PAXLAIR CITY, LOST LANDS, AND PAXOKU - August 16, 2007

This report is provided pending a more detailed news article being written. Images in sequence of the action are contained within, currently without comment.

Tonight, Thursday, August 16th, Walt the Chemist's report on water tests aided in the people's decisions to press forward with a plan. Mayor Ga'kuct of PaxLair City was extremely skeptical about the plan, seeing it as an "ebil" plan. The Mayor is keeping a close eye on the level of water in the Spring of Courage; he will be very upset if the water level goes down as people take water from the Stream of Courage.

A group of adventurers did manage to find an outflow from the Stream of Courage and obtain water from the Spring of Courage.

The adventurers then anointed paladins Nanoc and Phoenix as diplomats from Dragons Watch for entry into PaxOku. The PaxOku Well of Souls did not react to their passive presence.

The adventurers placed water barrels of Spring of Courage water around the Well in PaxOku, but did not pour any water into the Well.

Much occurred at the Well and about 12 people gathered. Screams were heard from Paladin souls from inside the Well. Daine, who was turned to human after entering and returning from the Well a few nights ago, also came to offer her sensations and memories about the Well.

The Gatekeeper was present for some time, and Valtos the Void [an evil questmaster] also appeared for a brief moment.

Earlier in PaxLair City, Sebrina of Moonglow encouraged all to help bring water from the Fountain of Truth in Moonglow; the water will help nourish the citizens of PaxOku. People are needed to fill barrels of water and ship them to PaxOku.

The adventurers also thought that waters of the Fountain of Truth may have special powers of some kind, just like waters from the Spring of Courage. The alchemist will be called in again to test waters from the Fountain of Truth.

There was even talk about water of Love, if such a Spring or Fountain exists. Perhaps it is "lava" of Love; people currently just speculate.

From the "good" point of view, the next steps dealing with PaxOku's Well of Souls are not yet totally clear, and many options are being proposed. A major step will likely be to retrieve lost souls from within the Well that may not rightly belong there.
