02/11/01 More News About the Green Snake Tribe

Lord Breti gated us to the dungeon and we gathered our force. We moved into the the upper floor and met little resistence from the lizardmen. The few lizard men that we found were quickly dispatched.

We roamed around the floor and found few more lizardmen so we went to the lower level. We battled a few ettins then made our way upstairs once more. This time the lizardmen had regrouped in force but we fought hard and had little trouble vanquishing our foes.

We moved around and and ran smack dab into the lizardmen's camp. A fierce battle ensued as the scores of lizardmen came to the cry of their kin. We fought hard and suffered a large amount of damage but none of our company fell. The battleground quickly became littered with the bodies of lizardmen and less of the kin came to aid of the attacking group. The last few lizardmen broke and ran and we took that time to rest and heal.

We then tracked down the last few kin and sent them to the afterlife. After this we were gated to the Halfling were we par took in food and drink. A somber mood hung over the victory celebration because of the fact that the tribesmen were not found. We continue to stand ready when they are found to fight for the cause of good and free these oppressed friends.

02/11/01 Hunt with the Green Snake Tribe

A few days ago we were contacted by Ughdar, the Chieftan of the Green Snake Tribe and an old friend of ours from Felucca. It seems his tribe's home in the swamps south of Destard was recently invaded by huge numbers of lizardmen and ratmen. Ughdar was seeking help in retaking his home and freeing his tribesmen. He asked people to gather in Trinsic at 5pm eastern time and they would form a plan of attack.

Unfortunately, I missed the initial meeting. After sending out a few pigeons to my guildmates, I learned that they were hunting in Despise. I soon joined them there. Breti explained to me that our task was to attack the lizardmen at their home base, in hopes of stopping the flow of the scaly beasts into the swamps.

The hunting group included Breti, Grunwald, Ka'alazar, Wulfgar and myself from KOS; Aldair and Belorn of the Wandering Vagrants; Garrett Granth of the Guardians of Lore; Thomlinson; Thorin of Yew; and Gib'gukari of the Green Snake Tribe. We hunted in Despise for some time, and killed all the lizardmen in sight. They were no match for us!

Then Ughdar called for all of us to meet at the Hungry Halfling Tavern. We shared some ale and relaxed a bit after the day's efforts. Ughdar thanked us before heading back to the work of rebuilding his home, "GABLAH AND DANKS!"

01/23/01 Guild Meeting

Wolf held a guild meeting in IRC. After the meeting, we gathered in front of the guild tower.

Wolf asked the Squires to line up in front of him. Aerindell, Grunwald, and Jan lined up obediently. Then Wolf began speaking:

"The Knights of Sosaria is a guild of friends. Friends who help each other and help all those of all the realms of Sosaria. Do you pledge to uphold the rules and tenets of the KOS, and live the virtues to the best of your abilities?"
Each Squire answered affirmatively. Then Wolf continued:

"It is my pleasure to welcome you into the brotherhood of the Knights of Sosaria! Congratulations!"
We clapped and cheered, congratulating the new Guardsmen and women on their acceptance as full members of the guild.

A few minutes later, Mia Trano was also promoted to Guardswoman.

After the promotions, we went upstairs to see the new library Wolf had been working on with Annunzio of the Guardians of Lore.

Congratulations again to Aerindell, Grunwald, Jan, and Mia! We are pleased to welcome you into our family.

01/19/01 Guild Hunt with Clan Moor

After a lull in activity due to the holidays, it was good to meet up with a bunch of guildmates again and head to a dungeon.

On this night, we met up with a number of adventurers from Clan Moor and ventured together to the swamp area underneath the Terathan Dungeon.

Wolf, Twayn, Wilavid, Mia, Grunwald, Aerindell and I were there. Several of us were slain in the course of battle, but then we were up against balrons, terathan avengers, dragons, and a few other things. We were quickly res'd as our group contained many skilled warriors, healers and mages. We each got some gold from the hunt and had fun!
