Dusk barge leg 2

by The Abyssal Sorcerer Isaiah Thatch

Neft barge, leg 2. Isaiah’s PoV
 
It's been a while since I’ve kept a journal like this, but as my mind grows more concerned with my own plan I feel as though it might be helpful. So write this as a memoir and report, should someone be reading this outside of my personal plane, know that you have sinned against me and my wrath will be terrible.
 
We regrouped after our brief solo scouting missions, most highly successful. We were able to make contact with the majority of our employers assassins and have been asked to assist in a few minor tasks.
