Even More Introductions

by Keth Ravenwood

Well, it looks like the Redcloaks will no longer pose a threat to us or the town, which is good. And that eye monster is dead. Unfortunately, it’s left us with even more questions than before. Where did Glasstaff go? What was he planning? Is he going to attack us again? Who are Uluran Mortis, Mormesk, and the Black Spider? Should we be worried about this Necropolis Shard and Myrkul stuff? We also didn’t find any information about where Raiya and the other captives were taken, but maybe one of these leads will point us in the right direction.
 
It seems like, despite my protests, everyone has decided that I’m the leader for some reason. They kept looking to me to make decisions. Which is ridiculous and, like, stressful as hell. But with Raiya gone, someone has to do it. And no one died or got kidnapped today, so it could have gone worse. I guess we’ll see how it goes, maybe they’ll all come to their senses and realize that I’m terrible at this stuff.
 
At least it looks like we can trust our new companions. I didn’t realize it before because he talks so fast, but Eethyl is really smart. It was fascinating listening to him talk about dragons, and I’m sure that information will be useful. I don’t think he’s a wizard, but maybe he can help me with my magical studies anyways. He seems very knowledgeable and I haven’t made any new breakthroughs since Pumba left, so I could use the help.
 
Damaia also insisted on bringing some new guy along. He seems okay, even if he clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing in a fight. It looks like he has some kind of healing ability, which we could definitely use. Flicker should really be doing more offensive stuff considering how powerful her spells are (like, holy fucking shit Moonbeam hurts so so much). Also… he called me attractive. Twice. *Blushes intensely*
 
Wolf told us a bit about his past, which was cool. He… called us family, which… I don’t know. Honestly, I was still trying to wrap my head around Raiya calling us friends. Like, logically I know that getting close to new people doesn’t mean I’m replacing Mom, but… for some reason that was all I could think when he said that.
 
I had another dream about her last night. And giant boars. We need to focus on protecting the town right now, but I haven’t forgotten about making that right. I wonder if Eethyl knows anything about Talos or giant divine lightning pigs, it’s probably a good idea to do a little research before I go picking a fight with a god.
