Day 8 with the Fiend Hunters

by Lucia Marro

We are currently in the sewers under Stilben in the Clasp base... or what's left of it after Kesher came here. It's gross and wet and smells awful. We are trapped, but I'm sure we will get out of here eventually... hopefully... oh please gods let us get out of here... We were just in a fight with some Myriad agents, and we won (clearly). In the fight, one of those jerks slammed me against a wall by my chest and started to put manacles on me! I have heard about human trafficking, but I never thought it would happen to me... now that I think about it, I guess that's what all girls think before it happens to them. Luckily, dimension door doesn't need my hands to be free in order to cast it. One of them said, "You ladies will fetch a nice price" (I was with Edge). I was disgusted and a little afraid of what these men had done before to other girls... At least they won't be able to do that anymore, we made sure of that. We let one of them live, he was hurt and terrified and helpless (also his name was Gerald, I think), so Arziros made a deal with him based on a note in Undercommon that Edge found and I translated. The note said that for every head of a Clasp, a lot of gold would be given to the agent who brought back the head (I don't remember how much exactly, I don't have the note with me right now). We came here with the goal of trying to find some sort of clue as to the whereabouts of Kesher or to possibly find some survivors of that massacre. We did not find either. All we found was hostility... oh and also a mysterious key... and some papers... and more information on the Clasp. Apparently there are Clasp bases in many cities, including Kymal! It is such a nice place, I wouldn't imagine a major crime organization would set up shop there. Also, another thing about the fight, Edge is... not very effective in combat. She is very... squishy... I think that's a good word to use. I will say though, she is very likable and fun to be around. She is a tiefling... but at least she doesn't seem to be like them. I think this will be interesting... and maybe even a little fun. Emerial's words are still sticking with me. She says I should give myself more credit, and I am trying, but I could barely defend myself and Edge in the fight earlier. I'm so weak that I almost got taken against my will. How can I give myself more credit when I can't even protect myself, much less my new friends, and especially the whole world... I have to try though, or else they would have died for nothing.
