On the lamb
So the queen is all mad at me over something I didnt do, namely the time i got caught asleep beside her daughter the crown princess, but we didnt do anything, honest. So she's having me hunted down but so far I've been ok. One bounty hunter came after me but Renia showed up and helped me out, and eventuially I tricked the bounty hunter and tossed her throught a portal so I could escape.
Ariel and I had a fight and she ran off... she's gotten odd all of a sudden and I need to find her soon, I'm kind of worried.
Ariels
today I got to see my sister Ariel, as well as my drow friend of the same name. The latter announced that she had to leave and go to another realm, though she did say I could come along so that's definately nice. I might go visit her but In eed to keep up with Sylnaya as well.
Ariel my sister was a little less optimistic though happy and energetic as awlays. She misses Imoen, and really so do I. We talked about old times and she ordered an ale. It was weird for m,e top see her drinking but I didnt say anything because its her choice.
More marryment
I got the strangest feeling today at my tower. You know that feeling you get when you think a relative of yours is in danger on a plane you've never been to to know about but can still locate in the multiverse? Yeah, it was that kind of feelin.
Chyler was busy looking around the medical rooms at the castle, and I figured she'd want to comb my hair or give me medicine or something before long, so it was a good idea to leave anyhow. It took me nearly ten minutes to rip open the planes in the right number of places to be able to find Athena.
When I did she seemed fine and everyone around was happy. We threatened to do awful things to eachother for a while and then went down to the streets where I met her husband sort of thing, who turns out to be Dar. I was glad to see him, especially since it appeared like he'd single handedly fought back an army that was about to attack the place we were in (whatever that is)
He put a spell on me to make me be quiet since I was bothering Athena after she threatened to pull one of Kirna's evil spells on me. I got around it and then he asked me to cut him with my sword. It seemed to help him heal in some way and I obliged. Oddly enough the wound just faded out as soon as I'd given it to him.
He and Athena had to go after that and rest, but I think I'm invited to the next battle, and if I'm not I'll see them at their wedding. And if I'm not invited to that I'm turning Athena into... into... something!
Chyler's Return
Today started out kinda bad as very good days often do. I led my rangers to Sanctuary to join in the war. Thankfully I met an old friend I knew who whung around Velrik and Imoen, Coal Locke. He told me that it was a trick to try to inflame tensions and stir trouble and that there was no war. I thanked him and we turned bakc.
I found the queen and Tool in the hall and made my report, and they both seemed disappointed there wouldnt be a war but I was really pretty happy. It was right around that time that I felt a presence I hadnt felt for so very long.
I went out to the courtyard to see, and it was Chyler! She was teh head healer in Kielder while I was very young and she always looked over me while I was sick. I was so happy to see her and she was glad to see me too, I could hardly believe she recognized me, must be the green.
Vormav, her husband, and their daughters apparently left her, so she's been lonely and I wish I had known where she was so I could have kept her comapny. I told her all about what I've been up to and showed her around the castle and then to my tower. She decided to sleep up in my room and I offered to sleep on the couch but we ended up falling asleep talking while we sat on my bed.
war, what is it good for
The queen showed up today, and though the king proved to be a decent fellow she seems to be opportunistic and callous. She even suggested razing Caernarfon! Frnakly I was appauled but still determined to join the war on the side of Kielder. I'll probably only be sending in troops aand giving aid behind the lines, but every little bit helps.
I'll also have to watch Diedre to make sure she dosnt do anything insane that would get a lot of civilians and soldiers killed. I only wish that the few friends I still know in Kielder would notice my actions. Being a hero is so little fun when noone seems to care about what you're doing.
A long time coming
I havn't been able to write for the past weeks because i've been exploring with Sylnaya and Ariel. We traveled past the door thanks to Sylnaya solving a puzzle, and then I saved us from some golems when I realized they were only attacking because we had weapons drawn.
After that we found a library full of what seemed to be every book ever, including some that had not yet been written which I saw in the future with Lexi. Anyhow, we picked that room to rest in. For once I woke before them and snuck off, but I did leave a note.
I saw Brit and she isnt doing terribly well at all though shes feisty as ever. I also saw Cinder and Sylvia which was a treat. Sylvia had to go after I had an argument with Valkryn. It wasnt really over anything, we just dont get along. He mentioned Kielder being attacksed and I plan to go aid in the war effort. It's Caernarfon that's doing it but since Morgause isnt there anymore I'm free to help defeat them.
After he left, grumpy as ever, I went with Cinder to the tavern to pay off the massive tag that Ariel and Syl had been running up. I talked with Cinder about how i planned to attack Lolth and her priestesses when they tried to sacrifice me, but now that I think about it I'm not so sure.
For one thing it'd get Ari and Syl in trouble, and I don't want to do that. I don't think they even really want to sacrifice me anyhow, but regardless I can't risk getting my friends in trouble, especially with a goddess as evil as Lolth.
The other problem is that if a dimensional rift opened to let Lolth and her minions through I'd probably have to reverse the polarity on it and summon creatures from the positive plane, and that would likely mean that many of the drow would be killed needlessly in the battle.
And nay who did survive, myself and my friends included, would be in a lot of trouble, not just hunted, but the explosion would be terrific, which is really the biggest reason. I was reading about Mystra's ascension, and discovered that there are serious consequences to killing gods, namely a massive explosion able to level whole cities. I couldnt have the blood of so many innocent drow on my hands.
So as of now the plan to attack Lolth is officially off, and I'll just have to trust to Mystra and my two friends to keep me safe from being sacrificed. Ariel I know I can trust, but I think Sylnaya is mad at me. We got in a fight in the caves and I lost my temper and ended up sending her into a wall. I wish there was some way to show her I didn't mean it... Maybe I could start another fight with her and lose!
