From the Journal of Gerard of Kleine

 

 

 

It has been raining here at Rocky Harbor ever since Jerro and I returned from the South side of the island so our voyage has been postponed going on four weeks.  Kahalla sent a letter to Serina via her little pet, Frosty and the mage decided to journey to Western Continent herself (I believe she used a spell similar to the one that that transported Pax and Grizzle to Thunder Rift so it would only take her a few hours to get there).  She told us to set sail when it stopped raining whether or not she made it back.

 

To pass the time while we wait for the skies to clear, I was looking for something to read, and I have stumbled across a journal with a name I recognize:  Wixerand Sapherage.  This seems to be the same Olunese Paladin who visited the Temple of Kord on Thunder Rift a few months ago.  Strangly the journal ends with Wix’s friend, Skye’s death, but it also contained the name of someone else I have become familiar with the last few weeks, a halfling by the name of Fingers.

 

Like Gurmadden, Fingers is one of the people we rescued from the Spider cocoons.  I showed him the journal and he has no idea why it ends where it does, but he assures me that Wix was able to resurrect Skye and they found and rescued the Princess.  The unfinished journal is just another tantalizing clue to the mystery that is Wixerand Sapherage.

 

Fingers has signed on as a crew member on the Saphire Zephyr and we have become fast friends.

The rain finally abated and we are planning to set sail today.  I will captain the Saphire Zephyr and Jerro shepherd the rest of the children (most of whom were stolen from the ophanage on Thunder Rift) on the Azure Eagle, captained by Akino, who I just promoted from first mate.  We have heard nothing from Pax…or Grizzlegar but hopefully we will see them both in a few days.

 

And so begins a new adventure.
