Inside the Mind of a Sea Elf (Journal of Asleina Swafin)

That was just too much fun. A few days ago I learned that apparently zack is a bard of sorts. I asked him to sing for me and being the stuck up tiefling he is he didn't want to. Well a day or two ago he came into camp wanting a quartz crystal to close some portal that things have been coming through and what not. As it so happens I had one with me. It figures that he would think to pay me off with money. Since when did a wandering soul like me ever care about money? I only care about it as long as it gets me what I need to survive which is quite a change even from my past. What he failed to realize is that I could really care less about money or even material possessions. No. What I wanted was what I wanted truley a few days prior...to know the truth and learn if he really was a bard. I got him to sing for me and it was something else. I would have never guessed. He sung about some harlot and the death of her lover around camel port or some such and then her own death. I have no doubt that he chose the song because I was making him sing but I can't complain as I got him to do finally what I had wanted him to do. He got mad at me when I tried to make him ask me for the crystal nicely but oh well. Someone has to teach the misguided tiefling manners right? I sware, everyone is so caught up in their own thing around here. Did he really think that some crystal would really close the portal? That something so simple would really close it and that the authorities had not thought of that already? Its like those who run around to fields looking to kill goblins, trolls, and gnolls when doing so will basicaly achieve nothing because others have already tried this before and it has done nothing. Life was meant to be enjoyed not to worry about how much money to sell such and such weapon or armor for. I am still waiting for another person to understand this...

This is so exciting! Finally I have created something other then a simple brew! I created a ring for myself today to allow me to be able to channel extra energy from Deep Sashelas. The ring looks so pretty to me right now. Its hard to stop looking at it on my finger. I had to make a deal with Pyras to come to him if I am able to learn the incantation known as spell resistance but the deal I struck with him today is small in comparison to what I can gain from this buisness arangement. I think my deal today with the Thayans may cause me to come to heads with some others in the area but still there is to be no doubt in my mind right now that they are the real power in the area and worth gaining friendly relations with and buisness ties...this ring being a great example of that. It would have taken me months to find the materials to make this ring but what should take months took a matter of minutes. I must make sure to make good on my promise though. The Thayans are not ones I wish to make enermies or even annoy. Hopefully my new found ability to make rings and potions will allow me to stay in good favor with them and others....and if not I can always do what I do best and disappear into the waves until fortune sees better days.

This second bard competion has gone much better then the first one which was a total flop. I enjoyed listening to Cazen, Morpheus, and Ruby. They all had lovely songs to share with us. Hopefully when I do this again sometime there will be more then just singing too. I still can't believe the word about Cirion. He should have talked to others more. He always told me I could depend on him to be there for me and now hes gone. Why do people lie? Why do they say things when they do not really mean them? I have heard so many lies in these lands since coming here its starting to become hard to distinguish the truth. Such a waste...

Well, I suppose I knew this day would come. It seems my escape from my pains has started to cause others to suffer...even physically. I was fishing with a new hin friend of mine when one of the side effects I suffered from kicked in. The acid cloud attcked me and attacked him and almost killed him. I have finally had it. I need to really deal with my problem rather then just run away from it. I have asked Cirion to help me find a priest who could help get rid of the side effects from the drugs and more importantly help me with my problem of my past. I hope I am strong enough to do this....

I had a very interesting experience today. I went with a group to kill some ogres in some caves. Pericles was with us and he fought well along with the other two of which consisted of a female half orc and another human warrior. I was shocked at how the group took little to no care of its members. They repetedly left members behind and attacked various targets alone without attacking as a group with others. These adventurers here I've noticed are like that much. I have no doubt that if I and the other elven woman had not gone with them they would have brought back the bodies and not the souls of their members. Always looking after themselves...more like I use to be.

Many many dealings going on this day. So much to think about. I guess so worried right now about Osclow. I am surprised at his actions though. Today I learned from Cirion that Osclow apparently tried to sneak into the Thayan enclave following Lauan. He got caught and then thrown into jail at the enclave and then escaped and then was brought back by Nocte and Logan the halfling. Now hes being tortured I am told because of this. I am worried about him. I would be very sad to learn something terrible happened to him. Hes been a grate relief to have around as company. I hope hes okay and that we will enjoy his performances soon once more.

On the brighter side of things however this day was the creation of my first strong amulet of protection created through the blessings of Deep Seshelas. It was very strong the enchantment and I must admit I would have wanted it had I not been bound to give it over because it was for buisness. I hope that I can run across the materials to create the same thing soon.
