Fennel the Elf

 26 Eleint, 1489 DR


     Finally arrived into the town of Phandalin. Took forever to arrive, or at least it felt like it took forever with those three talking up a storm. Sadly my traveling companions are Togar (Half Orc), Mirbella (Halfling), and the stupid fox Kaleb. I have been forced to take them to a wedding for Kaleb's cousin. I have no reason to go. It's not like I even know her, but I was slightly swayed by the idea of free food and work opportunity.

     As we exited my traveling house, a human woman (with quite the figure) held up a sign with Kaleb's name on it. Kaleb was not pleased to see her and I felt quite happy seeing how miserable he was. Her name was Corwinna and she was sent to escort Kaleb to the wedding so he couldn't bail.

     After all that was said and done we ran into a Dwarf named Amber (she looked pretty bad ass ) and her adventuring companion, Poppy, an Elf of all things. Poppy and the Halfling, Mirbella, seemed to get along well considering their obnoxiously happy personalities. I personally want nothing to do with any of them, especially the Elf.

     We all apparently were flat broke (and still needed to buy wedding gifts) so we decided to find some work. We found a quest board and headed off to some Dwarven excavation sight to warn the Dwarves working there of a dragon sighting in the area. Arriving, the Dwarves asked if we could clear the site of some oozes inside the temple. We agreed and took them out with ease. The others wanted to look around a bit more and of course got themselves into trouble. Kaleb was stupid (as always) and practically got himself, Mirbella and Poppy killed. With both our healers down for the count, I, Doctor Fennel, was their last resort.

     I used my newest concoction to heal them a little but left Kaleb unconscious. No one seemed to be against the idea since this was all his fault. Togar carried his limp body out and we all headed back to Phandalin. The others found a barn to spend the night in as Poppy eagerly went to hunt us some food. Togar, Amber and Corwinna decided to go along with her as Mirbella and I baby sat Kaleb's (still) unconscious body.

     When they arrived back I ate and hurried off to my traveling house. I had far too much research to do. Finding the cure is more important than chatting away with everyone else, and as an Elf myself, I seem to always have plenty of time on my hands.

     Interestingly enough, just received a knock at my door. One of my fairy helpers said no one was there, but there was a small bundle of herbs and a poppy flower connected to it. I have come to the conclusion that it could be from no one but that Elf woman. What is she trying to pull? I suppose the herbs are appreciated but I don't care about whatever game she's trying to play.

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. ...
