A report to Thrayzar and Councilman Juramis and all citizens of Wheimer's.
Apparently, I have become the captain of the Merchant Road's pylon. I prefer to think of myself as a sergant, though.
On the 4th... The golems returned. with the airships once again, I led another group to the pylon at the merchant road. which seems to be my appointed place when these attacks occur.
For once, most everyone worked together....and all pylons were in operation. The Lake Eonak site was under attack from both golems and Zombies rising from the Lake. The Landing pylon was overrun by golems. Despite that. we took a heavy toll on the invading airships. and were able to defeat a great many of them before they were able to drop their cargo on the town. As far as casualties go. They were moderate among the defenders. and we only lost one person in my crew.(More to follow below). Luck was on our side, and skill.
Commendations are due to the following: Madmountan Goldstr Balantine Evia Dalirazza and Darcthundar.
Special recognition is due to a young giantkin, who arrived in the midst of the battle. his name is truje. and he accounted for the destruction of eight airships before shadowy tendrils impregnated him with moulis. His last action before the Moulis scrapings burst from his abdomen was to fire one last shot. destroying an airship. That was heading for one of the other pylon positons. He also took down ships that were headed right for our position, before the shadows attacked him.
In the event of future attacks, I recommend that any spiritual spellcasters attached to any of the pylons, please use their magic to light up the area. It may help in combatting the shadows....I'm willing to take the trade-off of being illuminated for any would be golem attackers.
I don't know how much more of this this city can take. We need to find where these airships are hidden. I urge everyone to keep their eyes open in their travels for signs of the Golems and their airships. If we do manage to get word of their location, I volunteer to accompany the raid.

OOC Note: Truje is a fairly new person to Gemstone. Felt bad that he got owned by the shadows his first time up....but at least we managed to get him some pylon time....Damn shame he got killed outside the north gate trying to run back to us. I should have told him to stay where he was. Didn't realize the north gate was getting hit so hard. It's like Ephya all over again! :) Wasn't Aiska a new player when she got involved with the Cross into shadows, as well?
