One confirmed kill.. Was tough! I only just signed up so hopefully not too late.The fearless foursome of Gold Dragon, Tynk, Pied Piper, and Fink fought tirelessly to bring an end to at least one remaining threat to the Realm!
Rallying to the Compassion Shrine as our base we discovered a small oasis, a beacon of hope to the desert explorer to bolster our resolve. It was there I was struck by the idea to launch a small boat to act as a floating fort. Gold Dragon provided a sturdy vessel with a fierce dragon prow to harrow the enemy!
Now with a modicum of protection provided by a moat, Gold Dragon, Marshall of Trinsic, sent his formidable crimson drake, Nicse Raumo, into the fray, aided by Tynk's pointy unicorn of doooom, Harp! The brunt of the attack repelled by the heroic beastie friends, Pied Piper brought awesome sorcery and mischievous music to bear on the noxious ne'er-do-well!
As the others closed ranks aboard the small ship, I was able to circle the fray and provide arch cures to the group as one. I too tried to bring torment to our attacker with rising colossus but, as the pitiful damage was dealt, it was repaid in kind upon my person with vicious poison! I decided my paltry contribution to combat was best eschewed in favour of keeping the group in good health with arch cures, greater heals, and cleansing winds. I elected to remain off the boat and on the alert for any nosey neighbours who might need herding away, avoiding complications to our precision teamwork.
Further to this, I completely exhausted my knighthoods in both Humility and Spirituality, the majority of which was spent in the earlier prime attack in protection of our fellows and beasties. I highly recommend pursuit of these virtues, not the least because they can help turn the tide of these epic battles!
At the time of writing, there are still two Horrific Visions of the Future splodging around the desert well east and far south of the Compassion Shrine. I will post an update should this situation change!

In an effort to aid a focused defense against the recent attacks, I have herded all the scorpions in the desert around Compassion Shrine into the small cave at the northwest, out of harm's way. I can confirm the two Horrific Visions are still at large in the area.
On a professional note, shepherds beware the Horrific Visions will panic not only you but your herd as well! They will resume following you as soon as they gather their composure.
Gold Dragon has graciously left his boat by the shrine unlocked should anyone care to use it as a base. If this proves insufficient defense against the larger menace, I may be able provide further fortification. Stay watchful, and beware of that dratted Krampus too!

One of the Horrific Visions previously occupying the desert has wandered east and is menacing several castles near the guard outpost.
A further Horrific Vision has been sighted along with another Night Terror in the woods near the road north of the desert. As this is a common route to Yew, Trade Order runners are advised to exercise caution.
Forensic examination of both the ectoplasm and bizarrely shaped stone has revealed nothing unusual, at least nothing within our current understanding. Further appraisal determined that the stone cannot be magically unraveled. The stone's surface appears convoluted like a walnut kernel or brain, and is described as a vibrant seagreen colour.

I couldn't get a screenshot and actually intended to just use this, but seems Tynk's post covers me haha.
Awesome effort !!!
Pray tell, mine brethren - hath we felled the last of the varmints?
