GLRP E&H Inu the Crone: Inu Quest Log
Title: Inu Quest Log 1
Author: Xevei
So there I was, walking around unsure what to do that day. By chance I came across Sebastian's little house in the Castle courtyard.
I saw some books laying on his steps, intrigued, I gave them a closer look. One book proclaimed "Find Inu!" I decided to read what was contained inside. Turns out that Inu had been up to some mischief and was out causing some trouble.
The book suggested a starting point at Inu's home in the desert of Zento.
Sensing a long journey ahead of me, I quickly returned to the Britain Bank and organized my pack for a potentially long and troublesome trip. Little did I know! Traveling via moongate, I arrived at Zento and immediately set out to find Inu's house. After a brief search, I came upon her house. On the second floor, apparently forgotten was Inu's Diary. Reading the book revealed some clues, and why Inu was so angry. She was off to see Solomon to find out her fortune. I was stumped. Fortune tellers? Then I had a bright flash of inspiration! There were gypsy camps in Ilshenar that had fortune tellers. Off to Ilshenar I went, starting with Compassion Gate because it was the very first gate.
After a bit of searching, I found Solomon.
After a bit of small talk, I got down to the point, asking about Inu.
Solomon was more than happy to share what he knew... Which apparently wasn't much. I began to suspect he was holding something back, so I started asking about some specific things (Ie: why Inu was angry, and why Sebastian needed to find her, and what Inu was looking for) At this point, some other seekers arrived. I greeted them and after discussing, we agreed to join up and form a party. The notable names were: Lady Shalamar, Lady Morgana (Those two would end up sticking with me for the entire journey.) There were other fine folks who came and went for parts of the journey also. After some prodding, Solomon admitted that yes, they went on a hunt to a valley shaped like a serpent and got something. Inu then apparently left to do a painting in a pass somewhere. "Painting? Are you sure?!" I was thunderstruck that Inu would take time to do a painting.
After making my report to Sebastian, I consulted an old map-maker friend of mine asking if he knew of any passes. he indicated several, but the most likeliest one was probably the Pass of Karnaugh in Ilshenar also. Armed with this information, the party sallied forth and travelled to the pass. The trip was fraught with much danger, some very nasty and heinous monsters attacked us on way. Several of our party members fell valiantly fighting them off. After a period of time, we finally reached the vast old decaying fort in the middle of the Pass. I used my invisibility spell frequently to avoid detection of the denizens inside.
Wandering around for what seemed an age, we finally discovered a room with some canvas frames on easels. We thought we were close! There was nobody around. Then we noticed a chest lying next to a wall. Curiosity got better of us, we opened the chest... To find 3 mysterious objects inside. One of the party touched one of the objects and disappeared!
We were taken aback. We decidd we needed to be careful. I touched the seashell and was transported to a beautiful quiet beach. Eventually the others showed up at the beach.
There was a lonely pirate inhabiting the beach. We went up to him and introduced ourselves. Alas the poor pirate seemed to heartbroken to be much help to us. Apparently Inu was here and the pirate fell in love with her. After consoling the pirate and inquiring whether Inu came here for anything we discovered that yes, Inu had Seamus (the pirate's name)
