The group, a short intro and history, and onto Ilyria

Having served hard time for our indiscretions, Elvis the Swordsman, Christopher Skywalken the Jedi, and myself, Quinua the Witch Doctor decided to band together to adventure strange places on the Lost Continent.

We began exploring in the mystical and endless caverns beneath Pentastadion, in hopes of proving the rumours of great treasures to be true. After fighting some loathsome creatures, finding mysterious items, and meeting a few interesting characters, we crossed paths with the famous treasure hunter named Claus.

He planned to travel to the fishing village of Ilyria with his hired group of workers to seek out ancient Thracian treasures rumoured to exist in the cave complex in the hills nearby. We went along with them in hopes of finding and looting the shiznitz out of those caves.

After arriving in Ilyria, the caves were quite easy to locate. We explored different areas of the cave complex, fought some GOAT-men and hyena-men, and found some magical items. A few were Thracian relics that Claus seemed to get excited about. We decided to visit a large house/palace that was being built on the side of the hill near the caves. We met a very hospitable foreign gentleman by the name of Lord Alexey Romanov. He sold us a gem that Christopher needed to complete the fabrication of his light saber. Money seems to be of little concern for him, so we want to party with this guy!

Also on the far side of town, atop a hill, is a large monastery. The monks inside have been very helpful in explaining some history of the Thracians and their items as well as having a spell or two handy when we need.

We're currently exploring a cave complex in which the beasts we kill eventually come back to life. Claus mentioned of a very powerful artifact called the Death's Head - a jewel that's the size of a skull. According to the purple monks in the monastery, this item was created by Thracian necromancers. It's able to control death itself. We're in the process of trying to locate this massive gem as it may be important to keep it from the wrong type of people.

The gang before the minotaur battle.

During our latest adventure, we were investigating an area of the cave where earlier, we found a strange note addressed to Morgellon (an ancient Thracian prince according to the monks) from his friend Telekis (a novice necromancer). The note mentioned of dramatic events that will allow them a chance to reach the "chamber of pleasures below" without being caught. It also mentions for Morgellon to take a chime of opening to the entrance of the Halls of Darkness. While revisiting the area of the cave where we found this note, a tough battle ensued with multiple GOAT-men and one huge minotaur. Sadly, two of our comrades fell in battle, but we were able to escape with our lives. That battle is NOT over!
