Journal Entry: 22nd of Flamerule, 1486 DR
Excerpt: I find myself puzzled. Why would the professor venture near this door? Such a decision contradicts every survival lesson he imparted to me as an archaeologist. My companions suggest a link between this door and a Lich. If their words hold truth—and I have no reason to doubt them—interacting with a Lich is the very antithesis of our first rule. Could there be a connection between this and the mysterious disappearance of my crew? Could the Professor actually be responsible? Excerpt: Note to self: Add to "Silverquill's Archaeological Rules to Live By" - Ropers are capable of conversation and can be persuaded with offerings of meat.
