Journal #38 - It's Fine. Let's Go to Another Wizard Tower.

by Amity Pell

Haha so…. You’ll never guess who it was. It was Master Imorn and… and we had a chat. About everything. Not about being in jail. He said he wasn’t concerned about that, and I shouldn’t be either. About... what I did. Back home, before I left. But he said it actually worked out pretty good for his... his research, so he wasn’t really mad. Anyway. We decided the best thing to do is that um... well I'm gonna be his apprentice, sort of. Like he's gonna keep giving me things to do and I have to do them. I guess we made a deal.
 
And really, it's probably for the best anyway. I mean, I'll learn a lot, and um, I won't have to worry anymore, and, it's a good opportunity, really. So it's fine. Right...?
 
Anyway… he let me out. The guards all seemed really afraid of him. Dunno why. I found Max and Variel. Oh right… before he left, he introduced me to someone with my first task. It was a goblin I think, wearing a kinda scary mask. They didn’t say anything. But when I looked again, after I was back with Max and Variel, he looked like a halfling! All smiles and friendly. I don’t like it, but I don’t like anything right now…
 
Variel wants to know EVERYTHING right now but I’ll tell her later.
 
The disguised goblin took us outside, and a few blocks to a temple… and then into a secret library in the temple. Swindle was there, and a few minutes later Shire was too, with his friend Coen. Coen’s like, the opposite of Shire in every way, but not in a bad way. Like… soft and round instead of sleek and sharp. You know?
 
Oh uh. Apparently these people are the Society of the Faceless, and this is the Ashkeeper’s Library. Master Imorn is doing them a favor so he can use their library, and the favor is us.
 
Because: Attached to the library is a wizard’s tower, and there’s something dangerous inside that’s gone out of control. It’s a device that can feel memories in objects, and turn them into ghosts. But the wizard killed his apprentice, and the Faceless said they took care of the wizard but they can’t stop the thing. So that’s our job.
I just wanted to sit and rest for a minute, but we didn’t really get to.
 
The tower was full of complicated wizard things, as usual. We saw a magic device that shows a world and some stars, but I don’t think it was our world? Also!! We got attacked by mimics!! Me and Max are gonna poke everything with a stick forever now.
 
There was a workshop with a big unfinished construct. It had a like… a big hoop, or a ring, for a head. And it was half-carved in some places. A construct that WAS finished confronted us and wanted to see our identification but didn’t seem to think anybody’s was valid so we had to fight.
 
I’ll skip the rest but… the first time we saw one of the memory ghosts was when someone appeared and started talking to Swindle. She looked… sad. She was a firbolg like him, so what she said was in Giant, and I dunno what it was she told him but he looked like someone shot him dead right between the eyes...
