Planar play time!

So, there's been a lot going on the past three days. Only now do I really have the will to set it all down. To start off with I began my quests to hell gate keep, freeing a few imprisoned sun elves and getting some intelligence and a place to stay when I was there.

In the bad news though, Marquie abandoned me, something she said she'd never do. She acted as though my disapproval of Zodiac was based on jealousy or something. She never even considered that it hasn't even been a month and she's already engaged to the bastard and pregnant with his worthless spawn. I wish I could have asked R to kill him when she offered, it would have made things so much simpler, but I knew Marquie would be sad, and there's no more point anyhow. She's grown up now and too old for me, just as I figured. She actually said that Starshine could replace her, as if it was that simple.

One thing Star has done is bring some light into my life, even though everyone else seems to be mad at me. She really is an incredible person and I hope she remains as she is for a long time. It's no fun when things change. She tried to get a job at the tavern and ended up cursing like a sailor, I tried to get her to take a job in a somewhat more respectable business but it's her choice. I think she'll do all right regardless..

Then again maybe I was wrong. After my second foray into Hell Gate Keep to steal an item of some minor importance just to see if I could do it I found out she'd been kidnapped. I lost the trail soon after the river and sent my familiar to find her. I saw Athena and asked her for help but she had to disappear. I decided to try to focus on my main mission and check back in later that night.

I ended up calling an extra planar being, using a time stop spell, and almost creating a low grade mythal just to find the gatekeeper's crystal, but I did get it and after a protracted battle with one very determined demon elf I got on Star's trail and found she'd been taken by a black dragon.

He claimed her as his mate and I told him I'd kick his ass, you know, the usual stuff. He let me take Star home which was kind of odd so I didnt end up fighting him, though I did sense Valkryn's presence, plotting something strange no doubt. I just hope he dosnt find out I have the crystal.

I ran into Baeryne and R as well, but Baeryne let me run away in amusement and R seems somehow broken. All in all it's been a productive, though sad, period for me.
