A Legend of the Mist Tinder Box Journal Entry -
 
Dearest Martha.
 
I hope this communication reaches you. If it has, the carrier I encountered on the road and paid to deliver it has honored their word.
 
Indeed, strange things are afoot. The group encountered an abandoned well a few weeks out on the trip. And within it, a monstrosity.
 
I may have trained to handle everyday occurrences against living men. Indeed, not that creature that I fought on that farmer's land. And most assuredly not what we found in the well. A serpentine creature, corrupted in its nature, engaged us. Fortunately, the apple picker could account for himself enough to allow me to go down to strike the killing blow. We met a strange person near the well. She may know what is happening, and hopefully, sooner rather than later, she will unburden herself of that knowledge.
 
Time will tell.
 
Rest assured, you're always in my thoughts. The locket you gave me with your picture and a piece of hair is always near my heart.
 
You are in my dreams until we meet again.
 
Jared.
