Oh aberrant aberrations, how shall I view thee?

I see now, that for a lack of a story I simply included a map of our adventure in old Sharaat. There was quite a lot that occurred, of which the most important is that we killed-off the wight guards of an ancient goblinoid binding artifact. We couldn't just leave it there, now that the guards were gone, so I took it with me. Ever since then I have felt a force or presence of some kind constantly watching the binding device. The device is like an over sized amulet, without a chain, and the ancient goblin character for law on it. I'm pretty certain it's related to the dealkyr invasion from Xoriot some 9 thousand years ago. As we left the underground ruins four dealkyr-created aberrations known as dolgrims attacked us. Mostly they all attacked me, and if it wasn't for the two-handed sword we found with the wights (one a bugbear and the other a wolf-like lizard creature), and Teves' keen swinging of it I probably would not still be here. It seems the sword was made to fight aberrations, since each time he hit one it exploded in a gory mess of mislaid body parts. Sometime a good word for goblinoids is deserved.
