On Monday, February 2nd, citizens from around Sosaria answered the call of Governor Tehan of Yew. It seemed that Orcish Chief Crak'Trizh had made another threat on the city of Yew:



The volunteers assembled in front of the Empath Abbey and proceeded to the Yew prison to interrogate Orcish prisoners about Crak'Trizh... where they discovered that the prisoners had been transferred to Governor Tehan's personal office in Dragon's Watch.

After expelling an aggressive interloper who may or may not have been allied with Crak'Trizh, they they discovered that the governor had performed various forms of torture upon the prisoners in an effort to extract information... and only one remained alive.



Orcish prisoner Kipu refused to speak with Governor Tehan in the room, but when he grudgingly left, someone handed him a banana that he requested and he became a bit more forthcoming. He indicated that Crak'Trizh hadn't just targeted Yew--he'd left a surprise for EVERY city governor. A quick search of the governors' offices yielded a number of bombs! Each one had a letter incripted on it... and when all the bombs were gathered, it was clear that they spelled the word "justice".

While there was speculation that this was some form of Orcish justice, some recalled that the last place Crak'Trizh was seen was near Justice Falls. The group followed Governor Tehan to a ship he had parked near there, and they shortly discovered what had to be Crak'Trizh's hideout.



The door was barricaded, but the barricade was no match for the ship's powerful cannon. The group entered the hideout and had to destroy another barricade with explosion potions. They'd almost reached Crak'Trizh... but he pulled up the rope ladder before they could get to him on the top floor. He ran into a death vortex within a blood pentagam and disappeared momentarily... and returned as a daemon!

He ran outside and summoned an ally to aid him--a harbinger. He then escaped in the confusion that followed. The group triumphed over the creature, but Crak'Trizh remains at large.

Many unanswered questions remain after the events that unfolded. What is Crak'Trizh up to? How did he get the power to transform into a daemon and summon such unholy allies? What more does Kipu know... and will he live long enough to tell it? We'll have to wait until next time to find out!
