Soot's Journal: The Snowy Owlbears

5th of Alturiak, 1512 DR

After Mr. Madu came back to, he was filled with confusion! He had no memories at all of the past few days whenever we met him before the fight with Saxon. We sat him down and talked to him, and the news made him feel a bit glum, because he claimed his purpose no longer mattered...

Luckily, we managed to convince him otherwise a bit, and he agreed to accompany us to the Haunted House near the Termalaine. But first, we made our way around the Brynshander to stock up on supplies! I went back to the Black Iron Blades to complain about my broken hammer and managed to get store credit for the full price of the weapon. I told them to make me ball bearings, caltrops, ten feet of chain, a crowbar, and a pickaxe! They said they would have it by the time we were back in town.

Afterwards, we heading to a magic shop in town and I talked to them about what Sephik did to my Cloak of Protection. The shopkeep had sympathy for me, and actually gave me a replacement one for free! I gave her a bit of money as payment, and I also told her that I would recommend her shop to everyone. She also said that she would put my name on a list for any defensive or strength boosting items she may aquire!

With that, we headed off on our way to Termalaine. It was a bit of a long walk, because Mr. Madu did not have his axebeak. Along the way though, Electra started showing me a lot of cool fire magic and even enabled me temporarily to be able to breathe a dragon's fire breath! It was so incredible! I wish that I could cast magics like that... I started showing her a bit of techniques to help with her fighting too! It was nice, it feels like our friendship is finally going back to normal.

Along the way as we are practicing fire magic, I speak some command work that causes the hammer on my back to light aflame! I was so shocked and it was incredibly exciting! Eventually I figured out that the word was "Ignis", and that it improves the weapon even more than when I saw "Calor"! So exciting!

Eventually, we made it to the Termalaine, and we head off to the inn for a good night's rest.

The next morning we all awake to a letter under our doors from Electra! She decided she would host a fancy brunch for us at the tavern to celebrate getting Madu back! It was a nice meal, and she cooked everything for us. It was very kind of her indeed.

Afterwards, we hit the road again, eventually running into two Snowy Owlbears! I cast Speak with Animals to try and communicate with them, but sadly with no luck. They rushed forwards to attack but were no match for us. I easily injured one of them with a massive blow of hammer, and Electra finished it off with some fire. The rest of the group attacked the other one, and I smashed its head in with my hammer, killing it. I collected some tokens for my necklace: feathers, a beak, and a claw.

So far, the Haunted House is not yet in sight, but who knows what is to come!
