Soot's Journal: My Sister, Possessed

20th of Hammer, 1512 DR
 
Sitting outside the building, I continue in my efforts to destroy the evil spirit bag! I swiftly drop a torch to my feet and set it aflame, wrapping the bag up in my winter blanket and setting the entire composition up in burning flames, freeing my hands to smash the bag with my hammer while it burns. It felt like a really brilliant idea for me to do!
 
After a moment, Dyleth rushes outside to try and help me, and then within seconds I hear the thunderous clap of magic shaking the entire building. I knew the horrible truth immediately... Janth had control of Luna's body, and there was nothing I could do about it except destroy this bag... I called out to Dyleth and told him to do everything he could to keep the doors shut, so that she couldn't get out of the building, and I took a swing at the bag with my new hammer.
 
He tried to jam the door, but ran back saying that it couldn't be done. For once, I am not entirely sure that I believe Dyleth, I think he got kinda confused... But, he ran back and started to stab into the bag. As he did so, Luna burst out of the building, calling out to me for help, that she was injured. It destroyed my heart to see her in pain, and knowing that I could not do a thing to help her. I called out to Dyleth and Masthew to restrain her but not hurt her, and I scooped up the burning bag and began to run away.
 
Once I got some distance and figured it was safe to attack again, I dropped the bag and smacked it with my new hammer once again. After hitting it, I picked it back up, and then to my left I heard Dyleth from the rooftop! He called down and said that Luna wild shaped into a Giant Badger and was burrowing underground after me! I continued to run around the building, damaging the bag as much as possible while keeping my distance from my poor possessed sister.
 
As I came to a stop on the other side of the building, Dyleth ran across the roof and began to throw daggers down towards me in an effort to cut the bag to shreds! He almost sliced me with the dagger! So I yelled at him to be more careful, and he successfully cut the bag on his second try. He also said he would keep an eye out for the others, so that I could safely keep attacking the bag. After smashing it over and over, eventually the fire tags control of it, the magic leaving the bag, and the entire thing incinerates into a pile of ash.
 
Quickly, thinking only of Luna, I rush back around the building to check on her, and find her okay and hugging Madu! I quickly freed her from her bindings and gave her a big hug, but she shoved me off and said that I ran away when she needed me, and she left when I tried to hug her... I tried to explain that I was only helping her, but she just wouldn't listen to me...
 
As we began to talk, Dyleth gave me a big acorn sized termalaine, suggesting that it could perhaps help me bridge the gap between myself and Luna. Speaker Masthew then also told me that the command word for my hammer is "Colur", but he is not sure what else is required to set the hammer ablaze.
 
Finally, he began to speak about the lottery murders. Apparently there has been a recent murder in a nearby town, and a letter was given to Speaker Masthew, which he gave off to Dyleth. The letter read:
 
"
My victims may escape the lottery with their life,
But I fix that by taking it with my knife
This game I play is fun,
being so popular, yet known by none
I may be winning, but I am getting bored
I wish to no longer be ignored
If you would like to challenge me and my glamour,
meet me at night near dougans hole on the 21st of Hammer
-S. Kaltro
P.S. 11pm. At the tent. I don't like to wait.
"
 
We go back to the tavern and take a nice long rest. What mysteries might await us tomorrow! I will write again soon!
