*Sallaron collapses into his bed in the inn, exhausted, barely able to drag his journal and the quill pen over to him. Propped up in bed, he begin's jotting in it wearily*

Well, I've been working non-stop for days now.....Cornoil, milk, Sage, flour....even made and sold one of those Mighty bow's of mine for a fine profit. After buying a suit of Addy chainmail....my account was empty....but was well worth it, few hit's even penetrate the mail. But I'm filling it back up.

I spoke with Shamur some days ago.....was interesting. He asked what I had planned for the Explorer's in the future, and so I told him of my plans to try and make us an official guild. He was a lot more interested in the idea than I thought, offering to pay half the price of the house we would use as our Guildhall. I was so relieved....seemed I would be working for years before this dream of mine came true. I've priced the house's in Pranzis....around the Haft Lake district....and need to make only another 20000 True before we go and buy one. Then of course, there is the matter of decorating and lay-out. Thankfully, I'll be able to make most of the furniture myself....which should save us a tidy sum.

Then....to speak to the Explorer's to see who want's in. I already know Shamur, Pyyrean and Cymerran are interested.....but I haven't seen much of Godim lately. I'd like the old mage to be in.....since he's been with the Explorer's since the very beginning....and wouldn't seem right at all for him to not be in. Then, once I have the initial 4 members, just the matter of Officially registering us. Will take a few meeting's before we work out exactly what we stand for and what our main goals would be.....but is certainly an interesting time.

I headed for Karthy for a few days, sneaking around the back alley's to see if a chance would arise to spring free a few slaves....but the Guard's around there now seem to have been doubled. It's likely they know my face now....I've bugged and troubled them enough for that....but don't mean I'm gonna be giving up. I keep my ears open....hoping to hear of some Slaver's den hidden somewhere in Karthy. If I find one....by Folian I'll prepare well and free the lot of them.

And as a last note, I had a fun night at the Freelancer's. Had a bit too much to drink, and after some persuasion from AnnaLee and Pyyrean, ended up telling of the taleof the Explorer's recovering the Scion from Eon's Well. A little while later, a man came in, said to be from the Friend's of Hurm, recruiting grand adventurer's to negotiate a truce with the Dragon Black Plague, so trade routes could be opened. I said nothing, but knew what it meant. Some fat cat merchant in Hurm's obviously planning this, trying to get the Dragon removed so he can rake in the True. Only problem is, some of the have "agreed" to this. Bloody madness....if they fail to kill or negotiate with the thing, Hurm's going to feel the brunt of it....again, and the town will likely not survive.
I've decided to attend this quest, against my better judgement I might add. If it fails.....hundred's, possibly thousand's could die. I have no intention of speaking to or engaging the Dragon....but will take the Scion with me. If it makes one move, utter's one word against Hurm, I'll use Katia's Scion and bring the whole bloody Crypt's down about the cursed thing....myself included if need be.
