D&D D20 - Irongate

Dear Diary,

Part II. I am continuously surprised at my own genius, after running through the cafeteria I saw there is a very long hallway with lots of doors, I am sure the Demon will not be able to choose which one to search for me. I ask one of the guards who just happen to step out of his own bedroom, "What is at end of this hallway."  He nodded and answered it led to the stables, which explains why door is much heavier. Quickly and quietly I run through door and in my rush slam the door. I also see that the exit north is so close. I run and open door with a couple of the stable hands staring at me open mouthed, I noticed that it is raining heavily. Again not sure where this tactical genius came from, I said to the stable hand closest to the door, "If anyone asks I went east." I go quickly and carefully to the Caravan Masters wagon and go inside and hide, that is located back towards the other end. As soon as I am inside and resting, I noticed some kind of weird glowy thing in middle of wagon. Looks sickly green. I feel uneasy with this but not able to do anything with this, leave it alone and set Maren's body down. I have to think.... after a few rounds of trying. I sigh, and mentally say: Well I tried. I cannot think of anything, So I just sit and prepare for worst. I am sure the Devil will find me soon, or hopefully it will run around outside looking for me. Why must it have the rod? Nothing comes to mind. I will have to ask my astute friends if they have any insight or wisdom to dispense. My mind is definitely blank on this subject.

After a few minutes, I hear a commotion, I try to leave and find my way blocked.  (It snuck in while I was trying to clear my thoughts, but I did notice that the door open and something invisible and small enter).  When I tried to bypass, it blocked me, immediately it transformed into the Bone Devil and filled the limited space of the wagon, I tried to hit it and missed, but at least it could not hit me either. Then before I know it, door opens and a very high keening noise comes from opening, and a brilliant light explodes from the crystal, and when things clear, the wagon has a huge hole on other side and Devil is no longer there, infact, there is holes going through four more walls beyond the wagon. I wish I knew what happened(Del Pique used his special sword combo that emits a very powerful ultrasound attack). After some time we have to pay for some of the death that was metted out by the Bone Devil. The captain of guard wants us to pay and we horribly under pay them, I think Traubon was being cheap but I do not really know. Until Celeste assists, not sure what kind of item a white glove with gold filagree, but she willingly gives it up to pay for sacrifice of guard to family.

Celeste comes to town and keeps me company till Maren is returned back alive. I always wanted to see that happening(of how a person is raised up) but never found the time. She seems to have Tensers interests involved and will guide us there. We book passage from Irongate to go to Mage Point, two weeks travel. We go to the major seaport and City of Greyhawk. As a side note, at the harbor, Celeste made the entry in very easy, not sure what she did and no one wanted to know how she did it. Well I did but I am so enraptured with her stunning beauty that I keep forgetting to ask her.

Innkeep at Mage Point says to see Simera in order to see Tenser.  Might take several weeks. In meantime, most everyone goes out gambling. I am not interested but, I will watch them all. I see Del has a gambling problem, I keep reminding him to stop or he will lose everything, but he kept on going . It is fascinating to watch, have been offered to join, but I still refuse on grounds that we are not in control with gambling.

Pirates be there!!! Luckily we bypass any would be plunderer, on the high seas.

Finally after eight weeks of waiting(Sept 6), unfortunately had to borrow money from Maren(20 platinum), we are going to be able to see Tenser tomorrow. By chance we happen to meet a famous adventurer who is like a legend of adventurers. It seems he knows us a little also, I am so shocked, he is actually interested in us as a group. Does that make me a popular person? Makes me wonder if that changes a person, I hope to stay the same. I am sleepy, I think I will take a nap again after my training and studying.
