It has been an unusual week in that nothing has tried to kill us, and even more extraordinary we have not sought out those who are trying to kill us. Instead we have settled into proper ownership of the citadel. All of us have been busy cleaning and rearranging the interior spaces while two teams of professional stone masons from Breachill repair the outer walls.<\/span><\/p>\n We moved in right away and made do with the comforts the old structure provided which quickly improved as we toiled on.<\/span><\/p>\n Today we took a break from the citadel work and spent the day sorting through Voz’s papers, books, and other paraphernalia at the Reliant Book Company. This was done at the request of the town council because… well, the best person in-city to do the work was Voz herself.<\/span><\/p>\n Dinner in town tonight. To be truthful with Breachill only a mile away from our new home we can easily walk to a hot meal whenever we feel like it.<\/span><\/p>\n 17 Arodus 4719, evening<\/b><\/p>\n Seven Card Consortium Citadel<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n With the bulk of the cleaning work completed and the wall repairs still underway we each had time to do our own thing. For me this was crafting arrows, which I find relaxing and almost therapeutic. Tarsius and I have situated ourselves in the old weapon and armor workshops where we spend our days contentedly toiling away.<\/span><\/p>\n Today in our spare time we addressed the undead in the basement. We needed to get rid of these creatures before the hired masons began to clear the stairwell leading from the courtyard down to this level.<\/span><\/p>\n Tarsius spent some time in the crypt studying what had been done to create the undead and determined it was a trap left by the Hell-knights and triggered by Voz.<\/span><\/p>\n Okay, can we stop and consider for a moment just how evil and fucked up you have to be to make a trap the creates undead? The more we find out about Hell-knights the more repugnant I find them.<\/span><\/p>\n Liberte and I were able to disable the trap, which destroyed the skeletons and the wights.<\/span><\/p>\n This still left the flying skulls in Hell-knight helmets.<\/span><\/p>\n Consider this as well: the Hell-knights created these undead monstrosities. So why don’t people consider them to be evil?<\/span><\/p>\n There was nothing to disable here, although a plan was put forward to capture them in bags rather than destroy them. I’m sure it would have been useful and maybe even valuable to have bags o’skull, but netting a flying hostile skull isn’t the same as catching a butterfly. The first attempt went about as well as you’d expect. We quickly settled on a new plan: beat the little flying, nail shooting shits to death. This plan worked much better.<\/span><\/p>\n I think we need to remove every last taint of the Hell-knights from our new home and so was encouraged that others thought we should “relocate” the bones in the crypt. I’d be content just to lump them in a pile outside and invite the Bumblebrashers to piss on them before soaking the bones in oil and torching them.<\/span><\/p>\n We did claim the weapons and other items from the sarcophagi, some of which are magical. Alek had made some noise about it being okay for us to use some of the equipment from down here if our cause was worthy. It\u2019s pretty obvious what I think Alek can do with his feeble sense of what is worthy and what is not.<\/span><\/p>\n 24 Arodus 4719, evening<\/b><\/p>\n Seven Card Consortium Citadel<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n More crafting! I have made a thousand regular arrows and 500 cold iron arrows. I have made them available for everyone in our group: just take a bundle of 20 and put a mark on the tally sheet so I know to make more.<\/span><\/p>\n 30 Arodus 4719, evening<\/b><\/p>\n Seven Card Consortium Citadel<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n I worked with Aemi over the past several days to hire craftsmen to construct a gate in the tunnel that runs to the basement of the Pickled Ear and another in the secret tunnel that leads from the back of the citadel to the basement. We’re talking solid metal doors with superior locks that require a key on both sides.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dungeonetics.com\/gamediary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-015839.png\")
