Session 20230420 Enter Fear Eater
General Summary
Bertrum's Journal
My dear journal,
What a day it has been! From finding a chef for our survival food kitchen to witnessing a remarkable orator, Fear Eater, give a speech that moved me like no other, the events of today have been simply remarkable.
We had been searching for a head chef to oversee our kitchen and produce the “Tinkerers Travel Treats,” and finally, we found a man who seemed to fit the bill. Although he had been accused of embezzlement, he had lost his position due to false accusations. I spoke to him at length and decided to take him at his word. Besides, our bookseller friend was to oversee the business operations while he ran the kitchen.
Nightshade, bless her heart, had the idea to talk about the Illuminated Ones in the taverns, even though I warned her that it could be dangerous. She was followed, but managed to shake her pursuer and even turned the tables by following him. I must admit that I am surprised she did not confront him.
But the real highlight of the day was Fear Eater's speech. The man was a true orator, and his persuasive arguments about forming an alliance with the Ice Walkers to fight the Linowan once more moved me deeply. I have never heard anything like it, and I suspect the thousands in the crowd felt the same way.
After the speech, I felt compelled to approach Fear Eater. I suspected he might be another of the exalted, and to my surprise, he accepted an audience with me. I offered him a gift of my loud hailer to aid him further in his speeches, and he was very impressed. I then took the opportunity to ask for a boon: to help us transport some of our survival food to the war-ravaged people of Ardeleth. He agreed, and the kitchen worked through the night to ensure we had enough food to meet his needs. The next day, Fear Eater arrived at the kitchen, and he was very impressed with our survival food. He even asked some questions about the recipe, and I was pleased to see that he appreciated our efforts. Good to his word, he summoned a mighty elk and loaded it with the food, which was dispatched to Ardeleth. And if that wasn't enough, Fear Eater even gifted me a Raiton named "Springs First Kill" to use to communicate with him. It seems that this minor god is capable of intelligent speech and who knows what else. Truly, this has been a remarkable day, and I cannot wait to see what tomorrow will bring. Yours truly, Bertrum Blumenthall
