The Timeless Vinry
Chamber of Magic, Tir Na Nog

I received directive from the Shining Thron, relayed through Master Ernston. Offer assistance to Master Iacobus at the Ghostly Town, at present our furthest advance. Stopping then at the edge of this secreted town, formed out of the retreating mist, I inquired of Iacobus why he needed services of this Ranger. Iacobus spoke of a missing ranger, requesting my assistance to locate. A ranger sent into town to catch a glimpse of what lies ahead, to report to Nara Manastrong with findings. I will do, baring any trickery from the forces behind this phantom mist. Without hesitation I agree, of importance to our realm, requiring bravery and stealth. I am a logical choice, the only choice present.

Barely was I finished examining the outlaying village from a distance when I spotted this ranger, huddled east, south and east again of the ghostly town. With pause, a town reminiscent of our Ardagh. I am no green ranger making untoward comparisons; Ardagh is the village of my youth. This place has been ripped from my dreams, my memories, yet implanted here with spirits wandering among dangers unknown. The missing ranger warned me, grabbing my arm, the spirits know we are here. Even so he begs that I then speak with the tormented souls. I address his injuries as best I can, making note to send for assistance as I may.

After further inspection of their wandering route, I approach the closest spirit, tormented soul. Vinry, from this soul I was told chilling tale here of imprisonment and servitude to Queen Cliodna. This soul spoke candidly of a portal keeper near, holding key to open to the living worlds, simply awaiting the ancient Queen's command to open. The spirit was sincere. Other spirits voice this same story. With story of one voice, I returned then in haste to Nara Manastrong.

In counsel we discussed this rumor, these threats. A trap, possibly, likely, but not one we could ignore given the strategic significance of this unknown force gaining entry to the realm of Hibernia proper. In total concurrence with Manastrong, I gathered those nearby, haste here being of more importance than numbers. We then ventured back into the ghostly town of Ardagh to find and defeat the Portal Keeper, and above all to retrieve and secure this key.

At entrance to this town I stop our group. If ambush, make escape total priority. We will regroup with more numbers, but some must make back to the Thron to tell this tale of woe. First regroup at Iacobus location, if compromised secondary regroup at Barissa. I glace around at these conscripts, seeing recognition and shock on some faces, they too know of Ardagh, they also see the resemblance, fear for safety of loved ones back home.

They advance then in formation behind me. Covering all points of danger, avoiding funnel and likely ambush, we clear this town, making way through weak and wandering spirits. Soon it is visible, a portal keeper, without sound then we attack in force. A sudden transformation, this now large wraith calls for help, responded to by Siabra Spellshapers from shelter uncleared. A moment only to assess this ambush. Of weak quality it is, not fully formed. We are not surrounded, withdrawal yet possible. We stay! I yell. None had fled, I note this now and thank the Thron for these battle ready folk. Focusing on Spellshapers, our forces appear able to overcome. After a quick battle, a foe easily overcome, I search through belongings of this keeper. So the rumors may be true, a glowing key remains. With caution I did not touch it, wrapping it instead in elven leave of ancient tree of life.

Upon return to Nara, we agreed, I would with all haste be transported back to our natural realm to present you with this unnatural key. Any power of unknown artifact substantially warded, this key presented to you with letter. I implore you to find its purpose and make.

The enemies we have faced have been increasingly weak of late; experience dictates these false victories are but precursors. Examine then even this key with utmost caution.

Responding Letter

From the hand of the Shining Thron
Seneschal Desmond

Ranger,

Travel instantly back to Master Iacobus and our forward position. He is to distribute belts of otherworldly make he has fashioned for our next campaign. They will assist greatly in our forward progress though full understanding of these magics is not yet explored (we are told).

Stay and await further reinforcements; we make our strong push upon any information delved by Vinry. I too fear our false progress soon to be met by forces unobserved. May the light be with you.
