You Did Good! Now get to work

Journal excerpt from The Legend of Saramago and the Sixth Mage Guild:  

The rangers recon flight and intelligence gathering came up with some interesting things of note. Our friend, the warlord (he needs a name) seems to have been a pirate then all of a sudden was super powerful and taking over islands. The pirate lands are to the south and the only ancient site is where we are currently heading. We have stocked up the ship with 2 full alchemical kits so the priest and I can have one dedicated to potions while the other one is for poisons. We sold our other older ships helm, made some money at the expense of the mages guilds again and set sail straight through the core of the planet in the most direct path to arrive at the 'warlords' ancient base. I think we will find a pirate infested site myself.

There and back again... or how I learned to go backwards.

 Journal excerpt from The Legend of Saramago and the Sixth Mage Guild:  

 The last few weeks have been, eventful to say the least. Without much time for this journal hopefully I can remember some of the 'other' details.

We anchored the jammer by the bottom entrance fired some shot down the hall, and exited. I exploded fire near four guards and we found another 'ancient' door. The code from the previous door did not work.

It should be noted that a decision was made to return to 3.5x for good at this point.

No codes worked, time was short, knock didn't work. We beat the two doors down in about 10 minutes with no guards showing up from above yet. Gaining entrance to the room the details are a bit fuzzy but suffice to say that a large pedestal held a 'egg'. Dessicated and shapeless humanoids lie about the chamber one with a sword in perfect condition piercing its last victim still, a spear, ancient holy symbol, and a ring. We returned to our ship and returned to Demiset and reluctantly returned it to her. She gave us a smaller Dragonfly ship as a reward. This artifact of the ancients is very interesting. I discerned from its magic that its based in destruction, a identify does not provide enough information perhaps later...
Back in Aryunm, we sell our old helm, set up a stall in the 'black market' for poisons, potions, scrolls, rare item acquisition. The ranger heads out to recon for a week while the priest and I head to Riverwatch to research more on the ancients or the religion based on the symbol. Seems they may have revered one God over others.
Making some money and hearing that the 'Warlord of Matara' is a possible pirate who may have stumbled onto a ancient site from the south. We have a location on the map and we are currently en route through the 'planets core' to reach the destination on the far side of the habitable world.
