No body doing this so thought i'd help the carters out. Made this map the other day when we went to seal up the orc cave.

I can describe the journey to get here but i cant get any pictures of inside as the guardsmen sealed up this cave a few days ago.

Made another map. This time of Liches. We were on a daily patrol and came across some liches. I decided to follow the tracks and see where these liches came from. Turns out there is a lich gathering just south of SK. Big danger or what?!?

You take the road south out of SK and when you reach the crossroads go south. Follow the path untill you get to a guard outpost, then break off the path and go straight south. After a while you will find some ruins infested with liches.

Finding everything remarkably peaceful in the morning, I decided to see if there were any tasks that needed taking care of.

Mapping the locations of monsters - that sounded as easy as things come, but on consulting the list, I found entries such as "Poison elemental", "Daemon", "Balron", "Dragon" "Greater Dragon" - Greater Dragon!? Possibly this isn't actually so much a plan to get maps as to eliminate excess junior guardsmen...

"Succubus" - sounds interesting, no idea where to find one, more's the pity.
I'm sure as hell not going swimming out to sea looking for a Kraken.

Fortunately, further down the list there was "Ogre Lord". Much simpler - I'd run into one of those the other day down in some ruined hell-hole of a town built in a cave in the mountains. I retraced my steps there - somewhat nervously, remembering how filled with hideous beasts it had been before.

Bravely, I stepped through the gates, to be confronted with...

A cow. A solitary stinking cow.
No-one wanted a map to a cow.
I ventured deeper into the caves.

And then ran like a madman back out of them. Somewhere in that horde of hideous beasts, there was an ogre lord, I'm sure of that.


After that merry jaunt, I decided to head somewhere more relaxing. Fortunately, one of my favourite holiday spots is occasionally plagued by imps, so I had the chance to kill two birds with one stone, as it were.

I set off for the lighthouse in the Northern parts of the so-called "lost" lands (they're still exactly where I left them). Conveniently enough, there's a tunnel there from Yew itself, so it wasn't too far. I went directly from the Ogre Lord's caves, but I've sketched this map showing the way from Stonekeep.

I then made my way through the courts, the prison, and the secret tunnels and caves that lead to the lighthouse (memo: be sure not to put prisoners in those ground floor cells - half the damn things have secret exits).

A short jog south of the lighthouse confirmed the presence of Imps in the area, and after that, I returned to the lighthouse for a not-very-well-earned-break.

Still 16 more critters to find! EASY COPPER folks!

[Kevin Longshot]

Here's how to find instant death if your alone... can find them here but be cautious at least.
So head to valour... run down the pass head towards the bridge with the clearing into the forest and you'll pretty much damn well see their scaly hides in the tree's can't miss them and if your unlucky a fireball or a large size comming your way.

Several Dragons in the area I'd think there's a nest nearby.

*This note is splattered with specks of blood*

Well as I was standing around Stone keep this morning, I noticed this note on the Boards to search for the location of these various creatures. I remembered having seen some of the creatures mentioned while on a patrol with First Marksman Oliver Gray to the lands of the East not two days before!

I left Stone keep, jogging through Yew to the Moongate, however I couldn't for the life of me remember where it was Gray sir had taken us... "something jimmy" was all I could remember, however I ended at the other end of the gate and met a local who kept saying "Homare-jima" which I eventually took to be the place as he frustratedly pointed to the ground. Though the area didn't look familiar I ventured out roughly south-west of the gate and within a few minutes of walking I found myself in forrest of blackened trees and ran into a beast that looked familiar from the patrol! A revenant lion! I snuck around it so that I would be able to take a sketch but inadvertantly gave away my location... soon I found myself running for my life. Though sprinting back towards what I thought was the gate, I noted two more of these creatures as well as a number of strange skeletons (much larger than those in the cemetry in Yew and armoured!).

Eventually I managed to hide up a tree while the lion prowled away. After an our of nervous scanning from the tree tops I ventured back to the ground and found myself lost. I heard a crackling of branches behind me, and turned swiftly fearing another chase, and just about dived out of the path of a large sharp blade held by a crimson clad warrior. I managed to parry his heavy blows a while but found myself retreating. I stumbled around the forest till I found the gate and my way back home...

Though the creature I inteded to find was actually a beetle the size of a small dragon, I was too weary to venture out again that evening. Having experienced enough of the East for one day I will leave the hunt till I recover.
