Obsidian has since had encounters with many of the others at the tavern, awaiting departure of the Tempest Brothers Expeditionary Company to travel into the wicked wilds.

			Obsidian helped with the establishment of the base camp on the journey into the wilds. He was part of the party led by Lucinda, and the party was given a charm to guide them. This is the story of their experiences as he tells it:

			"When we started off from the skiff, we were told there may be leftover guard towers in the forest from Perseus company, but we didn't expect to find the camps in the state we did. At the first tower, we found a massacre. Everyone was dead, there were heads on pikes, and a map showed every tower but the one we were at crossed out. In the basement, someone had been locked inside. It looked like they had been there for weeks, which would have been prior to the attack on the tower. The mouth, nose, and ears were stuffed full of black feathers, but it looked more like the feathers were coming from inside the body. They weren't from any bird I know of, either. On the wall, this was written: 'I am the flames that scorch the garden of rot, I am the wave that erodes the mountain of skulls, I am the quake that will shatter the labyrinth of lies, I am the storm that rends the palace of perfection, I am Malice.'

			"That night at camp, the ones who took watch experienced very strange events. Amaris saw the trees move closer, Chrysaor looked up into sky where trees should have been and it gave him vertigo, and in the morning, the monkey we had befriended the day before was found skewered on a tree well above us where he had been watching for us. Amaris said it seemed like it might be what she called 'the game,' like a higher being is just toying with us.

			"We continued onward to the main camp the next morning. The scene there was even worse. Again, everyone we saw was dead, many inside what appeared to be a medical tent. There was a body which was coated in maggots and worms in the same manner as the feathered body. And this is also where we found the new shopkeeper, Dulio, hiding under a tarp with his drake. How he survived the massacre without being found, I do not know, but the scene was gruesome. Dulio gave us each our choice of his wares in exchange for being directed here, to our base camp.

			"One of the other buildings appeared to be an office. Papers were torn, some burned, others missing, but we gathered up what we could. It was there that we found the wanted poster for Reedy, as well as the rest of these pages." At this point in his tale, he hands over the pages they found while exploring the office. "We had not seen a well in the camp at all, but when we returned outside, one of our party, Deralict, started acting stranger than usual, almost as if he could see things the rest of us could not. I believe it may have been the well. We were attacked by a lone gnoll, but dispatched them relatively quickly and easily. However, when we entered the temple, it was a different story.

			"As we entered, we watched as a green knight killed Captain Olstein. There were 3 captives still alive, but surrounded by gnolls, a giant hyena, and a deathpledge. The walls were covered in orange eyes, which commanded the gnolls to kill us. We were able to defeat the hyena, gnolls, and deathpledge, but the green knight seemed to be more interested in just leaving. We badly injured him, but he managed to escape. I fear we may have made a very powerful enemy. When we got outside, a hoard of gnolls was storming through the forest on the way to the camp. Lucinda just managed to get us all out of there on an air skiff, and from the sky, there was probably 200 of them. We never would have made it back without Lucinda."

			Chrysaor: Yuan-Ti, likes fire. I'm sorry I couldn't help him more against the gnolls in the temple.

			Deralict Dadwarf?: Not entirely sure how to spell that last name. Dwarf cleric. Prays to Bejasus? Not sure on spelling of that either. I have never heard of this god and know of no one else who worships him. Dwarf is a bit crazy. Found a "pet rock" and named is Sylvester. I believe he found the well mentioned in the papers we found, but he mentioned Sylvester again, even though the rock had previously been lost. Well lures you in with lost friends or family? Dwarf also locked us inside with the green knight. I regret supporting the decision, but we all managed to get out alive.

			Lysvan: Fire genasi, wildfire druid. The only person who really saved us against the green knight, since it really doesn't like fire. Likes to burrow underground as a badger to hide when things get really tough.

			Felix: Warforged bard, likes to tell stories. Uses the phrase "or whatever you like" a lot, including for his own name. Speaks of worlds among other stars, worlds that died. Seems somewhat sad when talking about the people who created him. Or supposedly created him? There are many conflicting rumors so I am unsure of what to believe in regards to Felix.

			Groth: Minotaur. Was a friend of Jim Stacy's. Left very suddenly. Didn't know him well before he left.

			Researcher Millar: Human? Researcher. Unsure of abilities. He is from the same group as Groth and Jim Stacy, so unsure if he can be trusted. Seems young though, and no one else trusts him, so figure I should give him a chance. Was very excited to hear about the aftermath reports Sabbatical is doing, and interrupted dinner together to obtain copies. Should have told him the stacks were duplicates of the same thing, but it was entertaining to see just how long it took him to discover on his own (overnight, at least).

			5/4/893

			It's been a couple days since we made it to the base camp. That was certainly something. I am starting to wonder how much I am cut out for this. It sure didn't feel like I was much help to my party, and we barely made it out alive. Amaris also believes I have depression, but this is just what everyone feels, right?

			5/20/893

			I have thrown myself into my work assisting the company with establishing the base camp, and so have unfortunately not had much time for social calls. From the stories others brought back, we will have a difficult time carving our place here, and may not be entirely welcome to do so.

 The next morning, Idi had breakfast with a few of the others, and accepted an invitation to spar with Jim Stacy.

In exchange, he developed more respect for the dead, though that is not the only agreement the Raven Queen got from him.

			'''Relationship with the Raven Queen'''

			Obsidian has somewhat complicated feelings about his deal with the Raven Queen. He feels like meeting her did save him from himself, and pulled himself out of the deep depression he was in after hearing the news of his adoptive parents’ deaths. On the other hand, he isn’t yet sure how he feels about being in her servitude, and the uncertainty he feels about the deal only increases the longer it goes without her communicating with him, as the Raven Queen has never spoken to Obsidian directly since making the deal, and rarely sends him signs. Obsidian often has doubts that these signs are even from the Raven Queen, and feels he misinterprets them often.

			Idi often feels like his patron has abandoned him, though on occasion she does attempt to reassure him. The most significant of these occasions was when she appeared to him in a dream, and he made a pact with her. The next morning, he woke up holding a handaxe, and quickly discovered how to summon it, dismiss it, and change its shape, though he usually uses it as an axe, as that is the version he became most comfortable with. She has sent him other dreams, but usually she does not appear herself in those dreams, and instead they primarily feature flocks of ravens. Obsidian usually misinterprets these dreams as being from his own psyche, plaguing him with ravens due to his inner conflict around making the deal with the Raven Queen. Once, he also woke up with a raven feather slowly drifting down towards him, but he assumed this came from his open window rather than a magical sign from his patron.

			While Obsidian doesn’t see their relationship as him worshiping the Raven Queen, he does still respect the Raven Queen and her ravens, and considers himself to be working for her and with her.

There, while he mostly kept to himself at first, he did meet several interesting people, mostly speaking with Lambda, a warforged, as the two had a similar interest in archeology and a shared acquaintance of Lorrie Haslo, and Finnegan, whose name he did not actually get, as the aarakocra's master had also had an interest in the lost city that Idi is so passionate about. Finnegan even let him look through some of his master's unfinished musical pieces, and Lambda agreed to take his hello to Lorrie next time the warforged visited and even take him to meet her again at a later date.

			Obsidian also met another warlock, Marion, and the two ended up in a discussion of their gods. Idi opened up about his parents’ deaths and subsequent meeting of the Raven Queen, though he remained secretive about some of the finer details of his relationship with the Raven Queen. He also let Marion know that he was working for Lorrie when he learned the news of his parents’ deaths, which Lambda may or may not have overheard, and his regret for leaving without telling her more. Marion also let Idi know that their god can be jealous of their relationships with others, and Idi reassured her that he would be their friend.

	Because of his pact with the Raven Queen, he tries to keep small bits of food, trinkets, or shiny things he thinks a raven might like on hand for whenever he sees one. You never know when they're going to take word back to the Raven Queen, so he tries to be polite to them and garner their favor just in case. On occasion, he will also give them small, unimportant messages for the Raven Queen, in case they're one of her messengers rather than a normal bird. He also won't harm a raven. Even if it were actively attacking him, he wouldn't defend himself against the bird for fear of angering his patron.

	Obsidian received a letter towards the beginning of the year in 893 inviting him to join [[the Tempest Brothers Expeditionary Company]] while in the employ of Her Ladyship's Stars. He immediately mailed a response with his immense enthusiasm to join their expedition, packed his bags, put in his notice with Her Ladyship's Stars, and set off for the proposed meeting place, almost arriving before his letter did in his excitement. There, while he mostly kept to himself at first, he did meet several interesting people, mostly speaking with Lambda, a [[warforged]], as the two had a similar interest in archeology and a shared acquaintance of Lorrie Haslo, and Finnegan, whose name he did not actually get, as the [[aarakocra]]'s master had also had an interest in the lost city that Idi is so passionate about. Finnegan even let him look through some of his master's unfinished musical pieces, and Lambda agreed to take his hello to Lorrie next time the warforged visited and even take him to meet her again at a later date. After the other two moved on, Idi continued watching from the edge of the room without interacting as much as others, though he did seem to start to relax a little the longer he was there.

	Obsidian also met another warlock, Marion, and the two ended up in a discussion of their [[gods]]. Idi opened up about his parents’ deaths and subsequent meeting of the Raven Queen, though he remained secretive about some of the finer details of his relationship with the Raven Queen. He also let Marion know that he was working for Lorrie when he learned the news of his parents’ deaths, which Lambda may or may not have overheard, and his regret for leaving without telling her more. Marion also let Idi know that their god can be jealous of their relationships with others, and Idi reassured her that he would be their friend.

	The next morning, Idi had breakfast with a few of the others, and accepted an invitation to spar with [[Jim Stacy]]. Before the spar, he snuck off to give a small prayer to the Raven Queen on a whim, something he had never done before, and give a few small offerings to a raven he saw watching over him nearby. Though he tried his best in the spar, he was defeated. The blows were so hard that Obsidian died. Through the black, he saw the Raven Queen, who told him this was not yet his time to die, and sent him back, where Marion helped heal him enough to not immediately pass out again. Afterwards, he disappeared from the tavern the Tempest Brothers Expeditionary Company has chosen to meet at, in order to wrap his head around having died and been revived by his patron he had thought had forgotten about him. When he returns, he is still somewhat confused and conflicted, but wishes to be around other people while he figures it out.

	"When we started off from the skiff, we were told there may be leftover guard towers in the forest from Perseus company, but we didn't expect to find the camps in the state we did. At the first tower, we found a massacre. Everyone was dead, there were heads on pikes, and a map showed every tower but the one we were at crossed out. In the basement, someone had been locked inside. It looked like they had been there for weeks, which would have been prior to the attack on the tower. The mouth, nose, and ears were stuffed full of black feathers, but it looked more like the feathers were coming from inside the body. They weren't from any bird I know of, either. On the wall, this was written: 'I am the flames that scorch the garden of rot, I am the wave that erodes the mountain of skulls, I am the quake that will shatter the labyrinth of lies, I am the storm that rends the palace of perfection, I am Malice.'

	"That night at camp, the ones who took watch experienced very strange events. Amaris saw the trees move closer, [[Chrysaor]] looked up into sky where trees should have been and it gave him vertigo, and in the morning, the monkey we had befriended the day before was found skewered on a tree well above us where he had been watching for us. Amaris said it seemed like it might be what she called 'the game,' like a higher being is just toying with us.		"That night at camp, the ones who took watch experienced very strange events.

	"We continued onward to the main camp the next morning. The scene there was even worse. Again, everyone we saw was dead, many inside what appeared to be a medical tent. There was a body which was coated in maggots and worms in the same manner as the feathered body. And this is also where we found the new shopkeeper, Dulio, hiding under a tarp with his [[drake]]. How he survived the massacre without being found, I do not know, but the scene was gruesome. Dulio gave us each our choice of his wares in exchange for being directed here, to our base camp.

	Wiggler: Awakened worm? Wears armor suit. [[Druid]]. Likes to be a cat. Would consider a friend. Came back from woods scared and changed.

	Paris: Airhead heiress. Seems nice enough. Cries when she isn't getting attention though. She did pay for a group of us to go to the spa, though, so probably nicer than she first appears.

	Felix: Warforged bard, likes to tell stories. Uses the phrase "or whatever you like" a lot, including for his own name. Speaks of worlds among other stars, worlds that died.
