Catching up

by Nepheri

We finally managed to get some information as to what happened around Phennyr's village. Seems plants and animals have been dying in localized but growing spots around the area. The wizards and Blackstaff Tower seems to suspect the Shadowfell might be seeping in. Atalas keeps being a reliable contact for us.
 
It was good seeing Suffrax settling in. I suspect a life of research might suit him better than one in the trenches. Which serves as a good reminder on how much I appreciate being out in the field to help those who need me, no matter how much I benefited from my time in the temple.
 
As for our plans to apparently make me an heiress, which still feels incredibly awkward, they're moving forward. Sort of. The city has made clear that they have no interest in making this complicated and some aid as a show of good faith in the form of investigating some problems near some farms in the Undercliff. Turns out, it's the same area Tinu from the house (.. eh... our servant, I guess...) is from and the events has scared her and her family as well. All the more reason to help out if we can.
 
Ellywick has also brought back our newest addition to the group: the fully aware Chickiwick. He seems like a very nice person, though I admit I have limited experience with people who are squirrels. What he seems to be lacking is a sense of property. Anything and everything seems to be a possible gift to his former owner. And while I trust her to return things of mine, it might become a problem in the future...
 
For instance, I hope he'll leave Tinu's family in peace. Her parents are lovely, and the way they care for Tinu's mother... I miss my own mother terribly. I guess I always will. The least I can do is try to contribute a little bit to the happiness of this family as I don't have my own.
 
Protecting them is confusing at the moment. Our best clue is that they headed for some small mountains in the south and they may or may not be demonic in nature. Which is extra unhelpful since people mix up devils and demons all the time. And some creatures might seem demonic but not associated with neither the Abyss nor the Nine Hells. Investigating the windmill where they apparently spent that night yielded nothing and since we know what actually killed the miller, they weren't there to do that. Which we have winged, possibly demonic, beings that sat on the wings of a mill for a few hours during the night, scaring the locals but not doing anything, and then flying away. I'm beyond confused.
