Shackled City: ECL 4, Osiris Eloah, Elf Wizard, and (Generalist): Journal Entry 5

Unbelievable! Another day of adventuring, another dead companion! This time it was the skilled Monk Vrabel who met his end by the purifying heat of fire. The Goblin shaman, who I strongly felt was the cause quickly followed him into, what I can only imagine as, an unpleasant afterlife. What’s even more amazing is the “union” between Qabbiqah and Ruce! Two heads, one body. From what I can tell a complete merger of body with a distinction on mind, I have never seen this before and would love to study this further; however, I know we don’t have the time and this is certainly not the place. I will need to look into this further. I wonder if this creature can be trusted. No matter, I fear no monster with my companions by my side. But I will sleep with one eye open moving forward. Especially with a, what was it? Some kind of Bugbear vampire abomination and a horde of rats! Great, just great. This is a perfect time to reflect on one of my family’s oldest saying: “It’s during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.” For the sake of us all, I hope they are right.
