Well... where do I begin? There has been so much going on lately that I have not had time to write. We went into Arindor's Demise. We made it all the way down to the bottom... Well most of us did anyways. A couple of us fell along the way, myself included. That vampire that keeps taunting us was there, and one fool said he thought that she was going to help us. Sure she was. She helped us to our deaths. I tried to destroy her. Twice. Actually three times now, but I'll get to that. Miss Iellwen, as much as I like her as a person, and if she really will be Lance's wife... she has got to stop raising me from the dead. I would prefer to simply be drawn to the bindstone than be raised by whom Toran dislikes. Why no one could speak up for me, I don't know...

Anyways, when we got to the bottom, we met Death. Not just as if we all died, but as in a walking death. I don't know if we failed in our mission or not. I guess we did. We didn't find Quantum.

We got a sort of lead days later that someone had seen some men in black robes shoving an older man in a bag... I think... in the Ire Mountains, so we went to investigate. There were four of us, Balazar, Lex'or, Angel, and me. Something cast darkness and then Angel was gone. Lex'or said he thought maybe Angel got scared, but I've never seen Angel be afraid enough to run... especially not if he could do some good. We did'nt know where he went so we continued into the caves. There were more vampires in there. We made it through the whole cave that we were in and found nothing else. We destroyed the vampires in there, but no sign of Quantum, and no sign of Angel. We went back to Ft. Llast, and Angel was there. He said he'd seen Quantum. He was in bad shape, Angel said, but he could not heal him. We know now that the followers of Corath have him.

There's more, but my thoughts are not organized right now.

Oh... and we found the missing paladins. They were already dead.

And Tod lied to me. He apologized and made me a pie. I hope that he never lies to me again, but I don't know now if I can trust him. That hurts.
