Imareon 20, 3127, Xandros
What in the deepest hells have we stumbled into here?
Based on what we learned after we took care of the assassins who came after us last night, the 'Dark Lady of the Shadow' may very well be Lithandra. Since this 'Dark Lady' took over the Night Scales, she's set them to looking for a 'fist-sized red gem' that was purportedly sold in Xandros a few months ago. Both Pelori and I immediately seized on that thought, and we're both convinced that it's the Bloodstone we retrieved from Dagalar's cave all those months ago. From what we learned when we questioned one of the assassins, most of the members of the Night Scales who haven't been killed outright have been turned into vampires, and given Lithandra's penchant for having vampire flunkies trailing about after her, I'd be willing to bet Scourge that she's this 'Dark Lady'. If that's the case, I sincerely doubt we'll be able to gather any useful information from the Night Scales.
The thought of that... creature victimizing the people of this city makes me queasy. And the thought of confronting her makes me even more queasy.
We've rested the night in the hideout the assassins retreated to after we defeated their attempt to kill us last night. They were all vampires, and we've staked them in their coffins and burned the bodies. Unfortunately, both Tanowen and I are still weakened by their attacks, so we don't dare try to confront Lithandra until we've found a priest who can restore our life energy. Since Father Atrius was so helpful to us the last time we were here, we're going to try to seek him out shortly and see if he'll be willing to help us again.
