The Book Thief



22 Eleint 1489 DR


It was nice waking up in a soft bed with Cwl by my side. Cwl doesn't sleep so I'm sure nights are boring for him, at least now. Not sure what he did before I came around. He does hum a tune that helps me drift off to sleep though. He's done it ever since that first night in the ruins. I wonder of he just hums all night.

Anyway, the peace was destroyed when Rain barged into my room. Cwl quickly turned back into his owl form but Rain must have saw something 'cause she started questioning me about him. I figured it was time to explain that he's actually a spirit that makes deals with Shifters. That seemed to hold her off for now.

We also went to meet some lady knight named Alayed Burrell who's apart of some group in the city called "The Black Fists". Apparently, this group had gotten pretty corrupt so she asked to help find some missing books. We went to the library and got some info from a Halfling named Carre and made our way to the Podol Plaza to meet three people. They explained that the books were stolen, blah blah.

After all the talk of some magic book about the source of all magic (I almost fell asleep) we ended up getting jumped by three weirdos. We took them out fairly easily and got info out of the main dude. Heading back to the library to confront the Halfling librarian, Winny dressed up as the guy we took out and Catscratch mimicked his voice to say, "It is done."

This scared the Halfling more than anything else and she called the guards on us. We got rid of the cloak and pretended like Rains plan didn't make a Halfling librarian cry in pure terror.

Now we're waiting to see the head librarian to get more clues on who stole the books since we figured it was an inside job. Just gotta wait.

The Redbrands

13 Alturiak 1489 DR Today we decided to do some shopping. Catscratch went off on his own to who knows where while Luna and I visited the Shrine of Luck. Luna gave a coin in hopes for some good luck. If she wants to waste her coin on such things, by all means. But luck isn't going to help you survive in this world. Catscratch quickly appeared before us and even brought someone I've never seen before, a tall cat with a leafy looking cloak. A Tabaxi, I believe they're called. She introduced herself as Rain and told us she had also been hired but was running late. She was asking around town for Gundren but found out about him missing. We decided to deal with the Redbrand situation once and for all after hearing how they were kidnapping people from the town. Once inside the hideout, we were separated when the floor collapsed from underneath us. Luna and I were on one side, Catscratch and Rain on the other. We reluctantly decided to split up. I was honestly a little worried a...

The Book Thief (Part 2)

22 Eleint 1489 DR We finally met up with the head librarian and he told us about some of his staff missing. He told us to check the archives since that's where the two were suppose to be on duty today. The archives were huge but we found the area. We were too late once we noticed the dead body hunched over a table with piles of books. We did notice two of the books that were stolen were now open on the table with pages ripped out about the Pool of Radiance. Suddenly, a shockwave and rumble rang through out the archives as all the book cases toppled over. A hole was blown into a wall and we went to investigate. We found a room with old, burnt, books and were attacked by shadows. Luna was downed quickly while the rest of us finished them off. With Luna back on her feet, we hurried through another hole in the wall and ended up in the sewers. Luna caused these giant centipedes to fall asleep as we snuck by. After two hours of walking we ended up in the mouth of a cave and in the middle...

Fairy Dust

30 Alturiak 1489 DR We've finally reached Red Larch. I was pretty familiar with the area since it's so close to the city of Yartar and, well, my ruins. We decided to help out some guy by killing wolves for pelts. As we entered the Krypt Garden Forest, we ran into a small pixie named Quill and his hedgehog steed Spike. This pixie wanted us to help him find a magical well that apparently heals any mounds. His wings were broken so he was hoping to get them fixed. We agreed to help in the morning as Quill lead us to the fairy trees. Small houses hung from branches. This was my first time ever seeing fairies before and never knew if they truly existed or not. I did barter for a rune stone. Pretty sure I got fire. Time to camp out. Guess I have first watch. In the morning we headed off deeper into the forest. It was darker and quieter, even with the sun high in the sky. Kinda reminded me of the forest surrounding the tribe. Theres nothing to fear in the dark, I've found out. ...
