The fish who came to dinner...

Today wasn't too bad. I got to see a friend sir L. this evening and caught up a little. It wasn't all pleasent though. It seems sir M has left the fold, too bad, He was a joy to have around.. although, I suppose I rather expected it.. sooner or later... it really was too quiet for him.. I also got to speak with lady A and sir J who, it seems, have rejoined old mates and have been 'lying low'. No wonder I lost track of them! Well, it's good to know they are still about somewhere in the land.

I managed to be rid of a pair of lesser gromnie armor that had been hanging around. Good to think they might be of use to someone. Then, after I was done standing about town, Lume got busy making arrowheads for a clan member and Indi went shopping in Moarsville for the fish-muck Lume has been wanting (for 'another' of his experiments.) Sure hope he avoids putting another big ol' hole in the villa wall. The last one had us freezing the nights away untill Bel could get it patched up. Thankfully he has an 'in' with the wood golems of the area...

Lume seems certain Admetus is up to something. He keeps grumbling about untrustworthy blue-skins and this evening he(Lume) was near fit to kill Admetus for the theft of his room key. (Turns out, Tan was the one who stole the key, after having locked the door. Tan gave no reasons as to why he would suddenly do such a thing.) ...as for Admetus, he just grins.. I shall have to keep a better eye on him from here on out, I think.

This little mage went to Caul...

I got to quest this evening and I didn't die... both of which are very nice things to my way of thinking.. but thats where the 'good parts' ended. I was only going to go along on the first part as kind of a "fill-in" and let Indi take on the rest... but the group, it seems, were unwilling to wait. Considering the extreemly dangerous area I had to run through, I wish they had been willing to wait a bit.

This land we got the scroll for wasnt someplace I would be willing to travel to.. for any reason I can think of really. It was a nasty place filled with hundreds of very nasty high-level creatures strewn across the mountainous... blackened... landscape. ...every couple of feet.

I was nearly done in by this little flying lizard (that sounded much like it was calling me a queeksnart in a grouchy voice) as I beat feet past it, trailing after the group in a very serious panic of becoming lost on this entirely violent island. Then, just when I was given a small measure of comfort at seeing the portal to the dungeon, our destination, we had to jump across a slew of platforms with a make-it or start all over attitude. I am thankful I have been practicing my jumping skill of late, as I had great need of it.

So, now I have the recall scroll that Indi has been pining for and I am unable to give it to her as the ability to return to the horrid island has been 'attuned' to me only. -sigh- I am not looking forward to telling her the news.
