� It has taken some time but the letter has been delivered from�Master Coldfinger to whomever it was intended for. [/i]
� [/i]
� The trip to Dregar went smoothly with only minimal obstacles that could have been avoided if I had more knowledge of the surface. [/i]
� [/i]
� It is so different from navigating in the Underdark. Back there, you would go where the tunnels would let you. Memorize the passageways, and learn of the new ones as the earth shakes, tunnels collapse and open up, and diggers make their way through.[/i]
� [/i]
� But here...here it is so far different. North, South, East, West.....Day and night. Time one the surface has so much more relevance than in the Underdark. It is not so simple to go back to a dark environ one cannot simply turn off the sun as he would blow out a lamp or put out a torch in the Underdark. Certain spells are able to help me with light transitioning, but directions are something I may never fully get. [/i]
� [/i]
� And as I said, the letter delivered to a crypt in what is named the [/i]Dark[/i][/i]Forest[/i] on the continent of Dregar. I was simply instructed to not read the letter, and get it safely there. But surely my Master did not expect me to try. [/i]
� [/i]
� Had I used a spell to read the letter or broken the seal it would have been possible with magic to find out. I was however fortunate enough to pick up a small trick from a couple drunks at a tavern. [/i]
� [/i]
� Holding the thick parchment up to a strong and bright light source the dark red letters shown through quite clearly. Though I was not able to read all of the overlapping letters, words, and sentences, I believe I got the gist of the letter. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.[/i]
� [/i]
� I will also be interested in meeting his only other apprentice. See how we match up and what exactly it is he is to be teaching me.[/i]
