Events of Note: Even More Bad Luck

by Lorekeeper Eleonora Jorgensen

Entry 21502
 
-Brenna got a call from Aldis as we were getting our breakfast. Eirunn had come to her for help. She has killed the matagot at least once, earing its ire. It's likely her charms do some part in repelling it in some matter. Brenna's bad luck seem to continue as she was drenched with an entire tray of food and drinks. I hope we can get this clear up soon so she can get a little more peace of mind at least.
 
-I went back to the library to do some additional research on ways to deal with the matagot. It is possible to change a persons luck or fate [the next few lines have been blacked out.] Gunnar could use some self preservation skills. I do not think he knows what he is offering.
 
-Brenna and Gunnar built a box to contain the matagot. I enchanted it to make it (temporarily) impossible to escape and to make it unable to change while inside it. The box was serviceable but heavy and unwieldy. My charms were well laid- if nothing else I can take pride in that. The box looked, frankly, terrible. We aren't going to be getting any awards for our craftsmanship anytime soon.
 
-Aldis called as we finished making the box. She had found the matagot- or rather, it had found her. We hurried to get there, asking a boat of fisherman to give us a lift.
 
-I spotted Aldis in an alley on the way to meet her. The matagot was attacking her, but she was fending it off., it then turned into a cow to attampt to crush her. Brenna got her mostly out of the way, but it seems they both got hurt in the process. Gunnar channeled... Something with his... friend and trapped it in a shadow net things? NOTE: I REALLY need to see if I can find anything on what that is.

  • -We got the matagot in the box. I was bit. Am cursed. My favorite pen is broken. I hate that cat.
     
    -Rowan told the the door was left open. ... I hope he closed it before something happened, but I can't count on that, not now. I don't want to be the Lorekeeper that goes down in history as being an abject failure.
     
    -Brenna called Halstien and he took the box away. Brenna and Gunnar went with him.
     
    -Spoke with Eirunn. Told her she might be free of the matagot's influence now. Was given a charm for luck and safe sea travel. Hopefully it's enough to get me home.
     
    -Ferry worked, thank the gods for small favors.
     
    -While I know a spell for removing curses, I probably should not attempt this myself, given my current state. Perhaps I should get in touch with Lena Leifsdottir again. NOTE TO SELF: seriously consider sending her a thank you card if she helps out with this. It never hurts to be polite. Would a gift basket be too much? I'm not good at being the person who asks for help.
