Meeting Alias

Today I met Alias, a friend of Valkryn's. She seems pretty nice and we talked for a while and educated Brit about the Drow. I recently helped save Brit from a demon and now she's all worried about ever being captured again. I tried to tell her that it was perfectly natural to be captured if you were an adventurer but she was having none of it. I also saw Jules who still hasnt seen her mom unfortunately or fortunately, I kinda see it both ways.

Damned demons!

Today I exploired some secret passages in the castle with Melyna trying to find out where the queen is always sneaking off to and we nearly got in a bunch of trouble. Melyna got a bit scared after that and had to scamper off, and it was then that I noticed Brit was around.

I wnet to say hi and she had turned into a half feral cat form and didnt even know me, though she was starting to get through it. Demons had done it to her and even put a damned collar on her neck. I tried to rip it off but it was hell forged and I only got some serious burns on my hands.

Phoenix eventually showed up and between the two of us we got the collar off her and blew it up and got her back to normal, though she was really tired from the ordeal and had to go to sleep.

Kirna's visit

I was stuck in the med rooms today again, as I have been for a while now. It's so lonely and quiet but I know I have to stay here until I'm called back to Kielder or at least am spoken to by the queen here. I've had my fill of running for several lifetimes and I almost feel as though I should settle down.

While I was thinking such thoughts my older sister appeared to torment me. She talked about how sad I was being kept here as easily as I could escape, but I couldnt tell her that the reason I was staying was that there was nowhere else to go.

After a while Tool appeared and began to try to kill a few people in the room. I got up from my bed and managed to save all of their lives and stood between him and them as a wall. He claimed it was some kind of act of mercy for the sick, the altruism of like I can never understand. Kirna was also about to get upto something but I sent her flying into the wall with enough force to kill a man.

Tool, seeing the guards summoned, fled and Kirna shook off my blow like nothing. She decided not to take revenge yet and we talked a bit longer. She wants me to get some information on Tool for her as he seems to have caught her interest, I just might do that I suppose.

Issuance

Today was a good day. I met a very nice fae who seemed overly interested in me and ended up healing all my wounds. Unfortunately I told her my love was for Lady Mystra alone and she scampered off in tears. She got herself caught in a spider's web and I had to rescue her.

After that I met Nadia, my aunt from long long ago in Kielder. She wasnt really my aunt but she and my mom were like sisters and she and I always got along well since we were both trouble makers. SHe's left Kielder as well and we talked for a while before she went to bed. It was so great to see a loving familiar face again.

On a different note I found a messanger who can get to Elijah Douglas and deliver my challenge. I'm anxiously awaiting his reply...

Returning

I've had a wonderful idea. I decided to challenge Elija, one of Nic's kids who's rebelling against her kingdom and trying to usurp her throne. I think I'll send him a challenge to a fight to the death. I can't kill him of course but if I beat him up maybe it'll get Kielder's attention and they'll let me go home. It's been so long now...

Today was a typical day in DSH. Noone came to see me but Braith and even the queen's forgotten I exist here, stuck in the med rooms and miserable. I used to be someone. I used to be a hero... Damn it.

Payback time

So today I chatted with Alana and told her about the magical arts and stuff. She was really attentive and curious, and it kinda made me wander what I'd have been like if anyone had ever tried to teach me magic. Imoen was supposed to but she just disappeared instead...

Soon Alana had to retire so I slipped out of the med rooms by tricking some guards and went to find Valkryn, who I had sensed in the woods. Instead I only found Harmony, the same shifter who had put me in the med rooms. But this time I had the strength to transform to my red dragon form and used dragon gaze to get her to promise not to harm other people in the forest. Her friend Dante appeared inexplicably and scratched my tail a bit and made a great deal of noise until I flew off, my work finished for the day.

Wedding! Friends! Vampire!

Today, like yesterday, was passed in the medical room. Oh man I hate it there. The nurses constatly poke and prod at me and I even get bathed regularly, although being able to eat and sleep again is good. I dread what will happen when the queen finally has time to deal with me though.

I did manage to sneak out once to attend a wedding, Anika decided to marry someone and I wanted to pop in. Turns out it was Elija, the former Black Watch commander from home. At the wedding I met Alana, who it turns out is one of Xavier's younger daughters. She told me that Grace died recently and that cast kind of a darkness over things, though I was happy to meet someone from back home.

She helped me back to the med room after scolding me for leaving and then a vampire popped up from the future. I dont know what it is about vampires from the future but they just love me. She wants to ressurect the evil one who created her breed so I'll likely have to chat with her when I'm well.

She got me pretty worked up but Alana was there and as soon as the vampiress left she nad I both fell asleep. All in all I guess it was a good day. Alana seems like a really interesting person despite not being learned in matters of magic. I'm always glad when fate allows me to teach someone about the wonders of Mystra.

a very bad day

Today just keeps gettign worse. I was trying to get a nap in an abandoned farm house but Siona showed up. At first she seemed really nice and wated to help me out but then her boyfriend or whatever came along and they both started yelling at me. Before long I had to flee my adopted shelter since I couldnt fight htem.

I went into the forest to rest but some damned shapeshifter decided to pick a fight and very nearly killed me. The damned creature didnt even stop when I played dead. Luckily Fearesnida was around and made it stop, but unluckily he transported me to the med room in the castle afterwards. I'm not sure how I'm going to get out of this one...

Escape time!

I dont quite know how long I've been eluding the queen and her guards but it's been a while. They sent out what musth ave been two brigades to capture me tonight and managed to catch me up a tree. Luckuly the tree was large and I set up a cloak of mine wrapped in s ticks on the one side and threw my voice (a skill I learned that has often come in handy) the result was that when I pulled a strike the form seemed to fall and the soldiers gathered under the far end of the tree to capture me. During this time I managed to escape them.

Of course thrilling escaped are my fortee. Its the running I dont think I can stand. Ariel's mad at me, Imoen and Velrik have abandoned Ariel and consequently myself, Kielder remains shut to me, and the other Ariel now has her own realm to look after as well. The loneliness of constantly escaping is starting to get rather painful and I almost hope to be captured at times. Ah, what am I talking-- madness I'm sure.
