[sent Monday evening]

You've probably heard what happened by now. I'm back, and I'm doing okay.

If I lost anything in the Dark other than my brain I haven't been able to figure out what it is yet, so I guess I lucked out.

I'm no longer the Sharifa, so I've gone home to Fall City to regroup, but my contact info's still the same besides the address.

Be careful out there.

As most of you heard, the Mazda was gravely injured in the attack on the Nenakret. She lost her left leg in the bombing and has, under the advice of doctors, been told to take some time off for health reasons.

The Amber Gaze high command will fill in until such time that she can return to duty.

[E-mail: GLs]

Acher and some men showed up at a lab in the Nenakret. They stole something. We're figuring out what, still.

I killed him at least twice and he came back. Been better but I'm okay. Going to sleep once they confirm I don't have a concussion.

[Dragonmail: Victor]

I encountered Acher again. We fought.

I think he's given up. I'm sorry.

[so Mal's been talking to his high druids and having people search, but finding a creature that can possess other creatures is not that easy when it keeps, well, possessing creatures.]

Hey so we just found Yosgeth nearing druid territory

We could use some help with this what with not having holy enchants of any sort

Could also use a high level disenchant in case of possessions

['high level' sounds weird when this shit is REAL ...eh whatever they'll get it]

In game mechanics she was strong against all damage except holy and has attacks that ignore all armor but holy enchanted. She can possess so we'll want to try to make sure she doesn't manage to get one of us if we can.

Also I spoke with Zaira and Elwin and apparently the lore about her being an ancient and revered spirit is true and they really don't want to see her die if we can avoid it, so I've been practicing with spirits and want to see if I can calm her. Problem is I haven't exactly had a raid boss to practice on so. They said she may need to be weakened but have no idea how much.

[Yosgeth doesn't technically have a gender, and most refer to the spirit as 'it', but his high druids kept referring to her as 'she' so whatever.]

I'd like to request permission to enter druid territory. Specifically, a small grove near the berserker's border.

[Have a small map attachment with the approximate area circled. It's no place of significant on its own.]

There's a grave there. I want to retrieve the body for resurrection.

If you think there's any reason the druids might see my presence as hostile or offensive, I'm willing to work with compromises.

[also CC'd to Darius and Ezra]
[This may have come sooner if it wasn't for that time everything caught fire.]

What's your current policy on resurrections?

I think we found Rachel's body in one of the graves that Aerveas's men dug, outside of the city.

[alright you stupid dragon thing let's see how you work

Sent late Tuesday of Week 35 after Tai Feng gets a visit from a man with a knife. Sorry for backlogs!!]

They come after me. Man with knife and grey cloak show while I was working. I am OK, A guy I know come and kill him. Good timing, I guess.

Man with knife say I should have stay out of it so I am pretty sure it is because of thing in Vegas.

I am not sure what to do, so I think to mail you. Guess it is good thing I have to return for gauntlets soon?

[she is sufficiently upset that the want to be sure he can respond without tracing paper outweighs her preference for signing her name only in Chinese:]

[e-mail to all GLs! sorry about last week backlogs]

Former X-DAV employee Lisa Martinez is currently residing in the Undertow under my protection after Greycloaks attempted to kill and/or abduct her. I'm still not really sure which.

And no, unfortunately, she doesn't know anything about the how or why of X-DAV or anything about the merge. She's as clueless as the rest of us, except with events instead of characters.

[curse you X-DAV]

What she does know is Kandre Volcano has a leviathan living under it that's starting to wake up. She says that'll cause an eruption, and I don't have to tell you the damage that would do. Not to mention, rogue fire dragon. And this one sounds several times larger than Kharveryos was.

Back when this was a game she wrote a way to fix it. She says he's mostly just hungry, but a picky eater. If we can appease him, he won't go on a rampage, and he'll give the chef of his favorite dish treasure.

I know how this sounds, but it's all I've got.

[this is posted sometime in the early afternoon on Friday, after a minor landslide has taken out several homes on the edge of Astonea]

You try to settle down and live a quiet life and then shit like this happens...

Astonea's in big trouble and this is Pakerion so of course everyone's just running around like a bunch of headless fucking chickens instead of trying to organize something useful, like, oh, a fucking evacuation.

Pretty sure the eggheads down here are saying we only have a few hours to get everyone out before the whole town's fucked.

And our warp mage already fucked off. Asshole.

So, you know, if anybody out there feels like helping, now's a good time.

[Event post is here!]

[All the GLs.]

GUESS WHO HAS TWO THUMBS AND FOUND OUT ONE OF HER OFFICERS WAS SELLING CRYSTAL METH FROM THE ARMORY

THIS GIRL!!

[Sunday, before Lisa gets herself in trouble!]

Victor told me what happened on Friday. I know I wasn't there there, but I wanted to check in and make sure everything ended well with you and Nova. He did used to be one of mine, even if he didn't stick around.

And thanks for keeping an eye on Victor during the war.

HELP

I IGNORED OBVIOUS FORESHADOWING FROM MURDEROUS INTERNET MEN AND THEY FIRED A CROSSBOW AT ME

IN CAESAR'S PALACE

PLZ DISREGARD IF YOU ARE MURDEROUS INTERNET MAN

[this one, apparently, the whole world had to know

posted from her personal account (Jupiter Bands)]

Noooo, I'm still stupid!

And I'm a BOY.

I learned why dragons don't take mail over the ocean.

( [Size cut] )

I had to settle more than one dispute today concerning who is the real winner of a fight that takes place in exchanged bodies.

Can someone please explain what's going on?

[Email: Duncan, Ezra, Gabriel, Harriet, Lera]

The druids selected a new Vohu. He can get the ritual done this afternoon.

This is an official request for healers to those who can spare any. I still have wounded from the battle: berserkers and hunters, mostly. I know we're all short on resources and manpower right now. If getting more time would allow help, I'll reschedule.

[The account is "hrhprincebaldwin," which Kendrick made for him.]

Greetings and salutations, people of Everea!

I am pleased to announce that I have returned from the place I was spirited away to after that dastard Aerveas invaded our lands. I am sorry that I could not defend our great city myself, but I am grateful to our allies!

I did, however, SINGLEHANDEDLY defeat Aerveas's armor of SUPER-WARHOUNDS and then the revived MECHA-AERVEAS. And I beat up like fifty thousand of his soldiers too!

[backdate apologies!]

There's a storm wrecking havoc on the southern coast of Pakerion, just east of the Borderline.

It's traveling northward.

I'm taking some of the guild back. We're going to build what fortifications we can before tomorrow evening.

[posted Tuesday night, after the official public in-person announcement of his inheritance of the Vahishta's title]

[username: Vaheimshta]

[status: very drunk]

[conclusion: best idea]

Fuck yeah, new Vahishta bitches!
