Lysander has a wife who is a distant cousin of the HighKeep family, though he's never talked about her. All the others have been training at weapons, except Lumumba who's been in the library going through books. I've made some deals with merchants in town, and got a magical tattoo done on the forehead. A kite shield, enchanted to keep away magical force bolts. Made it invisible as well, don't want some night fey running off with my scalp.A travelling minstrel came in couple of nights ago. Accompanied Garrett and I had a quick chat with him about Dainor's activities. There's a moej in the keep, one of those strange lizard-dragon humanoids, changed in some arcane ritual from the human, goblin or other civilized race they were before. Odakota is it's name, and seemed to be talking to Garrett quite often. Keep my eye on them. Better go now, got to practice stealth, the third art of the goblin, with Deng and Lukkar.Airday, 16th of Eighthmonth, 1532 ERLooks like our rest is at an end. Haven't found any strong enough for the task Danjas has ahead either. Albak's barding is finished though. Should keep him in good stead. Doesn't seem to like it though, keeps giving me dark looks.Some of us had an audience with Lord HighKeep. The two siv and Lysander appear to have been living too well, and keep running to the privvy. So me and Garrett did the talking. Turns out none of his healers have been able to reverse the curse on his son, and we're going to talk to a man who knows something about a shrine to the Monkey God. Thinks it might lead to someone who knows more about the curse. As well as some money, they've added Sharanna to the charter for the Company of the Valiant Blade, and given us tabards of the HighKeep family, to wear if we go into Highkeep Forest. We were told they have some sort of power over the night fey there, so worth putting on then. Got ready most of the evening, drinking and gambling down in the city.Fireday, 17th of Eighthmonth, 1532 EROn the road again! Albak a lot happier. Going along northern edge of Highkeep Forest, through Prideford and camping for the night. Such boring names! Left the siv and Lysander at Highkeep, still doing the privvy runs! Took Lysander's horse though. Shouldn't mind.Lukkar was telling us that Highkeep Forest hasn't been named that for too long. Used to belong to the BlackBlade family, but didn't know all the details. Some ruined keep near the centre of the forest, and full up with night fey too. Sounds bad.Earthday, 18th of Eighthmonth, 1532 ERDidn't get full sleep last night. Sharanna and Lukkar were on watch when someone threw in a shrunken ape's head. I woke up to find Lukkar wrestling one of the creatures. They were goblin sized, but had bright red caps and massive scythes. Fight was pretty brief, as there were only three. Deng was the only one injured and Lukkar ran down the one which tried to run away. Think they were night fey who picked the wrong camp.Strangest thing about them was they left behind a magical tooth each, and shrivelled into red toadstools. Not picking them. Lukkar found a ring of these where on was trying to flee to . Sharanna took all the teeth, as the rest all acted scared. I'm just happy to let another take the risk.Lukkar's also chosen a new weapon. Was running around with a double-handed sword. Strange behaviour for a goblin. If a shortsword is good enough for Danjas, then it's good enough for me. EveningGot to Blackhunt no problem. Dirty little place, about 30 huts and a joke of a tavern. Talked to Rosario Bullcloak and the headwoman of the place. Rosario told us he'd been converted to the Monkey God at a shrine deep in Highkeep Forest. Something about a talking ape priest of the Monkey God and a druid grove. Looks like that's our next stop then. Had a choice of waiting for some kenku guides or following the old Blackblade Road into the forest. We'll take our chances with the road, as that's pretty easy to follow.Headed back towards Highkeep after that. Nothing worth staying for here.Waterday, 19th of Eighthmonth, 1532 ERGot back to Highkeep and did a deal with the moej wizard. Odakota kept one of the teeth. Said they were from redcaps, and told us their vials were redcap poison, taken from the mushrooms they turn into. I took a couple from the party, just in case. The night fey respect the teeth as tokens too, though they gotta be dipped in blood between darks of the  moon. Shouldn't be a problem. Sold the gems and split the totals. Kept a silver horn the redcaps had too.After a quick discussion, we decided to rest the night at Highkeep and head out tomorrow. Think we'll be taking Lysander and the siv, as it could be dangerous in the forest</blockquote>
