Spice and all things nice

Hi Ma
 
I have this magical spice pouch and every time I say the name of a spice, I can grab a pinch of it. I have been saying cinnamon a lot because it brings back fond memories of you (and makes me crave pancakes).
 
I made some more memories in Greyhawk with the Blades. We did a bonding over pain exercise at the tattoo parlour and I got two tattoos. I was a little nervous and wanted to ask one of the guys to hold my hand, but they would probably (definitely) have laughed at me. One tattoo says, "Your song is finished but your melody lingers on". I will always remember you and Jer fondly, but the pain of your loss seems to be mostly gone. My other tattoo (in Elvish) represents the journey I am on but, according to Lhoris, it may not have the meaning I intended. It does not matter though. I do not need a reminder that I am enjoying myself.

Today we fought a lounge of Lizardfolk. Lhoris and Doc went off to save the people in the tower by themselves and the rest of us headed for some troops we could see. I can only assume Lhoris and Doc did admirably cause when went we went back to the tower, we saw lizard bodies splattered everywhere. A lot of them had tiny hammer mark indentations.
 
Mizzlyn literally punched a bunch of Lizardfolk to death with his fists. He is fast and lethal. He is definitely the person to have around in tavern brawls. I have never been in one but, with this group, it is just a matter of time.
 
Arman has serious magic! While I was concentrating on one lizard at a time, he just zapped a bunch of them. He killed the chieftain in a tidal wave(!!) to stop him from escaping. It hit me too, but I hope I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and that it was not intentional. Or maybe he thought I could handle it, which is flattering. I am not sure how these group dynamics really work, but it did seem like Arman broke group code today by sneaking in and taking the final blow on Viridian's main target. I should give Arman a heads up that Viridian is pissed, but I am still soaked and grumpy.
 
After the battle was done, Viridian and I looted the bodies, and I found this fancy dagger. I have no idea what it can do, but I will find out the next time I need to stab something. I feel like it may be special enough to deserve a kickass name.
 
On a high after the battle, I agreed to play strip poker with Viridian. I had barely drawn the cards when Viridian was completely naked and heading back to the others. I am not too sure he knows the rules of the game.
 
Right now, the Blades are resting and catching their breath. Lhoris wants to explore some more, so I invited myself along so I can spend more time with him.
 
Love
Kit, Carrot, Vera and Boo
 
PS My training with Carrot went well today. He started biting Vera and Boo, so I have separated them. During the battle, I had Carrot in a pouch under my cloak and kept feeding him bits of dried beef I had stashed in my pocket. He still bites and draws blood, but I do not think his heart is completely in it anymore.
 
If we have time, I am going to ask one of the guards in the tower if they have any children at home that would love to care for a rabbit and a guinea pig. I fear I am going to get them killed and disappoint Viridian. I think he would be ok with me finding a good home for them.
