MT SHO, ISAMU-JIMA, TOKUNO - August 12, 2006

Lord Mad Jack bravely entered the firey Mt. Sho Volcano in Tokuno and found Joachim the Artificer near the lava flow.  It is clear Joachim makes artifacts of some kind and receives materials from people passing through.  Upon receiving some materials from Mad Jack, Joachim revealed information regarding a special artifact that may have an impact on the current wars with the Ophidians.

Gareth also arrived and gave Joachim several items, some that interested Joachim.

There seems to be a connection between Joachim and the Britannian Ambassador.  As people talk to both, more can be revealed.

The small group then headed to Lord British's Castle in Britain and talked to the Ambassador.  The Ambassador carried on some light conversation with the people, then talked more about his diplomatic duties and his troubles.

The Ambassador arrived a few days ago in Britain apparently in an effort to stave off a war with the Ophidians.
