today has been a most eventful day, i maneged to fufel many of the low paying jobs of the city people in hlint. I completed the sargent's (or whatever he was) job which was to get 5 red goblin scout ears, this was an easy task and took very little time. I then Went into the crypts to study the undead presence there, i found that they seamed to get stronger the deeper i went for reasions i have yet to discover... I found a sturdy dwarf hat went by the name Gulnyr and asked him to escort me through the crypts for i wanted to see what was at the bottem. Much to my delight i found a shaodw creatur and was abel to obtain his essence from which i did many experments of its uses.. not much came up. I hurd the gravekeeper was seeking this essence so i turned it into him for whatever he planed to do with it. My next line of work was for the wagon master, for this i bought the servises of one Joan d'Coax i thank the name was. his payment was 100 gold plus whatever was found in the cave, i agreed. He later fell in the bottem of the cave where as far as i know his corpse still lays, there was nothing i could do for him. I turned in the head of the goblin leader to wagon mster, he gave me a very interesting pair of boots and a few coin. My next line of work was for a bard in the inn, 2 people, a fighter and another wizard joined with me on this, the fighter backed down before we got into the cave and the wizard fell to the kobalds. I recovered the necklace and headed back to town and who do i find lost in the woods, the fighter. I took him back to the road and quickly went on my way. When i went to return the necklace to the bard the wizard aproced me asking for payment as well, i dident see why the bard should pay him he did nothin but die, but she ppayed him as well. After all this i decided i needed to spend more time studding the undead, so i made the choice to travil to the Broken Woods where i ment with an interesting twosem, and elf i thank he was ranger named Path somthingand another lady with a complcated name i thank sehe was called Aohnar by the ranger. i asked them to stand behind me whill i tested my skills agenst these undead and they agreed. I animated one of my daggers and casdt a flam spell on the blade and went off. i quickly found what i was looking for and i did quight well. i took a few sampels of the dead undead for further study at a later time and continued onwords. Eventually we found our way back to Hlint where i got a room for the night and will sleep most soundly, i hope.

...i was traviling through the Broken Forest and ran into some adventures. Istarted to travil with them when we were attacked by the dead, but these were not the normal dead, these were all sorts of different shades and zombies. I had run out of spells and was retreating back to Fort hope to queckly meditate and return to the battle. On my return everything and comlmed down i saw nether of my companions and started searching for them. i ran accross a large group uf undead and unloaded fire bal after fireball upon them. I did well against this group but then tey started coming up all arond me, i actevated elemental shiled and paloymorphed into a troll, then the battle begain.. i was slowley forced to fall back to the gates of hope, where i fould my companions waiting. we fought on and on killing dozens of the dead, but alas our efforts were feutiel in the end the Bindstones saved our live once again. Later upon the return to Hpe a new invasion had occured.A skeliton of the abyss, the strongest foulset smartest skeliton i had ever seen was there, he started to summen zombies and attack the town, we were quick to fight them off, but we could do nothing to this zombie, i asked him what he wanted and he said "to destroy" an i belive he also said to kill us. i quickly backed away and shot 2 fireballs at him to on avail. My companions wer angered by this and i told them his purpose but them still wanted to talk...in they end we found a grave stone in the broken forest had been cursed... i thank it had been cursed at least. We are going to assembel a team to remove this curse somtime next week i thank, i am not orgnizing it but we shell se what will happen.

[LoganGrimnar]

HAHA and they all said it couldent be done! well, maby not directally, seeing as how i dent ask... ut today i have done a task that few others have thought possible... i have jounreyed into the layer of the Lizards... killed the leader and got back out with noone but myself and an observer. Some hman i did not get his name witnessed my feat from the safty of my invisablity spell. aperently the mighty lizard can not take 5 fireballs, hehehe.. i am very proud of this achevment.. now my next goul i supose shell be to recove the ashes from that fasinating skeliton, i sould like to recove his remaines for my studys, he is most powerful...

it has been some time sence i have writen. I have mastered the 5th circle at last! I have chosen to reless Grath from my survises.. he was not preforming as i had hoped and i no longer wished to deal with him. I have though as of late found a strange Pixie, she was hurt when i found her on dragons island but i took her away from danger and had her healed. She now travils with me in what i thank to be her way of repaying the favor of saving her life. I have recently traviled to the Dragon islands with a large group seeking the cradel of life. We were made to enter 3 anchent house of elves. Aperently they had been there sence before the Drow fled below ground. We were ambushed by many drow on this trek but we got to the houses. We enter teh house of light.. or was it life... ither way i did nothing to help here, then we went to the house of shadows where i offered to assist but was refused, then we entered the house of Music... where strangly i was of much help. in all 3 of the houses we were made to solve riddels to gather 6 gems that would later go into a ring that would offer the knowledge of the cradel of life. But after we recovered the gems we magicly reapered in spellguard.
  I have decided i want a home.. there is a interesting elf, a drow none the less that im offereing a room to when i can afforde it at last.. i thank she willa accept and join me there. I have also come to know a very smart dwarf that has become my "partner" i thank i can beenafit much from our dealsing, but we shell see.

I have at last got my home, i sit at my desk writing at this very moment. i have constructed a might fine library and a nice room for sleeping. I live with a Dwarf called Bjorn and the dark elf that i have allowed to stay in my room. This is a great step twards my goals, i now have a place to store my crafted wares and a library to put my scrolls in order. I have become quight skilled at crafting, i can make 3rd circl scrolls about 50% of the time. lesser inks are now as easy as walking for me. I have also become quight skilled in makeing minor potions, such as acid flasks and choking powder, as well as alcamist fire that is used for my firebrand spell. I have orgnaized about 3 gatheres to get me material for my work, i have them gathering corn grains and bettle bellies for me at the moment but i will soon need them to gather different things for bellies are become to easy to make.well i must get back to tending my scroll and learning new spells.

I have hurd nothing from the darkelf whom is staying in my home and i am fast losing intrest in her. Her ablitys are very lacking and she dosent seam to be very ambushes in learning new skills, her few skills in tailoring where helpfull to me, but she has vanished so there is no use for her now, may ask her to hand over the key next time i speek to her, i dont feal i am gaining anything for her, and there are others that may be more greatful and useful when i loan them my room.
   I have mastered the 6th circle at last and am studding the hard for the 7th that i feal is close withen my grasp. I have started looking into elemtal protection spells and items, i have long ago aquired robes of fire which help greatly, i have also aquired a scroll of elemtale proction, but it is to weak i need something stronger, there is a 6yh circle sepll called energy buffer that is quight power ful indefencive against elemtals.. but i must study hard to learn it. I have also been seeking out lower circle spells for testing, spells such as gust of wind and nagitive energy burst, these spells may not be powerful but i fell that i should run a few tests on them.
   I have latly got togeather a large group and we traviled into the swamps near Velensk and went into the ruined temple that was there. We made our way to the bottem but we could not get through the puzzle, we were tasked with solving that scrambled letters N O I S D S H A, which i later found to be a name, Shadosian, i must do further resurch on this name and and hope to find its owner, or his purpose.
   I have travlied to Dregar as of late and helped a half elven women find her ring, this ring was saposedly able to send the user to a great library of teh heart, we finaly got the ring after fighting through bandits and there cleric and wizards leaders just to find this library to be nothing more then a small book hovel, hardly worthy of the tital library. Just for the record there was nothing of use here for me. We gave teh ring back to the halfelven and i went on my way.
   I have gathered a party to venture into a cave in the sword rust mountens, we fought through spiders and earth golems to finr Illthiads and umberhulks waiting twards the botem, after we got through them we were in a sections of cave that seamed to be living, needles to say Bjorn soon started knowing on the walls... disgusting dwarf. We found Beholders here and killed most, a few excaped i thank. A adiquite eyestalk was equired for the witch in the shellwood and she was most pleased to have it at last, wonder what she planded to do with it...
   A party was orgnized to raid Storen's Crypt and take his ring for the wizard of teh tower north of Hlint, the group i gatherd dident seam to have much a problem getting this item and the wizard soon rewarded us well for it. I will be going back to "ask" Storen for another for my own studys. and on a side note, how did that wizard come across that toer, and where might i find my owne wizards tower for study... questions for the Queen i sapose...

...What was lost is now found, i had thought my journal lost forever, but found it is. Much to tell of recent passings there is. I have traviled to firesteeps with a large group, i ddi fine intell the way down, inwhich i fell from a clif and was not noted my the party. I was lost there for weeks, but i finaly found my way down. i am now in my home once again, i wonder where Bjorn is, i havent seen him in some time. I shell have to ask around for him. My power was tested to its max in the firesteeps.. death at every turn and salvation just a choice away, i could have gone before the dragon, kneeled and swore loyaly to follow the god of destruction, but i do not wish to fall into the shadows, while i still hold no asperations to rise into the light, i have no desiers to fall into the darkness.

[LoganGrimnar]

A new band is forming, more of a cult. They could be a risk to my practises as a necromancer. I do not wish to side with the corthenits on this, there way is likly much more harsh then is required. I will be keeping a close eye on this cult.. this Grey Circle. i shell learn of there actions, and so long as they do not threten necromancers thn i have no fights with them. It is a shame though, i have lost two... two "friends" into this cult.. Burenor and Sand are both now in its ranks, it is a shame....

[LoganGrimnar]

I have learned new information of the Grey circle, as of yet they have no plans to move against necromancers, there goals are known to me but i do not put them here, i know not where this book will be in a month... even a week. i am keeping the Corthenits inforemd so they do not make rash movments, if the Circle moves on the necormancers i will try to stop them before the war starts, we can not have a war at this time. I am also seeking a passage into the underdark, i wish to search these lands but i know not if there is one on mistone, there must be for the drow have attacked us here...
