Soot's Journal, Session 3

We fought a massive construct today! It was a giant rock snake, powered by some kind of gem and filled with some strange sort of meat. The fight was closer than I would have liked, I struggled to hit the construct as often as I would have personally liked, and my friends got very badly hurt during the fight, both Talia and Lee were knocked down to the floor, and I was worried that they might have died. Thankfully, they didn't take any lasting damage! In the future I must take greater care in landing my blows, the quicker I can deal with such threats, the safer everyone will be!
 
On the plus side, after the fight I found some stone plate armour, something that everyone allowed me to take. It took some time to attach it to my body, but now that it's done I should be able to face a lot more damage than I used to! The armour is rather heavy but luckily my frame has been reinforced to carry much more weight than others might be able to. Another bit of good news is that I found quite a few aether crystals, so I won't have problems in keeping myself powered for quite a long time!
 
It was a worrying day, but all in all, we learned a lot, and I think, became better for it!
