Entry Thirteen: Battling the Kipine

• In the morning, Haka performed a ceremony to put the undead dwarf to rest. It is comforting, in a way, to know she can do such things. Should I fall on this journey, she can ensure my corpse remains in the earth.
 
• Rahnce took his sword — Hundrumir Hearthguard
 
• We traveled until we located the Kipine
 
• It was a rough fight. The creatures could fly, and we were forced to run up and down a mountainside. Rahnce took a severe beating through this round, it was all I could do to keep both him and Haka conscious. I thank the gods she is a healer as well.
 
• Still, we were triumphant
 
• We met an elf on the way down. "Griane." Goto sent him, so I am immediately wary. Why he insists on traveling with us is unclear, but it is useful to have an extra set of eyes, I will admit. Still, trust will have to be earned, and I don't believe I will grant it until he explains his purpose here.
 
• We took the ferry back to Primont
 
• Rahnce did something odd to Griane. It is an innocent request. "Ill watch your back, you watch mine." But still, the look in his eyes when he shook Griane's hand. The history with devils. I do trust Rahnce, but... I do not trust what clings to him.
 
• We were given a scroll, three vials of holy water, and a case of enchanted crossbow bolts
 
• Additionally, I was given... a card, when I asked about further help in my quest, regarding my goddess. I do not know what it does, of course, but it bears the cup which washed upon the shore.
