Starfall

On the way to our next destination, Starfall, my ankle was healed by a gnoll. First time for everything, I guess! He seemed particularly close to Bruze. I should should find a book about Bruze's strange moon religion, I would be remiss if I ignored figuring out why he can cover himself in stone armor... and conjure fire.
 
As soon as my ankle got better, things got worse for me! We found a dead traveler who was killed by bandits, who worshipped a necromancer at large during the endless night. Apparently said necromancer is going to be reborn in Starfall, which I suppose could be a problem.
 
This corpses personal effects included a wonderful dagger inset with a beautiful gemstone, which upon encountering a group of bandits I used to fight. The dagger didn't like that and I was promptly cursed immediately. My veins turned black, and supposedly a shadow will be tearing it's way out of me soon. Don't like that.
