Makachaka’s Notebook

15 Lharvion 4711 MR

Nearly finished with the first level of the Keep. Wiped out a nasty nest of kruthiks today. Then found ourselves a murder of undead. The Lightning Sphere device did not work as planned. Pity. Too much zinc? Too little mithril?

Little matter it turned out to be. Zog and Cousin Tombor (Jr.) made short work of them. Eladrin wizard Anastrianna’s destructive wizardry was most impressive. Will need to ask her about her Lightning’s Embrace; could be useful for resolving Lightning Sphere issues. Sheehan continues to improve. Over 24 hours without a small mammal’s death.

Cousin tripped over alarm trap. I had to rush to ensure our flank was not exposed, at great personal risk, I would add. Pulled a hamstring. Returned from rear-guard in time to see Cousin splatter three zombies. I am going to have to clean his armor… again. Boy still needs to learn how to clean the splatter out of his creases. That’s how you get ants.

Followed goblin blood. Believe we have found stairway to lower levels. Did we ever find the end of the goblin blood trail? Must remember to go back and check for secret doors. Keep is well built.

Will finish off this level of the Keep once we finish exploring what appear to be crypts with draconic scripts.
