Brigan 24

Dearest Diary,
 
It's been another eventful day. We had just arrived at the Great Works the previous night and instead of getting a chance to take in the sights (what few there were, it's really just one big rock), we're already running off to meet with archmages one day and jumping down pits the next. I suppose meeting the original Thula was a bit interesting, but also depressing. It didn't help that Thula was such a bore (who has time to sit around painting all day?). Her "husband", however....I didn't think I'd meet a bigger pig than Renn, but here I am, corrected. She may be dull, but she certainly doesn't deserve the cage Ergan has put her in. I'll have to see about "loosening" her bars, before we depart.
Climbing down that mineshaft was truly a nightmare, I don't how the others were able to handle it (and they decided to climb back up afterward!). Than we had gelatinous cube elevators, had to dive through fetid cave water and fight some metallic beetles. Myrronn was a dear, but a bit hard to look at. Very talented (and knowledgeable), but I wish he didn't live so far out of the way. I certainly won't be climbing down anymore holes. Perhaps I can channel my shadow magic into a teleportation effect? He did gift a scroll of teleportation, but I was forced to use it to return to the surface. Just think about the hours the other spent climbing is making me tired. I think that will be all for tonight. I'm looking forward to a long, restful sleep.
