15 Sek 637 (evening)
Blessed Nephthys, thank you for healing our companion Victoria. I was pretty worried about her, but she seems close to her old self already. Oh, and thanks to Fallon and Isis too. May they both give her their healing so that she’s back to normal. It would be pretty bad for her if she’ll always be a bit loose in the head. I hope I don’t ever end up like that, Bes protect me.
Still, even with her brains gone to mush, Victoria’s a real good fighter. She took Markos down without breaking a sweat, though I guess that’s no surprise, since he’s got all the muscle of a piece of cheese. Speaking of which, Lady, please pray Fallon’s aid for Markos as well. He was acting pretty crazy. I don’t know where all that anger came from, but I’m hoping it’s just because he also breathed in some of that yellow stuff. With any luck, they’ll both get better.
I guess we’re gonna be here for another day or two, Lady, and that’s fine by me. I mean, when you’re walking through the swamp in the middle of the night with boots full of mud, that’s not much fun, but now that we’re kinda warm and kinda dry, this is really a pretty fine place, with the blue sky and the frogs croaking and all the water and the shrubs and trees spreading out everywhere. And ruins like this place are totally tops; it’s like when we were kids back home, running around the standing stones and pretending we were Harbinger and Sorlorn and Briareus the Bold. Only it’s real this time, and we are heroes, or at least we’re going to be.
Do you think this place goes back that far, Lady? Maybe it’s got some of those old dungeons and cellars and suchlike underneath it, like under that pit in the middle. Maybe there’s treasure down there. But I guess that it would be kind of rude to poke around in the lizards’ place… and it’s all full of yellow stuff anyway. I may be brave, Lady, but I ain’t stupid.
Anyway, thank you, Lady, for your blessings. Please watch over us. Amen.
