Leatherbound Journal

This journal was found on a sunken ship between Sleekwach and Marakesh. The pages are not entirely ruined, so it was found soon after the vehicle had been submerged. The fine leather binding has an octopus stamped into it, and a short passage in an unknown language underneath it. The adventuring party recovered it from an imp trying to retrieve the journal. Perhaps it contains scandalous information?

15th Day of Kokahim, Year 751 TR

Katherine says journaling should be good for my 'soul', or whatever's left of it, so I guess here goes nothing. At the very least I can tell the truth here. What a lovely little loophole.
I met Captain Aisling Blackheart today, a vigilante trying to shut down my artifact business for the 'greater good'...
What a woman she was... the way she---

23rd Day of Hostvin, Year 751 TR

I cannot seem to help myself. I am a businessman, and have taken no nonsense from anyone for centuries! Yet these days I'm willing to do just about anything to keep playing games with Captain Blackheart. She is surely just another vigilante, but the more I speak with her, the more I realize she has no ulterior motives... she just takes care of her people. But great Ta above--her tentacles... when they turn all purple and pink... it makes me want to squeeze... ahem. Anyway. Going to visit ship doctor. I think something's off with my heart. And why do my cheeks hurt?

33rd Day of Tillvax, Year 751 TR

I've made a HUGE mistake.
Things have always been just a tease between us a kiss here, a fleeting touch there... but
Well, even Katherine agrees I may have gone too far this time.
I spent the night with a Changeling. and, well, I'll leave the source material I gave her to work with tucked between these pages. I'm sure you can fill in the blanks.
I'm quite impressed by the little things ability to copy Oyatare anatomy though, stunning work.
Yet now I feel dirty. I've never felt dirty before, and I've done a lot of terrible things in my life... what's new? Stupid vigilante captain and her stupid justice quest. I should just kill her and be done with it.

Kokahim, 752 TR

The Festival is coming up in Saril soon. I do so love to attend, they stock all my favorite sake, and I can wear my normal skin without being shunned. Maybe the captain will be there and I'll be able to share my true self with her like this. Maybe. How can you profess yourself when all your tongue can speak is lie? Perhaps I should write her a poem, or a letter?

The next several lines are half written poetry and stanzas, none very good, and some downright raunchy. All featuring Blackheart in some form or another. Several pages after this seem to be ruined by water, the ink running together in an illegible mess. Only a few words and phrases can be picked out, including 'love', 'Scarbeak', and 'Freelands'

Iskarring, 753 TR

Some time has passed. I had almost forgotten to write in here. After everything that happened at the sea of stars... I think my fantasy captain hates me. I'm certain her heart now belongs to another. I saw them together. So tonight I plan to get it back at any cost, then I'll lock it away and hide the key over my heart. She may not see it now, but I know a human man could never match her spirit. She owns my heart, so isn't it right that I keep hers? Even if it kills her, she'll see her mistake.
