The way to the temple is fraught with more surprises than I care to mention. We even encountered one of the deadliest creatures this world has to contend with. I think it is only the luck of the foolish that I am able to write this from the safety of the Inn of Clowns. In retrospect I almost feel sorry for the defeated beast. My companions tore the creature apart like animals upon its demise. In the battle that we waged with it in the gatehouse, a former outpost of temple, it was discovered that more lies below. Perhaps some clue from the past that might help us? We return in the morn.    Of other matters, I have decided, after some deliberation to help the Boccobian, Jolem with his studies. He seems to be of some lesser ability in the magical craft, so I might be able to aid him. Although he is of somewhat questionable morality (All Boccobians seem to me on the neutral ground of loyalty, their magic always placed before other concerns.),his quest for knowledge seems true. I will teach him some spellcraft and I can use Sharwynn’s Grimoire as a text. I am not going to give him access to my spellscroll, I have to keep some secrets up my sleeve after all. Why do I do this? If some one wouldn’t have helped me long ago I don’t know where I’d be. Let’s say that it is a way of paying back old Mabruk. If I should perish in the company of these men at least mayhaps the memories of Mabruk and the ill-fated Sharwynn will live on.    Lastly I have finally found time to send word to Filosial in Oakhurst. If I can at least spread word of growing evil then perhaps the forces of good will not be caught entirely off guard. Word has it that Wicker lingers yet in the area. That is good, I may need his aid yet. The night grows late and I must yet study my scrolls.</blockquote>
