After the gorilla fight

by Daar Yarjerit

We have gathered some parts of the sigil - as well as killed the dragon who had my brother killed. We're on that track, and it is sometimes harrowing, but we have to. I hope my family and my friend's families are safe from the dragons and the cult for now. We- well, we need to go forward.
 
(previous notes that Daar looks on and ponders over :
"So many loose threads: The dracoliche in the tomb, the duchess not herself where we fought the green dragon with Ziralim who has the Kraken sword... and probably many more. checking in on the cult of the dragon in Waterdeep, hopefully that money paid for a month of trouble might be useful.")
 
The last sigil part, in Waterdeep, was... well- I was so afraid. We went into this place, full of fire and magical golems. We fought through the first part of this... well... dungeon. And then we found a way, i think the intended way to retrieve the sigil piece... but it required dealing with a creature that according to Sir Azaki was evil. He refused. I had nearly no more energy for powerful spells, but they just went in on the fight anyway... and Jay was left to die in the fiery room with numerous fire elementals and powerful magical golems. Thanks to Roshanna's initiative and quickness of action, the Efrite was called and the fight stopped. The ice shard let me create rain in that room and Sir Azaki could quickly go in to her and recall Jay's soul to her body. It was really on the edge. My brother was killed by my own unability to see that Rarak would seek vengeance. I need to be so much more careful. Some creatures are truly evil.
 
But for now it seems like we're in a better place? I don't know. We have just been to the Beastlands it seems. The place is supposed to be a place very "good" on the spectrum of the god's planes. It was- different. It felt wilder, freer... but those gorillas were still after us! They had planned to attack us and they did. I got some of them to be friendly and they eventually left. It didn't feel right to kill creatures in this good realm- well. When Roshanna got taken i still acted. She then went on to finish off the fleeing gorilla, and i couldn't let her alone in this, so i attacked that fleeing gorilla. I couldn't let Roshanna... and he was about to violent her against her will. Some of this wildness might have made me send this bolt of Oghma. I hope the Beastlands pardon me on that act. We were all very much damaged by the unfriendly ones, and retreated under the tiny hut for now. This place is scary - and to be honest, it hurts. A lot. I'm writing this with my head, but my body is aching. Blood and concussions from the gorillas' attacks have accumulated and i really need this night's rest. I guess i'll use a bit more to heal me. The cute kittycat is really cozy, especially if i use the bracelet's power beforehand. Well time to sleep.... Hmm.... ok, maybe not. Those little mounds of dirt are surely underground creatures digging. The Beastlands are a good place, but it is not the safest, I'll wake the others and maybe we should move into the material plane for the rest of the night.
