if he's writing a journal, why does he not use draconic? his common seems pretty crapy...

A couple reasons. Meepo wants to fit in. He wants to be part of the new, exciting world of his friends. So he wants to write in their language.

I decided Meepo was illiterate in common and barely lliterate in the kobold's corrupted version of Draconic. There's no one in the party to teach him how to write Draconic.

He speaks Draconic quite well (at least compared to his Common), something I don't think the PCs realize yet.

I have a feeling Meepo may get another chance to write his epic stories, though, as Derrida cast gentle repose on his body and Daelwyn's player was heard to say, "If we don't raise him I'm not playing any more."

Background: Ran a short one-session adventure to help everyone level up before starting Nightfang Spire. As you might guess from the end of the journal entry, Meepo also leveled, reaching 4th. Changed the end fight in the free adventure to be a lich, and dumped a couple of fights from it as we were running short of time.
