Vatermont 3^rd 1001 (?)

Adriana has been spending a lot of time with the books again. She has been testing out ways to use her magics with the machine things we have been finding. I don’t know how well this will work.
It’s been about 2 weeks Since the Badgerman Attack and we have not had an attack since. This does not feel well, and I have been inspecting our defenses. As mentioned any defenses I set up at the entrance to the Inn or the Stables stay. Any defenses I set up inside, near the gate, are disabled around midnight by the Inn enchantments. So one of us has to be on guard there at night.

Vatermont 10^th 1001 (?)

The gate downstairs opened as I was inspecting the traps and defenses. The visitor was a surprise to us all, as the familiar blond haired lady came tumbling through. Ashira, the ex-slave of Dentiata, upon seeing me, ran behind me for protection, as mechanical monsters emerged from the gate.
My blade could not harm them. Every time I slashed at them, the blade bounced harmlessly off. Luckily the elven armor I wore from my adventures for the Tabi, kept me safe from harm, as I tried desperately to defend myself and Ashira. The commotion drew the attention of my wife who came running down the stairs. Luckily her magic was effective in keeping these creatures at bay.
Between my magic shield and armor, and her blasts of fire, we pushed the creatures back through the gateway and they did not return. It was at this point that Ashira passed out from exhaustion or hunger, it is hard to say which in her condition.

Vatermont 12^th 1001 (?)

Ashira has finally woken up, and we have gotten food into her. Decent Food. The sight of De’ath was a bit too much for her and we had to coax her out from a closet after first sight.
How can you explain that this vulture-man we work with, is a relatively good person? Poor Ashira has been through so much.

Vatermont 12^th 1001 (?) Adriana

It takes a woman’s touch again. I say next to the closet door, talking with the poor girl for 3 hours. I told her what has happened with our team, what has happened with the world, and how we are working to fix it.
She began to open up to me after a good cry.
After we had seen her last, in Radlebb Keep. She had returned to Sisak. She stayed at the bountiful Tappe with the ladies for a while, but her memories haunted her. She waited for us to return, and her nightmares kept returning. She waited for Ko’ar and I to return to help her.  She kept repeating this over and over. But we never returned.
After Months of this, Kyl, the Tabi returned to her. He could sense her distress. She and Kyl braved entering Dentiata’s tower one last time.
At this she broke out crying again. Something had happened to the Tabi, and she couldn’t bear to say what.
The only way I could coax her out of the closet was by promising that De’ath would remain in his room while she ate.
After a lot of complaints, and an offering of some manuals from my cloud-clipper, I convinced De’ath to stay in his room. He was pleased to be the first non-gnome to know the secrets of the clippers. (He will be surprised when he realizes it’s a historical document, not an engineering one.)

Vatermont 15^th 1001 (?) De’ath

If I keep my hood up, I am ALLOWED to wander the Inn. My visage reminds the Human girl of something horrible that happened.
I am left to wonder if Other Nagpa were involved, but Of course conversation is not a possibility.
Today is the Feast of Petra for her, and the 2 girls have decided to spend the day together outside in the sun. It looks like they are trying to fix the Sign of the Inn, and some of the outside shutters that have begun to fall off. Something about this day being of repairs.
The silly Gnome girl thinks she tricked me with her historical books on Clippers, but I am finding the subject quite interesting, especially the battles with the Top Balista Academy. I will never admit out loud, but Once upon a time I would have like to been in that academy.
Bah What am I thinking, Nagpa flying those death-traps?!?

Vatermont 20^th 1001 (?) Julius

Our guest has decided that she needs to move on. There is apparently things that she needs to do, but she won’t elaborate. Our Inn has begun to be used as a stopping point for others in their quests to fix the world. Adriana and I have prepared some food for her.
De’ath has discovered an Ancient Spell tucked away in one of his books. He cast it on Four books, including this one. The spell linked the four books, and now our Journal is connected somehow has a communications method. According to the old bird, when we write in our book, the writing will now appear in each of the other books, and the reverse is the same.
If Ashira writes in her book, we will see it in our books back here. This way we will be able to assist each other if needed.
Ashira was so thankful for this she gave the old bird a hug, which completely threw him off. De’Ath didn’t know what to do. Now, whatever Ashira has to face, she knows, she is not alone. I wish we could have arranged for one of these to be sent with Fang & Ko’ar. Maybe when they return.
At this we gave her big hugs, and she opened the gate with a spell.
According to her, the spell will only connect the gate to where she came from. Which means those mechanical demons. I nearly coughed when she told me she would be ok. But she had to return to help her friends, and promised to keep us updated with her new book.
