9 Mirtul 1396

Trademeet again. Saved some daft young couple and found the murderer from the bridge district. Was sent by a particularly odious aristocrat to retrieve a gold-plated neck brace from his ancestors tomb. When I took it to him I got caught in the cross fire of some ancient family grudge. Discovered a great tactic against invisible opponents. Target ground items near where you think they are hiding with the wand of lightning. Some of the rebounds are bound to hit.

Pleasant walk through the lands southwest of the grove. Very agreeable nap in front of a strange tower. May have to investigate tommorrow.

11 Mirtul 1396

Attacked by a strange variety of demons and ghosts and walking statues. As I journey deeper into watchers keep, I wonder whether the adventuring life is a vocation, or just a bad habit.**

12 Mirtul 1396

Met a deranged elf called Yakman. After I relieved him of his insanity (but not before I relieved him of some of his possessions) he informed me that his party had been killed by the demons wondering this floor of the keep. Stuff those ridiculous Helmites and their tin-pot god. I am begining to think that this is beyond me. Back to Athklata it seems.

Killed some vampires. There is a boat to spellhold waiting for me at the docks. Just a few things to sort out first...

14 Mirtul 1396

Mostly traveling today . Killed some knights believing them to be ogres. That's what I said afterwards anyway.

15 Mirtul 1396

Met Lord Firkragg. He's really let himself go since our last meeting. Rescued Windspear's child, but decided to leave Firkragg alone for now. Discretion is, after all, the better part of cowardice.

16 Mirtul 1396

Temple district sewers. Was sent to retrieve a magical rod of some description. Didn't fancy fighting an elder orb, so sent my pet fire elemental Ignus* to soften him up a bit. To my astonishment, the fire elemental killed the freaky looking curmudgeon without my help. Realised that I could fulfill my duty, both to the temple and to Gaal, by killing the beholder and giving Gaal the rod. I gave it to him alright. Hehe.

Both Jan and Haer'Dalis claim to have met deities before. I'm not sure what the significance of that is, other than that both of my colleagues are two loaves short of a slice.

Accidently wandered into a Illithid lair. My sword spider form made short work of them, but Haer'Dalis proved even more useless than usual. Isn't there a place where people like that can go to get rehabilitated?

Heh, Ignus. Good times.

I should try out an avenger some time, they sound pretty cool.

On the road again. Sent by the spirit of the grove to help a small boy in Trademeet.

18 Mirtul 1396

Rescued the little toerag. It seems the force is strong in this one. The spirit decreed that the child will be raised in the grove.

Back to Athklata. I'm running out of ways to avoid the inevitable encounter with Irenicus. Lets get to it. Ah well, if not to heaven then hand in hand to hell...

Very nice.

27 Mirtul 1396

After much sailing arrived in Brynlaw. Nature's vengence was distributed liberally. Eventually decided the quickest way into the asylum was to convince Desharik that I am mad.

That was easy. However, I'm writing from a dungeon underneath the asylum, having been stripped of my immortal essence. Found Imoen, but left her to get out on her own. It is in accordance with nature that the strong survive. Harsh as it may seem, it is best for Imoen's personal development.

28 Mirtul 1396

Have been summoned to the City of Caverns to save an ancient marine species from total annhilation. Their king seemed tanked up to the gills, so I was forced to negotiate with their exiled prince.

29 Mirtul 1396

In the underdark disguised as a drow. People say drow have no sense of humour, but it's been a laugh a minute here in Ust-Natha. Killed all manner of strange beasties.

30 Mirtul 1396

I've always thought insects such pretty creatures. However, pretty creatures can do ugly things to people, as Deirex found out to his cost. A lich dead with just two spells, and not a mark on my baby soft skin.
