Fifth Entry
Well then the new week has also brought good news. First of all, Hood returned from whatever drunken adventure she was on two days ago, sadly she doesn't remember much of it, only that she somehow ended up in Corvindae, a city a fair distance to the north and started some sort of party. She woke up with half her gold gone and a message on the door to her room reading "My warmest regards!" Eventually she hitched a ride back here. Good thing too because the boss needed her. She, Damien an ex-king turned voluntary exile, an ex-court-jester named Mendosa and a barbarian chick called Astrid went in the cove to try and light the wards once again. This time they were finally successful, robbing the fish people of their unnatural strength, at least for a while. I don't think I've ever seen the boss man so satisfied before.
Speaking of the boss, I saw him speaking to some weird folk that arrived by carriage. Not sure what exactly they ARE, one of them is dressed in oriental clothes with a creepy mask and holds a bizarre bladed weapon, like a cycle on a morning star. The other two look like partners, a woman with two knives and a knight, both look seriously well-versed in the dark arts if their armor and weapons are anything to go by. The last one, I can't even tell if it's a man or a woman, whatever it is it's wearing pale robes, its skin is pretty pale too and it has a weird helmet that covers the top half of its face (there are no eyeholes of any kind, how the hell can it see?). From what little I heard they're some sort of "shard mercs". They supposedly have experience in dealing with the kind of horrors that inhabit the farmstead that's infested with comet shards of alien origin. How do they even know about it? Has something similar happened elsewhere? Ah I should let the boss worry about that. I ought to be glad that specialists have arrived to take our place when it comes to raiding the farmstead. I was on a mission to the farm once, time and space are bent and twisted, if not outright broken in that place.
Anyway, I'll have to steel myself for what's coming tomorrow. The boss has assembled me, Martha, Snow White and Hood for yet another attempt at the baron's life.
