I know this is a trap

I went and talked to Imoen today and she was nice and she still thinks I'm a bad influence on Ariel though I think she turned out wonderfully, partly because of all my teachings. I really am proud of her. We talked a while longer until we reached the hall and I got involved in various discussions before finally going out to see Tal and talk to Phoenix. Tal and Neidhalt are fighting a lot and I wish they'd stop, Neidhalt seems to be way controlling and I don't think Tal likes the fact that she's having a baby.

After this I went to talk to Phoenix and Jeracon was there which is good nbecause I know this is a trap and I hoped he hadnt fallen into it yet. I wanted to go immediately once Jeracon found where Wraith's soul was being kept but as usual he thought I'd never make it there and wouldnt let me go on ahead. Then Phoenix came in and wasted even more time. I kept trying to hurry them both up because Iknew that Wraith was suffering. Phoenix said I didnt know what he felt like because I never cared for anyone like he cares for Wraith. He's so full of crap I've known her twice as long as he has and I also thought of Ariel like a daughter for a long time, or at least I cared for her like she was my daughter.

I guess that's why I got into so many fights with Velrik and Imoen over how she should be raised, especially when the disciplined her which is something I never believed in. They adopted her because I couldnt take care of her full time since I was still quite young as well and very much into adventuring, though we always did hang out together and she was learning to live on her own when I wasn't about. Heh I probably made a horrible parent, I guess I have to give it to Velrik and Imoen that they gave her a stable home, even if they were way too mean to both of us.

Ah where was I? I guess Ijust think more about Ariel since she's growing up so fast. Then again so am I! I accidentally walked into a brothel today! If my parents read this they'd probably torture me mercilessly so I'll have to hide this account well. I was looking for some people to help me save Wraith and there was a building in town with a lot of young guys hanging around and they all seemed energetic and then tired when they left. So I figured it was the adventurer's guild and went in. I asked if they could help get me together with a bucnh of adventurous young men and women and they said sure. Then I asked if they could provide us with horses and the owner looked at me weird. Finally I figured out my mistake and ran out of there as fast as I could. Not that I'm afraid of naked women or nothin, I've seen plenty of them... Well, maybe not...

Anyhow I decided that since Nic and my mom weren't around to stop me I'd go on the quest even though I have a really bad feeling about it and I do owe R a certain favor. So when Phoenix and Jeracon finally got their acts together we all took off for Kirak. We reached the secret caverns where R was hiding out in an abandoned underground village and split up. The way I went I had to fight off a ton of earth elementals and a huge water elemental that killed some orcs that were bugging me in its attempts to eat me.

So finally I met up with Phoenix and Jeracon and we infiltrated the village. It's warded against magic (which gives me an even worse feeling) except for one little part. It occurs to me that I should have left a note for my family but everyone knows I was going to save Wraith sometime, at least I hope. We're all hiding out in an apothecary's shop and that's where I write this. I really hope we all make it out ok...
