of the bodies of the cult members we found a map. A small group was sent to find the source of the map. The source of the map was found to be the Yew Crypt. We believe Silver is being held there. We gave the map to Magda, who has said she will make copies for everyone. Tomarrow a party of both WYU and EDU will be sent to investigate the area.
Day Six
Things did not work out as planned. A medium sized group including Gerry Garcia Krythan Mikhail Eanna, a few others, and myself went to the Yew Crypt. We searched for nearly an hour. Still no closer to the truth we headed back to the school.
Back at the school a small meeting was held. Magda using her powers as a medium had decided the end will come sometime within 3 eves from now. Later that night Magda was summoned to EDU. Upon arrival back she informed me with bad news. EDU has decided to stop helping witht the search. Though I managed to keep everyones moral high, I fear others will also leave the search.
Day Seven
We searched the crypt again, along with a tower to the north. At the tower we where attacked by the Mask Cult. On all of their bodies we found wine, and other alcholic bevrages. Magda soon spotted a trail of it leading to a house just outside the tower. Back at the tower Mr. Vox had showed himself. We managed to kill him, but he came back even stronger then before. Finally we managed to kill him yet again. On his body we found a key. We decided we would try the key on the door of the house we had found earlier, sure enough if unlocked the door. Inside was a Comm Crystal, which when turned on we found we could talk to Silver. Magda did most of the talking. This is what Silver had to say. "I am being held a ways away from here. The people who have me have said they will let me go on one condition. There is to be 3 honorable duels. One in Magery, one in Melee combat, and another in Archery. Willing to do anything for Silver we agreed. We headed back to the school to choose our duelers. Ameeting was held for nearly an hour, till finally we picked our duelers they would be, Skipp in melee, Krythan in magery, and Kadran in archery.
Day Eight
We gated to the tower where Silver was being held, only to find out it was in the swamps jsut NE of Trinsic. At the top an arena was laid out, with Silvers soul in the middle. The first duel was archery. Kadran against Mack. Mack won the duel but do to an error he lost. He had failed to wait for the Seer to say begin. The second duel was melee. Skippy against Phaint. Skippy with her great skill made short work of Phaint. Next was magery. Krythan against Yogi. Yogi overpowered Krythan and soon Krythan lay dead on the tower. Winning 2 out of 3 the cult released their claim on Silver's soul. Gerry Garcia resurrected Silver and Silver thus told me to write this down for her. Here is what she said, "This building ye now stand on, is to be the new school. This school will teach honorable combat like that, of which we saw today. As for myself I will return to my school." With all that said and done, we headed down stairs and feasted for an hour. Soon we headed back to the school and logged. Welcome home Silver Dryad. We missed you.
