August 23rd -19

We are on a boat. Why are we on a boat? I don't fucking know. Everything seems to happen while I sleep, apparently. There are some pretty pyramids here, though, and I don't think I've been here before, which is good. Maybe that woman won't think to find me here. Yes, this is good. Perfect. Lets see what's inside this big pyramid-city. There seems to be some sort of lighthouse on the top of the pyramid - I wonder what it's like to look out from there?
 
Well, nevermind that for now. We've arrived at the docks, and all the people around here look like they've been in some sort of accident... Why, though? Has something dangerous passed through here? Perhaps this isn't such a good ide after all. Doesn't seem like the safest place to be.
 
We decide to go to the closest tavern, a place I didn't seem to catch the name of. The loud dwarf seems to know his way around here, barely. He claims to have been here before, in any case, though it's interesting to watch him struggle with finding his way. People seem to recognize him, but he doesn't seem to remember them. Must have been really drunk last time he was here. Hmm. Must be good beer here, then.
 
We do eventually make our way to the tavern. Knobbles actually manages to find the entrance by falling face first down the stairs, and I think he lost a few teeth. Rather impressive, really. Now he keeps muttering about finding new teeth to replace the ones he lost. Hm. I wonder where we can find teeth?
 
The dwarf apparently saved the inn from being burnt down by an ogre queen by sleeping with the ogre queen. And apparently she has had five children, and at least one of them is his. Seems like this dwarf has done many things he just does not seem to remember.
 
The innkeep does say something about a dig site with treasure. That's interesting... I wonder what kind of treasure there is? No interest in gold, but perhaps there is something pretty? Something valuable? Something shiny? Could be worth checking out.
 
There's lots of food here in this tavern... Surely a few of the patrons won't miss a little of it. Some gnome is talking to Charles, he seems a little weird, and the distraction is perfect for swiping a little food from a few patrons. Yum.
 
Dwarf boy is looking at me weirdly while we eat, though. He takes up a monocle of some sort, and peers through it. Why? What's the point of it? He wants to talk to Charles on his own, soo... I follow. Of course. He should really expect that, to be honest. But then again, he doesn't know me that well. And he doesn't know me well enough to be able to spot me in the shadows.
 
"I've seen something weird through this glass," he tells Charlie, and proceeds to explain that some people look weird when he looks through the glass at them. Merit has a weird, sneaky snake thing following him. I don't like that. I don't like that at all. That woman's been taking an interest in him, for some reason, and that snake... No, I don't like that at all!
 
Knobbles apparently has some sort of weird spectral tar thing around him, and Charlie has a little of it corrupting him. I wonder what that is? Hm, something to keep in mind for the future. I am apparently reflective. Like, maybe, a mirror? Would make sense, though... What kind of glass monocle thing is that? Where did he get it? How can he look through it and see what he sees? ...I need to get that glass thing. Tomorrow night, when he's not looking, I'll try to get it.
 
We decide to go onto the dig site in the morning. We sleep well.
 
In the morning we go to the dig site. They seem to need people, and they seem to need what they call 'cannon fodder'. They send us on a wagon and Knobbles gets the nasty-looking leaf sandwich instead of the delicious-looking bacon sandwich, and he seems to be acting a little weird afterwards? One of our employers offers him something - I'm unsure of exactly what it is, but Knobbles tells me I know what to do, so I pay for it. He seems to want it, and I have the money. Perhaps I'll see if I can get him some more if he likes it?
 
They lead us to a svex. He's very interesting; I've never seen his kind before. He also seems to appreciate me. He seems smart. Though I'm unsure of whether to be offended or not with his surprise at me being able to talk.
 
They send us to clear out some sort of old keep. There's not much to find here, though we do encounter a green dragon-thing of some sort. He has dug down some goblins, and as I try to dig one out to see if it's still edible they all decide to come to life. Sure. That means I'll need to work a little harder for my food, but I can deal with this. The goblins keep returning when we smash them, though, and they don't seem very appetizing any more; all black goo. Not very nutritious at all.
 
Merit hits the green dragon-thing with some sort of spell that also hits me, the bastard. And then the new svex hits me in the back with a sling shot! For gods sake, am I the target here, or the green dragon-thing? Oh, it's the green dragon-thing? Well, THEN HIT THE FUCKING GREEN DRAGON-THING!
 
At least it dies eventually. And at least it looks more appetizing than the black goo goblins.
I might try eating this one to give me the strength to heal from the wounds my so-called party gave me.
