A pledge for mercy
A prayer and a pledge, in the midst of everything:
"Tyr, what do I do? How do we possibly choose between freeing the slaves we have within our power to save this very instant, and the overall struggle which we know will need settling, and that quickly? I cannot in any way see myself walking out on these people, but is that just me being selfish yet again? Am I weighing my desire to save those that I can see and touch and feel over the possible deaths of countless more? Or is it wrong to condemn someone to death when what we would possibly give up by doing that - the conch - is not final and could be also be achieved at several other places, although admittedly not as quickly?
Who do I trust to make decisions like these? Do I trust my own sense of justice (or the feelings I read as that, anyhow)? My companions, do I trust them to do the right thing? Of course I trust them to mean well, but is that enough? Since we're dependent on working as a group, is a majority vote good enough a decision? Would I even... should I..? ... trust the decision of a god, of yours? Is that all that is needed, even if it would contradict my own sense of justice?
A year ago, I thought that all that mattered was to combat the injustice. If we kill the unjust, that is enough. I was driven by hatred for my sister, it was easier. What do I do now, Tyr? What do I do?"

12:32 pm - 29.09.2019Rage
Jay hated the feeling of helplessness that surrounded the group on their flight to Silverymoon, after its panicked escape from the Eye of the All-father. Luckily, their goal wasn't just "deal with Imrith", but actually something that felt possibly within ...
05:18 pm - 26.09.2019Cultivating some hatred, some maturity
Another. Fucking. Cult. As if one crazy gang worshipping omnipotent murder-monsters wasn't enough. And they actually have a kraken. A kraken which is holding the king of giants prisoner. Jay hated this. Did she deserve it? Probably. Or, at lea...
09:46 pm - 20.09.2019What lies below
02:01 pm - 08.09.2019Hello Mystra and goodbye Tograk
Having friends around to cover your back has always made Jay a bit reckless... Strength in numbers is fine and all, but it also means that she not only risks her own life. She has to remember that, especially when it's for something as silly as *things*. ...
12:04 pm - 08.09.2019Cult or not a cult?
04:52 pm - 23.08.2019Oh Daar
Jay really wants to say something about Daar's choices and their consequences after today's great eagle-ing and almost dying... -------- but -------- ... she also knows how fun it can be to do something cool. Too bad it just doesn't always end up th...
12:02 am - 17.08.2019Cult or not a cult?
05:56 pm - 16.08.2019Between a god and me
During the flight toward Gundarlun, Jay trained most of her spare time (the rest being spent on drinking with Roshanna). What spurred her to focus more than usual on her martial skills was the uneasiness that soured the excitement from what had happened b...

02:28 pm - 19.07.2019Let's pause the dungeoneering
That latest fight was a mess, and reminded Jay of what she had thought of since joining the group she now loves so much; she needs to get better at protecting herself and others. The thrill of a close victory, sure, but one can only have so many near deat...

12:15 pm - 14.07.2019Lif and Wanterdeep
10:29 am - 14.07.2019Light
Two images popped into Jay's mind during the brief fighting with the giant spooks. First, the image of Sira Cimbar (whose picture she still had in the charm hanging below her neck), lying by the altar in that temple in Bryn Shander, an idol of Tyr clenche...
04:43 pm - 06.07.2019Distractions
Confusion. Just, general confusion. Jay had hoped she would be past that by now, having found the purpose she (apparently) had been looking for. But there were so many things to think about, still. So many choices to make. Where does one even start? Joini...
02:15 pm - 05.07.2019Lif and Wanterdeep
01:31 pm - 30.06.2019A life I want to live
Jay had not felt so elated in a long, long time. She was riding towards Kandil's hut, thinking about the earlier fight and Cat who was hopefully sleeping like a baby in her quarters. Of course she was worried about her friend's soul, she scowled when the ...
