Orhan 4 Day 41 TE 6060

We start home. Sailing north. Blinky stays with us. He's very unnerving.

Haeraan has a dream to figure out why blinky is still with us. It's not terribly illuminating. It seems to indicate that Haeraan is now important enough to merit his own Blinky.

After a couple of days of sailing, we get to the island with the Ordainer. We sail right passed. Then we turn west towards Kaitain, and Blinky comes over and stares at us and then flies off to the Northeast.

We arrive in Kaitain. We get Inn rooms. Haeraan springs for rooms for everyone at the Royal Arms! (10 gold a person a night). It's quite the place.

We get a fair bit of shopping in. Oathar checks in on Diana at his new temple to Neela. Then, he teleports home to stash the laen rod. There, he gets news. There trouble at Santa Vallandra!

Heading back to get the rest of the party from Kaitaine, the group heads back to SV. The mayor explains that horrible mutated creatures (wolves and wyverns) have been coming out of the foothills ever since the great fireball from the sky crashed into the foothills. Ah, that's where that went.

We gather half the army and set out.

We find several *completely* destroyed villages. Like every single building destroyed. We plant the army in a likely defendable place and head into the foothills to scout. We find a long narrow valley, looking like it was recently formed. Tradewind goes up to see deeper into the canyon and suddenly retreats and heads to the party being chased by a Wyvern.

Haeraan and Imre examine the wyvern briefly and determine that it's strangely mutated indeed. It's heading right for us!

We get a round to prepare for the worst.

Suddenly about 50ft. from us, the wyvern slows and stops. We start spreading out into a ring. The wyvern uses its tail to spit a horrid little metal "throwing star" like disk at Oathar. Shockingly, the little thing strikes Oathar, then bounces and goes for Haeraan.

We shoot the strange wyvern down with our extreme powers, turn invisible and head over the ridge ourselves to see what's what.

We're immediately attacked by a strange tower that spits out stuff. (It's a spore colony!) Oh no! It's a whole starcraft creep base! Look out for the queens if you are AT20!

We flee. Looks like we'll have to repel the zerg rush and then counterattack at their base.
