Games competed! I'll do a full write-up tomorrow, but for now I'm just too exhausted. 11+ hours of eventing will do that!

One question: If I leave the obstacle course up overnight, will people practice on it or will I come back to find it covered in campfires and burning?

The Ynnwn Games are being held once again in the area surrounding the Hydlaa Arena! Come and test your strength, agility, and endurance with the following games:

Weightlifting:




The Anvil Lift:




The Hurdles:





The Obstacle Course:





And of course Food and Drink to keep the contestants fit for the competition.


{Events first starts at 5 PM GMT as on the calendar, then repeats 4 and 8 hours later. Compete at one time or all three if you like.}

The citizens of Hydlaa helped a traveler find a missing baby drifter and helped them on their way to the Winch.

The citizens of Hydlaa (and surrounding area) were able to help a young Stonehammer woman deal with a health issue she couldn't describe.




And here she is, back home again.

Aachey 28/12/2016 08:00 UTC  - Disturbance in the Plaza.
Witnesses a small group including several people with weapons drawn in front of Harnquist's forge.  Two individual, Kisoji Valsha and Ravynne Stoush had their weapons drawn but sheated them immediately upon my order to do so.  A third person, name unknown, had a smith's hammer in hand but did not seem to intend to use it as a weapon. Appears to be an arguement escalating into violence. During the conversation it was reported that Kisoji had boasted of killing someone earlier that day by biting her throat with his teeth. He claimed it was a boast until the person in question showed up and confirmed the story. Said victim - Voxeon - claimed she didn't want to file charges. Apparently the assault came after she cam up and kissed him without warning in the Arena. Given that he could have taken that as an attack in a place where he could have reasonably expected to be attacked, and that the victim had to desire to file charges, I felt I had no choice but to let everyone go. This Kisoji continues to be a troublemaker though, and needs to be watched.

As this location is the scene of many violent crimes in recent months, I would suggest that Harnquist's Forge be designated a 'troubled location' and be subject to increased scrutiny.

Report of Magical Assault, within Hydlaa city walls

  While on patrol Lieutenant Biddle Harge was approached by a citizen, -name withheld- [Jilerel] reporting an assault near the Red Crystal Den.  Upon arrival Lieutenant Harge found several indiviuals enclosed in walls of summoned stone. After restoring calm, Lieutenat Biddle was able to identify the perpetrator as one "Mahkana". According to the witnesses, the suspect assaulted the primary victim -name withheld- [Lyrelora] with an enchanted coin of some kind. Witnesses also claimed this was an attempt to possess her.  Lieutenant Harge arrested the suspect and escorted him to the jail. Several witnesses accompanied them -names withheld- accompanied them and gave their statements at that time. 

  Shortly thereafter, another witness -name withheld- [Evirea] with prior knowledge arrived to give testimony about the effects of the attack on the victim and provide additional knowledge about the suspect.  According to this witness the suspect is using some form of old magic to take the life energies of his victims and feed it to some type of entity.  Possibly delusional beliefs. Possible previous victims.  Effects on current victim include rapid aging, weakness, loss of hair and teeth.  Condition deteriorating, but under intensive care in an undisclosed location.  Suspect also implicated in other, earlier attack of a more mundane nature. Charges on those pending or under consideration.

Evidence Analysis

  The expert mentioned in the second paragraph of the first report [Evirea] returned to examine a journal found in the possession of the suspect.  Captain Sein, Lieutenant Harge, and myself were all present.  The expert's findings were that the suspect was part of a long line of people who have been doing what was done to the primary victim for either decades or generation. Possibly a family tradition. The surname "Ruuka" was mentioned, but apparently they call themselves "The Faceless." Delusions of grandeur suspected.  Energy stolen intended to free a soul/entity trapped in the Dark Crystal and eventually place it in a new body. Initial attack is primarily of the Dark Way, but evidently both Azure and Blue Ways also factor in.  Journal returned to evidence.
