Being so proud to have finally filled enough tailoring BODS it was time to turn then in and receive not just monetary or material rewards but to gain some fame for doing them. So, I headed to the Moonglow Tailor shop by way of my seaworthy vessel. As I approached the dock I noticed something very different and a crow swooped overhead squawking about news from the Sonoma EM Events site … I turned in my BODS and headed to the local tavern for a cold brew while taking the time to read the following …

Moonglow Blockade Now Complete!
January 18

With pirates and marauders at an all time high on the ocean trade routes, the Noble families have taken steps to ensure the safety of the Moonglow citizens as well as those traveling by ship to and from our fair city. Between the docks and the open ocean a blockade has been built. This blockade is currently open and will remain that way unless outside events dictate otherwise.

The blockade took a lot of time, effort and gold to complete, so a big thank you goes out to our wonderful Noble families of Moonglow!

Three towns in three days have made themselves prepared for something unknown and have taken the time to make the rest of us aware of what they are doing. I wonder why and what tomorrow might bring! I for one will certainly watch the Sonoma EM events news to learn what is going on and if we will be called into action …. in the meantime, be safe out there while traveling the towns.

It was restock the Magincia vendor day so after gathering up the needed supplies I headed to Magincia and while there the town folks were all murmuring something about Dilfred Dumphry’s article appearing on the Sonoma EM Events website. Of course I went there and found the following information ….

 

News from New Magincia!
January 17

News from New Magincia!  By Dilfred Dumphry

Greetings citizens of New Magincia! I, Difred Dumphry have taken on the awe inspiring task of reporting the going on’s of everyone who lives on this wonderful island of Magincia!

First off! During the past few weeks, Lord Roberts has been seen courting Lady Windal, Lady Flesk, and one of the baker’s daughters.  Which is causing quite a scandal for the young Lord’s esteemed parents who not surprisingly, declined to comment.  The Baker however laughed and stated that his daughter was very good at making dough rise.  Moving along!

Next up is the warehouse across from the bank!  A good many of us have tried, err…  *know* of someone who has tried to pick the locks on the warehouse doors but to no avail. (Entertaining the bank tellers greatly in the process.)  However, the Lords and Ladies seem to know something us common folk don’t since they have seen fit to double the guard.  Which brings us nicely to our final bit of news.

The Nobles of New Magincia “have put aside their differences to work together during these troubled times.” They wish to “assure one and all that the rumors of supplies not getting through are false!”  Good to know.  Good to know.

That concludes my report good citizens!  Farewell for now!

Good thing I remembered to bring my trusty pack llama filled with supplies needed for the vendor!! What in the UO world is going on with all these rumors?

As usual for a Monday morning I headed to Jhelom to make my purchases from the local bakery when a strange sound startled my thoughts. It sounded like someone had shot an arrow and it was heading in the same direction I was going. Quickly I ducked against the wall and ‘THUNK’ the arrow hit right above my head! Attached to the arrow was the following notice from Sonoma EM Events site …

 

Goods Missing from Warehouse!

From the Jhelom Times
January 16

Yesterday it was discovered that luxury goods were missing from both Jhelom warehouses.  It is unknown when these goods were removed.  A thorough investigation is being made.  However, according to one of the guards, some visitors to our fine city may be suspect.

The Noble families of Jhelom would like to reassure its citizens that they are doing everything possible to keep Jhelom the safe prosperous city it has always been. To ensure this, guards will be posted day and night at both warehouses and visitors to our fine city will be asked to sign in a book when entering the city.

To help pay for this extra security a small tax will be placed on the Performing Arts Center’s performances.  Also funds that were set aside for the Jhelom Library will be used instead to pay for the added security.

I removed the arrow and paper then headed home to dispatch this important message to all the citizens of Sonoma. Be on guard and watch out for any strange happenings around the towns!

Who would have thought that Daniel had a sister? Well not a biological sister but a woman whom he thought of as a sibling! But I have got ahead of myself. Let me start from the beginning.

I was quietly chatting with Elyograg as he was new to our class and was interested in our lessons. I was explaining Daniel’s rule” better to run away and live to sleuth another day” when Daniel walked into the room. He looked weary but we all knew he was more worried about Algenon than he would let on. Oh he would say it is just another contract but when he thought no one was looking I could see he cared for the old man.

He got right to the point. There was urgency in his voice.

Hello Sleuths, did anyone find Algenon’s books?

Moxxi seemed to have taken a liking to Algenon as well. She had searched everywhere “sadly, did not” She shook her head. Silent Death and Ansatsu were also shaking their heads. Seemed none of us had seen even a page.

Many were quick to point out other things happening.  Queen elf sand had heard sherry the mouse is in trouble others were concerned about the gargoyle realms. It seemed like chaos and havoc were everywhere.

“Many things are happening in the realm. We may have to scout out many different things at the same time. Keep very aware in the next while. Do you think you are ready for that?

Some shrugged uncertainly. Smolen honestly stated I do not know but MELINKO, Mad Dawg, and Clym jumped to their feet stating emphatically “Go on M’lord!  I am up to the challenge! Ansatsu was grinning with a look of anticipation. Rei had pulled a dagger from his boot and laughed when he said “If it involves killing I am in!”

Daniel said he thought we needed to talk to the prodigies who deal with Algenon.  He asked us to report other events to Captain Bob or Amonos. We all agreed that the safety of the entire realm should be handled by the guard. I planned to go myself. I knew my miniature kriss could always come in handy.

We traveled to Nujel’m where we found Sarah in her favorite place on the north beach. She was fretting more than usual but still greeted us politely. Our conversation went much as follows:

Sarah The Alchemy Prodigy: Hello again. Have you found a cure for alchemy master?

Daniel Ravens: No we have not

Sarah The Alchemy Prodigy: He is skin and bones now

Daniel Ravens: Have you been down to see him lately?

Sarah The Alchemy Prodigy: I go every day. I make him soup.

Daniel Ravens: I see. Do you go alone?

She did not answer but we wanted to know if there could have been an accomplice so Daniel pressed harder

Daniel Ravens: Do YOU GO Alone?

Mad Dawg: answer the man!

She seemed to tear up and nodded.

Sarah The Alchemy Prodigy: He is skin and bones now

Daniel Ravens: Do you know about any others? Can anyone else get there that you know about?

Confusion came over her face so Ansatsu asked more gently “Who else goes and visits?”

Sarah The Alchemy Prodigy: Sometimes Emile comes but she likes to guard the pool and the other girl who is down by the dock has been meditating there.

Daniel Ravens: Water breath is a requirement of the prodigies before they can get there is that not right?

Sarah nodded. Why yes it is. Odd that she says she cannot make it. Hmm, that is suspicious. I guess I am so worried about Master that I had not thought of that.

Daniel Ravens: One more thing. Do you think Emile would hurt Alge… erm Master Alchemist?

Sarah: Oh no she guards that pool as though our life depends on it *in a sad tone* and Master’s might.

Daniel Ravens was looking at us, “I wonder why she is not wearing her robes?” He turned to her “tell us where your robe is!”

Sarah The Alchemy Prodigy: We are trying to blend in to protect ourselves

Elyograg: ewww smart

Daniel Ravens: protect from what?

Sarah The Alchemy Prodigy: There have been raids at the docks. WE do not want to get hurt.

Mad Dawg: Raids at the docks?

Ansatsu: Oooo we need to talk to Emily then. She sounds like a traitor!

Daniel Ravens: Yes Ansatsu we shall. *points to Sarah* She really is tight lipped tonight. Very odd!  I think we need to talk to the girl by the dock here first.

Rei: Let’s kill her

Daniel raised a brow. We might need to Rei.

The girl was not at the dock. We wondered where she might have gone. A man was watching out so we approached him. He mostly stared at us suspiciously. We figured a man so intent must have seen something.

Moxxi: Can you help us?

Cadwell the Watchman: Maybe but you would have to tell me more than that.

Queen Mum rolled her eyes.

Katrina: We are looking for a woman who was standing here.

Cadwell the Watchman: The woman wearing the terra cotta robes?

Silent Death added, “She stank like herbs.”

Cadwell the Watchman: There is a gaggle of them just north from here. Several meet up there. Don’t trust them. I am sure they are up to no good. There is much unrest here.

Mad Dawg: Unrest? What is happening?

Cadwell the Watchman: We have been seeing a lot of plundering. Jewelry shop was robbed last week.

Men and women in those robes, bad lot I say.

He had nothing more to say so we ventured north and found a couple dressed in the alchemy robes that Algenon liked his students to wear. Ansatsu pointed it out to us when we were just out of their earshot.

Mad Dawg commented sarcastically “they are trying to blend in!”

We thought this strange after visiting Sarah and hearing that they were trying to blend in. Could Sarah have been responsible for the robberies? I doubted it. She seemed genuinely worried. Could these people be using the prodigies as a guise?

Clym asked right out. Who are you?

The Alchemy Prodigy*looked about* we are disciples of the Master

I tried to trick them up, you mean Algenon?

Alchemy Prodigy: Oh we do not speak of her to outsiders. Go Away!

Gideon caught the word her? He asked: Alchemy Master is Algenon, a man. Your master is a woman?

Alchemy Prodigy: We are *glances outside* prodigy but not the one you want. Different Master I suppose. You don’t want us.

Daniel Asked: Where is your Master now?

Alchemy Prodigy: Oh she said something about meditating by the pond, and putting someone to rest.

Moxxi: POND!

Mad Dawg: let’s drown ‘em, if they are true prodigies they will be able to breathe just fine!

Daniel: That would be true if they had their potions with them Mad Dawg!

Alchemy Prodigy: Scram! We are not of whom you seek.

Moxxi: such hostility

Mad Dawg: You gonna let them talk to you like that Daniel?

Moxxi: something isn’t right

Daniel: I agree Moxxi and Mad Dawg yes, for now. We will take care of them later. They may be our jewelry thieves. We need more evidence.

Daniel Ravens: We seek the prodigy. I have a bad gut feeling, let’s go to the Pond.

Moxxi: but who to trust?

Daniel Ravens: I do not trust them.

Moxxi: me either

Daniel Ravens: one said something about putting someone to rest. Don’t Algenon’s prodigies meditate by a pool?

Moxxi: at the pond?

Ansatsu: yes

Silent Death: something is wrong here. Only Sarah and Emily could make water breath so it is strange that the other Prodigy is going to the pond.

Hatsheput: this one never made a water breath potion.

Daniel Ravens: remember she just stayed by the dock.

Daniel Ravens: look for any clues

Hatshepsut: we will!!!

Queen Mum was pointing to the ground “earrings; these should not be here

]

Moxxi: this must refer to the missing jewelry!

Ansatsu: They did talk about jewelry thieves

Daniel Ravens: they look expensive

Daniel Ravens: *nod*

Moxxi: *wants them like any female would*

Daniel Ravens: Moxxi, I think you are related to Xarra…

Moxxi: oh dear! Look there are more, another pair of earrings and a very expensive pearl necklace. We should return them to the store.

Daniel: Seems that whoever took these was also going near the pond. That ties the theft and the “prodigies that were still robed I think”

Just then Ansatsu came running from the copse of trees.

Ansatsu: Daniel The scroll

Daniel Ravens: *looks closely* this is very old paper. This must be Algenon’s.

Ansatsu: I would think so. Maybe it’s from his books?

Moxxi: perhaps you better keep that Daniel

Daniel Ravens: I think someone involved in the heist must also be involved with Natasha and Algenon

Daniel Ravens: nice pearls

Moxxi: very: *admires*

Daniel Ravens: my step sister always loved pearls

Mad Dawg: *has all the evidence he needs*

Moxxi: *step sister??* Daniel was off to business

Daniel Ravens: Maybe Emily saw something.  Did you see her near the pool?

Elyograg: indeed. She’s by the pond.

Daniel Ravens: let’s talk to her

Clym of Clough: she keeps scratching. Says she has spiders under her skin.

Hatsheput was already there holding Emily as Emily rambled. “It is not good” said Hatsheput “but some if it makes sense.”

Moxxi: emily!

Emily the Alchemy Prodigy: *scratches arm* Cries out NO! Leave us alone. Don’t hurt him *with an absent look* I never trusted her

Daniel Ravens: *waves hand in front*

Ansatsu: It’s like they are all under someone else’s control

Moxxi: drugged?

Daniel Ravens: I think so. Emily we are here to help, so speak to us

Daniel Ravens: who did you not trust

Emily the Alchemy Prodigy: I am not going to drink it. I do not trust you. *stares off into space*

Daniel Ravens tried to encourage more information from poor Emily “Drink? No don’t drink it. This is not good.”

Emily the Alchemy Prodigy: It burns please stop. I am choking.

Moxxi: who made you drink it?

Daniel Ravens: I am thinking the other Prodigy

Emily the Alchemy Prodigy: Where did those lights come from? Psychedelic!  *scratches arms* How did these spiders get under my skin?

Moxxi: lights???

Daniel Ravens:  oh yes she is drugged. Natasha would have needed help, an accomplice. I am thinking the other Prodigy had the ability to make the water breathe potion. She just lied about it.

Moxxi: oh no!

Emily the Alchemy Prodigy: I always hide when the trade caravan passes by.

Emily the Alchemy Prodigy: they get pillaged you know

Blueberry Muffin: dig the spiders out!

Emily the Alchemy Prodigy: Cries out – NO! Leave us alone. Don’t hurt him.  Rioters are everywhere. Go Away!

Daniel Ravens: Algenon is in danger but we need a water breath to get to him

Elyograg: there is an almost empty bottle hidden in the water in that pond.

Mad Dawg: *hands Emily a dagger* this should help!

Daniel glared at Mad Dawg.

We jumped into the pond and tried to swim to where Elyograg had seen the potion. The pond was filled with slimy seaweed that tangled our limbs and tried to pull us down. I was grateful I had rubbed my dagger with an oiled cloth before leaving my home. I pulled it from my sleeve and hacked my way down to the glass bottle. I took a small sip and continued to the grotto.

When I got through the secret entrance Daniel was whispering. “Careful Nat might be here.” We walked up the hall and into the cavern leaving small puddles of water as we went. As we entered the large space we saw Algenon standing by his four poster bed. This was unusual as he had always hidden from us before.

Algenon: Where are my books? *grin* they are interesting books.

Daniel Ravens: *waves hand in front* He is glassy eyed too!

Ansatsu: He’s drugged too

Daniel Ravens: yes Ansatsu, this is very bad news

Algenon: It is hidden in the book, you won’t find it. The flavour, yes page 17 in the book

Daniel Ravens: what is hidden in the book?

Algenon: Keep the little ones safe. I won’t let them hurt the children

Daniel Ravens: you never let them hurt the children

Clym of Clough: He’s delirious

Ansatsu: Look at his glasses Daniel

Algenon: have you seen my glasses?

Daniel Ravens: yes we are looking for them

Clym of Clough: they’re broken and on the bed

Algenon: I am told the human races are rioting. Dress like the rest. Blend in. Don’t look important.

Daniel Ravens: see he told Sarah

Algenon: have you seen my glasses?

Queen Mum: aye they are on the bed

Daniel Ravens: *Points they are there Algenon*

Daniel Ravens: by the bed

Daniel Ravens: *helps put them on Algenon* there now you can see us. You are up and out of bed. Are you feeling better? You still look frail.

Algenon: it is hidden in the book you won’t find it.

Daniel Ravens: *frown*

Gideon: page 17

Ansatsu: Where’s the book?

Daniel Ravens: I think who ever drugged Emily came here after

Elyograg: looks at empty bottle and plate

Algenon: Daniel, help her!

Daniel Ravens: help her?

Algenon: it is hidden in the book you won’t find it.

Daniel Ravens: I will find it

Algenon: Luludja was right.

Daniel Ravens: Luludja?

Algenon: Save me Daniel! I feel so weak

Daniel Ravens: I will Algenon. We all will.

Moxxi: yes we will!

Daniel Ravens: we promised you

Daniel Ravens: *nod*

Algenon: she took it. Natasha! Natasha *grimaces*

Ansatsu: I suspected she was behind it

Daniel Ravens: *grimaces*

Daniel Ravens: you should be in bed

Elyograg: sleep

Algenon: Where is Sarah with my soup?  That does not look like my soup

Algenon: the flavour, yes page 17 in the book.

Daniel Ravens: oh someone gave you something that tastes like one of your potions?

Algenon: I won’t let them hurt the children

—-

Daniel pulled us aside and explained Sarah and Emily are the children. It was once Luludja and me!

Algenon: Yes! Yes! Find Luludja!

Daniel Ravens: he needs rest. I think this will wear off.

Moxxi: *hopes so*

Daniel Ravens: whoever gave it to him did not plan to kill him. They must need him for something else.

Ansatsu: No they wanted information

Daniel Ravens: or befuddle him so they could snoop about

Elyograg: we need to find this mans books?

Daniel Ravens: yes we do

Daniel Ravens: we have a few things to investigate

Daniel Ravens: first the jewelry theft, someone must tell Amonos or Captain Bob and have them look into it.  It happened in town; they are responsible.

Ansatsu: We will tell him tomorrow

Queen Mum, Smolen, and Mad Dawg all volunteered to ensure the guard was informed.

Daniel Ravens: also Algenon’s books.  We must watch for any signs of them and find out what is page 17.

Also he mentioned Luludja. Do any of you know her?

We all shook our heads no but Elyograg suggested that it sounded like a Gypsy name.

Daniel Sighed. You have been loyal to me so I will share this with you. She is another of Algenon’s ermmm wards? I think she was a gypsy. I will tell you a story.

Long ago when I was with the shadow dwellers, one of the Elders brought in a young girl. She was my age, 17ish, and she had a gift of foresight. The shadow dweller that caught her treated her poorly even by their standards. Her name was Luludja.

Silent Death piped in “Poor girl”

Daniel nodded “one day Algenon came to me not to make a potion, he knew I couldn’t, but for help.

He gave me an invisibility potion and asked me to ermm do a task I was very good at. Stealthily go to the girl. Then I was to give Luludja the potion and sneak her out. She was guarded by a young shadow dweller and several traps. I dispensed of them all quickly and painlessly. We took her and hid her in the mountains. Algenon and I fed her. Once she was stronger we took her to a town, *thinks* Buc’s Den, where she could hide easily. We took care of her for years but I left to serve Queen Dawn and lost track of her.

Mad Dawg was shocked, “you abandon her?”

Daniel looked sad “well it is hard to explain. I felt that the realm needed me and I could serve it in a way a Queen could not. About Lulu, I really liked her but, well; I think we were jealous of each other

Elyograg: choices are hard sometimes

Daniel continued “see when Algenon was with Lulu, he was not teaching me and when he was with me he was not helping her. If we were really sister and brother: I would say sibling rivalry.

Silent Death: the plot thickens

Daniel Ravens: so tomorrow you find Amonos or Bob and tell them of the robbery

Ansatsu: yes

Moxxi: we will!

Elyograg: Yes, Tomorrow!

I will see if I can find Luludja. I will call you on the wind when I have more information. Then Daniel perked up. Psst call her lulu she hates it

Mad Dawg: yep, Lulu it is!

Elyograg: Very well

Diamond grinned I had a little puppy named lulu when I was little!

Daniel laughed. A sound I had not heard very often. Ah I like that. I cannot wait to see Lulu and tell her of your puppy! Oh but I am not a 17 year old anymore and she may be dead. It has been a very long time.

How many here are over 400 years old?

Elyograg: why can’t I steal any of this?

Daniel Ravens: this is Algenon’s home.  We are on contract with him. We do not steal from our employer as it tends to be bad for repeat business.

We all left eager to find Amonos or Bob.

The following day Moxxi reluctantly returned the jewelry to the shop. The shop owner was very pleased as they were the valuable ones but was concerned that cheaper ones were also missing. We searched the City and Palace and found many bandits and thieves.

We discovered they were working for the robed ones in the south of town. After returning the jewelry we regained from the thugs, we felt we had enough evidence to apprehend the alchemy prodigy posers.

We grabbed them and dragged them to a holding cell in the courtroom where the await trial.

Keep alert and watch for any strange or peculiar comings and goings that needs reporting at the next meeting of the Sleuth Guards on Thursday, January 26th.

_____________________________________

Players were asked to meet at the Councilors hall in Brit naked,  empty backpack and no mounts – Sunday (1/08) at 6:00 pst.  Here’s what  happened:

On one side of the room we had the Red team!  On the other side, we  had the blue team!  Drafty robes were soon forgotten when the gates  opened and they were off!

The first task for each team was to stay alive and gather the resources needed to take on bigger badder critters!

RunNeptune!

Each  team had two chests, one unlocked with basic items.  And one locked  (and trapped which Ansatsu quickly learned) which contained some luxury  items such as pots.

Now to gather resources for armor and weapons.  Killing critters in  drafty robes is quite the challenge and I was amazed at the different  methods that were employed.

We have LESTAT’s method of Holy Light and wrestling mongbats to death.

There’s the pixie, wither and beat the thing down method…

At this point I see the above message.  I had to go and look.  When I got there all I saw was….

A bunch of dead spawn.  Looks like red might be in trouble.

Putting regs to good use, bees and evs were summoned

Also the pixie, tree form, holy light, bare butt and *gasp* using a spear method…

Finally the let’s use everything we’ve got to kill them fast method.

Leather  was in serious short supply.  Blue team lucked out – sort of – and  found a stash of living breathing leather.  Now to umm harvest that  leather.

Bye bye drafty robes! Hello dashing warrior! *giggles*

Next, each team had to search the nearby dungeon for a moongate and  get their team through it.  This proved very tricky since the dungeons  had nasty critters and the moongates were in ummm inconvenient  locations.

Red team stuck together and found their moongate.  Blue team had  scouts, missed the room with the moongate, got separated and fled the  dungeon.  One scout found the moongate and brought the rest of the blue  team, alive and dead to it.

Both red and blue teams found themselves in Despise where it was a  short jog to the entrance where a white banner was waiting to be dyed by  the first team that made it out.

Which turned out to be the red team.  Both teams headed back to the Brit Councilors Hall to swap stories.

Along the right side of the above screen shot are the names of the winning red team.

Congrats everyone!

  From the Sonoma EM Events website …

Amonos heard from Daniel that there was questionable behavior in N’Jelm. He hoped all was well. N’jelm was a favorite town. He loved the palace and all the gardens. None the less when Daniel thought he should check something out, he had learned that he had better get to it.

Meet at the Serpent’s hold Guard Hall Friday January 13 at 9 ET, 8 CT, 7 MT, 6 PT for information gathering.

*Rune to the Serps Hold Guard Hall is located at the feet of the Event Announcer located inside Luna Bank area.

Daniel was worried about Algenon. He had slipped back after the other sleuths left. Algenon was sleeping but breathing very shallow. This was not right. The Shadow Dweller enchantment prevented our death. He hoped to get more information soon. SO far nothing had turned up.

Meet at Serpents Hold @ 5 PT, 6 MT, 7 CT, 8 ET Thursday January 12.

*Rune to the Serps Hold Guard Hall is located at the feet of the Event Announcer located inside Luna Bank area.

____________________________________

Do you like survivor?  How about capture the flag?  Do I have your interest?  If so, read on!

In the survivor portion you and your team (5 – 10 people) will be dumped naked with no mounts and an empty backpack, (spellbooks with no mods allowed but nothing else), at a secret location.  There you will encounter evil creatures such as mongbats, snakes and who knows what else.  If you wish to survive, you’ll need to make armor and weapons (crafters please take note!).  To obtain the raw materials needed you will have to search out locked chests (lockpickers take note!) and kill the local wildlife.

The final portion of this event is capture the flag.  Each team has a banner.  Now that you’re geared up and ready to roll, you’ll do just that.  Your next job is to find a moongate and get your team through it.  Yes it’s guarded.  Once through the moongate you and your team will have win free of a few more critters that want to eat you for lunch, find the other team’s banner and dye it your team color.  The team that gets to the banners first and dyes them wins!

The winning team name and/or the names of the participants will be engraved on a trophy.  It will be displayed in the Awards Hall.

Meet at the Councilors hall in Brit naked, empty backpack and no mounts – Sunday (1/08) – 6:00 pst. A gate will be provided at West Brit bank.
