We did it

by Davynn

You'll never guess what we did guys. We actually did it! We stopped the green eyed buttface dead in his tracks but like dead dead in his tracks! You'd probably be so proud of us right now.
 
I mean maybe not proud. I don't know about you Annie, but at least Corrin seemed like the kind of half-sized chaotic rage machine who would be totally cool with some revenge. I made sure that he heard your names before we finished the fight if that's important to you (sorry for forgetting temporarily it's been a while and I was a little stressed/angry/terrified/etc).
 
I uhhhh I don't actually know of any "message to the dead" rituals so maybe I should ask Kern about those later. But in the meantime, we've gotten little mementos of you while we were down here.
 
Actually you guys probably haven't been caught up on a lot of stuff so lemme fill in those blanks first. Remember that orb that you guys were stuck in for a bit? Turns out it's important for a whole lot of reasons. First off it's an artifact of immense magical power and we probably shouldn't have left it with the kobolds. Also, it turns out that it's linked to the Maran bloodline -- they're magic people who did some questionable things basically -- and also to me by extension. Yeah my dad was very likely a Maran. And also very likely the author of many of the Jack Dangerous novels so that's really cool. We're trying to find him still, but there's a lot of other things we need to take care of first.
 
Like, one thing is that we need to figure out what to do with the dragonorb (that's what we've been calling it) and whether or not it's dangerous if I end up using it. I hope it's not, cuz it's wicked cool, but also some of our new friends seem concerned about it. Annie you probably would have known what to do with it -- you're old and also smart and stuff. Also we've got a guy to wake up who was helping us out, gotta go back to Greyloch on an urgent summons we haven't been urgently attending to... it'll be a fun time probably.
 
Oh, our new friends are neat. One of them is a bard called Lana and she's pretty nice, really fun person to hang out with. Might eat people but I'm still not clear on that and I don't wanna be racist towards them if that's just what Tieflings do. The other one is her sister Lili who's a wizard, but not the scary kind. Like the awkward neardy cute kind. But not in that way. The horns still kinda creep me out. Also the eating people thing. Oh and the last one is a druid like you Annie, who won't ever shut up and ugh it's annoying when people just babble all the time and never put on a filter isn'-
 
Oh.
 
Huh.
 
Well I think I might have learned something about myself today.
 
In other news, you'll be happy to know (I think) that the Cathol Ross have probably been robbed of a lot of their power. Their leader is dead, apparently Green Eyed Buttface (Geb for short) has been impersonating him or something and he's dead too now. The gnolls and them are not in league which is comforting.
 
So that's the summary of it. We have the dragonorb now, it's safe with Lili for the moment. I'm currently watching a golem pound through a wall in a Cathol Ross stronghold to get to a dead dwarf with a kickass lute, so yeah my life has taken an interesting turn all in all.
 
Back to my past point - we found some of your things, and if you want them returned to your clan then that's cool. We can stop by there and drop them off probably. We'll still have time to get the rest of this done. I dunno if you have somebody you'd like your things returned to Corrin but also we have your tattoo. Like it was cut off of you. I think it's kinda gross but you might think that's kinda metal so I thought I'd mention it.
 
Anyways, I need to ask Kern about the whole message to the dead thing. Used to think that was probably impossible but, well, we've seen a lot of shit recently, can't really rule anything out anymore. Just wanted to let you guys know that we did it, and that we're all okay still. Ulric's turned out to be a lot more reliable than I thought he would honestly. He killed the Pwn-Eata and everything!
 
Well, I guess Xylund's a bit more messed up than usual lately but that's kinda what I expected from him so we're good.
 
You guys probably would have liked Whitfeld. Oh well.
 
Miss you guys.
