Editing Retrieving the Cowl (section)

=== Timed events ===
{{TEheader}}
{{TErow| 1 |Intro|A [[Barbarian]] named [[Terek]] has located the [[Vampire's Cowl]] for [[Sandro]].  Unfortunately, Bandits in the [[Contested Lands]] captured [[Terek]] on his way back from [[Deyja]]. [[Terek]] convinced the bandits that his friends would pay handsomely for his return with his possessions intact.<p>My scrying has shown he is being held in an underground prison near the [[Deyja]]n border.}}
{{TErow| 1 |Intro (cont)|I also received some good news today.  [[Clancy]] obtained permission from his Lord to help me find the other two artifacts.  [[Lord Fayette]] said it was all right with him as long as we didn't invade [[AvLee]].  I believe the last part was a joke.}}
{{TErow| 3 |Scouting Report [[Rampart]] Towns|A scouting party has located a neutral [[Rampart]] town to the north east of our starting base of operations.}}
{{TErow| 11 |Another Harvested Village|Today we rode through another small hamlet that had been "harvested" by a [[Necromancer]] about a month ago.  I buried what was left of the children's bodies.  There weren't any adults; they had all been raised as skeletons, I'm sure.<p>I feel so old and tired and angry and unsettled when I see this type of thing.  I don't see how [[Erathia]] is going to retain the [[Contested Lands]] if they can't protect their people from this horror.}}
{{TErow| 11 |Another Harvested Village (cont)|I must stay focused on my quest.  I found out very painfully I couldn't single-handedly rid the world of evil.  The best I can do is help others help themselves.  I gave [[Mayor Delino]] gold to help resettle people near [[Clovergreen]], where the militia can protect them.  I gave him the rest of my coin to help support the militia.  The militia are all volunteers, but they still need weapons, equipment and supplies.}}
{{TErow| 19 |Scouting Report [[Border Lord]]|Apparently I made an impression on the [[Deyja]]n [[Border Lord]]s.  My Elven scouts report the nearest [[Border Lord]] seems to be raising an army to challenge our presence near the border.  They suspect a Vampire Scout spotted us when we moved into this area of the [[Contested Lands]].}}
{{TErow| 27 |Dream from Manda|I had another dream about [[Amanda]] last night.  I think the dreams are real, and she's communicating with me by magic.<p>She asked me how I was faring.  I told her I had recovered the Amulet for [[Sandro]] and agreed to help his master, [[Ethric]], find a [[Vampire's Cowl]] and a pair of [[Dead Man's Boots]].  Shaking with fury, I also told her about the 'harvesting,' and how I was trying to help the villagers in this area.  She just looked at me with her wise, calm eyes and advised me to be careful, very careful about what I was doing, and it wouldn't be like the last time.}}
{{TErow| 30 |Sorting it out|I was thinking about... things today.  Sometimes I just refuse to think about certain things, but it hurts too much, and, besides, I feel more settled now.  I don't think it's wrong to hate the Hateful or not forgive the Unforgivable.  What I think is wrong is to let that hating and unforgiving turn a person into the thing they hate or won't forgive.  I won't make that mistake again.  I won't be like them.}}
{{TErow| 38 |Visit from Lord|[[Clancy]]'s [[Lord Fayette]] arrived today!  What a pleasant surprise!  He claimed he was on a "Hunting Trip" and winked at me.  This is the first chance I had to talk to him, and I liked him a lot.  We talked about the forest, animals and people.  Just before he left, he said he would like for me to think about joining the [[AvLee]] forces as a hero working for either him or another [[AvLee]] Lord.  He told me to send him a messenger with my thoughts on the matter in a few days}}
{{TErow| 42 |Letter to Lord|I wanted to write [[Lord Fayette]] right after his visit, but I forced myself to let some time pass.  I finally wrote him today that I would be happy to join his forces but needed to finish gathering the items [[Ethric]] wanted first.  I think he will understand.  I'll just have to wait and see.}}
{{TErow| 50 |Letter from Lord|I received a letter from [[Lord Fayette]] today.  I had to open it right away.  It formally invited me to join his forces as a General as soon as my promise to [[Sandro]] was fulfilled.  He said some flattering things that made me laugh.  That elf lord is also a charmer.  It is going to be a pleasure working for him.}}
