Hi mum. Us killing the Ice Knife Killer was quickly resolved with the militia, it seems being friends with speakers gets you a lot of leniency. I was a bit worried about the caravan causing trouble but they were easily cowed, I think Torga had a good idea about Sephek but hopefully she doesnt cause any more trouble. Nimsy was very helpfully identifying allies in other towns and where we could help, plus she made great cookies. Probably my favourite town so far on our journeys, I wonder why I had heard it was so bad. Anyway we decided to help the ten towns and fight Auril as best we could, I feel proud to have such a noble goal. We agreed to travel to Targos to let Antori know we had avenged his son. On the way we stopped off and slept at Termaline. The repeating shared dreams are getting worse, Rere and I both woke from a dream of an icy lake in wet clothes! I keep forgetting to ask others about them, maybe the wizards or priests know more about it or even the speakers could tell us of a wider problem. On the way to Targos we met a really creepy old lady who apparently was Rintario's teacher, she was travelling with a bunch of kobolds some of which were undead and others seemed under a charm spell. I bit my lip but it made me sad and angry to see them under her control, Cucumber was such a good ally and friend and yet here were his kin as slaves for this woman. Not one to be trusted, I'll try and free them if I get a chance down the road. In Targos we let Antori know we had avenged his son which hopefully will give him some peace. I'm a bit confused what happened in the next hour or so, but the speaker didn't want any help and we went from helping the Ten towns to doing a favour for a dog. Freida and Rere's priorities seem a bit off but as a group we can do great things so I'll go along and help keep them out of trouble. We need to travel to Caer-Dineval to climb Kelvin's Cairn where the dog lost his master. While travelling to Bryn Shander, Rinatrio gets a message from the wizard Dzzan, apparently he has found some books to help identify your condition. Books, ffs, I expected him to have some spells that could help. We travelled to Bryn Shander next and straight to check on you. Between Freida and Rintario they make more progress identifying your illness than anyone else in the ten towns has managed so far. I read them so wrong, Freida may be a weird wild elf who would drop everything to help a dog but she knows more about medicine than Mishann. While Rintario, although he is as mad as a box of frogs burning off his own hand, I can't deny his excellent knowledge of the arcane. I'm not quite sure my next step in helping you now Mum, I guess I need to find a way to the Astral plane although I plan on visiting Axel when I get a chance. I don't like leaving you but it's the only way you'll recover. When you are better I'll take you for a meal in the Northlook, they have a singing fish mounted on the wall! Rintario and Rere had more bad dreams, an avalanche this time, they both looked so exhausted the next morning. We'll be leaving shortly, better go x ps my magical powers seem draconic in nature, still no closer to understanding the source, is it something I have been in contact with or something genetic. Not sure it matters, I am enjoying the strength it is giving me and I will need that strength if we are to be victorious.
