Gold for All

 28 Eleint 1489 DR


     Was able to help heal up some people in town and got paid. It was nice to not have to kill a bunch of monsters for coin. Adventuring isn't really my thing. Of course though, the others were ready for the next job so we set out to Butterskull Ranch. We ran into some horses and a cow near the abandoned town of Conyberry. Mirbella and Togar tied them up and brought them a long as we reached the ranch. The ranch was infested with orcs but luckily for us we had Togar to translate.

     Apparently the dragon in the area is taking orc territory and driving them out to civilization. Togar was able to talk his way through the ranch house until we found the rancher, Big Al. Togar got the orcs to leave and Al gave us his famous butter skulls as a reward. He also told us of a rumor about a huge pile of gold hidden in an abandoned temple south of Conyberry. We decided to check it out.

     The temple was surrounded by orcs so we snuck in and found a small stash of silver and a strange key. Inaa, the Tiefling, flew up to the bell on the ceiling and found out it was covered in copper paint. The bell itself was actually pure gold! Inaa flew Mirbella up, cut the rope down, and Togar caught it from below.

     We brought the bell back to Phandalin and sold it for 2,500 gp! We're rich! Kaleb hugged me and I honestly didn't even care. Coin blinds you sometimes. So with our wallets full we had an expensive meal at the Inn. It felt so good to eat something other than herbs and vegetables for once. 

     As long as I keep getting coin I don't mind driving everyone around as much. I can buy some new books and hopefully get new info for my potions. Don't let anyone say money can't buy you happiness because I'm feeling quite happy for the first time in a while.

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. ...
