Pallith's Log Entry #3 (Session 4)


    To Freeport we went.  Arriving there with a brand new race for everyone to gawk at was interesting.  No one let their eyes off the tall, cat like people as we were escorted from our ships to the palace to meet her majesty.  Halim decided to go off on his own, heading back to the Ardent church, while the rest of us went on to see the queen.  She seemed quite surprised at Saya, than again, we were too when we first saw her, and they started talking about their nations, and the impending doom, and what they should do, and we left them there to talk.  Outside the palace we all split ways, heading to our own little families we have.  Poor Elexis though, had to babysit the out of towners, Geddon and Shen.
    I went to fence off what I had found before, several gold trinkets and lockets, and headed straight for the Nalaar's merchant housing.  There I saw only Darik tending the shop, caught up a little with him, pretty much saying: although I am back, I am actually going to be leaving again for awhile.  I made sure not to drop any hints that a war could be coming, no need to worry them when we are going to stop it.  After that I headed for their home, did a quick catch up again with Jouline before heading to my little sick lover.  Poor Avin, she had caught something and was bed ridden, I was assured it was nothing and the doctors said it will go away with rest, but damn it, ruined my homecoming plans.  It wasn't all bad, sure didn't get sex, but we talked for awhile, catching up on major events from the past twenty years, after a short while though I let her be to her rest and stayed in a guest room for the night.
    Next morning I said my farewells, this time without a date when I would be coming back, I had no idea now what I am getting myself into.  I headed off for the ship to where we were meeting in the morning, but one person was missing, Halim.  Leaving Shen behind on the boat and Geddon off somewhere, Elexis, Malik, and I went off to collect our assassin.  We found him at the Ardent church, in a rather sad state, bruised and beaten, digging graves.  He seemed all to happy with that, he was okay with the bruises, he believed he had deserved them.  Elexis after seeing it immediately hugged Halim, I had no idea what to do, just kind of standing there in confusion to why he accepts it.  Elexis and Malik went into the church to pay the father a visit, I stayed outside with Halim, and I don't know what came over me, but I started arguing about Ardent to him.  I know little about Ardent, but seeing him talk about Ardent always brightens his mood, so I guess I was trying to help, just without really thinking about it.
    Elexis came back out with Malik, with a rather smug grin, she had accomplished what she needed and Halim was free to go with us now.  Though she had forgotten his weapons and went back inside for them, after coming out the father decided we needed a verbal lashing, trying to get Halim to turn on us.  Though Halim pretty much ignored what he said and just happily waved back.  Then an idea struck Halim, he actually ran back to the bastard and offered his little glass statue of Ardent he made, that little thing that brought him so much joy when he was done with it at the Vel'Ri city.  The bastard smashed it in front of him, what a cruel fucker he is, Halim just kind of broke from that.  As we pulled Halim away, I casted a spell upon the bastard to shut him up, giving him a rather sizable headache.
    We made it back to the ship, Geddon was there talking to the man in the golden armor, something about getting paid for our services.  I was rather happy to hear that money might be crossing my palm, officially, from this expedition and shouted my approval.  Though after that I stayed with Halim, trying to console him, but that is definitely not my strong suit, he is obviously much older than any of us, but he is still naive has a child with skill with a blade stronger than many.  I need to find more about Halim, Elexis is usually hanging about him, maybe she can shed some light for me.  Speaking of Elexis, as I was consoling Halim, she came into the room to give her feelings and she pulled me away saying he needed a little alone time to mull it over.  As we walked down the hallway she asked how I was, which I responded pretty much as sexually frustrated.  I told her about Avin, how she was sick, and she said she could send good doctors to her, which I was happy to hear at the time, though writing this I now remember that I didn't actually tell her Avin's name or where she was located.  I know why, I don't want anyone knowing actually knowing my connection to her, keep business and my life separate, I just subconsciously didn't tell her.  She also offered me sex, which I was a bit surprised at to hear, but refused it.  Although she has a nice ass, she was still the one that tricked me into all this, though now I am here on my free will.
    We headed for the city of Tenifier in our airship and when we arrived Elexis took the lead into the city.  Leading us to a mage called Coalform.  He has sensed the Dal'Hi underneath the city, and with a little eyeing of Elexis' dagger, that she never uses I wonder what is up with that thing, offered his help in teleporting us.  He opened a portal and Elexis went first and came back drenched with water saying the way was clear, was a funny sight to see her popping her head back covered in water.  But we all had to go through that portal so we all became just as wet.  Than here we are, under the city, no idea where exactly, just down here to try and stop an invasion.

Pallith's Log Entry #2 (Session 3)


    Nope... she wouldn't.  Damn it, been nearly twenty years since I have had a good lay, that was probably my best chance til we get back to Freeport.  How she came off too was the Vel'Ri only have sex for breeding purposes, what is wrong with them?  Maybe it is something in their anatomy that makes it less fun, screwed if I know, actually not screwed I suppose.
    After the failed night Elexis and Malik went to see the king, the rest of us sat in the dining area, playing a rousing game of jeng jong, which they caught me cheating at so I had to sit out of it.  Stupid Shen with is stupid ability to see where my hands are going, I don't know what is up with this guy, he seems so absent, but if I try one sneaky thing he can see it from a mile away.  He also apparently knows how to play jeng jong, it must be special living in his world.
    All the while we were sitting around waiting, setting up a sparring match between us and some Vel'Ri, Elexis and Malik had a very interesting time talking to the king of the Vel'Ri, Vatclaw.  Those two, along with Saya, decided it was best if the king were to die apparently.  Oh I am sure they tried their best to communicate with the king to try and not kill him, but he is dead now.  How we got to hear it was someone yelling the red sword turned blue or something like that, apparently the sword the king wields turns red or blue depending on who holds it, red for a war king and blue for a peace king.  We were herded towards a giant area where Saya stood making a speech to her people, holding a blue sword.  No peace king, it is a peace queen now.
    Saya made a speech saying that they needed to go to war and that they need to help us, and the first thing they will do is raise the city out from underground.  Then Elexis made a speech, which I was kind of surprised that she did, further rousing the Vel'Ri to our war and actually ending in cheers and applause, that woman really knows how to talk.  Soon after the area calmed down the Vel'Ri went into positions and the city began to shake, and we had to run to grab our horses and bring them in the city so we don't lose them.  The city rose out from the ground and is once again fully exposed to the air.  From that it was decided we use one of their airships so the Vel'Ri can introduce themselves to Freeport and the world.  Doing a diplomatic mission, not what I signed up for... but I get to get back to Freeport, yay.
    We stopped off back at our airship that we came in on, which is on the coast being repaired so it can make it back to Freeport itself.  We gave the horses back to the crew of the Skyrider since they seem to be a hell of a lot more comfortable with them then the mainly meat eating Vel'Ri.  We heard from the captain that they would be leaving shortly as well, once a hunting party comes back, which they should have been back by then.  We decided to head out and find them so we can just go and we found them, they were dead and being eaten, but we found them.
    They were killed by these kind of dog like creatures, I have no idea what they are, but they stood on all fours and are kind of shaped like dogs, just with larger and pointier teeth.  There was a mass of them across this stream that was there and we decided to avenge the fallen members of the Skyrider and started killing these things, they wouldn't have let us go once they noticed us anyways.  Everyone went straight across the stream to engage them, but I noticed upstream one crossing so I decided to go after it to prevent it flanking us, but apparently I was the only one to notice that one.  I took it down on my own, then another one came out from behind us and it went after me, so I started taking care of that one as well.  Another one also came across the river to flank, and I met that one as well.  I pretty much took out the three of them, Geddon helped a little bit at one point, but majority was me.
    Though I do understand why they didn't help much, I rounded the trees after finishing off the last guy and saw a huge ass dog like thing, they were having a good old time with him.  I managed to get over to him in time to see him die and everything was finished.  We got back to the airships and we are on our way back.  Elexis wanted to speak to me at one point and I obliged her, and yet again that woman talked me into something.  She is right though, I do want to protect someone, and I am really good at what I do.  I just signed myself up for more.  Time to stop the Dal'Hi... Yaaaaay ugh.

Pallith's Log Entry #1 (Session 1 and 2)


I suppose I should be writing some of this stuff down, we are on a scouting mission and there needs to be some documentation.  I'll probably be the only one seeing this as someone else will probably give the report.  But mine as well write down my opinions on the mission.
So we are on a scouting mission as I said, investigating Stormguard City, which is north of Freeport.  We are being sent there to see what happened to the city after a invasion of something called the Dal'Hi.  Of course the only reason why I am even on this mission is because I was tricked into it... kind of.  I got too greedy once again and didn't ask questions when Elexis asked me to join.  I was almost fully free, then I put myself to someone's work other then mine.
  I suppose I need to clarify something, I am not alone obviously.  I am on this mission with five other people: Elexis, Geddon, Shen, Halim, and Malik.  Elexis is the one I owe for the opportunity to join this scouting party.  A tiefling with a rather sweet voice.  She seems to be a bit manipulative, knowing what words to say to get others to do what she wants and also using her natural looks to get the guys to do her bidding.  I'll say she does have a nice ass, but I'm not as easily persuaded by her looks as the guys, though I don't think she knows to try on me.  She seems to have a good connection to the Undercity of Freeport though I don't know how deep that goes.
Geddon, our appointed leader by someone, is a former soldier of Stormguard City and has had contact with these Dal'Hi.  He is a competent leader so far, though he hasn't really did much just yet, just called himself leader and Elexis is second in command.  He has a bit of magic to him, able to call small images of what he wants and this is how he shows us the Dal'Hi.  Now I don't know why we should follow a man who is apparently the only survivor of his army but we are.  I don't want the position, I just want to finish this and get back to the city.
  Shen, our... team idiot?  This man I don't know why he is here.  He seems to be able to fight just well, but outside of that he seems very... absent.  He is looking for his master, who might be somewhere near Stormguard, so he is with us.  When I first saw him he was stumbling about the city, looking for his master asking any random person who would listen.  I happen to be one of those people and I have to be a little careful around him in case he some how remembers I tried to steal from him, but I think that has already fled the empty skull he has.
Halim, my savior, this little twig boy is actually a competent assassin.  He actually managed to sneak into my ex-master's house without either Lougith or I hearing him.  Proceeded to murder him and, for some odd reason, stab him up on the wall and proceeded to paint the wall with his blood in a prayer to Ardent apparently.  If it wasn't for his stupid humming I wouldn't have noticed he was in the house and saw him doing his thing.  Ah, such a great sight, that fucker pinned to the wall his blood spread everywhere.  Halim tried to preach the word of Ardent to me for some odd reason, but I just shoved him out of the house.  I then proceeded to have a very lovely night of dismemberment and desecration of his corpse.
  Malik, a strong half-orc of the slums, not much to say of this guy.  He like hit things and like to look at shiny.  He is also afraid of the dark... I like the dark, I hate his stupid little night light.
  That is the scouting party, including me obviously, a mix and match of people and personalities all of which I have no idea how they will work together.  But it will only be for a short time, just one mission, then I can get back to my old life, and the ones I know.
  As for the mission, we were originally going to set off on horses, which apparently would take several months to get to Stormguard by that method.  But Geddon managed to secure us an airship, first time seeing an airship up close, just looks like a ship that would be in the water, just in the sky.  And this airship moves fast, extremely fast, I didn't expect this thing to move as it did.  I got pinned to the wall when this thing took off and when I finally got to move after getting used to it I ran to the railings and looked back, the city was merely a spot at that point with some black smoke coming from it.  In just a few moments we moved so far away, I couldn't believe it.
  The mission went from a few months to a week at that point, the airship moving so damn fast everything was a blur.  It is amazing, vast plains of nothingness, I had never been outside the city, especially this far out.  The world is so big, never knew all this existed, I should get out of Freeport more often.  We sat around in the ship waiting to hit our destination, had a team meeting, and we waited some more, I'm glad I had the view, would be so bored otherwise.
  At some point a dead halt was ordered and I had to fucking book it to not be thrown off, I may need to reconsider my seat on this ship, but the view is soo good on the bow.  We stopped because there was a crashed ship out in front of us, another airship, with a skid mark along the ground leading from north to the ship itself down south, so it crashed coming from the direction of Stormguard.  We know that there was a scouting ship that was to be doing a fly by before us and this was that ship.  It was being raided by a bunch of plains people who lived south of Stormguard and were not too bright, though they seemed a bit more coherent than Shen.  We had to beat them down into the ground for them to stop and we got some information out of them, the once green forest is now black, whatever that means.
  We took these guys as prisoners for now, making them lead us to the forest, but as we were flying I saw something strange in the distance.  A red light appeared on the horizon, it became brighter and brighter and in a very short time a beam of light came from that spot and hit our ship.  This caused damage to our sails and the ship lurched downward.  I managed to stay on the ship at least and we made an emergency landing.  We set up a meeting time with the ship so they can make repairs and we took horses to go off to the forest.  The forest started off normally, but it eventually turned to black.  The trees, the grass, the ground, all black.  Touching anything made it turn to ash in our hands, I put on a mask as others investigated, I just wanted out of this.  Eventually we made it to a clearing, all the trees are down or gone, just pure black everywhere.  As we continued to where the city should be standing, but is no longer, I saw in the distance another.
  This woman is something I have never saw before, a tall feline figure, whose name we figure out is Saya eventually.  She is part of a race called Vel'Ri and man can she fucking run.  After talking to her and her miming to us, since she could not speak common or anything apparently, she lead us to her city, to speak to the king, who could speak common.  We got to the city, which was underground and in a giant pit in a giant metal sphere, no idea how the hell they could do something like that or how the hell they managed to get it underground either.  The king was not too happy to see us and pretty much wanted us to leave immediately, but after drinking some silvery liquid that managed to let us speak and hear the other Vel'Ri without difficulty he gave us a night's stay but we are to leave in the morning.
  They don't like us, not in the least, we apparently ruin our world, taking down trees for our cities and burning things for our industry, but how else are we to advance if we can't use the natural resources we have access to?  Oh well, that is what has happened so far, lets see what happens when we wake up, til then... I wonder if Saya would...

Zelas' Journal Entry #7 (Session 23)


Ah, it was Kiel.  Of course it was Kiel, who else would have half zombie, half mechanical servants.  Why is he in the under crypt of the temple of Sehannine?  Screwed if I know.  We ran across a giant tube with a squid human thing, something that has been long dead but is soaking in some liquid.  And in middle of a fight with some more zombie things I got thrown, in Serriah's body, into the tube.  I don't know how to quite describe it, being covered with that liquid the thing was floating in.  I felt intense pain at first but at the same time a euphoria just washed over my body.  I don't know what it is, but I felt invincible, nothing could harm me, that I could do anything that I wanted to.
The fight ended in a blur, everything just fell at my feet.  Afterwards the feeling went away, I got back to normal and Kiel was ranting to us again from another room.  I noticed that one of the devices that he used to see us was in this room again and decided I got tired of him seeing us and fired an arrow and broke it.  Which then he said it was expensive, so I went back into the room before where there was another one, and destroyed that one as well.  I am kind of liking this bow thing, able to piss people off from a distance.  Kiel went silent after, I think I really pissed him off, which is funny as hell to me.
We rounded the corner into a hallway to a door with a bunch of random symbols on it.  Darrek... or was it Canna... said that the symbols were runes and could actually do something against us if we tried to open the door.  One of them disabled it and the door was opened and we got to see Kiel in person.  I was stuck in the corridor for quite sometime, unable to move, could only attack from where I was.  Then I saw my body, my body of Zelas, charge straight in aaaand get electrocuted.  It seemed rather painful and I... she... the body couldn't move for a little while.  Kiel still had his fake images from last time and teleporting in this area was screwed up again.  We defeated him none the less, Darrek actually slide him into one of his own teleporters in the room, which caused a weird reaction.  He appeared in all of the teleporters at once before they all collapsed and the room turned into a giant whirlpool, a magical one.  We all got sucked into the center and we started to fall.
I had no idea where we were, just falling.  Eventually we stopped, we landed on a strange beach.  It wasn't the same sky we were used to, the cloudy dark sky.  Instead it was kind of a bloody red sky.  We were back in our own bodies again, it felt good to be back in my own body once again.  On this beach we saw something that I never expected to see.  We saw the gods.  The ones the other Drow locked away nearly fifty years ago.  They were suspended in the air above the beach in black spheres, held to the ground with magical lines.  Then as we were all marveling at the gods above, the Raven Queen herself came from behind.  She talked to us for a short time, saying that we can release the gods.  She sent us back to East Gate... but... in the middle of the street, in the middle of the Drow quarter.  We were taken quickly into custody, because a group of heavily armed individuals teleporting into the middle of the street is apparently suspicious... stupid Raven Queen.
Well now I am in jail again, but this time it seems a bit different.  They aren't treating me as badly as before, but I am here none the less.  We were all shoved in one room and we had to wait.  Eventually we were taken one by one, I assume to the same position I was taken to, a room to ourselves.  In my room, after a short wait, I was visited by the demon whore.  Fucking Xellia, why can't she leave me alone, I must be too sexy for my own good.  She asked me what I wanted to most, apparently a question from Jadeis.  Just screw her, she will die, and I will be free.  After the interrogation we were actually set free, Jadeis doesn't want us dead just yet, but we were told to never return to East Gate.  Which I am perfectly fine with, now to get away from this forsaken city.

Zelas' Journal Entry #6 (Session 22)


Well... today was interesting to say the least.  Canna and I started off in our hotel room, as per the norm, she can't be out during night so we get to have fun.  The rest of the party we separated from so we don't actually know what they are up to just yet, not til we meet up again, was going to plan to do that at night again, maybe talk in that back alleyway, but it didn't seem to work out to my expectations.  In the morning we headed off to the jail, more specifically the jail I was held at for a bit of time.  Reason being to collect a bit more information.
I was lead to what appeared to be the head record keeper of the jail as Canna had to sit out in the waiting room, I don't like leaving her alone like that, but it was the only way I could talk to the person to answer my questions.  I asked about a certain someone from long ago and discovered he was kept at the jail for three years before being moved off for public execution in the capital, I don't quite want to lose hope he is dead yet, but I was lucky enough to escape because of others intervened, his luck was probably not as good as mine... I suppose I have to look for a gravestone then not a man.  I also asked about another, a dashingly handsome man with a silver tongue, me.  I learned that there is indeed a bounty upon my head, one of one thousand gold pieces, though if anyone is actively pursing me I couldn't obtain that information, but I am able to, maybe, at the bounty offices, maybe even throw them off the tracks a bit.
Afterwards Canna kind of went odd.  She wanted to go back and see Jadeis again, talk to the man again.  I didn't know what she was going on about at the time, but I trusted her and we made our way back to the Raven Queen temple.  We managed to get another meeting with Jadeis and Canna didn't really waste time.  She wanted to know what made the man tick, why he was doing everything.  But Canna hit a sore spot, very sore spot, Jadeis' family.  At the mention of them, and continuation of talking of them, he grew angrier and angrier to the point where he threw us out and swore that the next time we met he would kill us, we only escaped because we were in the city at the time.  This seemed to upset Canna, she couldn't get to talk to the man, actually know him, but he is our enemy now, if we see him again we should strike, and feel no pity in doing so.
We made it back to our hotel room and we were waiting for night before heading out again to the others to see what they came up with, when we got a message from the front desk that there was a woman waiting to see us and she lacked tact... by a lot.  I knew it was Serriah from that description and told her to hold off the guards and that she worked for me and probably just had new information.  We headed out with her to the abandoned temple of Sehannine where we met up with Darrek and Dahlia.  We went inside, which had a very odd fog to it, to a crystal coffin.  Inside the coffin, a woman holding the staff we came here for.  We opened the lid, which I swore took in air as it moved, and Canna went for the staff.  Then things got weird...
Everyone was knocked out, lying on the ground, I sound off seeing if everyone was okay and... my voice was not mine.  In fact it sounded quite feminine.  This befuddled be as I sat up and looked down and all of a sudden I had tits.  I was actually in another body, in Serriah's to be exact, while Serriah was in my body.  Canna and Darrek and done the same switch, Canna in Darrek's body and Darrek in Canna's.  Apparently Sehannine likes to fuck around with people... and she got us good.  The entrance was blocked and the only way out was a trap door we found next to the coffin, so we went down and hoped that this was only temporary, as we came across some mechanical zombies?  Only way to really describe them, although flesh they were constructs using machine parts.  I got to learn what it is like to fight with a bow, which is vastly different then how I like to fight.  I like being up close, seeing the life escape.  Having this distance between me and everyone I was aiming for was odd.  But somehow I actually managed to make the arrows go to the targets I wanted, or at least close to them in some cases, I guess muscle memory of Serriah was taking over, I just had to point with my mind.
We dispatched several zombie constructs and ended up in a giant room, where we took care of even more zombie constructs.  As the last of the others died, we all heard a loud booming voice, Darrek, in Canna's body, seemed to recognize the voice.  What the hell did we just stumble into?

Zelas' Journal Entry #5 (Session 21)


We made our plan on how to get into East Gate.  I am to pose as a merchant, selling wares that we have obtained, mainly the gold necklaces and bracelets from the hags, also dresses and other assortment of things.  Canna is to be my consort so she can be by my side and the others as hired bodyguards.  Canna and I headed to West Gate to buy a horse and carriage to store things in while Darek, Dahlia, and Serriah went to Winter Haven.  Canna went to get information back from One Eyed Pete as well, we found out that the slave girl in Welgard has not been heard of or found, which means she probably died in the fire and following explosion, and Adrik's parents headed south to South Gate to try and escape.  We then headed to Winter Haven to meet with the others and what a sight we saw.
Winter Haven had been bombed apparently and buildings were burnt as we walked by them.  We went to the inn and found the others and got the information.  It was a message from Jadeis, a man in full plate covered in red runes had caused the fire and gave them the message.  They worked quickly and put out the fires and helped the wounded.  Such a thing to do, he didn't even want to be in Winter Haven so no one would be tempted to take hostages, and yet here he is using the innocent lives to just deliver a message to us not to screw with him.
Then an odd thing came from Canna, asking me if I wanted to see my parents.  I don't think I ever told her formally why I left at a young age from my parents house, but she now knows.  My father by blood beat me, scared the shit out of me as a young one.  At a young age I decided the streets were more welcoming than the house I grew up in.  Worse part is I was right, look at where I am now.  I don't know if I want to see them, but it has been over a decade now, I don't know...  Anyways, we also got Canna a new dress, which is pretty damn sexy on her, and we talked about how I am to act in East Gate.  I can't be buddies with everyone as I am now, I am the leader and they are merely hired help or my consort.  I can't be nice, or care about them... going to be weird doing this.
We traveled to East Gate with our carriage, right before getting within sight Canna gave me a very passionate kiss... mmm...  We got to the gates and started to be asked by the guards about why we are here.  I put on the persona of who I call Darnik Yelf, I don't think anyone was expecting what came out of my mouth at that point.  I changed my accent and everyone just kind of stopped for a second.  Then Canna did as well.  And even Darrek joined in at some point with his own odd accent.  We managed to get through the gate without much trouble and we split up for our respected inns.  I could keep my weapons, but everyone else gave up theirs, for now at least.
Canna and I started our investigation on Jadeis, starting at the Raven Queen temple in town, it also ended there.  Little did we expect, Jadeis is the fucking man in control of the temple, and he was in.  We got roped into a meeting with him without expecting it, couldn't leave because that would make us suspicious.  Canna and him talked a great deal, I didn't really have much to say to the man myself, Canna seemed almost fascinated by the man.  Xellia was there too, she was changed into a drow woman and was apparently in business with someone else.  We both learned that Jadeis has did some sort of deal that makes him live much longer then any regular human, he has been around since the drow war, or so he says.
We left the temple, somewhat bewildered by what just happened.  We pushed on with our day though, heading to the inn that the others were staying at.  Walking in there, everyone just stared at me, eventually the air settled back down, or really the ruckus began again, and I walked over to Darrek sitting down.  I found out his room number and noted where it was, and after curfew for the town I went and grabbed the weapons they left behind and with the help of the keen eye of Canna we managed to dodge the guards and get to the back of the inn where we gave back their weapons.  After a long day about we headed back to our inn, and in our room we tried out the bath, and the bed, and the floor, and pretty much everything.

Zelas' Journal Entry #4 (Session 20)


  We headed back to the Winter Court with our crystal thing we needed, leaving the hag cave behind.  As we were heading out we ran into a large, two-headed entin, who seemed to be leading a large owlbear and a small platoon of goblins.  This fight was rather short, Serriah went a bit overkill with the goblins, taking out several as fast as possible, though a few managed to stay standing.  With death in their eyes they still walked forward and attacked, their bodies collapsing soon after.  Canna really shined here, nearly taking out both the entin and the owlbear by herself.
We managed to get back to the Winter Court without much trouble after that, just more walking, I miss my wolf at times like these.  We got back to the palace and talked to the Winter Queen.  We found out the crystal we got can stop the dracolich from taking over Dahlia's body again now, or if we waited we can use it to kill the dracolich fully.  We went with killing the dracolich fully.  She told us of where the next two items we will need to destroy the dracolich and a little informaton on the people who owned them before.  It also came into topic of my brand on my chest, and how it could be removed.  Apparently they infused it with magic so the brand would be difficult to be removed, but the Winter Queen said she could do it... for a favor.  I accepted her offer, I don't know what this favor will entitle later, but I know it won't be against my friends, if it ever was I would rather die.  She removed the cursed mark on my chest, with... lots of pain mixed in.  I was numbed to be sure, but I could still feel the blade she used to cut the branding off.  Canna helped me back into our room where I got to told her a story of my accent, you obviously can't hear text so the story would be moot to the reader.
We decided to head out for East Gate, looking for information on the next item and Jadesis.  Get to head back home... hopefully they forgotten about me.

P.S. Two elf statues are of the Summer Queen and King... apparently I am not to sell these
