The Underdark

Did I write yet about my adventure in the underdark? I may have mentioned it but I figure it deserves a bit more of my time. Siona's son Rico wanted to get her attention and see the world, so I figured the best way to do that was to get into some mischief. I decided we'd head to a drow town near Menzobaranzan I wanted to steal a spellbook from.

Of course, I had to scout the area first... It seemed a grand adventure to Rico, and it was in some ways, but I figured it was safer. We journeyed down deep into the darkness and fought off a hook horror, which Rico was kind of sad about me killing, he'd kinda wanted it as a pet.

We entered the city not long after that and I had to insist that he tried to be mean or at least keep quiet... Rico isnt good at either of those things, but hes just so cute I didnt really mind, got him a couple things at the bazaar, and I got to check out the mage tower in the city. Then we talked of drow culture and Imentioned their massages and Rico was curious, so I agreed to pay for us to get one. It was as pleasurable an experience as I can think of, and with that sorted, I ported us back home. I showed up much later to raid the mage tower and steal the book when Rico wasnt about.

A quick update

A few things happened recently I feel I should note

Firstly, I've been named first wizard of Blackethorne Bluff. Nic gave me the title personally along with a piece of her famous taffy, which I think I rather liked better than the title. Ive never actually been an official wizard before. Well... there was that time when we had to set up the army to fight Wraith's friends and some demons, but that was more of a military post. Still, its a responsibility and I've been doing my best to keep everyone safe and happy.

Speaking of, someone tried to kill Nic recently. Luckily her son and I were both there. I used a stoneskin spell to save her and we both went after the assassin. I hate to say it but he was probably better with a sword than I am, so it was lucky I got infront of him to delay him and let Macleod come in and take him down. He's off in the dungeons now waiting to be questioned or executed.

And Nic must be popular lately because her and my sister were attacked by bandits in the forest. Some of my rangers were on hand to save the day though, but the bandits escaped. Athena had a nasty bump on the head and I sat with her in the infirmary til we knew she would be ok. We really need to get after the outlaws soon, I'm thinking my apprentice Maya might be some help with finding their hideout. Oh yeah I have an apprentice now, did I mention that?  She's great!

Siona's also staying over while she's in Blackethorne. We talked tonight and it made me feel nostalgic and pull out the old diary to write a bit more. I also promised her to get Rico a diary to write in as well, but I'm going to enchant the heck out of it.

Speaking of, me and Rico had some adventures in the underdark, I'll have to write about that later though!
