Scattered Notes

by Gimizh Crystalgleam

On Gimizh's shelf lies a vast array of notes, drawing, sketches, small figurines and plants, homework that has yet to be started and homework that are yet to be finished, and a little carved bowl where Pebbles rest neatly. Under half a dozen detailed sketches of a stone golem lie their forgotten journal, left there days earlier as they tried to figure out how to begin their projects.
 
Last Journal Entry, Friday
We got money! Hah! I have done my very first QUEST! In fact, I'd go as far as to say we have done several quests in one day. Thuersdai asked if we, the Moths (workshopping a team name, i hope they want to stick around with me, I am so so fond of them both) would join her to town. Which was perfect! I need materials, a quarry and a gemstone, and both Thursdai and The Morgan had business too. The bookstore had really great books about self-improvement! And, and I got myself some nice parchment which i can use to design my newest invention (just you wait to see it! i have the plan to make a golem as described in Adas Crystalgleam's old texts). Witchy didn't have money however to pay for the books, so we had to go look for money. We OH I FORGOT THE SMITHY we went to a smithy first, and there i got a whole spool of copper wire! it'll be really useful to make my homunculis - and the Bronze dragon shopkeep was NOT related to the school - do you think I can shape copper wire to be like a flower? I might have to re-melt it first actually, and then shape it. Oh no i might need more copper... oh! and Thuersdai got some wicked necklace thing, she is making this awesome looking thing with the fangs of the Deathworm we fought a few weeks ago!
Anyways the quest - we found the place where they keep quests and stuff, like, proper good old fashioned out-of-a-story-book questboard. We found a quest... to rescue the pig! or, rather, FIND THE MISSING PIG - which was very fun, and it paid 100 gold pieces! We went looking and found the owner on his farm and he pleaded us to look. It lead us to a graveyard... where the pig was in a hole and a SKELETON KILLED ME (or tried to at the very least, i don't actually know how the fight ended but Thuersdai and The Morgan were tense when i woke up. They say such weird things though. And they think i am important. (more important than a pig, at least) and i love them a lot and I hope they become friends fast and then The Morgan took me back home. He is sweet.)
We saved the pig, killed three skeletons, got the money and Thuersdai got her book. Victory!
Good night, Journal! I'm going to play with Pebbles until I fall asleep. Tomas gets cranky when i fidget with the papers.
