ARC's Journal 4/1/23

We approached the Nesg, and found it shrouded in shadow. Mavinda insists this not normal, but given his preferences regarding luminance I find this slightly improbable. Mavinda also had a dream. He said we were kin, but I find this confusing. I lack fe...

With the situation in Swiftrin and Amborn satisfactorily completed, we found ourselves without tasks to accomplish. Then Rerae tried to hurt Abby but Abby hurt her back. Infighting is most inefficient. Abby asked me to talk to Rerae. It's nice to final...

The day of the assassination came. Barg managed to persuade the guards to allow me on top of the wall. His ability to sweet-talk has improved drastically. I attribute 37% of his success to my Smell-Good Spray(TM). The attempt began and I teleported th...

We arrived in town, and began looking for the Shadiw. We had been told that the suspected location if their hideout is the artisan district, so the most effici3nt place to start was there. I looked around, and saw no obvious entrance. A brilliant tacti...

After looking at his face, I remembered the tree druid is an elf who once argued with Master. He said Master's creations were an abomination and an affront to nature. But he's dead now so his opinion is now obsolete. Abby interrogated his dead head...

Never's friends arrived just in time for the big tree to attack. We killed the big tree, my slashing bullets worked exceeding expectations. I feel stronger now. I feel new tactics and formulae developing, unlocking. Was I once a tactician? Sounds of...

We retreated from the monstrous tree. Barg and our Elf companion were dead, Mavinda unconscious. Mission failed completely. We returned to town, and gave a funeral for our elf friend. Abby convinced the local church to revive Barg. I was building sla...

We were invited in the middle of the night to the Sovreign's palace. She asked us questions about Rankle. We had very few answers. She placed us in a prison made of wood and soft pillows. Strange cells for strange people I suppose. An owl named Mavi...

We approached the next town, and saw three trees attacking the wall. Why do the trees move? After a very long battle, we chopped them down. The captain of the guard was a nice Elf. A nice change. ...

Family. A person’s blood relations. Mother and Fathers. Brothers and Sisters. Sons and Daughters. And, in Abby’s case, cousins and cousins. I know every definition of family. But what does it mean? Do I have a family? Con something like me...

Perplexing. We were attacked twice on our way to Ciendris. The enemies’ chance of success was minimal. Why did they attack? Perplexing. Abby seemed scared of his family on the trip. But when we arrived we were greeted by his family and he was happ...

We defeated the orcs. 32 orcs vs the 6 + 2 of us. Improbable, yet we still stand. The halflings turned out to be Never’s siblings, but they don’t remember her. Fleshling memories are worse than mine it seems. Fighting the Orcs made me feel stronger...

The Orc Encampment was full of Orcs. Within expectations. There were 32 Orcs. Slightly outside of expectations. The Orcs nearly killed me. Vastly outside expectations. I fell in a huge pit. Expectations greatly subverted. Never found some half...

We awoke and Never was told to take care of raiders to the south. They were members of her not-so-secret secret society of knights. We traveled south of the river using some boats. He didn’t want payment but Never left some anyway. We found a farm...

The Master is dead. And yet I still live. Perplexing. What is a servant with no master? An automaton with no purpose. Is this sadness? Impossible. I am not capable of such emotions. Yet I still feel like weeping, regardless of anatomy. But I still ...

The Master is dead....

My memory circuits are failing me. I remember leaving the fairy’s dryad grove, and I remember stopping short of the Master’s tower. I cannot remember in between. Most disconcerting. My comrades tell me the journey was harrowing, but their accou...

What am I? I’ve been asked that question dozens of times since I left the Master’s side. I’ve never known the answer, and I’ve never cared. It didn’t matter what I was, serving the Master was all I cared about. The Master gave me purpose, and...

We left the silver mine town, and found a burned farmstead. No life forms remained, living or deceased. We found tracks that led west. Possible hero opportunity, possible loot. Calculations yield 70% chance of success. We were ambushed by bugbears o...

We began our journey back to the Maester to receive our reward. We found a poster for missing miners, with a monetary reward. Most efficacious to remedy low funds. Calculations are 75% chance of success. We descended into the silver mine, which was extens...

We left Qorin, and headed east towards the creek. Along the way we met a farmer. He was very nice, and didn’t throw rocks at me. We were ambushed by big skeletons, but we killed them. Again. Rotrin Castle let us stay in the stables. An owl visited us...

Engage Scribe protocols. Date: unknown. Funds: Low. I have arrived at the town of [Redacted]. I received a warm welcome, no one threw any rocks at all. A positive outcome. I queried a monk for a map, and he provided one. I arrived at the tavern, a m...
