[QUOTE="Zora, post: 3291274, member: 30156"] [b]Journal entry 1/12/07[/b] Dear Grandfather, Nearly copperless but happy, I have purchased a great many supplies for the repairs to the temple of Elishar. I made sure to buy enough that there would be a fair supply of extra materials plus the tools left over for the caretakers to have when I’m finished. I was planning on going to the dinner with Madu el Barake directly from working in the temple, yet Telemnar convinced me to return to the temple of Lathanul to wash up first. As it turns out, I don’t think Madu would have cared about my appearance, but I did not wish to appear rude. A carriage was sent to transport us to Madu’s home, which turned out to be an even bigger manse than that of Remmao al-Ka. All sorts of people were being allowed entrance into Madu’s home, even the poor and downtrodden of Calimport. I’m not sure as to why, but it was good to see someone of Madu’s obvious wealth and status caring for the less fortunate. I am thankful neither Madu nor his guards were upset that I wore my armor and my hammer. Nekaya-Re had mentioned on the way to Lathanul’s temple that she felt uneasy as if ill omens were about. I decided to prepare myself for the possibility of evil, although I left much of my gear back in my room. Besides, it’s always comforting to have you by my side, Pepa. I have to be honest and say that I did not pay much attention to the conversations around me, as I was mentally cataloging and planning the repairs I could get done before my departure tomorrow to retrieve my armor. I did notice that Madu is quite healthy for a man of his years. He had just returned from Chult where he does much business in local artifacts and items of local art. When he asked us about ourselves, I made the conscious decision from now forward to introduce myself with my birth name, rather than my chosen name. It is time to forget the worries of the past and be true to myself. Finally, I had to nudge Liadan into asking about Covenant, as I wearied of the endless pointless conversation that abounded. It turns out that Osaze kept a copy of the journal of Covenant here, but only he would be able to access it. Liadan asked to be able to try, as it was important to us. Madu agreed as Osaze was currently on a quest in the great waste to try to convert an ancient Djinn to the side of Good. A truly remarkable feat if he can succeed. At this time, Madu said he had something he wanted to show Liadan, and I begged forgiveness as I took this opportunity to depart back to the temple of Elishar to continue my work. I’m just not of the type to take all of this information and try to piece the puzzles together. My friends have the intelligence for that, not I. I prefer to work with my hands. No sooner had I gotten to the edge of the grounds than I got my chance to do just that: work with my hands. I noticed what looked like a struggle off in the distance on the grounds and as I pointed it out to one of the guards, it stopped. We went to investigate when I noticed with my dwarven vision that two shapes were shambling towards us. I immediately told the guard that there were undead about and to warn and protect Madu. I have to say that my reaction was not as calm as I would have liked, as I drew my hammer and with all of my strength slew the both of them. On closer inspection, it looked to be two of Madu’s servants who had been turned into mindless undead. I had not intended to use such force, but their shambling shapes reminded me so of my poor friends in Camber at the end. My heart nearly skipped a beat at the mere thought of that time. It was all I could do to contain my rage. I headed into the mansion to warn my friends, my heart pounding so hard I swore everybody could hear it. Upon entering, I could see a few more of the servants shambling about, and told the guard to go to Madu and warn him. I figured my friends could take care of themselves, but who would protect the rest of the servants? I hope I made the right choice. [/QUOTE]
