"Yes I WAS a god. It is a story I will tell you all I give you my word. But right now I sense a crack in the group. Some of you are angry and feeling useless because of the actions and in actions of others amongst you. I know that you all had good reason at the time to keep things to yourselves. It is hard to share in the heat of battle and it is harder to share when you don't know who you are sharing with. This does not change the fact that the information I have shared today needs to be shared deeper amongst you all. I will leave now and return in a few hours. You can use this room to talk, share and plan amongst yourselves. I can not make you work as a group, you must find it within yourselves to come together."

He pauses before he leaves. "I chose you all for a reason, Elon your soul of action and willingness to get straight to the job, Carth your strength of character and conviction, Krallek your quiet hunger and battle heart, Archaouss your quick mind and hidden talents and Galacia your strong will and great aura. Do not forget that you all have weakness's as well as strengths and you need each other to do what you can not. Share and trust each other as I have placed my entire trust in you all. I will return when it is time."

With that he leaves the room.

Ok, diary and pages belong to Sybil, a market trader who has some of my blood. The pages at least gave hints that something was not right with Paul. Spoke about an overly toothy grin and how she had found something out about him. It is why I was so determined to speak to the guy earlier. And we all know how that turned out. We have one orb because of what clues she gave us, and she promised us more if we returned the pages to her when we were finished with them. He pauses to think for a moment.

I belive that that is everything I can tell you that I haven't mentioned before, although I believe it will be critical to go and speak to Sybil. She seems to be a focus in this investigation, and knows an awful lot more than she lets on.

I went after Paul as the following passages tipped me off that something was needed in that area. he uses his finger to underline any passages that he is quoting. Paul isn’t what he seems. I saw him and those idiot dribble brothers walking down the river. They sat by the water for a while. Not unusual in itself but now I cant recall the rest of my night. The next I remember I am sat on the other bank, still hidden but they are gone and it is nearly dawn. Why couldn't she remember the rest of the night? What had happened there?

Then there was this.Paul smiled at me the other day and I saw it. Something off about it. To wide or to toothy. My memory is begging to fuzz again. I need to write before I forget. Maybe it was moving in a way it shouldn’t. but something was off. Paul cant be trusted don’t forget Sybil.which made my hackles rise a little. Something was going on, and I wanted to know what. That is why we went to Paul and confronted him.

Reposting the pages here for viewing comfort

pages:
“Billy and the misses have been arguing for a while. She wants to move, he does not. The lat I heard them arguing so much was just before the Toby incident.”

“The first orb has been moved as requested. Rumors have it that someone is out to get them. As usual the merchants and leaders pay no head. Silly men and there invincible attitudes.”

“the second Orb is now missing. The town is getting worried. Something strange is happening, more and more of Drink 592 are going missing. Well to be more accurate the ingredients are.”

“Only two people know where the Leader Orb is kept, and one of them hasn’t been her for along time. I believe it is an inside job. The city down the river has a lot to gain from this, though my instincts tell me that this is so some one will lose. Not so someone will win.”

“Mr graves can’t tell who did it. We are in trouble this time. He says he is sending for help but I’m not sure they will get here in time.”

“Billy and the misses are up to something. General rumors say so anyway. No smoke without fire and there is a hell of a lot of smoke in their direction.”[i]

And the most recent entry said:

[i]“ ’midnight didn’t come….’ I found that written on the back of my hand, in my hand writing this morning. I have no idea how it got there. But I know I wrote it. I just know I did.

The pages for the middle of the book read like this.

“Paul isn’t what he seems. I saw him and those idiot dribble brothers walking down the river. They sat by the water for a while. Not unusual in itself but now I cant recall the rest of my night. The next I remember I am sat on the other bank, still hidden but they are gone and it is nearly dawn.”

“Paul keeps asking me about combinations of liquids. There is something in his eye. He isn’t the same man who entered the village all that time ago to start his tavern. I am sure of it now. At first I thought he was been arrogant after our encounter the other night but no. That is not the man I spent time with.”

“A lot of my customers are looking tired and withdrawn. I have sold more pick-me-ups than I expect to for this time of year. Also I have sold more treen drinks. The only ingredient they have in common is kale routes. And the butcher is selling more red meats. I wish I knew what was going on.”

“went to see Mr. Graves for the sixth time and yet again I was turned away by that idiot. Though I found a weird receipt in my records not long after that said ‘keep looking’ I can only presume some one else is concerned.”

“Paul smiled at me the other day and I saw it. Something off about it. To wide or to toothy. My memory is begging to fuzz again. I need to write before I forget. Maybe it was moving in a way it shouldn’t. but something was off. Paul cant be trusted don’t forget Sybil.”

"So lemme get this straight, you KNEW this Paul fellow would turn into some kind of beastly demon, led us there to talk to him, and didn't tell us?" says Krallek glaring at Elon angrily. "That might have been a valuable piece of information to know ... you know seeing we were at risk there of getting killed and all." Krallek shakes his head in disbelief. "I don't take too kindly to folk who take my life for granted. That ain't good and it ain't a good way to operate."

I did not know. I suspected. But without any further knowledge of what the thing was, I wanted to go in with a more open mind. I realise it was a stupid gamble. It will not happen again.


Ignoring what people were saying for the time being, Carth reads through the diary pages himself before joining into the conversation,
"We may want to find these brothers that are mentioned as well, probably the pair you were talking too back in the pub Elon. With Paul, or whatever it was pretending to be him, dead, they might be able to answer some questions on what they were doing.

Also, the memory loss is worrying, only in that the creature did not seem to possess any ability to do such a power, or it didn't get a chance to. Either way, we need to start making sure we don't have random areas of our memory which we can't recall."

Protection of the mind is a difficult thing to achieve. Beyond being strong in mindset and knowing your purpose, I do not know of any ways to do it. I agree that speaking to the brothers in the tavern and speaking to Sybil are very much the ways to go. I am unsure as to whether we have information here that will help up immediately locate a second orb. Elon scans through the pages and the diary once more.

The only other thing that we might have as a lead is that Toby went to the neighbouring town. Perhaps there will be something on that end that might give us a lead. Still, where it will go I do not know.

Carth, what would you like to do?
