-I am enjoying being at the monastery. There are tons of books, and plenty to keep me occupied. I learned how to cast Find Familiar, and created Onwynn, a raven. I also learned how to cast Unseen Servant, which means that I won't have to worry with boring tasks like cleaning and patching anymore. Star's End is dedicated to the Goddess Samis, but I find that much of the knowledge stored here is going to waste; I'll have to see what I can do about it. Amantha keeps a close eye on me while I am translating. I found a couple of Druidic books that she seemed disturbed that I noticed. I feigned disinterest, but was able to work on them while she was distracted.
+We arrive at the monastery. Our liaison is Amantha, who is ever pleased to see us. In a way, she reminds me of Elidor, with her long-suffering sighs and put-out expressions. It's comforting. I am put to work translating. The work is simple enough that I have the Unseen Servant do a lot of the work they ask me to so I can look at more interesting things. I found 2 Druidic books and spent some time working on those. I learned a new spell - Comprehend Languages, which means that almost nothing is outside of my reach if it's in text.
-The others are around, staying out of trouble, mostly. Este was able to hunt and bring back game other than what's raised here. It's comfortable, but I don't know how long we'll be staying.
+I spent some time working with Este to use the mushrooms we found on the way to the monastery to make living glow-stones. We were sent out to figure out what's going on around the monastery with the gryphons and kobolds. Turns out they're working with ogres! We were asked to go clear them out for the monastery. We discussed various approaches to the mission, but decided that it was too risky to pursue. We're not interested in a suicide mission, so we decline in favor of moving on. I did get a gryphon feather out of the adventure though!

 At daybreak, we recover the last of our missing items and make for Takanal to talk to the guard, and see if we can find out more about the powder at the Cathedral of Trees. On the road, we find a dead messenger dog at the base of a statue. The message is still inside the case; a promissory note from the Church of Lul giving the bearer 500 gold. We decide to bring that with us. Not too far from there, we find another dead messenger dog, again with his message case in tact. Halite opens it and finds ceremonial incense - very costly. Odd that someone should kill the dogs but leave the messages and goods on them.
-We camp for the night and reach Takanal the next day. We stay at the Blue Tyven, and Galadriel and I head for the temple. We find the priestess, Mother Tia, there and she offers to help research the powder we found at the battlefield. She connects this powder and our experience to other similar robberies in the area where the victims can't quite remember what happened and promises to do her best to help and find an antidote. I offer a gold piece for her troubles and am given a brick of healing peppermint leaves (32) for my apparent generosity. Galadriel offers a donation to the temple and drinks from the well, then we make for the local shop to replenish our supplies.

 Once we reunite with the group, we decide that we should go to Rilan; we learn about Este's family and the message his dragon carried. Este is a noble and wanted back home, but his loyalties prevent him from returning there. Before we leave the next day, I return to the Cathedral of Trees with Halite to get an update and leave word where we'll be heading.
+*Editor's note: the Blue Tyven is in [[gaeleth:places:Rilan]]; more likely it was the Seven Sisters.
