Corim's Thoughts

Shades! What a day! It never seems to stop.

I ran into Erling this morning. He's less than half his age now. I hope the price we'll pay is worth his betrayal. Selfish old cur. At least he told me where Mount Grimmerfang is.

Slyl and I went to see this Tristan Silurien. No one seemed to be home. I thought it was a little too quiet so I found an open window and climbed in. Slyl got the door open and met me in the entryhall. Then nosy Kelestri showed up. We were standing in the open and this guy comes in and says, " What are you doing in my home?" We told him who we were and Kelestri had to take over the conversation. As if she knew what was going on! I had to mention Erling before he warmed up to us.

We went up to his workshop and he started talking( He wouldn't stop!). Someone knocked on the front door and he asked Slyl to go get his letter. I went with him in case it was a trap. We took it back upstairs and he opened it.

The next thing I remember is hanging upsidedown by a leg while Pavel carried Kelestri, Slyl, and me down the side of the house. If I knew he could do that I would have brought him in the first place.

The place was on fire and some cloaked figures were coming out of the front door. The rest of our group was fighting them. Animosus was swinging his sword around, hacking into to those cursed Baneites. They must have stolen our magic things because my swords were missing. I cracked some heads with that nice heavy mace they left me. (Thanks for the suggestion, Slyl.) We took care of them pretty fast, but they had already killed Tristan.

Animosus had gathered up all of our stolen stuff, so I got my swords and potion back.

I'm not sure why we are giving weapons to all the commoners, I don't think it will help much. But I guess that's why I'm not in charge.

Evan had that Knight give Sharisa a note, but she didn't do anything. Hmm.

I went with him, Leif, and Pavel to Beluar's Hunt Inn to see if she would show up for "dinner". She was there early. Evan went to sit with her and they talked a little.

Then all of sudden she got up and started to move toward him. He got all tensed up, like she had a knife or something. She was saying some evil sounding words and reached out her hand.

Then she touched him. His face got all pale and he leaped up swinging his fancy mace. I moved in to hit her from behind, Pavel burst in from outside, I couldn'tsee what Leif was doing, and Evan tried hit her again. He was saying something about their gods.

And then she said, "Home," and disappeared.

Evan said she had tried to kill him with a spell and that she had thrown away any chance for mercy. He seemed more sad than angry though.

We have to stop these losers of Bane.

Oh, I forgot, Slyl finally started talking. It sure does make it easier. It's about time.
