(G42 - OR 27/02/09)
Went to the merchants again this evening and purchased some items for Molly. Dresses and
learning equipment. Myself and the others then discussed plans for the crew change. I attempted
to pass on our plans to our beloved captain but I fear she was so drunk she may not have
taken it all in.
DAY 88
Tragedy. Just after midnight on this day, the boat was attacked, again by Red Caps. The
combat was fierce. When myself, Eriss and Meree reached the deck of the Wyvern the fighting
was well under way. We had paused to don our armour, I fear this delay may have contributed
to the disaster that followed.
Raz had been on watch when they had struck and had already slain two of them. He had then
rushed along to the next pier to take on three more. I leant a hand by summoning a crocodile
on the pier and then a flaming sphere and finally I called lightning from the sky. These Red
Caps were tough opponents though and the elder one was taking a heavy toll on Raz.
Eriss was coming to his aid, as was Nobby and Harl. Raz had thrown one of the enemy into the
sea earlier but it climbed out at the quay side and attacked Nobby and Harl. It killed Harl
instantly but was eventually vanquished by Nobby and Eriss.
Nobby rushed to help Raz, but it was too late! The elder struck down Raz just as he was killed
by our cleric. Raz fell, by a moral wound and was dead before Nobby could get to him.
As the fighting end and was replaced by anxious chaos, we took the bodies back to the ship and
talked rapidly of what to do. I had a notion of ressurrections or reincarnations, but none
would be easy this far away from a large town.
I am beside myself with sorrow and anguish. My best friend has been slain!
