Savage Tide: Lightless Depths; ECL 12 Garrik von Keizer Wizard 12; Sixth Entry

          I can feel my morality more and more every day. I shouldn't have started adventuring again. After the hooked horrors and spiders I was completely worn out only to be faced with some abomination seemingly from one of the Horror novels of my youth. Quite fed up with this nonsense instead of targeting the monster itself I went for what it was hanging on to. One Disintegration later i was able to relax for the rest as the party quickly dispatched the struggling creature as it held itself up.

          Soon after we found a flooded chamber with a "ghost." I use the term loosely because it was a illusion of a ghost. Fairly clever seeing as that normal illusion cannot be interacted with such as many ghost by normal means. It pleaded with us to destroy an a object that we need to fulfill some sort of destiny or foreseen event or what ever you want to call it. Regardless of the raving s of a programmed ghost image we determined that the crystal actually dispelled mind enchantments which was the main weapon of the Aboleth. So we elected to leave it be for now, seemed like a trick. Being as I am i further investigated the "ghost" I realized it was not just a simple illusion but one that must be manned and operated by the spell caster. My companions did not seem to be alarmed by this but I believe this is possibly a spell cast by a waking Aboleth or some collaborator to get us to destroy the one thing that keeps them from using their thralls to break free.

        I shall, as always, remain skeptical. As we come to the edge of Golismorga we shall all have remain vigilant, especially of each other in face of an enemy who can dominate minds.
