Back in Waterdeep
So, Bree gave us a lift to Mirabar so we could drop of The Weevil/Snailman and get our reward. I have not seen so much money in my entire life! Or, maybe I have, but I have not owned so much money! Apparently I’m rich now. Should see if I can send some to mom. From Mirabar we teleported back to Waterdeep to seek out the old Amarath location. It feels nice to be in a city again! Ok, Mirabar was a splendid city, but dwarves have a tendency to make you feel unwelcome. Waterdeep feels more… accepting.
We made our way to the house, which turned out to be an old tavern. It hadn’t been a tavern back when Amarath owned the place, apparently. The neighbor, Fala, an elvish herbalist told us the last owner of the tavern had died some 20 years ago. Apparently drank himself to death. Someone had tried to open it later, but didn’t dare because of ghosts and sold it to Volothamp Geddard.
I teleported inside just to check it out, and it seemed indeed to be haunted.
We went to Waterdeep palace to see if we could sort out the ownership thing. It was so boring I can’t remember what was being said, but we went to seek out Volo at the Yawning Portal. I’ve been there before a long time ago, but the place haven’t changed a bit (or maybe it wasn’t that long ago, I’m not sure anymore). Volo agreed to hand over the ownership to us if we helped him figure out some information of the ghost. Volo was accompanied by Raenar Neverember, a rather handsome and jovial fellow. I followed him home for some much needed sex. He wasn’t half bad either, and the sheets were really nice.
Next day we set out to do bureaucracy. It was immensely boring, but now Daar owns a house and we are also allowed to use magic in Waterdeep. Jay said a weird thing, something in the line of “I don’t use magic, like normal people.” I know I’m pretty weird, but I felt called out. It’s something else to be called “not normal” by someone you actually like. It kind of stuck to me, and I might have been drinkin a bit too much when we went back to “our” tavern and got served drinks by the ghost there. Apparently it’s the ghost of the former owner, Lif, who was a workoholic and thereby abandoned by wife and kids, after which he supposedly drank himself to death. It seems he wants to keep the tavern open at all costs and we’ve been discussing if we could hire someone to run it. I’ll ask mum if she knows of anyone trustworthy who would like to move to Waterdeep and doesn’t mind ghosts.
After Daar stole my intoxication we went to the temple/library of Oghma. They have a talking floor, but that was the most interesting part. We spent weeks reading (Jay claims it was hours but I’m pretty sure she was pulling my nose) and I haven’t been so bored since XXX had me read “The history of Neverwinter”. Anyway, I had a chat with Jay as well, and called her out on the “normal” thing. She apologized, and explained she thought the world deeply unfair since some people had magic and some people don’t. I think the world is unfair in general, so why get stuck on it? Some people live centuries and some decades. But I believe she meant no harm. She is very young after all.
When I had almost died of boredom we continued to read a bit more, and then went to check out Jays old hideout. The writing she had found there was gone, but apparently something called Xanathar’s guild had been more active lately, a fact Daar’s brother confirmed.
Then we went to seek out a contact of Jay’s, at “The Hanged man” - a bar I think I have visited at some point long ago. He was obviously distressed, cornered by a bunch of card players. I sat down to play with them while the others tried to stay inconspicuous. I messaged Chase and told him I was with Jay and tried my best to flirt with him so he would have a good reason to leave. I might have overdone it a bit, but the man’s got gorgeous hair.
Anyway, there was a lot of talking then. Smiling Chase didn’t know much about Jay’s friends, but he knew where we could find some Xanathar-people and how we could get to Skull port, which apparently is a hidden city(?) beneath Waterdeep - how cool is that?
I couldn’t fail to notice Jay mention some “ship business” to Chase. I had the strongest feeling she didn’t use accurate wording, maybe particularly in my company. I think I need a long talk with her about what I think of sabotaging seafarers.
During the talk Daar really tried her best not to divulge any information or ask any questions. I thought she might explode at some point, and I could bet my boat on that she turned blue trying to constrain herself. She really is adorable.
Something hit me as we were walking - I feel more grounded when in the city. My friends don’t look at me weirdly as often, and I feel more like the person I was before I met Denyeses. I miss him though, I miss him so much it hurts. He’s been a part of me for so long, and it feels odd not having to think of what he would want. I’m not sure I like it or not. Both mother and Jay have expressed our relationship might not be very healthy. I can see why they would say that. But I love him very much, and he loves me fiercely, there’s no doubt about that. Sure, I might have agreed to doing things I’d rather had skipped, but how can something be wrong when it is done out of love? And he always kept me safe.
Oh, and Narvi found his way back to us!

The major events and journals in Roshanna's history, from the beginning to today.
Long due update
Well... It has happened quite a lot since. I guess I really haven't had the time for writing. But now I have a bit of a quiet time taking watch with sir Azaki. He noticed me crying and asked if there was something I wanted to talk about. I guess I wanted ...
08:34 pm - 15.03.2020Old friends and new leads
Haven't touched this journal in over a year. I guess it's easy to forget when you don't have Daar around you constantly, reminding you of good it is for your mind to write down your thoughts. I guess she's right, though. Still I enjoy writing as much as I...

01:47 pm - 06.10.2019Undergrounded
Why do we always end up underground? I hate it! I hate it so very much, it makes me feel sick and like the walls will fall in on me any second! We went to Felbar, a weird city with roads built high up leading to the city gate. Since Rindha had sent a mess...
05:49 pm - 04.10.2019Losses and gains
Well bloody hell… We went to the oracle and got our leads. Apparently the conge of teleportation isn’t one only, but there are several spread among giants. Makes sense I suppose. So we have three choices. One in the throne room with the frost giants o...

12:32 pm - 29.09.2019Confusion and abandonment
We went to check out the cultists place. Daar transformed into a giant eagle and I rode her. Apparently giant eagles are automatically seen as hostile by these people and we were attacked. The others came to our rescue, but it was a close call. We scouted...

So we went off to Gundabar. I tried to spend as much time as possible on deck - when I went inside in those small crammed spaces I immediately felt like I had an ancient fort pressing down on me. I had a talk with Jay about it, which turned into a discuss...

01:33 pm - 11.08.2019Burials
So... uhm... I'm alive. Guess that's something. We went down again. Daar might have been right to hesitate, but I'll never tell her that. We found a couple of ghosts first. They scared me a bit, because they caused a lot of damage, but it turned o...

10:29 am - 14.07.2019Bloody hell, I'm tired. And I need a drink.
09:38 pm - 04.07.2019Ups and downs
I have so many feelings I don’t know how to express. I went to buy an actual dress, a kind I felt very pretty in at Denyeses’ court. I didn’t find really what I was looking for, so I bought some fabric to fashion myself another kind, without seams. ...

10:31 pm - 23.06.2019Slime, devils and souls
So, the good news is that we found Jay's old friend Cat and killed an evil slime blob of death or whatever it was called. The bad news is we probably pissed of an Erinyes who wanted it alive. The devil went through the portal to the Nine Hells (Cat, the m...

06:10 pm - 23.06.2019Fighting madness
We lost the pit fight. But I'm sure we weren't far off taking out that ogre. And the crowd seemed satisfied with us nonetheless. But ouch, he hit hard, I think those bruises might be permanent! Anyway, we got the attention of some dude working for Xan...
03:27 pm - 22.06.2019Under Waterdeep
08:52 pm - 14.06.2019Under the sea
After we met with the giants we informed the Watch, and also Daar charmed us in to an audience with Laurel Silverhand. We told her of what we learned and of our plans. We were asked to oversee the giants so they don’t mash the city while they do their m...

12:13 pm - 19.05.2019Giant castle in the clouds
Trying out a new spell, I summoned a horse so Jay and I could get a bit faster to our destination. We got a few looks, and Jay reminded me that horses usually aren't mint green or have two horns. Huh, I must have forgotten. It was a nice horse thing anywa...
08:12 pm - 18.05.2019Of goblin kissing and brain eaters
So we decided to check out the supposed hideout for Xanathar's Guild. With Chase's directions it wasn't too hard to find. Why do creepy people _have_ to hide out in the sewers, though? Can't they find a less smelly place?! Anyway, I ran around like a mani...
07:25 pm - 18.05.2019Elks, and some dancing
It’s been a weird couple of days. It feels good to have dropped “the order” off at that house. Honestly, they make me feel uneasy. Silas is ok, I guess. I think it’s all this secrecy and information gathering I don’t really get. I just don’t u...
