My Lady,
I find myself trudging through the swamp heading northward to whatever I hope ails the region, in search of answers.
Last night we were set upon by some kind of reptilian creatures. Whilst unexpected that we were attacked in our bleak surroundings, there seems to be a pattern with the corpses, which were picked clean in the early hours. The ravenous hunger that I felt from the sickness is perhaps a driving force in the region?
I spoke a long time with the Tabaxi during our watch, hoping to teach him of how his antics could affect our purpose. Instead I gained some insight into his moral compass, he’s driven to remove evil and I stumbled upon more important information, whilst he had expressed in the past an affinity to hiding in the shadows, this appears to stem from some service or teachings of a Shade Temple? I am not familiar with it, but perhaps this is something that can promote more alliances between us. I showed him some of my skills in manipulating shadows, and offered to teach him some new tricks. I believe I ingratiated myself by expressing that I too walk in shadow to serve a greater purpose. He certainly could show promise, if directed properly.
I must go, a scream in the distance.
Yours
