{{TErow| 1 | Day 1-1| {{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: Jeremy entered “[[Black Mark]]”, quickly looked around, sprawled his hands and gave a jolly cry, “My little brother!”<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: [[Bidley]] had no time to react and ended up squeezed in the arms of his relative.<p>“[[Jeremy]]! Thunderation! Where do you spring from? I was just about to start looking for you.”<p>{{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: “The [[Guiding Star]] showed me the way”, answered [[Jeremy]] blithely, releasing his brother.<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “What star?”, frowned [[Bidley]].<p>{{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: “Never mind. It’s already faded. You can’t imagine where I’ve been! Cannibal tribes, slave merchants, this corn...”<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “Lucky you! And I’ve been to the [[Plane of Water]]”<p>{{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: “What did you do there?”, asked [[Jeremy]] suspiciously.<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “Sailing,” answered [[Bidley]] coolly.<p>The pirates sit down to the table and discussed their adventures for some time but later the topic came down to who actually had tangled them into these adventures.<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “[[Casmetra]]”, sighed [[Bidley]], “this witch. She deceived us all. She even betrayed her mercenary. Was it…[[Dargem]]?”<p>{{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: “[[Dargem]],” his brother agreed, “but [[Jeremy Albatross]] never forgets his offenders! [[Casmetra]] will pay for her evil-doings.”<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “You don’t say!”, smiled [[Bidley]] and sipped some wine, “I thought you were good one with another”<p>{{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: “Yes but what could I do?!”, [[Jeremy]] made a helpless gesture, “I’ve always been too susceptible to female beauty! I’m not as cruel as my brother who is neither interested in women, nor in men nor in mermaids. Have you ever thought about a career in the [[Sun Temple]]?”<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “I will think about it as soon as I strangle [[Casmetra]] personally”, answered the older brother coolly.<p>{{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: “You know what’s the most curious thing about it?”, said [[Jeremy]] in a serious tone leaving out all the mockery, “She is not hiding. This witch announced to all the [[Regna]] that obtained the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]]. I think the very [[Dread Pirate Stanley]] is hiding in his mansion pretending nothing special happened. I managed to collect some information besides...”<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “They are afraid of her”, nodded [[Bidley]]. “The whole goddamned [[Empire of the Endless Ocean]] lays low as a prison rat waiting for what comes next. I don’t know why she would need the Horn and why she pursued it so hard but now we must take it from her. Not only because it’s min…ours but also because I don’t like what’s happening!</p>}}
{{TErow| 1 | Day 1-2| In very deed [[Casmetra]] did not hide and every drunken sailor in [[Regna]] knew she stayed at her residence with the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]]. [[Tark]], an old friend of [[Bidley]] and [[Jeremy]]’s, was already spying on her. From the very moment when [[Dargem]]’s castle cracked, the pangolin believed that the pirates did not die and that they would come back some day for revenge. And he was right about it.<p>The only problem was that the [[Casmetra]]’s island was guarded by a big amount of her thugs. There were at least four castles; but it was unknown where was the hostess. [[Bidley]], [[Jeremy]] and [[Tark]] disembarked in different parts of the isle, build camps and were getting ready to assault the lands of the mighty witch.</p>}}
{{TErow| 1 | AI stuff|freq=7|loc=(AI)|effect= +15000 {{Gold}} [[Gold]], +15 {{Wood}} [[Wood]], +15 {{Ore}} [[Ore]], +10 {{Mercury}} [[Mercury]], +10 {{Sulfur}} [[Sulfur]], +10 {{Crystal}} [[Crystal]], +10 {{Gem}} [[Gems]]}}
{{TErow| 2 | Day 2| One of the [[Tark]]’s scouts came back with some information. There is a long-lived rumour that [[Casmetra]] not only possesses the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]] but she is also is trying to do something with it, to carry out some ritual. If it is true, you must stop her before she succeeds as nobody knows what she is doing and for what reason.}}
{{TErow| 5 | Day 5| {{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: “Soho, little brother, chins up! Soon, we’ll catch this witch and she’ll pay for everything!”, cheerfully said [[Jeremy]].<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “Only if we get in time”, frowned [[Bidley]], “It is not for nothing I had an apprehension. She knows something about the Horn that we don’t.”<p>{{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: “We’ll hire a [[necromancer]] so he interrogate her corpse!” grimly roared with laughter younger brother and fired from the pistol in the air on impulse of a youth boldness.</p>}}
{{TErow| 7 | Day 7| Finally, another scout came back. He found out that there is a secret cavern under the isle. Probably, you must look for [[Casmetra]] there. You just need to find a way to get into the cavern.}}
{{TErow| 12 | Day 12| It has been a strange day. The sea got covered with ripples and then they suddenly disappeared. It might have been a nature phenomenon but the majority including [[Bidley]] and [[Jeremy]] blame the witch and her charms for it.}}
{{TErow| 30 | Day 30| It seems that the apprehensions were not in vain! Hundreds watched the sea tremble and heard it groan. As if it was trying to jump out of its coasts but later changed its mind.<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “Curses!” swore [[Bidley]], “we’d better hurry. I don’t know what [[Casmetra]] is doing: destroying  the Horn, saving the world, creating a new broom … - the Horn must be taken from her as soon as possible! I don’t like at all what’s happening here.”<p>{{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: “Me neither,” nodded pale [[Jeremy]], “What if she wants to awake [[the Dormant]]?”<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “Whom?”, asked older pirate surprisingly.<p>{{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: “Well, it actually makes sense. To awake it, you need to blow the Horn”, whispered [[Jeremy]] to himself and looked at his brother and continued. “There’s a legend about an ancient god who sleeps on the bottom of the sea...”<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “Oh, let’s now recall all the sailor’s tales here,” waved off [[Bidley]] and went away to his affairs.</p>}}
{{TErow| 56 | Day 56| Today, something strange happened again and everybody heard some sound coming from the depths of the ocean which more resembled a moan. There is less and less time.}}
{{TErow| 66 | Day 66| [[Jeremy]] seems to have gone crazy about the theory of this god sleeping on the bottom of the sea. Somewhere he managed to find tractates of an ancient [[mage]] [[Joycraft]], studied them and arrived at a conclusion that [[Casmetra]] was a member of an ominous cult which serves [[the Dormant]].}}
{{TErow| 84 | Day 84| The sky got clouded and it has been raining hard for 2 days. There a permanent weak storm on the sea. No doubt it is the work of [[Casmetra]]: as the days grow longer, the storms are stronger.}}
