I really must recall that the teleport spells make this possible and come to visit more often. Soon, however, I do not know if I will be able to dare. I feel we are nearing the end of our quests, however, and I look forward to coming home and just being a common leather-worker for a while.In some ways, little has occurred since my last journal. In other ways, much has. I will try to record it all. *I mentioned that Baer had brought us back to our own world, but I did not fully mention the place he brought us to. We found ourselves in the middle of a desert, with nothing around for miles. While Zerai used his crystal wand to communicate with Heric and Jeleneth and make certain they were both well, I helped get some makeshift shelter built, and I made several head-wraps of the type the desert-folk call kefiyahs. Baer used the geyser from his enchanter pitcher to keep us all wet and cool, which helped greatly. Silvermane, still under the spell of intelligence-draining, suffered from the heat, and Taine, as a creature of the Underdark, was badly off from the brightness of the sun. Still we muddled through, with only Nai suffering a touch of heatstroke (due to his stubborn insistance on wearing his plate armor) and Baer suffering a touch of sunburn. Only Aman-Jafar seemed largely unaffected.The next day, Baer prayed for a spell of wind walking, and, between that and Zerai's mind-powers, we were soon back on the witch's island. Heric had warned us he had to do something before rejoining us, so we did not worry about his absence. Instead, as we had to wait for Father Baer to restore Silvermane's wits with a healing spell the next morning, we spent the day in relative eas. Baer was able to heal Nai and I of the evil magic that had drained our strength, and we saw to the healing of our whole Company. Aman-Jafar proved himself a first-rate entertainer and kept all of our minds off of the grim times before and behind.The next day, after Silvermane's mind was healed, we gathered to discuss several important matters. The first was the status of our company's captaincy. I was not shocked when the group as a whole nodded to me in that role. So I am now officially the Capatin of the Company of the Morning Star. I wonder if the rest of the Company know what they're in for.The second order of business was to consider what to do about the sorceress. We decided...sorry...I decided...(that may take some getting used to)...that it was of but little value to pursue a vendetta against her, especially as we had been the invaders. Although Nai and Baer wanted to get her, the others seemed in agreement with me.Third on the agenda was where to head next, and we appear to be heading towards the other unmarked area of our map. Let's hope it goes better than the first.Finally, we discussed the disposition of some magic items we had found. We determined to travel to the University of Dunwall in order to trade the dwarven hammer we found for items that would be of more use to us. That, of course, is where we saw you again, my nephew. **To make a long story short, we decided to trade the hammer, Silvermane's magic sickle, and pretty much all of our cash for a pair of potently charmed weapons and a brooch of protection. One weapon, a scimitar, went to Silvermane. The other, a longsword, went to Baer, for which he gave up Finslayer. The brooch has not been 100% decided on, but I think it will likely go to Baer as well.Nai, meanwhile, is the chosen bearer of the bracers we found in the devil's lair. They enhance the wearer's health to a great degree, and I hope they will help him take more blows in combat.You may notice, oh my astute nephew, that, while Father Baer gave up Finslayer, I do not say we traded the blade away. In fact, he shall remain in the holding bag, and he will come out if his enemies are close. If he betrays us ever again, though, he will be sold to the University. Zerai disagres vehemently with my decision to keep Fin, and Father Baer is not entirely pleased the sword is still around. Nevertheless, he stays for two reasons: from a group standpoint, he may be a powerful weapon against the aboleth and kuo-toa we encounter. From a personal standpoint, I gave my word that Finslayer would fight kuo-toa again. Zerai cannot comprehend why I would feel then eed to keep a promise to a sword, but, in truth, I am keeping the promise for myself.So, there it is. Wish me luck, nephew. Something tells me facing devils will seem as nothing after a short time of true leadership.Your loving uncle,Daeron* Strangely straightforward event, considering nothing happened, really. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />** One of the suppositions of Ace's game is that elves are extremely rare outside their homeland. While Zerai headed for a "Bath house" (wink, wink; nudge, nudge!!!!), Nai and Daeron went shopping, and, at one point, I commented on how odd it probably looks to humans to see two warrior elves in the first place...let alone two warrior elves that are checking fruit for freshness.</blockquote>
