Night In Sharn

We have just arrived in Khorvaire and it is such a strange place! Stranger than I had imagined but that can only be a good thing - the stranger it seems now, the easier to understand even the more stranger things that will pass. The faster I get used to t...

Dark winged and flighty, elegant as ink writing in a holy book. Starving now as food falls in hard times; fast as they blink. Flying high, as fast as their wings allow - head to the stars, the sun, far from the stink of the famine - fly strong and d...

The smell. The stench of rot, of earth, of death - I do not understand what happened. I remember so little and I feel it. Some of them had two mouths (what where they?) Some of them had tentacles. I remember vague names from lessons long ago, in books...

It's been a long time since I have managed to take enough time to shelter to collect my thoughts. Running and running and running. Chased by monsters, chased by people who are unpleasant - this has been nothing but running! I don't know what to think ...

Virikhad has left. The two strangers who are not Warden have left. We will soon be sailing again. Sailing isn't too bad once you get used to the waves and the hard work is good for contemplation but I cannot but help feel sad to see him go. I should restr...

Steel clad soldier through the dusk and the dark [br] with bright blue gaze cut through the coming storm. [br] Healing and nature; metal, blood and bark - [br] an anchor in a place that transforms. [br] Strange ways and stranger now in the silence [br...

In their tents, they mourn the loss of their land [br] and silent sorrow is death's deep refrain,[br] broken now and scattered but still, they stand.[br][br] As memories are lost like steps in sand,[br] those that are not lost are shrouded in pain.[...

There was an attack today when that...Princey person tried to do a speech. It was quite enlightening but I suppose not so enlightening for the attackers. One of them got me with their longsword (I'll need to remember to sow this later) and when we tried t...

Mud and grass grow tall amongst indifferent trees. Blood stain on the rocks Now, what happened here? Well paid thieves stalk from the growth and spear the party. Spared lives - mouths kept shut - loosened only by epics told by the warforged....

This place is stranger than I thought but I am happy to learn what I can. There is this group called Swords of Liberty who are dead set on "freeing people from the monarchy". I suppose I can understanding that but they are harming the very lives they ...

Creatures unseen and unbound in the wood; [br] in cities covered in mists and in sky.[br] Screeching, swooping - are they misunderstood?[br] What is good and not fades in their sigh. [br] Is nature neutral now in their dark wood?[br] Can evil infect ...

It was a creature. Incredibly tall, gaunt, spindly lanky limbs but it had no head but two...cones. The cones had teeth. Humanish looking teeth. It made a sound that is still ringing in my ears. It scared an owlbear and those are certainly fearsome creatur...

Along the dusty roads, we make our trail - [br] ships cutting through water, wind cut by sail. [br] Trees rise like masts as we tread earthy sea[br] and misty cities and creatures we flee.[br] Though now in memory's rose-colour tale,[br] the fears th...

Terfel explained he does not know what the Siren creature is. His people made a warning system but it wasn't alive like that is. Still very strange. It must be frightening to suddenly be alive and alone and not understand what you are for or why you are t...

Elemental trains lug primordial thoughts across country, scoring the land bright. And slowing of huddled passengers in plush chairs, to see the most marvelous sight. Piled high slate roofs, peaking up to see the busy people pouring past in daze. ...

Politics is not something I thought I would ever get involved in. It seemed to be some clandestine game of dragonchess that only a few people really knew the rules to but most people pretended to know the rules and it somehow affects people's lives. We ar...

Cornucopias fill out on tables, strangers feasting as if long known friends - regaling histories now mere fables. Their charm and wit compete to enable polite conversation as night lends. Cornucopias fill out on tables - Food rich and people...

This room is the most comfortable place I have ever been to the point it feels too decadent, too much to really take on without it somehow being wrong. The simple lodgings I have had up until this point - either at the monastery or at New Cyre - seem to p...

Here in the dark, huddled around fires, clinging to scraps of light - like old men holding to memories. Stench curls up, tendrils of smoke that clog the air. Dirty rain pours over flimsy canvas. Shivers echo through the camp. Hidden in the s...

Sharn is so much bigger than I remember. The spires seem to stretch up so ridiculously high into the sky and seem to go down deep. I forgot how dark it was inside, away from the skies. And so busy! So much more busy than Wroat and wildly more so than New ...

Twisted creatures made of sulphur and fire erupt from the forge, blinding and anew, clutching at the rags of flesh and attire. Flames and molten metal their gnarled maws spew grasping, frantic like escaping a mire. From which strange realm did these ...

A lot has happened in a short time so please excuse if the artifice is lost within the translation from reality to the written word. We managed to successfully join the Cliftop Adventurer's Guild however they have a strange rivalry with the other one,...

Winding, ragged and long; the tunnels bore down the the core. Warm and cold, impossibly old. Navigation impossible to all but the natives used to the shadows that surround and suffocate. Maps and signs are useless as it moves with the planet....

Given that this is my second entry today, you can tell that a lot has happened since the last entry. Indeed, I was only writing during a rest before heading into Kyhber's Gate. I am now in the Guild Hall, in a fairly comfortable room. I think out of all t...

The tavern bristles in the quivering candlelight. Strange people meeting here now, large, burly, fearless in delivering a silent promise, an unspoken vow. The swiftest retribution, shivering in anticipation, matter of how. Tables mended, already s...

Quick uodate whilst I can. Dax and Terfel are trying to see if they can sniff out K'zzal within the back room. We met a gnoll who advised there was a large lozardfolk acting as a butcher in this tavern. Warden and I are still sat at the table, waiting. I ...

In dark tresses, her face is framed like art - [br] a familiar yet new sensation. [br] Green eyes that pierce through to the soul, the heart.[br] Eyelashes whisper quiet flirtation[br] and dreams that soft lips gracefully impart, [br] a price paid in...

Ripped flesh and sinew, howling like wolves to the full moon. Searing pain flashes through and will fester all too soon. Dizzying, ears rushing as the conscious dips between the calculated logic of man and the hunger of a beast. Frayed edges o...

I will be brief as it is getting very late and we will likely have much to do in the morning and if I am truly honest, I would rather see this day end rather than have to stretch it out even further. My faith has not been shattered but my ego has certainl...

It has been many months since I saw my homeland and I suppose I have been a little homesick. After a while, you lose something. I can still feel the cool mountain air, the smell of the grass and trees, the singing of sweet birds in the air. I can still re...

Calming voices, familiar and yet unfamiliar still. Gathering Light - shining beacon in Sharn, a sweet vignette to beloved Adar. Faces, warm, bright in candlelight. Psionic singing sets the incense mood. Questions - soft and polite sweeten the foo...

It has been...an increasingly strange day, I must admit. How can I travel from the lows of being injured to the highs of being so close to Lakashtai in the matter of a few hours? With fights and a spiritual awakening inbetween no less? I wonder if tomorro...

That...Daelkyr tried to sever the tie between myself and Shana. How is that even possible? The exact magic used to fuse the human and the quori are long since lost but to be possible to tear it apart? It certainly explains how my eye has been acting of it...

That gnome woman is...peculiar. She manages to elicit a sense of danger, of that you are somehow in deep trouble just by standing there and being overly polite, by being a gracious hostess. It is the most unsettling thing I have seen today and I have seen...

Count the six birds in her room, see them fly and fail to defy their ornate cages. Alina! Mystique that transcends ages and yet a threat muttered upon the sigh. Power corrupts and yet all signs are shy. Stories untold but lessons burn pages and al...

I do not have much time, we will be leaving for the labatory that Olalia knows about. Stupid, how could I be so stupid to not try to mindlink with her before? Perhaps I shouldn't be so harsh to myself but we could have sorted this entire mess out days ago...

Clean; spotless and clean yet the stench of decay lingers still. Winding; paths travelled only by refuse and desperate escaping the ooze. Thin; thin spiderlike pipes connect everywhere, feeding it. Many; Many places to hide and hide ...

Just when I think I understand this Light-forsaken continent, it throws this at me. We got through the sewers quickly and were reunited just as quickly with Daine and Llyr. Daine was extraordinarily angry, fuming at the situation, at Lei being missing...

In the dark, mouth closed by mourning there is a silence that cannot be broken. Isolation in stone from mist and murk only met with psionic handwaves music with unintelligible lyrics filter through, words from friends and family make no sense...

So Terfel has a symbiont now. That is...well, it could go either way. On the one hand, change isn't necessarily bad and it could be a beneficial relationship and on the other it is from the same place as those mind flayers and dolgrims. Not that I really ...

endless screaming it asked my name endless screaming what i am endless screaming it does not know what a kalashtar is endless screaming it wished me a good day endless screaming and closed the door endless screaming endless ...

So, that's what Warden's people have been fighting all along. Those things. My mind can barely keep up with it, like it was understandable but incoherent and painful. Every syllable, every fragment of a word, every like seared with pain. I no longer w...

Fragment lost in the soul to be brought back the seperation of Kal from Shana is unthinkable; concept too ...

The rain tears down, mud thick under foot as leg mechnically falls into place, monotonous as grey and brown meld together; stone, field and sky reflecting each into each, muddying the barriers between. Churning feet, like oars parting the sea arms...

It's been a while, hasn't it? It's not that I didn't want to write but your energy sometimes wanes like the moons in the sky - that the words that could so easily ...

I had to attack my friends today. It was not a decision I made lightly but it was necessary. They were attacking Dah'mir! How could they? In that moment, I knew my allegience and I cannot believe Terfel and Warden betrayed me! Singe...I do not know as wel...

Copper scales hue hinting at soft mint green[br] and emerald eyes that pierce through the veil -[br] dark and light glints that hint at places seen[br] and unseen; the mountain, swamp and the vale.[br] That dark, confident voice, smooth as sateen,[b...

At least when trudging through the mountains, the scenery would at least change now and then. These tunnels seem to be endless - rock upon rock upon damned rock. Sometimes smoothed away by those wretched roiling masses, sometimes rough, only softened with...

Chorus of dawn, lullaby of dusk and endless light and song intertwined. Undefined - the singers that speak and whisper in harmony. Ghosts or sirens; people or monsters - the notes trickle languid down the walls like moss, growing and growing, ...

In comparison to the days of walking with little in terms of change, today has been packed with...trouble, to say the least. The Shining Valley is home to a community of harpies - these strange bird people. ...

[to the tune of Macavity the Mystery Cat from Cats] Dah'mir's so mysterious He's called the Dear Revered For he is the copper dragon that all the wicked fear He's the bafflement of Gatekeepers the shifter's depair for when they reach the sacred s...

[to the tune of Shiny from Moana.] [To Singe] Well, Hrucann hasn't always been this glam A nonchalant dolgaunt once Now you know your little victory was a sham Because I'm undying, baby Did your General say, "Remember, keep cool"? "Follow ord...

[To the tune of Hakuna Matata from the Lion King] [WIND] Lightning on Water! What a wonderful ship [VENNET] Lightning on Water! They've not gave the slip [WIND] We'll catch up with them And then slaughter them all [BOTH] It's our guaran...

Down in the resting place of the great Dhakaani scholar, she passed into Kashtai, fragments reunited and the soul faded away. Her voice and flesh linger still like an echo off marble. Separated and gone, still here and fighting, quantum bereavement in...

I do not have much to say today. This day has taken a lot out of me and I am not entirely sure how to manifest these into words, into coherent thoughts. I attacked my friends. I killed Kelarth. Dah'mir got away and I could have stopped it. Tetkashtai ...

This was a long day and I am unsure whether there will be consequences for our actions. If there are, they may be significant. The day started somewhat well. After a light breakfast in Clifftop, we went to the Morgrave University administration offic...

The murmur of people clutters as lanterns splutter in the wind. Music leaks at the edge of hearing as people dance and drink away. The night appears still - busy underneath, when senses search for the movement the muffled noises. Illusions a...
