There is No Honor Part 1 (Margaret)
I was looking forward to beginning a rewarding career in the church of Aster, but I've hit a bit of a detour. It started when I was invited to Lady Vanderborn's house. I thought she wanted to make a donation or something, but I was mostly wrong.
Two boys showed up shortly after I did. They were very nice and seemed to know each other,but I didn't know they were brothers! I'll need to hear more of that story, I think. I'd really like to meet their father because I'm sure he's a kindred spirit, having had lovers of different races. I plan to have lovers of every race, and I should probably spread it out evenly between them, and I'll have to try to keep the numbers pretty even between men and women, and between those of different life preferences, so I should probably make a chart...
Anyway, then this real nice lady with a foreign accent showed up. Apparently, there's some really awful opression going on in her home-land, so I think that once I'm a more powerful priestess, I'll really be able to help her out.
So then Lady Vanderborn showed up, and she wanted to hire us to find out what was going on with the ship she inherited from her parents. They died recently, but apparently, Lady Vanderborn hasn't even considered bringing them back, and it's not like they've experienced undeath yet, so how could she possibly know their preference? She seemed mad when I suggested animating them, but I think she overreacted and was a bit rude. I was just trying to be helpful. If she continues being mean to people who are trying to help her, I don't know how long I can continue to work for her. Mother Anna told me that I should go out and experience the world and stuff, but intolerance is something I cannot tolerate.
So we rowed out to the Blue Nixie, and snuck onboard. Apparently, this guy Vark had tried to steal Lady Vanderborn's money AND her ship so that he could illegally trade exotic animals. We tried to take the ship with as little bloodshed as possible, but when dealing with thugs who have no regard for personal property and no respect for the freedom of wild beasts, there is no reasoning. I could have died. So, we took the ship back, found the money Vark stole from Lady Vanderborn and the ring she was looking for, and we claimed our reward.
Then, Lady Vanderborn asked us to go to her vault with her, and with good reason. There was a really big silver snake in there, and it tried to eat us! And then, there was this really complicated puzzle, and Lady Aliosha figured out how to turn the room around so the walls opened up! She's really smart. But then, Lady Vanderborn said that most of her stuff was missing, and the vault guys said that her brother had taken stuff out of the vault, but he's been missing for a week, so who knows what happened to him! I guess we know what we'll be working on next...
