Message |- | style="text-align:center;" | 5, 63, 0 | style="padding-left:7px; padding-right:5px;" | Entry from [[Dargem]]'s diary:<p>{{H|Dargem|0=}}: A tall, one-eyed man assessed the damage. His verdict was that it would take at least a week and a half to fix the smashed side of the hull. This delay, unfortunately, cannot be avoided—but we now have time to locate a source of water and some supplies. On top of that, we will have to find two other ships. I can't wait to pick up the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn]], of course, but I can't afford to be irresponsible now. |- | style="text-align:center;" | 11, 18, 0 | style="padding-left:7px; padding-right:5px;" | "This town pays tribute to us. You're not welcome here, [[pirate]] boy!" |- | style="text-align:center;" | 11, 55, 0 | style="padding-left:7px; padding-right:5px;" | Entry from [[Dargem]]'s diary:<p>{{H|Dargem|0=}}: A terrible picture! Both lost caravels are wrecked, and the shore is littered with corpses and broken weapons. I couldn't believe my eyes! My boys slayed by wild [[orc]]s! Had [[Gunnar]] been here with them, he would surely have handled those senseless creatures... Hell, even that dimwit [[Gruezak]] would've done some good! He'd suggest they eat the [[Guardian]]'s carcass together, and the savages would've happily joined our cause! Instead, our forces have grown three times smaller now. I ordered a search of the wreckage... well, of the corpses, too. Maybe there's something valuable to be found on them—I mean, the lads don't need it anymore.<p><center>'''Contents:''' {{Morale|-1}}, +1234 {{Gold}} [[Gold]] |- | style="text-align:center;" | 13, 71, 0<br>15, 22, 1 | style="padding-left:7px; padding-right:5px;" | ''Note: ONLY applies to {{tan}} player.''<p><center>'''Contents:''' {{Mv|Give|+20000}}</center> |- | style="text-align:center;" | 14, 71, 0 | style="padding-left:7px; padding-right:5px;" | Entry from [[Dargem]]'s diary:<p>{{H|Dargem|0=}}: And so my adventure continues! No man or thing will prevent me from taking the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]]! According to legend, the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn]] is powerful enough to ensure that I won't have to fear [[Casmetra]] or the ones behind her, should it come into my possession. I have no more doubts that she is not who she claims to be, but whoever she is, I will be able to protect my find from her!<p>What I'm worried about, though, is this [[Dead God]]. Could it be... No. Nonsense. That pile of bones should be thousands of miles away now, and that's if he hasn't already been laid to rest by some priest or paladin. |- | style="text-align:center;" | 18, 60, 0 | style="padding-left:7px; padding-right:5px;" | Entry from [[Dargem]]'s diary:<p>{{H|Dargem|0=}}: Loud-mouthed and stupid, [[harpies]] usually live in caves, but for some reason these ones have settled here. I don't even know if I have any use for them. |- | style="text-align:center;" | 20, 58, 0 | style="padding-left:7px; padding-right:5px;" | Entry from [[Dargem]]'s diary:<p>{{H|Dargem|0=}}: While exploring the island, we came across a thatched hut. I drew my cutlass and readied my ice beam, just in case someone jumps us—every other creature we meen on this damn island is trying to eat us!<p>My fears were unfounded. A decrepit, harmless-looking [[orc]] shaman came out of the hut, cast a purbling gaze at us, and croaked:<p>{{Cn|Orc|name=Orc Shaman|image=Orc (HotA)}}: "I know why you're here, umie. You want to get into the [[Dungeon of the Vengeful Serpent]].<p>{{H|Dargem|0=}}: "I sure hope 'umie' isn't an insult, or I'll freeze your empty head and crack it open like a rotten pumpkin," I said.<p>{{Cn|Orc|name=Orc Shaman|image=Orc (HotA)}}: "Lay a finger on me, umie, and you'll never know what it takes to get where you want to get!"<p>{{H|Dargem|0=}}: I thought the argument reasonable, so I deactivated the spell and put my cutlass away. A surprisingly thorough conversation took place between us, and I learned I would have to find eight pendants to enter the [[Guardian]]'s dungeon. Six of them are hidden in different parts of the island, and I need to be very careful to avoid missing them. One is kept by a local [[pirate]], and another is in the possession of some "[[dead god]]." I didn't like the last one at all! When I asked the shaman what that "[[dead god]]" was, he just cackled ominously. Then he invited me to enter the hut, where he could show me the location of some of the pendants in his magic cauldron. |- | style="text-align:center;" | 22, 52, 0 | style="padding-left:7px; padding-right:5px;" | Entry from [[Dargem]]'s diary:<p>{{H|Dargem|0=}}: Just as I expected, I got fatally unlucky. We landed on an island inhabited by numerous, dangerous savages. Despite all troubles, I'm still a powerful mage—and I don't suppose anyone has ever encountered such might in this armpit of the world. I guess I might show these cannibals a couple of my little tricks. That should be enough for them to learn who's in charge here now! |- | style="text-align:center;" | 27, 56, 0 | style="padding-left:7px; padding-right:5px;" | Entry from [[Dargem]]'s diary:<p>{{H|Dargem|0=}}: [[Orc]]s are undoubtedly some of the stupidest creatures in the world. Even among [[goblin]]s, some are not only farily intelligent, but also prone to magic. [[Orc]]s, however, are completely hopeless dullards! In these remote parts, however, I shouldn't be discriminating. Even they will do. As the [[azure dragon]] helps himself to their bodies, I will crush it with magic. Sounds like a plan! |- | style="text-align:center;" | 29, 42, 0 | style="padding-left:7px; padding-right:5px;" | Entry from [[Dargem]]'s diary:<p>{{H|Dargem|0=}}: Someone has scrawled on this rock: FEAR THE [[DEAD GOD]]. I can't stand imperatives addressed at me! What if I don't care to fear any god, dead or alive? If you're into this kind of thing, you can fear your gods to your heart's content. Myself, I prefer to be feared! |- | style="text-align:center;" | 42, 25, 0 | style="padding-left:7px; padding-right:5px;" | Entry from [[Dargem]]'s diary:<p>{{H|Dargem|0=}}: I met a bard girl who offered me a drink and an exchange of stories. According to the one she told, many years ago there was a prison on this archipelago. Languishing in it was a certain [[Siagum]]. These days, both the prison and its prisoner are nearly forgotten; who and why captured him it is not known. However, it is said one can still meet him if one's curious and lucky enough. This odd story stuck with me. Does it have anything to do with the dungeon? Somehow, I don't think it does. |- | style="text-align:center;" | 46, 48, 0 | style="padding-left:7px; padding-right:5px;" | Entry from [[Dargem]]'s diary:<p>{{H|Dargem|0=}}: A surprise: we found an abandoned mercenary camp. It looks as if those who set it up gathered up overnight and left, taking only the essentials. What could possibly frighten these thugs so much? I think I have a hunch. Most likely, there is a creephole leading to the surface from the dungeon where the [[Azure Dragon]]s live, and every now and then, they come out to catch themselves a dinner that smells a little less musty than their usual prey. Such a creature appearing suddenly before them might well have caused the mercenaries to run for the hills. |- | style="text-align:center;" | 71, 4, 0 | style="padding-left:7px; padding-right:5px;" | Entry from [[Dargem]]'s diary:<p>{{H|Dargem|0=}}: Per [[Casmetra]]'s instructions, this is the island. It is surrounded by very rough waters, and the depth increases sharply just a few cubits from the shore, but for some reason the waves have not washed away the sand covering it... I studied the surface of the island carefully and realized that the breath of [[Azure Dragon]]s has a peculiar effect on the environment: it causes any matter to crystallize. This is not sand, but salt! It seems that the surrounding waters are gradually turning into it; new grains are sticking to the mass, and the island is slowly growing. What monstrous power such a transformation should take! However, it should be much easier to turn the human body into a crystal; it contains much more matter that is already solid. I imagined the process of getting turned into a pillar of salt. I shuddered. |- | style="text-align:center;" | 9, 28, 1 | style="padding-left:7px; padding-right:5px;" | Entry from [[Dargem]]'s diary:<p>{{H|Dargem|0=}}: It looks like these caves are much more extensive than they seem. The key to success is to choose the right path and avoid wasting time. |- | style="text-align:center;" | 56, 6, 1 | style="padding-left:7px; padding-right:5px;" | Entry from [[Dargem]]'s diary:<p>{{H|Dargem|0=}}: There were piles of ice salt on the ground—the remains of my predecessors. I could feel the [[Azure Dragon]]s' breath. The creatures were waiting for me in the darkness of the cave. I must... I must defeat them! This is something worth living for! The goal of my entire existence is the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]]! Now I know what I'd been working towards all these years. What I fought fate for. There is no more fear, only determination. Inside this cave lies the answer to all questions, the reward for everything I have endured along the way. I'm about to get what I deserve. One more step... |}
