Mirtul 6
Selune be praised! I watched as the undead melted before the upraised symbol of my faith. Their corrupted forms could not stand Her holy power. We have delved into Iroth's old mine and found horrible things. A ruined wagon warned us outside, of the things that dwelt within. A Banelar, foul serpentine servant of Bane, and a brain eating Illithid. A vile sickness overcame me in the battle with the Banelar, it was all I could do to crawl to the battle to aid those who could fight. Mithinu has finally earned her place today, with the well placed ball of fire Corim has been craving. She undoubtedly saved us much woe by incinerating that swarm of freakish rats. I wonder how they live with their brains exposed to the air. A strange shape-shifting creature caught Slyl. We managed to subdue it, gain valuable information, pilfer it's treasure, and free Slyl. I have liberated six holy symbols of Selune, Pavel is holding onto the symbols of some other Deities that were there as well. I have by chance aquired Sharisa's journal. I did not know how right I was about her. Perhaps there is hope for her. Selune shine the light of hope on her that she may see redemption. I still will not have any mercy if she attempts to hurt any of us. There is much to learn in this journal as well, that is, if it has not been planted here to misguide us. Selune give me wisdom.
Mirtul 5
I am officially now a member of "The Company of Light and Darkness." One thing that puzzles me is that the one I had thought to be a leader in this group is now gone. Animosus has declined membership in this company. It seems that his need to be a leader of men outweighs his need to do goodly acts. That is unfortunate, his skills and bravery will be missed.
We have gained a companion, a Moon Elf by the name of Mithinu. She is very pretty, I hope that her skills as a mage match her appearance. She seems to be quite reserved.
Again, it has been a very full day( I think this may be a regular occurrence for TCLD). We met two travelers on the road to Falcon. The peddler Igor, and a roadside prophet of Beshaba. I dismissed her dire predictions and advice to pray to her fickle goddess. I trust Selune to watch over me and do not need to beg the Maid of Misfortune for favors.
In Falcon we saw more of the handiwork of the followers of Bane. The temple of Lathander had been attacked, it's priests killed. A foul undead was left there to cause hurt to the unwary. I, with Selune's power, was able to corner the monster while Kelestri and Slyl dispatched it. We returned to The Deepfires Inn to find that our mounts had been "liberated." Corim was almost lost in rage. He went so far, I learned later it was him, as to cause darkness to envelope the inn. We caught the guilty party and his conspirator quickly, and recovered all but two of our horses. Thank Selune that I found Warah, my traveler, my friend on the road.
Between Falcon and Iroth we ran into a Giant. It was Leif's quick use of a spell that left it laughing uncontrollably and allowed us our escape. We luckily avoided a second encounter with it's companions. They are in league with the Baneites.
We are now waiting until morning to descend into Iroth. I am to have the last watch with Corim. I think he is becoming a follower of the Moonmaiden, he asks enough questions.
I hope the morning brings better fortune to our little Company. Watch over my new friends, my Goddess, they are good folk and I believe we can all make a difference.
