The Watcher

We all decided to go check why the Mitropolitis was acting strange. Arriving at a very large building that is more fancy and cleaner than most parts of the city. I begin to think that their Deity is greedy or maybe that’s the people’s way of showing they care. I spot some guards by the door and first I find it strange that they are guarding the entrance, but I see that people pass straight past them with ease. Good, it would be strange if they stopped people form going to a holy site for praying. Iallanis would not need such a large building unless it was to it were to reunite all the giants under one banner that would be so wonderful. Any who, I asked the guard if we could speak with Emilinia. This guard “Bob” didn’t want to help even when I said we have a gift for her. Makes me sick to my stomach trying to lie like that but in my travels with humans it seems to be the thing to do. Looks like we were all going in after hours when they closed at night… Why are there so many guards still here I have a strange feeling that they don’t see the Mitropolitis often enough to see her strangeness for themselves. Munnin was Inside by herself Freyja was escorted out when they closed, I think we should cause a diversion for everyone else to get inside. Munnin said in my head that the door is now unlocked. Freyja, Ozymandius, and myself approached the guards to demand to speak with her as I signal to the others to go to the door. To show I am not a threat I suggest they bind us because Ozymandius couldn’t convince them, and Freyja was stopped before she could do what she could grab the belongings of the guard. I have to say this place is very nice they bound us with nice silk bindings and had a lovely waiting room with a very comfy couch while we waited to be seen. Emilinia showed up and sure enough I detected magic and seen that she is being controlled. I raise these concerns to the guards, and they don’t trust us still and the bindings are too tight for me to dispel the charm. Things are looking bad I think the guards might be instructed to take us away … I give a look to Ozymandius and hold out my bindings stretching them as wide as I can hoping that he knows what I plan to do. Just as I was about to change into a sabretooth and rip off his bindings for him to dispel the charm, they sent for someone else They lessen to this other holy person that removes the charm.
 
We learn that a creature called the watcher is behind the charm and seems to be under something control itself. I start to worry, my grandfather used to tell stories of a creature that fit its description that he knew of deep in the mountains and warned us to run if we ever seen it. Petaluma Knows about the creature and from what she told us it made my grandfather’s stories seem like kid’s tales. Knowing this thing is that dangerous and is below the city I feal like we must do something about it before others get hurt. Speaking of getting hurt, our newcomer to the group for some reason decided to touch a mace that he just seen stun Emilinia’s maid. We all decide to sleep, and I remember from my travels a recall strange fellow that was a bit unorthodox that told me that magic cant heal everything. He said, “once before I was turned to stone for a long time and after they used their magic to being me back, I still needed a little something more”. He said the night entertainment a tavern has to offer be it female or male heck both at the same time is the best to revitalize your muscles.
 
As we started our decent under the church, we found something of nightmares. Not a Beholder but what looks like one that sucks the blood from its victims. We almost lost Freja this fight was a tough one I hope that removing the item on the beholder will allow it to leave and be at peace. An intelligent creature should not be held captive under someone else’s control even something as dangerous as a beholder.
