Bloodstains on the Captain's Log!

Entry 13.

The life goes onward, not like planned but it rolls nicely. I agreed the things with Tamina and we - We are. Things with Lilah on the other hand are great. It is wonderful that she has this fiercy soul under her surface calmness.

Nashkel, Amn; Exelent place. They value the trade and with them you can reason. The Gate and it's dukes arent anything else than bunch of warmongers. I cant still understand how the Waterdeep's wench got that much power in Naskhel. There might need be an accident soon. When we were in Nashkel's fine tavern the Priestess simply started to insult us and defend "banites" she is paranoid and dangerous, I dont dare to try and hire her.

Batten down the hatches men
We've been through hell and back again
Traitors ‒ seen 'em come and go
No scars, no gold, no pride to show
The price to pay for mutiny
Is somewhat certain death
For you to see

Dead men tell no lies

Next happenings are clear but unbeliable. I cant talk about these to anyone, not yet. I was chosen - Fate. I died most horrible death while listening this beautiful song. I left my body behind and answered to the call and travelled to her. (I have to say that resisting something as powerful as the song would probally been deadly for my own soul.) This kind of creatures are sent to lure sailors to their doom. Lead them to death cause their mind cant resist. Or sent as reward, as a gift. The Queen of the Depths is truely Glorious!



It is hard to find words for what it was. Mortal pleasures cant be compared to what I felt with her. I have my course now - Guided by greater powers.

Under the waves of a blue Sea
Dwells the mighty; Umberlee!
Sailors praise the glorious name
Of the ruler of tides; Umberlee!

Entry 14.

The Holy Words

The sea is a savage place, and those that travel it had best be willing to pay the price of challenging Umberlee's domain. All should know the Bitch Queen and fear her, for the wind and the wave can reach everywhere if sufficiently angered. Fair offerings bring fair winds to sea travelers, but those that do not pay their respects will find that the sea is as cold as Umberlee's heart. Spread the word of the might of Umberlee, and let no service be done in her name without a price. Make folk hear the wind and wave unless a cleric of Umberlee is there to protect them.

Entry 15.

The old memories burn like fire, water can never heal such pain. Even saying her name without rum feels worse than a stab.

When I lay in bed at night - Wishing well
When I pray for recovery - Feeling hell
Suffocating in my own filth
With no fresh air to inhale

Kat, the old prisoner of mine have started to play her own game with us. I need to figure out do I need to get rid of her before her actions causes any troubles.

Alas, my Queen grant me strength.

Entry 16.

It is done. The weight is off from my shoulders for now. I am still alive even after the deed? The guidance of the Queen is truely powerfull. My hands, ruined by burning touch of the Trident, I need to seek somebody who can take this pain away.

Oh, who is raised by the sword
Can't be beaten
Who is toughened by the fire
Can't be burned
Awaited by immortality
Are the ones sacrificing their lives
To blood, to Fury, to the Code

As ye saw, as shall ye reap
We will turn your fields into death
Shining our blades smash all down
Guidance of Stormy Winds
We complete the ancient rule
Each of us was created to kill

Lenora, what are you? Was your gestures and emotions true? Was my paranoid mind a thing which kept us part or was this fate? If this was fate I wish that we shall meet again. Like from all the begining. The paladins which locked me into Candlekeep's jail should do a suicide cause they were the ones who acted as tools of my God at the first place. They broke the terms of parley and Valkur suffered. Breaking the Code leads the horrible results.

Now let your prayers fade
The weak ones will meet their gruesome fate
Loyal minds will not break
The bold people of Fury
Have raised to get their victory
You depend on our mercy

Once again I talked with Dovey. As I wrote before I truely hope that she finds what she seeks or realises that she has life ahead her. She is sweet and nice with her own way, more than eyecandy.

A new man joined into the crew, Marrok is his name. Good and true, old bandit. We shall soon sail to Amn and hire us a lot of new men, I have contracts to fullfill.

Lilah, her plan is actual sounding exelent. Suprising good, I gain gold with minium of efforts and I am able to enjoy from her smiles. Life is back on its tracks.

Entry 17.

Dancing with death. I have missed dancing so much, it tastes better than strongest of rums.

Jonas the knight of Brown Hole and Merielle the Sunshine left, if the words from my spies are trustwhorty. May they live long happy life without standing on our way. The Coast did better without those two. Jonas poisoned the mind of my Fire-Heart and Sunshine - Sunshine didnt do anything against us. She even healed my wounds, brought me back to living. I wonder does her God agree to what she did in the past? I am living - thanks to her.

I hear your silent cry
lost in the rainy night
No reason to live for
one reason to die for

I am the one who has fallen into the path of Shadows
And that road never seems to end
I am the one who has drowned into the sea of Tears

Maybe they know that I dont carry hate towards them. Probally they dont know that I own to them and I wish to pay back.

Wonders of life I say.

Rumours spread about a Amnish village that was under attack by Flaming Fist soldiers. War is closer than we think. War which makes the Dukes reget. Fury from North - Amn from South - Black network from inside.

The new era is at hand and I will be the one who takes the advance. We shall sail to Amn in few days.

Entry 18.

The ghosts of past are coming to haunt me and people around me arent feeling hate towards the race of orcs. Winds are truely weird.

This same ghost, known also as an orc Kaltyra started to lecture me about what is right and what is wrong. Who is it to tell me how I should live or feel!? It drove Randall the Beast into his death, it probally made Nari to walk away too like she made Lilah to do now. I havent miss Lifestealer this much in months. I felt her hate towards the orc, the lust to make it scream and suffer.

Scoundrels and brigands and ne'er-do-wells
And creatures dragged up from the black pits of hell
You'll find the relief in a tankard of ale
So Roaringshore is where we will sail

Crew's treasure grows. The trip to Amn will be profitable. The caravan which happened to give their goods to us didnt never arrive to their destination. By the Queen's will we shall use their, now our goods to Sea Wolf.

Valqis and Ely might be able to get somesort show up in Broken Goblet soon, I was going to use the coming event to ask Lilah's hand, hold few feasts and gain that way good and fair man looking reputation in Roaringshore. I will do this all without Lilah then, I can always save the ring if winds change.

The enemy ships are within our sights.
War on high seas, prepare for blood tonight.
Fire the wands to breach their hulls, we'll kill them and claim the gold,
ATTACK!!
We attack in the night!
Scour the ships in search for treasure.
Thrashing and slashing, your death is our pleasure.
With blood on our swords and our ales raised to the sky, now you ships are are burned, our black flag flying high.

After Basilius vanished Ironsoul have been quiet. Maybe he wont even send a new man?

Entry 19.

I havent seen Lilah in days, infact I havent seen her after she walk off. Troubling. We will do her plan with or without her. Althought I nor my crew wouldnt mind her company. I should have belived some of the oldest markings in the code; Women onboard bring only misfortune and troubles.

Suddenly I memorize,
asking what I left behind.
Nothing.

I feel sick. It is time to take a mark.

Entry 20.
I now have an actual treasure chest. I can't help than grin when I think all those tales about pirates. Were those true?

Simple silver ring. [I wont never forget you Fire-Heart.]
Silver necklace. [Kat, where are you Wild one?]
Potion of shapechange. [Blue-Wave Dave, are you dead?]

Oh I have seen wonders you'd never have dreamed,
And taken my fair share, I must say
Holds full of booty I happily seized
From crews who would not see a new day

Balduran gold come and go, gem stones got saved,
But I know more lay on the horizon

What there is to write? The mark which I took is better than I hoped. Vicala's fingers and mind is skillful. Even if she is bit weird and in ruins she is friend, close one. I cant never be sure was my choice right. Maybe she will give another.

It sickness me what they did to her. I will get my and her revenge.

A thunderous crash in the dead of the night
We ready our weapons, prepare for the fight
My band of comrades, so cruelly betrayed
Now face the cold edge of justice's blade

Lilah's plan worked, everything went fine untill I heard what we got out from the robbery of the Friendly Arm Inn. It was disapointment. Seems like all these adventures, bumbs, knights and wenches who walk along the trade road are nowdays poor bastards. Filty, I dont even wish to try what we did with the Beast; Banditry.

Entry 21.

Tamina. Why?

I thought that I could get throught this. Live with this without feeling need to whip this sickness out from her. Tamina - Krisaga. No God will bless that thing, and that later is pulling others in this act of sickness. There is a reason why men and women were created.

Hatred's occultation
causing harm upon their relation
No amour tomorrow
when love shall be consumed by sorrow, sorrow!

Sometimes I wish that I could return back to old Luskanian ways. They know how to deal with people like Krisaga.

In olden days these kind of acts were a shameful disgrace
Maybe the price of jealousy and hate sealed her malicious fate
One night the village was awakened by agonizing screams
Her room burned like the sceneries in Hell
She suffered like a pig
Oh God, I love this tale to tell!

But no - I keep my word. For time being. The thing is that, I wish this not to spread. If this gets serious or spreads amongst my people I am forced to cut the snakes head off. Heartless, I wish that I could be like my father once were.

Speaking of Fathers, the prisoner that young half-elf woman or should I say a kid. She is mine. I am sure about it now. Avanei Hellstorm-Gelven the name sounds sweet even if she is a pain in arse. Her bad manners have probally came from her mother - Who else could have made her that stubborn and arrogant? Tonia returned also, she looks just like I remember her. How one one kiss bring so much memories and feelings back? And Alas... If one kiss brings such what will next twenty bring along?

Vicala, understanding her needs higher powers I belive. Or time and close moments. Red seems to find way to please her, it is good. Should I feel something else than joy when she brings gifts to me? Time will tell what she wishes to gain with these gems -many in numbers.-

Entry 22.

My spies gave their reports today. Everything is going as planned.

Your ideals are wicked and deceiving
How can you find peace?
You seek the righteous, but find the void

Till then I will enjoy from life's little pleasures. Company of wolves, hin cider, rum and sun set. I sent a mithral chainshirt to Avanei - I paid it with my own gold. Crew will not have business with her. She is too important.

Something is missing. Even if I like these furry and playfull wolves I need to talk with somebody. Be it tiefling wench, arrogant elf or drunk sailor - I dont care. Roaringshore and it's people have started to annoy me. Maybe I will continue my journey from Gullykin to Amn? No more than day or two but still. Quater Master One Eye has his orders and Sea wolf is guarded by the best of my men. First Lieutenant Red knows also his duties even if he moves them to other officers.

There's a place in the North, far far away
Home for the wandering man

Entry 23.

Old Times Cruelty

Enter the halls of distant memory
Feel your previous actions once again
Your lies and deceit
Your hate and long lost love
Walk through the hallway of you past
Sense the evil like a whip from beyond
The doors keep on forever
Possibility is endless

Wander through one of the bronzecovered doors
And feel the weaves of old times cruelty
Run from the darkness, the endless void
And get yourself cornered by the demons of fear

Running and screaming through these ancient halls
The presence of something unseen carries on

Of old time cruelty
the past haunts you
of old times cruelty
...save me...

The regrets of all actions that you've done before
has now turned it's way back to you

The demons from the past haunts your soul
Walk through the hallway of your past
sense the evil, like a whip from beyond
the doors keep on forever
possibility is endless

Entry 24.

On he hunts with sorrow none
For what hath passed is gone
His sole regret the absence
Of desires worthie his teares

It is a week to the wedding. Nari haunts me more than ever. I won't turn away from this path. This is how it should be. Sharing life with one. With somebody else than the Queen of Depths or old mutt. Some could think that this is dangerous, if one's touch can guide my thoughts this much what else she could do? Trust.

Alison is not coming. It burns - She said that I killed Gareut. I am still the same man?

What he leaves dead, he forgets
No memories arise from the grave,
No anger glides through the night of Soules

Things with Tamina are like they used to be, almost. It is good. It would be best for her to start to respect the code better. Vane was a bastard but he was Luskanian and my sailor bastard. Good man. One should not never speak bad about the dead or dying.

I feel that Dovey gets herself too deep in troubles. She thinks that she is "security risk" her own words. Alas, I should make her calmer somehow.

Entry 25.

Mister Veil and his oily charm, I have to respect what he is doing. Even if he deals with her. "Just another who wishes work." That what happened in Nashkel's iron mine should burn Valkur Boy's soul if he has one. Deaths of innocents women and children. May his soul be damned to the depths.

Pain pain so much pain
clouds are crying endless rain
I think that it will never stop again
Pictures burned in my mind never to forget
This is all that is left from the life I had

I was able to save one children. Young girl, brave one. God damned rumours are already spreading about this. Soon they will ask donations and mercy, Alas.

We are setting sails and hoisting the colours. The crew is ready.

Entry 26.

The Letter of Marque arrived with the great flag. Our orders are to set sails in three days.

Go - the cold moonlight reflecting off your blade
So many centuries spent waiting for this day
Ride - across the seas beneath a blackened sail
Know that a painful death awaits us if we fail

Marriage. Union. Weight? No, it is wings. My Queen knows that my vow came from the heart. I think that Lilah knows it too. Black's words were also true and fine, exelent priest. Nay hiding what he actually is under gold and gems. As straight as Luskanian cutlass.
