ooc ( If you think that you may use this IG in any way then i wish that you would not read it.  most of the following most people don't know about and some of it even the people who were there probably don't know it all.  This is her diary and here to help her develop as a person IG you may read it for enjoyment but not to use IG thank you for respecting my wishes)







Hello Diary I've only been on the surface for a short time and i realize that the now why the surface elfs are so much weaker than us it is because the sun goes in through their eyes and wipes out their brains and turns their skin ugly.  I recently arrived in a town called Hlint it was day out and the sun was blinding me so i needed a cowl to cover my face, there i met a brethern who believed in the Lord of Spiders.  To think he actually believes men are better than women when all truely know women are the more powerful.  
This man addressed himself to me as Hood which is what he gave me to keep the sun off my face and to keep others from seeing it (dc for spot check is 10 + 2 * dex mod + int mod, = 22 thats what i figured 10 do to the hood 2 * dex do to the arranging and int do to the thought of where it goes to block sight best this is my thought  and what i now use P.S. if you read this Wolf i'll still count it as you saw her skin color know her voice and name and cloak she used) thanks to him i could now walk around Hlint. he also said that he would tell another of our kind about me so i could meet him.  
Then i went adventuring with a human named Divina together we got some rat pelts and tax records along with poison from spiders for me to use.  I lost my hood and needed too make myself a new one which i did as soon as i could this new hood suits me alot it is lighta and keeps the sun out of my eyes so i can consentrate on my spells.  
while gathering the materials i came upon a skunk the creature smells so baad that its stench nearly killed me.  fortuneatly a man named Mhoram saved my life.  after that i rested for a bit.
Later when was moving around again I saw Mhoram and i also saw through Mhoram he said it was a side effect for using the bindstone to save his life.  I met another man named Rojo and went with him into the crypts to get essence of a lesser darksoul for myself.  On the way there i gathered the money and items from everything that we killed later Mhoram joined us and he took some but not near as much or near as fast as i took it.  In the battle with the darksoul i was severly injured and could no longer help My friend and familiar Stre and he perished in that battle luckily i thought about how to bring him back and thought of something i even made him stronger when i brought him back (ooc grew a level).  While he was gone and i was pondering him we met another human with a good sword at the moment his name has left my mind it started with an S though any way we went and gathered ingredients for Stre's favorite dish Belly and eyball soup.  We needed goblin eyes i gathered them all and beetle beelies i also gathered these we needed spider poison for the broth which i gathered and i also got some spider silk to add some spice with although i didn't tell the humans that.  
After gathering the ingredients for Stre's meal and before i had figured out a way to bring Stre back we went into the Kobolt caves too get a necklace for some bard who was staying at the inn.  Here too i gathered as much as i could although the sword human and Mhoram took a bit too i got the necklace.  We went to Rangers Vale and the Sword human left us while were at Rangers Vale i figured out how to bring Stre back and it brought joy to all that he was ok.  we then went back to Hlint and i left the group for i needed to do some important poison making which i couldn't let the others know i was doing.  I turned in the nacklace alone and got the reward myself even if she had given the same reward to the others too if they got more then they might have started to get closer to me in power(ooc )which i could never allow.  During the Excursions with Mhoram and Rojo i gained over 1000 gold i am not sure if either of them even gained 100 but to bad for them at least i got what i wanted. (end of the first journal entry)


(next entry same day) today so far i have done little other than talk to people and fight some giants and ogers.  
Stre died to the fight with the ogers it was a terrible blow to me and i wishe that he hadn't went ahead.  But he did and i remembered how to bring him back it was difficult since this was the second time but i was still able to do it. while trying to bring him back i fought giants with a rather large group of people none of which seem to trust me, odd.
During the Giant fighting we had someone gathering all the loot that we found, her name was Dyness.  She was hit hard and recalled by the bindstone from that point on i was gathering but i didn't tell anyone that i was gathering i just took the gold i too got hit hard and was recalled by the bindstone, Dreadful experience, but before that i had gathered over 500 gold i decided to just keep it to myself and hope no one noticed.  no one did they paid me my share, 374 gold, i told the Arwin, a very handsome Drow, wanted me to bring him his money, and he had asked me for that, but they didn't trust me and decided that Dyness would deliver it herself when she saw him oh well.  
After that i went with Stre and met a surface elf by the name of Pinky.  Mhoram was there he had been recalled by a bindstone too.  Anyway i was hospitable to the Surface elf but fortuanatly Stre was the rudest he had ever been.  Mhoram told him to be nice so i said the same, i think i can still use Mhoram to my advantage.

[pulindar]

(new entry new day)  this is an odd thing i did in fact take 500 from ogers while battleing which would have given all the people in our party less than 50 but when collecting shares i was not given Arwin's do to lack of trust on the other peoples parts.  He asked me for the money and i sent him to Dyness who said that she would hold onto it to give to him.  But now she was saying that i was given the money(ps could a dm check this out it was last night and we were each supposed to recieve 374 im pretty sure im right but if im wrong then i will pay it back because this was a mistake.)  she ended up decideing to give me 363 gold but i told her that due to the confusion i only wanted 312 (had 51 and gave that to her) and i will give the 312 to Arwin since he had forgotten to collect his money and asked me to and for the inconvienyence and nearly loss, maybe loss of reputation for this.  still most people on the surface world trust me to the degree that they trust strangers and i have not yet earned a reason for a bad reputation.  the only thing that might be noted is by Mhoram and Rojo and they may ask for help in procuring anohter necklace since i turned in the last on my own and for my reputation i will do that i realized that the best way to go far here is with money and the best thing for that is travling with a group

[pulindar]

(new enrty)  It has ben a while since i have written in you Diary.   Well i did pay back Arwin in that time and met with many new people.  

one of the people i had previously met whose name happens to be Wolf found out much about me.  But in his questioning and his few answers i think that i too have figured out some stuff about him.  He trusts as few people as my brethern do, i have not yet him my name but i also suspect that while a surface elf may have named their child wolf, in the elven tounge, his human name would be different and that i do not have his true name either.  

I have been travleing alone alot due to the lack of my brethren in the area.  The few who are around are ussually traitors to The Mother of Darkness and The Lord of Spiders.  But i have met a few human men who I now happen to be traveling with.  One of my sisters, someone who seems to have known my aunt who was also reffered to as Ceala, is also with this group that i spent much time with.  While she is kind to people and a true beliver in Lucinda rather than The Mother of Darkness i am not as angry at her as I sould be if she believed in Az'atta like some i have heard of.  

i have not been collecting the money for this group but i have become the first hitter.  You see shortly before i went into the land of dreams, the group that i was most recently travleing with decided to use my fireballs and lightning to their max potential.  What we do is I am the first to hit a group of enemies, i hit with my fireball and then while my allies are going to attack from the sides never getting close to the middle i attack with lightning injuring and badly wounding all of the enemies that we were going up against.  After these two initial attacks i stand back and either fire arrows or magic missles.  if things get to close for comfort i can always just go invisable and back off for a while i can also make a few of my allies invisable too so they can flee.  

An idea that i came up with but have not yet tried in battle, do to lack of a backline healler.  Is to turn a healler inviasable for the duration of the battles that way they could constantly heal a group without any consiqenses.

Up to this point i have taken little from the bodies of my newest groups query without consent from the members.  as i said Diary i am not the money collecter but at times i do collect a little bit extra for myself it does not hurt the group because of the amount of people in it but it does help me.  What i wonder though is how the collector of my groups gathers so little when if i gather some i can make the same money twice as fast as he says he is.  i ussually let them gather on their own but i am now beggining to suspect that they keep half before splitting it with our group.

Hmm well Diary now i must tell you of a problem i am   having.  The one known as Hood has not yet contacted me about our brethern nor has anyone he sent tried to contact me either that i know of.   Out of the others of my kind i have met most keep their distance from me, except the one who believes in Lucinda, she seems not to care but rather to like that i, one who has the same ancestors as her is around and not treating her badly.

(new entry)  
Well diary yet again i have disregarded you for a time.  I have been expanding my wardrobe for sometime now and i have quite the collection.  

I have three full sets of attire.  My most often worn set consists of the fireproof robe that Talan gave me along with a cloth hood that i made myself i also wear a set of badger gloves i made for myself.  It is mainly magenta with a tinch of black, the hood too is magenta, along with the gloves.  I wear this dress around people that i dislike or even hate it gives off light so i can always see what they are up to.
The next set is the robe that i brought from home and a leather hood that i made for myself, this too has a nice pair of badger gloves that are selfmade.  This dress, hood and gloves are all black.  I have decided that since it suits me more than the other i shall wear it around people who i get along with better.  I shall also wear this robe when trying to travel undetected.
My last set of clothing is just a robe no hood that i made for myself.  This robe is purple and black and in my esteemed opinion is the one that suits me best.  Naturally i wear this one only around my most trusted companions.  Due to its lack of hood anyone who sees me in this robe will know my origins.  

At the moment i wear the black dress only around three people, Gulnyr the Dwarf, Dyness the human, and Iris a human and fellow wizard.  
Gulnyr has helped me often when i needed it and is in fact the only dwarf who has yet been truely kind to me and that i have yet appreciated.  
Dyness as i said earlier diary gave me the money to pay back Arwin even though she thought that she had already given it to me, which she had not, and later when we traveled together she helped me and even risked her life to save mine, she came very close to death.
Iris was with me just yesterday she was very modest which is a quality i have rarely seen anywhere.  This attracted me to her nature from this i found out that she is a very kind hearted human and she treated me very well.  

As you see diary i have now gained some people who will travel with me without thinking of themselfs.  I shall wear my black dress around these people only, i still will not give them my name but i shall be kind to these three and not cheat them often

[pulindar]

(new entry)
Well Diary two days ago i was travling and saw the only three people who i wear black around.  I happened to be invisable and others where around so i didn't show myself but Stre went and talked with them for a time.  Stre tryed to perch on Gulnyrs shoulder since i did not stay in the groups company and was not around but Gulnyr knocked him away Iris on the other hand invited Stre to Perch on hers.

Stre found out that Iris needed some brown bear skins and asked if i would get them for her because of what she did for him so we went in search of some brown bears we found them easily enough.  I hit a brown bear with two of my magic missles one lightning and one fireball and yet he still charged me he injured Stre so severly that Stre would not rmove himself from my pack for a few hours.  (// i think 50 min RL) i myself was saved only by the Bindstone.

I Tryed again to take down the Bear and again i could not, he truely is a powerful creature eventually i shawl get my revenge.  It seems though that i was not as experienced as i had previously thought i was i shall need to consider those implications.

Later i was with a group and they helped me get revenge on some mercanaries outside of Llast who had insulted my dress, they  called it red when it is Magenta.  I then abandoned that roup rightbefore they entered the haven mines.  Those surface dwellers wanted help to go into caves,definitly places where they should not go and i would not help them, with out promise of a fitty reward anyway.  (// my RP reason for leaving you guys to myself, to you its an important apointment and in RL my parents kicked me off the comp.)

For now i must think on whether to treat Gulnyr or Dyness with the same respect, you see Dyness has a Brown bear companion and often changes into a brown bear herself. I HATE BROWN BEARS!!! Although i may be able to forgive her after i anialate a few.

Iris on the other hand was very nice to Stre and i am even happier with my desicion to make her a companion in the future.

[pulindar]

Well diary as ussual i have not writen in you for quite soem time.

I still have not recieved contact from the one known as Hood not from the brethern of ours who he said would contact me.

The other day i was with Stre when i saw Gulnyr and Dyness.  Dyness had out her bear whose name matters not.  Stre was nervous around the bear so i made it invisable.  Dyness was offended and instantly left the bank, Gulnyr scolded me and left also.  I definitely will not be around those two any more.  It turns out that i was right in my assumtion that Dwarfs are not good friends.

I had met another human wizard recently we were going to get some oil for some stupid lady who lost it to ogers.  I was going for the enjoyment of killing ogers.  well we went and almost had it but something odd happened and i ended up back where i had last gone to sleep in an inn in Lar.  Perhaps it was a just a dream, very realistic if it was.  I saw the man later, his name was xenos and i told him to procure me the oil he said that he would so i shall have it, and the reward, soon.  

Xenos is a very odd human he seems to study the only area of magic that my father thought was ussful, necromancy.  I think that i shall accompany xenos at other times and with other missions.  Even Stre gave the man some respect, i think he liked that Xenos wore black which is the same color Stre is.  

I have been working with poison i have decided that i shall kill Blood with poison i have not yet decided which type of poison spider i shall use but it will be powerful.  

As my last diary knows my father was one of the high priests of The Lord of Spiders.  what no one knows except for me and our old archmage is that my father also studied magic but as i said only to use the undead.  I myself care not much about the undead but more about all types of knowledge.

[pulindar]

Well journal yesturday truely was odd.  I met three drow men, one bought me some drinks and we talked at the inn with his friend another drow who has strange dreams about a human goddess.  The last one of the three that i met and the strongest seeming traveled with me to the high forest, I accedently steped on a root and a creature appeared and hit me so hard i was sent back to the bindstone in Hlint.  Lom the third drow waited there for me he too got hit hard enough to find himself back in hlint.  We went back and thought about our mistakes and are ready to continue on with life.  We did not do much after that he bought me a room at the inn and i went to bed that was all.

Earier that day I met someone by the name of Ozy i had heard that he was a singer olthough the only song i heard had such i bad melody i would never repeat it.  It seems that the creatures near felt the same way and exploded, not the best song.  He gave me advise to help the people of hlint not for them but so that they would owe me and like me and give me things i am thinking about taking a bit of that advise.  Another odd thing i found out about this Bard named Ozy is that he wears white makeup all over his face, at the moment i will not tell you what it covers but perhaps another time Diary i should hold some secrets even from you.  

Before all of that in the day i was with a group that played with the undead and giants it was quite fun and i can not wait to play games like that agian with beasts such as those i also sold my box of thread and have now saved up 9000 gold in the bank that of course does not include my pocket money.

At the moment there are a few men who give me things when ever i see them one of course is Xenos the human wizard who has bought me many things.  The next most recently is Lomiorfin he has gotten me a few items and one room.  There is also Owen the drow who thinks he is super handsome.  There have been others but i can not remeber them all those are the most recent three and Xenos has given me more than any other so far ... I think perhaps i am forgetting some one who gave me more though, oh well.

[pulindar]

well Diary i have not writen in you for a time because i wished to find truely good news to report to you.  I have not found it.

I have yet to find another female who believes, as I do, That The Goddess is the only one who deserves worship, except perhaps The Lord of Spiders for some males.  I have searched for some time and have found no one to discuss The Mother of Darkness with.

I have not been following her examples as well as i should have been that i know.  Now i am setting a resolve i shall try to convert any who i can even talk to about the Goddess to The Goddess including the other drow who have strayed from that path.  For as we are all taught believe in The Goddess or die.  

I shall be praying in private place and shall help myself before any others even more from this point onward.  I have faith in only two, Myself and The Goddess.  Its time to follow her teachings even more....

[pulindar]

i have been praying more and more to The Goddess only in privacy.  Here on the surface there is no temple dedicated to Her.

But on a different note i have been with a man named Xenos more and more recently.  I expressed to him that i wished for a room or house to store my items he found someone willing to rent out one room for 500 gold every week or 2000 a month.  He wished for me to share it with him and for us to split the price.  He said that since i wished for a bed we would split the price and the room that it took.  For storage though i will need to buy my own large box.

I saw Owen the drow who never covers his face.  He had fallen into some problems and needed help seeing what went wrong along with his friend another drow whose name i remember naught.  Ardul and I agreed to help them but i would only help if they each paid me or even owed me 250 gold they decided not to so i went on my way.

[pulindar]

well Diary here is whats going on with my life right now.

Xenos has not yet met with the one named Marcus, who is renting the room to us.  As i said we will be getting chests and perhaps a bed in the room.  This means that i shall need to increase the amount of money that i possess.

yesturday i met a man named Ramanon in the land known as the Broken Forest do to the undead that inhabit it.  He himself summoned a goul to help him fight the other undead in the area.  He seems very strong and competint he writes down his knowledge on papers and makes it very easy to undersstand how to do spells from these copies.  He told me that he is also one that enchants items with power.  I have made a deal with him and will be attaining 2 rings of wizardry,  I had been thinking of buying these from someone reffered to as Path but Ramanon sells them for a much more reasonable price.

Ramanon later asked me to help him get the ingredients for said ring.  I traveled with him and someone who goes by the name Red, even though he wears all black they said it was because of his eyes.  I wonder if he is also Drow, i shall find out. (//hes really a teifling she thinks he may be a Drow end ooc) Before we went down into some irrelevant mines to get some gem Hood came up and spoke with us.  The information that i found from talking to him was quite disturbing, The group that he was going to lead me to has disbanded.  The only reason this disturbs me is because i wonder if a group with drow in it could have been beaten by those from the surface, or if thye mearly fought to much umong themselfs.

We asertained the gems and then went for some tin and copper yet again Ramanon summoned forth a goul this one reaked so bad that it made me dizzy, it had the same effect on the kobolts guarding the ore.  For both of these excursions i was the one to gather the loot,  They requested that i share after the mines, but after the cave it seems it slipped their mind so it also slipped mine.  

Ramanon seems to be all over this entry he truely does make his presence known.  Directly after he finished with the rings and i bought them, The post man brought Ramanon a box covered with paper.  There was a note which i still do not know what was written on it.  Under the paper was a box closed down with a leather strap when he opened it a black snake popped out.  It instantly started attacking Ramanon, because i wanted to still learn some spells from him i saved him and hit the snake with a ray of frost.  Then i bacame invisable and he summoned a stone giant like thing.  The small snake was so oddly powerful that it nearly killed the stone thing.  in the end the snake was defeated but Ramanon would not tell me why it was there in the first place.  All and all i must say it was quite entertaining to watch.

I believe that i have not yet told you this journal but xenos wishes to learn the elven language.  I shall teach it to him since he is getting me that room but he had better hurry or else i will grow impatient it better not be like with that oil it took him nearly two weeks to attain for me.  Until then though he will be buying me rooms at inns.  

Xenos himself is trying to help people use the spells he knows, for a price of course.  He is not yet very good at writing it down in a way others can understand and preform them.  Nor is he good at making the magical ink that the are needed to be written in, but he is getting better and will soon teach me how to do this also.  The only thing that i need to pay him is some honey.  Oh Diary xenos is becoming very fun to spend time with even though he is an ugly human.

[pulindar]

*sitting down by a camp fire outside hlint writing in her journal*

   Well Diary i am becoming quite annoyed with the ugly human wizard now.  He has not yet gotten me my permanent home.  Nor is he helping me with scribing, which i am becoming better at.  the limiting ingredients are scrolls and eggs everything else i can get, although i am finding a small amount of trouble at getting phenalope dust for making level 2 scrolls.  

   I have bought some scrolls from Ramanon so that I could learn how to cast them.  I am studying, and searching for a spell that will lower my enemies strength and their knowledge.  I am also studying other spells but am not working specifically one any specific one.  Perhaps i shall study some divination in respect for The Goddess.

*thinks for a time on a distasteful subject*

   Well as I told you Diary Xenos is taking to long with getting me my house.  I am beggining to trust him less and less.  I need to find someway to follow his movements without actually being there or having Stre follow him, since he knows Stre.  I had been talking to a Bard he seems quite powerful with spells telling me he knows several hundred spells.  while talking to him a small time ago he mentioned a thing called scrying.  He told me that it depends on divination and i am under the assumtion that he knows how but am not sure if he uses it.

   You see Diary this bard happens not to be on good terms with any of the Gods he says that they do not like him *shrugs* but he has information that will assist me so i care not whether they like him.  I shall search for some one who knows how to scry especially if it will help me know what is happening around the world. (//if a DM reads this i think i want to do a gather information check to find out end ooc)

I have not seen Red so i have not yet discovered if he is Drow but i shall search and hopefully find out soon.
