By the Book

by Nepheri

Our plans all get in the way of each other it seems. We were going to seek out the woman about some more drugs. Then we got sidetracked. Again. Dworik had been at the Temple of the Harvest before and been instructed to perform a service as a thank you for their aid. Delivering a package. Which seems incredibly menial in return for healing...
 
At least Rupert is awake again. And suitably confused and embarrassed. I'd feel sorry for him if it wasn't for how he really needs to learn to keep to reality. Seems he just goes back to drinking, however... We need to have a serious talk with him about this...
 
We went to the building to which Dworik had delivered his package. Turns out it's some kind of asylum called the Silent House. From what I've been told following the attempt by our dwarf and human to scout ahead: a) Rupert completely ruined his and Dworik's cover, and b) those running the place don't seem like horrible people at first glance. Something is really weird...
 
Contemplating what weird in particular they might be up to, we went to a nearby tavern... Something that led to an assault in an alleyway by someone named Mahry and her friend wrapped in shawls and fabric. Turns out they were the ones who had that instruction on how to make golems. Which makes me want to hurt them. But a fight became avoidable as I convinced them to follow us to Blackstaff Tower.
 
So, the question of who book it actually belongs to was left to them to sort out while we got paid. Which resulted in more drama than I expected. Ellywick wanted a spell performed on her pet squirrel, Chickiwick, to make him into a fully intelligent and aware person. Which is an interesting prospect. And... I can't say no to her. She's my... friend. So. Yeah. We'll see how this goes. Looking forward to meeting you, Chickiwick.
