Nikja’s Journal- Entry Number One
Heya journal-
I don’t really know how to start this but Lieve’tel said keeping a journal helped her from being homesick on her mission so I thought I should maybe do the same. I’m in a place called Kundar at the moment and gosh it’s super warm! I still don’t really know how to get used to it, I’m so used to the cold back on the spine it just feels weird still. I bought this book here from the market as I’ve got until tomorrow to meet with Ambassador Panbas about my plans. I really hope she can help- I really think the Raven Queen could help so many people here in Kantas but she needs a place to stay! Sister Minmyn always said a raven needs its roost, so maybe it’s my job to make one here!
I still feel kinda fuzzy after today.. That oblex thing was suuuper creepy and it felt so weird not being able to remember some stuff. At least I’ve made some friends here who can help me out now. I’ve done so much stuff with Veridian, Osborin and Bugloss and I hope they like me too! Wil seemed really nice too but Melancholia is weird. I don’t get how someone who seems so happy can do so much bad stuff. Part of me wants to just put those poor skeletons out of their misery but I don’t think she’ll ever like the Raven Queen if I do that. I hope I can still help her find her way. Maybe this journal thing can help out with my memories though! If I like, write down what happens to me then I’ll have a way to remember stuff in case I forget again. Just in case I get stuck with Melancholia and she decides she prefers me forgetting stuff..
Sooo basically today we met up in Daring Heights and we took the portal to Kundar and I was super excited because it was to meet Ambassador Panbas again. And when we got there she said we had to help out the temple of Bahamut and I was like, amazing she likes temples and the Raven Queen she’d totally be down to help with my Raven Queen temple idea! Soo anyway we went to the temple and got led all the way down past these weird statues with cloths on them and places where they said there were traps and eventually met one of the priests of Bahamut who wasn’t wearing his robes though (not professional). And there was all this icky black necromancy goop on the walls and he was like we don’t know what it is don’t touch it! But then Osborin touched it and he got all sick for a minute and we were like let’s not touch it!
So anyway then the priest said we need to get these big doors open so we can try to find the source of all the goop and we need you to go down this drain to do it. And also he had this vision of a dragon drowning in the goop. And I was thinking hmmm I’m not THAT thin but then he gave us these potions that he said would turn us into gas. So we all decided to drink them and went down this drain and it was super weird because I felt like being in the pipe stretched me out. It went on FOREVER too but eventually we got to the bottom and we ended up in this crazy giant hourglass thing but full of gold coins and Wil and Veridian couldn’t see but we tried to help them along. Then Melancholia disappeared for a bit and all of a sudden we saw something move in the shadows outside the hourglass thing so we followed her to try and see what was going on and it turned out that down there was the dragon that the priest had the vision of! An actual DRAGON!!!!! So we were all like WHOA and then it started to wake up and see us and we still couldn’t find Melancholia anywhere!!
I think Wil got tired of not being able to see anything so then he stopped being a gas and started talking to the dragon! And part of me wanted to run away but at the same time I didn’t want to leave him alone there so I stopped being a gas too and this dragon was HUGE! And it was all covered in that horrible goo I felt so bad for it but I think the goop might have been controlling it as it didn’t seem right and when we tried to give it gold it made this weird ringing sound when it took it and it made everybody’s head go fuzzy and the goo tried to attack us! THANK the Raven Queen Osborin’s so good at music as he played some for the dragon and it seemed to like it and we ran away and luckily found Melancholia too. Veridian said it looked like it used to be a copper dragon but it had oxidised? Whatever that means.. maybe something to do with necromancy? But it seems bad- maybe the Raven Queen doesn’t like things oxidising either. I’ll have to find out more because I felt so bad for that dragon being stuck all the way down there.
Anyway then once we’d run away these two priests of Tiamat ran up to us and asked us why we were there. Then we asked how THEY were there and they said they were cleaning but we were like this is not a clean place and they ran away! Super weird. But then Wil said they weren’t priests and they were an oblex and I got confused but we chased after them up the slope and then I slipped over because of my motor skills and got stuck to some more goop on the wall! And then nobody could pull me off because we were all kind of shrimpy but Bugloss was super smart and tried freeing me with a torch! And it worked so I thought hm maybe that goop doesn’t like fire. So then we carried on trying to chase after the priests and finally we got back up to the other side of the big door and they were there! But then on the door was this big mound of goop and Wil said that that was the oblex and it turned out the priests weren’t priests they were goop too!
So we all attacked the big goopy mound and it turns out it definitely doesn’t like fire so thank god for all these new fire powers I got after that minotaur blew me up in Za’suul! Anyway I hit it with some fire and it got super duper mad at me and some ooze came and wrapped around my head and I felt all fuzzy. And honestly I can’t really remember what happened after that but next thing I knew we were on the other side of the door back with the priest of Bahamut who fixed me up so I guess we must have won! We got paid and stuff and then the others went back to Daring Heights but I’m staying the night here now so hopefully I can talk to Ambassador Panbas in the morning but I hope she’s happy we helped her!
Anyway I’m super tired now so I think I’m going to get some sleep but I miss you Lieve’tel wherever you are and I hope you find a way to write to me soon. If you send me a raven I promise I’ll send one right back so I hope the Raven Queen lets you know.
We end the day ever closer to the Mother of Ravens’ embrace.
Goodnight journal!!! xxxx
