Etayne’s Journal 3

24 Sarenith, Sunday Continued

After we left the cave, we headed down the Witch’s Path. I was Again Excited about this. I had never meet another witch before and was hoping we would run into her. We did come to a very worn down hut. I was beside myself. Qatana and I excitedly enter the hut. I was so excited I hardly remember all that happened. I do recall finding the witches Skeleton with a deformed skull. She seemed to be doing some rather unusual experiments. Qatana and I were attacked by Dire Rats. It was exhilarating to skewer some of them. We also found her Ratling Familiar rather worked up. I was able to calm it down. With all the excitement I forgot to ask it some questions. He did give us a map though.

We buried the Witches remains and proceeded to the 3rd X witch was a decaying ship with some important name. We also ran into the Swamp Monster and wasted it. When we got back to town I was kind of in a daze, so I don’t remember what I did until dinner.

Apparently Ameiko invited us to dinner because we gave her the news about her Family. She was all excited about checking it out. Sandru was questioning why and giving her a hard time. I could not believe his insensitivity (Human Men). I had to speak up. I asked him a very simple question that was very personal to me. If you found out something about you that you did not know about, and could find out more, would you want to do all in your power find out? At this question he sort of surrendered. Sooner there after It was decided that a Caravan would go check it out and Shalelu said that if Ameika was going so was she. I followed suit and said if Shelalu was going so was I. Kali and Sandru, were quick to figure out a lot of what was needed and the plans were made.

One thing I remember and was quite intrigued with was Koya doing some fortune-telling. She was amazing. She drew card after card with the knowledge of what each thing represented. I need to take time and ask her how she does it.

I have not written in a while. Since the last time I wrote I went back and visited the Witch’s Familiar to try to gain a few spells. I found out that when a witch dies the familiar loses the spells they knew with in a day or two. It was sad to hear. To think that Ling is needs me almost as much as I need him. I can’t image losing my best friend.

We also left Sandpoint and started our journey to Brinewall. It has been an easy journey so far. We are currently at Galduria resupplying. When we started on the trip I was asked to entertain everyone, expressed my reluctance and Qatana excitedly switched jobs with me (I am not comfortable getting up in front of people). I am instead helping to guard the caravan.

We are now in Riddleport. It is Huge. On our way here as we were nearing one of the towns our scouts spotted a small group of 3 Ogres set up to ambush passer-byes. We decided we would surprise them first with a volley of arrows. We did catch them by surprise and in the excitement Olmas valiantly rode into the fray. I knew I had to hurry. Olmas WILL need healing. I was correct. As I came up to the fight he was looking very beat up. Lucky for him I have been able to unlock the secrets of a new Hex that helps those in need. I Healed him with my hex and he was able to fight on. We finished off the Ogres and I heard that Shalelu was a force to be reckined with. This was not at all surprising to me she has always amazed me.

Along the Heal Hex Ling and I uncovered how to cast a few spells (Cause Fear, Summon Monster, and Shocking Grasp). Shocking Grasp felt like it just came to us. Who ever my Patron is they know how to excite me and make me keep wanting more.

I am sitting here with Ameika. She is in a deep sleep that none of us can diagnose. Koya, Qatana, and I have been trying to figure it out. Kali is sitting here with me now as we keep an eye on her. Kali is extremely concerned. It is believed her condition is caused from being near Brinewall. I hate not knowing, so I suggested we turn around and see if she improves, the others feel it is a waste of time. They feel moving forward will bring us closer to what we need. I cannot deny that but I wish to make Ameika better first. I will of course follow and see waht I can find. We will need to move quick. I hate to think what will happen if we fail. Ameika has always been nice to me. We can’t fail. We will enter Brinewall and find the cure.
