I'm safely at Idranorn now, and I'll be leaving my journal here when I depart, so I feel safe enough in writing a full account of what's been happening. Faranwedh will keep this information from falling into the wrong hands if I don't return, and I can't bear to keep this all bottled up any longer ( Read more... )

Nollin Stark is in Xandros. Tanowen and I ran into him yesterday evening. He very nearly had me cornered, but I enchanted him into thinking he was mistaken about my identity. We followed him afterwards, though, and learned that he's apparently been 'recruited' by the were-sharks who were plaguing us for a while after we first recovered the ( Read more... )

Today was my most successful day thus far. I've recruited several new people to our cause and I think I have an agreement with the person I hope will provide leadership to the people of Xandros once we've removed the Hellknights and Itani from power. If this person can stay alive through the inevitable unrest that's to come, I think Xandros will ( Read more... )

Itani addressed the nobles of the city yesterday evening, informing them that Lord Kyron has agreed to empty Fortress Vraid of the entire Hellknight force and bring them here to 'return order to Xandros'.

{Editor's note: Captain Alexander's journal becomes unusually vague over the course of the next several entries. Other historical evidence, primarily papers and other documents left in Captain Alexander's personal library, along with some documents collected in the Xandros City Archives, suggest that Captain Alexander may have disguised herself ( Read more... )

The slaves are free, and on their way to Brindisgloch. Writing those words fills me with pride, though when we parted ways with the gnome fleet yesterday evening, I was so exhausted that the best I could manage was to wish Admiral Wavecrest well and thank him for his offer of future help, should we need it. The gnomes' plan was ultimately ( Read more... )

We've successfully made contact with the gnome fleet, and informed them of the situation. Fortunately, our relations with Admiral Wavecrest have been much more congenial than our contact with Mayor Roymerick and Captain Nambeddo were. Of course, it helped that we allowed them to use powerful magics to ascertain that we were being truthful with ( Read more... )

I didn't expect to have time at sea again so soon, and there's something very exhilarating about sailing a pinnace after having spent several months aboard larger ships. I'd forgotten how agile and responsive these small craft can be. Unfortunately, now that I've set our course and gotten us underway, Hogun and Tanowen insist that Pelori and I ( Read more... )

What in the deepest hells have we stumbled into here ( Read more... )
