Session 9: Nomad's Reflection

Just keeps getting better and better. Lots of confusion surrounding this stone, and before we can even get to ask it anything, we have our friend the inspector breathing down our necks. Can't fault him for doing his job. I know he needs to maintain order and safety in Waterdeep, even if the way he does it is misguided. We're just different pieces in the game, but I'm hoping we're on the same side of the board. So many pieces though...At least one of them has been revealed for what they really are, and I'm glad that axe knew to warn us. Feel like Torm is looking out for us still after a gift like that. Regulus needed a new axe anyway. I'm glad it's one that wants to protect the city. And now that Illidrex, Kal, and Orion have found Xanathar's lair, it's even better to have with us when we go purge the rats from that hole.
 
Glad Sadachbia could get us something from that stone, even though I have no idea why I don't remember having it despite what I was told. As long as we get what we need. And Xoblob's revelation...First Sadachbia tells me there's something terrible coming. Then the stone leads us to another who's discovered the same, and the stone is scared for its existence too. I've always believed there was something more to all of this, and the closer we get to the hoard, the more I start to feel like this is only the beginning. All of us are touched by destiny. I hope the others have fates that grant them some small measure of peace at the end of this, whatever's coming. And one that Zora can share.
 
For me? It's easier for me to want to go face whatever annihilating force is coming. Especially if I had anything to do with why it's coming by destroying souls. Didn't mean to. Never would have if it wasn't for the great deceiver himself. But that doesn't mean I'm forgiven. And I know exactly where I'm going when this is all over. Maybe I can do something good for this world before that time comes. Something that will leave a better future for Zora.
 
And in the meantime, helping my allies seems like the best way to go about securing that future for her. So off to settle this issue with Illidrex in the Dock Ward. It was all pretty suspicious from the start. Clear to me that something illegal is going on but I'm not one to judge. Just hope they'll leave Illidrex alone. Or that he's alive, for that matter. Honorine says he's clear, so that'll have to do for now, whatever it is he's up to. And not like we don't have other matters to attend to like trying to inform Lady Silverhand, so back to the Wandering Spirits. Glad to see Zora safe, but things never seem to be that simple.
 
Undead breaking in now...Perfect...
