A Rocky Friend - The Best Friend for A Finger WigglerInformation GatheringZoey recently acquired her best friend forever. Visiting the dwarves she got her hands on her personal pet and good hear to her issues, her pet rock. A pet rock for those that know of.. share quite a few similarities with the classic "rubber duck", always there for you in the most difficult of times. Though Zoey even after drawing a smiley over her rock to give it a bit more personality still wasn't satisfied of her pet and wished she could make her pet rock.. well.. a better rock. During a few weeks she explained to a few she wanted to make this happen until eventually she visited some mines where she was able to retrieve something that could likely help her achieve her goal. After some discussion with some folks, gathering everyone's opinion, she finally encountered Samuel. A somewhat "expert" of elementals and follower of the Morninglord. An extensive conversation came from their acquaintance which could be summarized with these few points: - Earth elementals are not talkative - They don't like to be disturbed - They don't like to be moved around - They feed from the energy present in the earth and caves or the likes - Some can become sentient after amassing enough energy, which often is the case of very old elementals - They have two "emotions", either they are calm and passive or they are violent and extremely angry. It was concluded with Samuel that it would be achievable for her to have her rock be a better rock by doing the following: Find a shrine to any Earth related deity, close to it dig a hole a few feet deep and burrow the rock with the elemental's heart next to it. The divine energy from the shrine and the suited environment would fuse the rock and elemental becoming one. The process would take two to three tendays to fully complete after which she could go back and retrieve her pet. Feeding the elemental is important for the development of it and its happiness. Visiting cave every so often for it to "eat" from the energy in them should be enough, but acquiring energy directly from the plane would be more efficient and perhaps more nutritious to it. Further informations would be discovered and given to her once she has the evolved pet rock in possession. Execution - A Friend Ready to be BuriedOn the 3rd of Uktar, Zoey and her friends went down some mineshafts in which they encountered a shrine to the Earthlord.
Seeing the opportunity, she took out her shovel and started digging close to the shrine a small hole a few feet deep.
Her friends questioning whatever she was doing stood there observing her doing.
A moment later the hole was done, and Zoey placed her trusty pet rock and the elemental heart in it.
She covered the hole back again with the dirt, rock and gravel making it seamless like if noting happened.. or at least to her eyes it looked perfect.
She took note of the day and asked her friends to be available in few tendays to retrieve her friend.
They completed they exploration of the mineshaft and on the way out she took note of the day in her journal.

A Strange Contraption The First Encounter - Wait Did it Zap Me? During a walk with her dragoness friend, Zoey walked into an old tower lost in the depth of the forest.
Initially seeking answers on a different matter, she stepped upon the strange contraption.
From a distant glance, it looked like an enormous obelisk with lightning circling around it.
A few steps closer and her dragon friend saw a lightning bolt fly from the obelisk right her! ZAP!
Then Zoey's turn, another bolt launches from the obelisk toward her! ZAP!
Both took a few.. even a couple steps back, away from the strange string shocking them violently.
Zoey threw a diamond near it to see it the lightning would get attracted.. and ZAP! Lightning would start bouncing from the gem laying on the ground.
It stopped for a few seconds before more lightnings surged from the obelisk toward the gem.
Taking the risk of getting electrocuted again, Zoey attempted to recover the diamond during a "pause", with no success.. ZAP!
The lightning bolts bounced from the diamond toward her as she approached, she quickly took hold of the diamond and ran further away.. electrified.
She slipped the diamond away in a separate pouch for later study in case the contraption alter the diamond in anyway.
After some recovery time, Zoey attempted a Detect Magic over the obelisk which revealed a strong aura coming from it. Something of power similar to 6th circle magic she would know.
The pair walked away with little injuries that were tended to in time.
Zoey took note of the events and anything that could've occurred during their encounter in her journal for later study.

A Letter to a Fellow Researcher - A Visit to Alakabooms A few thoughts later, Zoey thought it might be a good idea to find partners to investigate the strangeness of the contraption.
She spread the word around a few about the find, most found it interesting, but none actually showed any interest in the thing as of now.
Some still mentioned that a few could be interest into looking at the obelisk if they had some time to spare. Some also mentioned that perhaps gnomes might be interested into have a look at it, which reminded Zoey that she met a few gnomes during her shopping times.
Some gnomes in Thunderstone or even Eveningstar could perhaps show interest if approached about "a strange contraption who throws lightning in abundance, a source of power".
Zoey wrote a letter and decided to seek help from the gnome in Alakabooms first.
She delivered the letter while accompanied by Tanya. |

The letter would say the following:
" Dear Jan,
I've recently discovered an unlimited source of power well hidden in the depth of the Mistwood, which I believe could likely interest you after seeing some of the things you have been researching on.
After some of my own investigation, I could conclude that the obelisk could be a potential source of energy, from which someone like yourself could use to power many things.
From my evaluation the power projected from the obelisk is equivalent to 6th circle in strength and could easily send lightning at anything fairly close to it and doesn't seem to deplete itself from them.
Sadly, I had to leave before I could attempt anything else,
But I extend an invitation, to you and anyone you see fit, to work on this project with me.
Regards,
*signed ~Zoey, The Simple Finger Wiggler~* "

The Adventurer's LongwordThe PurchaseA few days ago, Zoey purchased a new sword from Cornigan, a bladesmith in Suzail.
He has a few weapons of above average craftsmanship and doing business with him as been more than pleasant.
She acquired an adventurer's longsword with lightning enchantment infused into it.
The sword was rather expensive even for Zoey who is doing well with haggling with most merchants in general.
It is a good replacement for her previous sword which in comparison is even in efficiency, but would still serve her better.
Without hesitation, but still after a bit of haggling, she set a few large pouches of coins on the counter while Cornigan went in the back to grab a similar sword.
It wouldn't be Zoey's last visit and trade with the bladesmith if his inventory keeps its appeal over time. |
|
The InspectionAfter giving the sword a try against a large amount of orcs and undead, Zoey got intrigued by the origin of it.
Zoey being able to enchant her own pieces of gear and having some knowledge in enchantment, was mostly curious about.. how her sword would be infused with lightning.
After some observation she could conclude that the sword lightnings origin wasn't something she would be able to reproduce or recognize even.
The blade itself was really well made, and from closer inspection some runes were etched into the metal of the blade, which were more than likely the source of the magic running through it.
Zoey being a little bit familiar with draconic was able to see some resemblance with it.. but not quite the thing.
The sword appeared used and slightly damaged by its use, some of the runes seems to be scuffed. The handle lightly worn, but restored with new leather straps. The blade was sharpened giving it a new edge to cut with.
Only the blade's scabbard would be able to contain the lightning, otherwise they would keep circling and shocking anything coming close in touch with the blade. |
|
Everything Has a Story Zoey and her friend decided to give a try to a Legend Lore spell upon the sword, to see if the sword had any history behind it.
They moved further away from the city. In case anything would happen, the city wouldn't be damaged by their experiment.
They hid themselves under the river, near Roar, in a small room that would seem appropriate.
Zoey laid down the sword on the cavern's floor, took a few steps back, then started casting the Legend Lore upon it.
As soon as the magic reached the sword, a loud thunder echoed through the cavern.
A sudden name came to Zoey.. Castiel Roux.. the name was familiar.. like when a word is on the tip of your tongue. Then a wave of heat and dryness blew over her.. desert like.
Zoey carefully picked up her sword and sheathed it before heading out. Both walked to the nearest guard and asked if they heard the thunder as well.
The guard replied not only he heard the thunder, but he saw the lightning! The lightning struck in the water above them, likely trying to reach the sword.
After some observations they couldn't see remains of the lightning, but the thunder was enough proof of it striking.
Zoey took the time to write down all the events in her journal, before she waved and walked back to Gaunt, leaving her friend to her business in Roar.
Zoey could still feel the heat for a few days after the event, until it was completely gone.

Zoey's Return
Her return into the Forest Kingdom
Zoey's journey to the outer lands of Cormyr are now being as she now steps back into the Forest Kingdom.
Some strange things seem to have happened to her while she was away for who knows what reason. Zoey has been
wandering around for sometime before she finally encountered some familiar face, but to their disappointment.. Indeed,
as she was meeting old friends from her time, she didn't seem to remember them..
Being disoriented from the country as if she never stepped on it, she walks again on Cormyr with the same idea of a newcomer.
Unaware of what she lived, who are her friends, who are her foes, who to trust and who not to, she only hopes to be a great Wizard again!
Zoey's Condition
Zoey could be seen in the recent days coming out of the inn confused at first, but would settle down near a brazier to warm herself and meet people
coming through the town of Greatgaunt. Some would have seen her already a few time, but sadly for them, she wouldn't remember their encounter.
Every day is a new start, new memories, new relations and a little step forward before starting again.
A few took the time with her to see if they could find quickly find the source of her condition. No visible signs of injuries, nothing a dispel, nor a remove curse,
nor a restoration was able to fix sadly. For Zoey, her current state is only a trouble once she is reminded of it.. Those who remember are more in pain than she is
from a day to another. All her troubles are gone as she wakes up the next day, only her physical state stays.
Wounds are painful, but they are not if you forget about them.
As of now, Zoey can be compared to a simple commoner walking around town. Her prowess of the pass are now locked behind and she cannot have access to them.
Her time as a great and powerful wizard and a great fighter are now on hold as long as her condition remains. Those who knew her, shouldn't expect from her the
same as she simply forgot to be the adventurer she was.
Same goes for belongings, most of which she has the body and "instinct" to use naturally now, but not to be expected that she makes the best use of it. As some have
seen, swinging a sword properly requires more than simply lifting it from the ground and striking forward.
Her tomes are still filled with the knowledge they used to and her personal grimoire in which is held a plentiful of spells still remains dormant for now.
The most valuable thing she possesses for now is her journal, in which she noted her journey among the people of Cormyr, her various adventures, her experiments and
so on. She added a few notes to it as some requested her to do so to help her remind what happened to her. If only she could remember she had that done the next day.
A step moving forward
Some kind people, friends and new friends of Zoey are trying to solve the mystery. A few people are now involved and taking care of her until the condition is hopefully lifted.
As mentioned before, some already attempted to fix her with healing and other tricks without success. Today, as of the 11th of Ches, it has been the fourth day since her official return
in the lands. She was seen once again after another attempt to understand her case, walking out of the inn clueless of yesterday. An elf help her answer her questions and explained the
situation. After which she gave her a letter to help her situate herself in case tomorrow is once again a new start for Zoey.
The letter ends on some directions which is suggested to her to take, to move forward and hope for the best. The letter state to seek for the clergy of Selûne, which one can be found in
the city of Immersea. After thanking her friend for her help, she bought a few meals at the inn and took the first caravan available. After sometime she eventually made it to Immersea.
With this starts a path to recover from the unknown.
More to come . . .
A huge thanks to all involved into this ark and welcome back Zoey to Cormyr!
