My Journal: Confessions

It was a toss up of who to sacrifice in hell: Anomen or Imoen.

I chose dear Immy. I had something to prove: Dream Imoen was grating on my nerves; Irenicus wasn't listening, and I couldn't really trust a rival claimant, not even my best friend.

-o-o-

So Cespinar... even Holy Avengers fail, apparently. Something isn't working when an imp won't die.

What is it going to take? I'm out of ideas here. Maybe I can detonate the damn pocketplane when they're both in it: the tragic romance of the Imp and the Solar.

-o-o-

I left Anomen in Watcher's Keep. On the lowest level. He's a Helmidiot. I'm sure he'll be just fine with Demisnoregog.

-o-o-

I tried to convince Keldorn to infiltrate the Eyeless. We'd keep them for him, in a jar, with regenerate prepped.

I don't know why he didn't agree.

"Helms sees all. Know that and be judged."

Anomen wasn't impressed I remembered. I don't know why I bother.

-o-o-

I found a fantastic way to make money: paladin in the pits. After Keldorn's success in the Coronet, I just knew he'd be incredible in Uth Nasta.

I probably should have bet on him. He's an old hand with beholders, 'course these ones got eyes.

-o-o-

What kind of a circus is without a gnome cannon?

I should have brought Durlag's mirror with me to show that ogre that it doesn't matter what you think you are inside, you're still a monster. BECAUSE WHAT KIND OF CIRCUS IS WITHOUT A GNOME CANNON, YOU HARLOT?

Ahem.

Also, the ogre didn't explode like Oomph. Disappointed, one star review. Would not visit again.

-o-o-

I met a boring druid. He took me to kill an old friend. Joke's on him.

Team Faldorn for the win. Heh.

-o-o-

Some twerp asked me what my favourite colour was today. Told him sorrowfully I was colourblind.

Psychoanalyse that, idiot.

Also, he left a very sweetheart shade of red along the floor when Bear-heria backpawed him.

If a Harper falls in a hall, can the Cowlies still hear it?

Apparently not.

-o-o-

Saw an old flame who broke my heart tied to a stake today. The flames of love still smouldered within her. But I'd already moved on.

Later I had Haer'Dalis play our song: relight the fire...

-o-o-

In Nalia's Keep, I finally had Jan prepare my favourite dish: bangers and mash, sans turnip. His sou chef was a remarkably quick Iron Golem.

I don't know why the Golem didn't continue on with us; it could have been a beautiful friendship. Shredded Quayle could have become the next hit.

-o-o-

I tried to find a dentist to help Bodhi. There just wasn't enough light underground. She's a just having a rainy day: her storm cloud is bigger than her head.

I wonder if she enjoys stake and chips?

-o-o-

I was reminded today by all the stray cats that time when I asked Edwin to cook me up some rat au vin, to coax some kitten named Angel down from a waterfall.

I had to agree that fireball was a little excessive, charred and crispy is too well done, but Minsc's overreaction was as big as Edwin's ego.

I let them sort it out and off I went. At least Xzar found Angel.

-o-o-

I had a dream last night about a man I met named Eldoth in a forest. I remember how out of breath he was fighting off all those gnolls without a single drop of blood, so it was fortunate we found that cave. He tried to be modest, but Immy and I gave him a helpful push.

Pity it was wyverns and not gnolls, but it made for a good yarn.

-o-o-

Melisan seems like a nice lady, bit like Nalia's aunt, rest her dear soul. I commented on this to Nalia and she got very prissy about it. I tried to tell her to put the past behind her and look to the road ahead, but she and Edwin wouldn't listen, and got smushed by a flaming boulder.

If I hadn't forgotten to tell Haer'Dalis we were leaving that prison of his, I'd have him commission a song.

-o-o-

I met a wraith today. He looked like Gorion. He sounded like Gorion. I told Sarrvok that he couldn't keep a good man down, but he should try again, just to be sure. Also, it wasn't cool for everyone to steal Sarevok's trick. Get their own band wagon.

Round 2: Sarevok vs Gorion.

1.1.

Will there ever be a tie breaker? Who knows. Probably.

-o-o-

If a Harper falls in a forest...

Oh wait, we already did that one. Uh, so, a giant's momma, a bear-druid, and a forest play to see who is Nature's favourite Daughter.

I guess Destiny disowned bear-momma.

At least no trees were harmed.

-o-o-

What happens when a halfling cosplays as a paladin?

I dunno, but I was disappointed no one said 'then we fight in the shade' as she charged the shade lord. Maybe a holy avenger would have helped. Probably not. That thing's broken.

-o-o-

I was a bit disappointed after Amelyssan gave her big speech, so I told her mine.

I started alone, I ended alone, but it was about the friends we made on the way. Then I told her that I always killed the mouthy one

I still don't know where Xzar got to...

Also, how is Amelyssan Melisan? I thought I watched her get smushed in Saradush.

-o-o-

At the very end, I remember toasting that pesky Solar by yelling "Confusion to our enemies!" and strumming my lyre. The damn thing must be broken. So then I tried reshaping the plane to a library, like in my dreams, just so she'd be silent. Didn't work. Finally, I was asked: "what do you choose?"

I read my 'Wish' scroll. "The princess is- no, no, no. I PUSH THE BUTTON! Ahahaha, no. Seriously though? I wish to do it all again!" Oh the look on her face. "And for only I to remember everything!"

Now where did I leave Xzar?
