[QUOTE="PHDungeon, post: 4998103, member: 86320"] The following is Bella's first journal. It is in the format of a letter to Victor Starke- her patron in the city of Grimsburg. Victor, It has been a long, and except for these last few days in Fallcrest, uneventful journey. The Androsax siblings, Derren the older brother and Deryl, his nine year old sister, have kept out of my way and for that I am grateful. I fail to understand why he has taken this child with him when the path he travels is so dangerous and though he would be more than willing to share the information I don’t ask him for it. Initially I believed Derren to be an idiot who couldn’t get enough of hearing his own voice, but he’s proven to be quite useful. He’s an unusual fighter, surprisingly acrobatic with an extensive knowledge of history. Initially he would try to tell me things of his family line and blather on about his house and wars but lately he’s gotten the hint that I’m just not interested. He’s been a good face for our intrepid trio and seems to get along with just about anybody. In battle he can be brave to the point of foolishness. I myself witnessed him jump off the roof of a house to land upon his enemy screaming like a maniac. Although he is a capable warrior, witnessing behaviour such as this makes me worry for Deryl’s future as an orphan. His sister Deryl I consider a liability. Every time I look at her I cannot help seeing a short fused explosive. Her tiny body is literally bursting with arcane energies of which she can barely control. These abilities are at their most potent during moments of high emotion. Thankfully she is a quiet child for her age, reserving herself to the occasional sarcastic remark. She and her brother are inseparable. Her older brother watches over her as a mother would. There is some confusion in fact over whether or not their parents are dead, Deryl insists that they are gone where as Derren insists they still live. I suspect that their parents abandoned the girl due to her curse and there may be animosity there. Perhaps my discomfort towards the child comes from my own slowly emerging powers. Though thankfully not as potent as hers, watching her gives me an idea of my own future. Being older, more disciplined and less powerful, I should be more in control of my abilities than she is. At least I hope I will be. May The All Father watch over and protect me. As I have said before we found travel on a trading ship heading in our direction. The halflings that piloted it were a cheery bunch and thankful to have the protection that we provided even though, for this trip anyway, they had no need of it. In a brief stop over in Olsted we met with two more strangers who would later become our companions. The one, Bjorn, is a cleric of Thor, and the other, Torfinn, also wields Thor’s power but in a different way. Of the pair, Torfinn is the more interesting. He is stoic, and after weeks trapped on a skiff with Derren I liked him immediately for his long silences. He is a bit of a mystery. He arrived as full grown man during a thunderstorm on the footsteps of Bjorn’s monastery. He speaks in whispers, and very sparingly. He is also oddly dispassionate, never showing any emotion; except for perhaps slight irritation at his traveling companion. I have also seen him in battle and it is impressive.

All those who worship Rao will question their faith should they see him in battle for it is plain he wields the power of Thor himself and it is great. Last I come to the cleric, Bjorn. To put it plainly the man is a pervert. I only tolerate him because he is a cleric and as such invaluable to any company in our business.

I watched as he took several strikes that would have felled lesser men and he still fought. It was like watching those demonic machine men of old do battle. Although I can barely tolerate his company, he is too valuable an asset to leave. Soon we will be embarking from Fallcrest to follow the trail of Randall Flagg. His dementia seems to be getting worse as he has caused several violent murders in this town before fleeing to the countryside. He seems to have descended into a feral state and I am concerned that it is due to an outside influence that is in his possession. We have acquired the services of an able tracker and should apprehend him soon. As usual, I will keep you apprised of our journey. Belladonna The Lady Nightshade [/QUOTE]
