Lorick's Journa


5th day of Eleint, 1729
The Forest of Wyrms is a good source of ,Gulthias Wood, and I have returned with an barely adequate supply. I had noticed odd growths in the Forest of Wyrms. Flies and maggots were overly abundant in the rotted undergrowth of the forest. And there were strange markings upon a number of rocks and trees. I chose to return early. I have not lived to be 443 years because I am reckless.
I am going to a few of my clockwork mice to investigate for me.

10th day of Eleint, 1729
The clockwork mice have not reported back. I am going to go myself. I am still in need of Gulthias wood. I will take my huntsman with me.

14th day of Eleint, 1729
Call me a Took for worrying. Yes, there were a few demons there, but they were small foul creatures, easily dismissed by my huntsman’s axe. I have captured a few, minor demons with the aid of my huntsman. I am curious to find if they can be useful.
But after seeing, a rather large dragon, soar across the treetops, followed by a hoard of hobgoblins and demons on the ground not far from me.
Baervan or Flandal was with me, for the foul pack did not notice me.
I and my huntsman returned quickly but quietly



14th day of Eleint, 1729
What I had seen the forest has been puzzling me. Why had such an odd collection of creatures be following a dragon. Dragons do attract lesser creatures who worship them and do their bidding, especially given the nature of the Forest Of Wyrms, but to have demons subjugated to such a creature is unheard of.
Clearly the markings I have seen refer to some sort of dragon or dragon god.
Is it my imagination or did I see a demon with just such a marking on its chest.
Here is my best remembrance of it.
I am fortunate that they did not see me or see me leave, otherwise I would not feel safe, even here in my home.
