UP: Napa Valley
Many of the hard working magicians and alchemists that tend to the
old shop, located southwest of Trinsic and nestled within a valley, were slain in a most
brutal manner by what seemed to be a group of ogre magi.
I have learned from a mage at the shop, Lyndon, who had survived the
attack that these beasts were far from the normal. Lyndon was able to hide himself from
the initial attack and was witness to the horrors that insued. Twas
horrible... The beasts butchered the bodies of mine friends, and stowed them for their
bloody ritual. He then went on to describe a sort of chanting, rythmical grunting to
be exact, he then heard after the ogres left for the basement of the shop.They remained
down there for some time, until the people began to arrive.
Too terrified to move from his hiding, Lyndon was able to contact a
friend by magical means, and tell her of the dangers. Seer Kelley, with haste, immidietly
set out for Trinsic and attempted to rally fit warriors to deal with this infestation.
Word reached the town criers and soon warriors rushed by the dozens twords the valley, in
hopes of eradicating these foul beings.
Through much fighting, and unfortuanatly much death, the beasts
seemed to be vanquished and no longer a threat. A final attack by the sum of the warriors
was all that was needed to finally end their existance. The criers were informed and
bellowed cries of victory as warriors gathered themselves after the battle, and Lyndon
gathered what was left of his shop.
Where these ogre magi originated, and if there are anymore, can only
be speculated upon. Perhaps they are merely a product of power in the wrong hands, or
something more sinister such as creations of magics most foul. Perhaps we shall learn in
time.
