Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

*the writing in the journal now seems to be more collected and in finer detail*

It has not taken me long to reunite with my friends. Just recently, I met up with Sonny again. He is an interesting character. Keeps to himself mostly, but I seem to have some sort of unspoken understanding with him about how to approach situation when we go on a hunt. We took a trip to the Nashkel mines and ran into my friend Taki there. The dwarves in the mine were.. not pleased to see us to say the least. I let Sonny worry about the traps and wires wired around the mine and he seemed to excel in that task. On our way out of the mines, after we found some valuable treasure, we ran into my old friend Seadin. We discussed a bit about the magically sealed door in the mines and then we made our way out before more dwarves showed up.

Just when I thought we were done and leaving with our newfound treasure, on our way out of the mines.. a demon came running towards us on the bridge. Taki was quickest to initiate an attack against it as soon as she saw it. The other two of us proceeded to help her with it since I wasn't just going to let a demon go unnoticed. Just before we managed to kill it, the demon transformed into an elf lady. Apparently, she was the one controlling it according to Sonny, but it was too late. She was dead and that was that. Serves her right for using dark magic like that.

*memoir entry ends abruptly*

*wipes off dust off journal cover*

Dear journal, it sure has been a while, hasn't it? Things have definitely changed since I last put you away at pop's place, but looking at it all, things are not all that different really.

I do miss my old friends.. still wonder what ever happened to Sonny and some of the others. Most of all, I miss Cat, the ruler of the world and my old pals Ryll and Elvaene. Looking back, I regret being mean to Cat that one last time we spoke... but, I just hope she is doing fine and that she is happy wherever she is. Seadin was a good friend too, I hope he's still up to his old self wherever he is. I feel bad for what I said to Aik as well, but it was for the best. Hopefully, she finds someone worthy someday.

Others however I have forgotten.. Gwen is just a very distant memory now.. and so is Kich.. I don't think about them anymore at all.

Hmmm.. looking over my past writing, I was a bit more lost as to my purpose in the past. Now, I am older and know my purpose.. a little bit better. The other day, I heard someone say the Lord Shevarash's name for the first time in a long time.. long has it been that I've hunted any of the dark ones... I wonder what evil plan they are colluding as I write this. I still keep an eye out for persons wearing masks and persons with dark skin.. you never know.

My regular life on the other hand is faring just fine. I almost can't believe I am getting married soon, sometimes, it feels like I'm living in a dream with Roxy. If it is a dream, I hope I never have to wake up from it. The problems have not really settled down though. Now that the elves have stopped pestering her as much, they're now pestering my good friend Vauk.. and now that Andy has returned to the Coast, I'm worried for his well-being as well, what mean things do they have to say for him this time? I hope he knows what he's talking about when he says he'll have a chat with them.. some of them can be rather intimidating.. Hmm... it's too bad Andy and Seadin parted ways.. he still owed me a rematch. Perhaps another day. At least Dante is still around, maybe I will go find him actually.

The next time I see you diary, let's hope you're not as dusty as last time.

*puts diary away*

*continues to write in journal*

Well diary.. I am now married to the love of my life, things could not be any better.. well except that drow attack on the city.. and that there's a bunch of outlaws killing elves.. but I am not too overly worried about it. Everything is just perfect at the moment. I can't believe how well Dajala organized the whole thing, I only wish that Dante and Ivaris were there to have seen it. I will have to pester Dante about it sometime. I was also so glad to see Rysie and Dela there, they make a very cute couple.

Hmm.. hmm.... hm, Leonia's song was amazing too, very special. I'll have to remember I owe her a favor now.

All in all, everything is perfect now. Hmm.. have to go diary, honeymoon time!

*ends writing abruptly*

*picks up journal and continues to scribble some notes*

Dear journal. It has been a mix of good and bad days lately. On one hand, I am still really happy with Roxy. Ok, more than just "really happy". Honeymoon was perfect!

It may be time I came up with another prank to cheer up the both of us though, or perhaps another bouquet of white roses? Or perhaps, both! More importantly though, why is it that the law seems to be after her constantly. It saddens me so much when I hear that the Duke is once again out to get her in some way. She has been a better citizen than anyone else I know. Most of the Weavemasters can see this in her at least, Elias has been extremely kind to both of us, and so has Dajala and Ivaris. Who knows what the Duke wants now, I just hope we get whatever rumour or other non-sense over once and for all.

Now on to the good things. I got around to doing a sparring session and a duel with Dante recently. Good times. I was the victor this time, but only because of luck. We both got very close to downing the other, perhaps next time it will be him in my position. I also spent some time training with my student which was absolutely excellent. I even learned a couple of things! Knew I shouda listened to Sonny all those years ago though.. damn. I managed to win once, and she won twice. Perhaps if I'd use my bow the third time.. maybe the outcome may have been different, I suppose I'll never really know. It is better that way, that she won. It made me so happy to see how far she has gotten. I have been thinking about getting another student as well.. I have yet to find someone I deem fit of it though. Oh well, perhaps another day. For now, I have to deal with this damned Duke meeting.. thing.. non-sense.. formality, whatever it is.

*continues where he last left off, not bothering to mark a new entry*

Dear journal, sorry I've left you to get dusty again recently. I have been very busy, you know, married life and all, so you can blame Roxanne for the whole dust thing. I have been spending all of my time at home together with her and it is the best time of my life to be honest. I leave the house sometimes to go for a patrol, but I don't actually go for a patrol because that usually tends to be rather boring. I have been trying to find a suitable spot for a vacation house somewhere deep in the forest, where wild creatures won't bother us and the Duke's laws won't bother us either. I've been travelling lately towards the East, towards some places called the Dales and a land called Cormyr. Maybe there is more peace and quiet to be had there, though I am not entirely sure of it.

In any case, someday, I will find us a suitable place to raise a family. Roxy told me we can't have kids running around the Tower, so that's not an option.

On another topic, several strange things have taken place as of late. First of all, Vauk left the Weavemasters which I was rather shocked to learn. I know he has issues to deal with, but I always though the Exarch was guiding him through them. Apparently, he felt it was necessary to leave.. I asked him why and he told me some things, but I felt he was still hiding something. Ivaris wasn't sure about why he did it either. And then there is the whole Ivaris and Dajala break up. Not entirely sure what happened there to be honest, they seemed more than happy with each other. I guess Alison was mostly right when she told me that adventurers don't tend to stick together for too long. Fortunately, I am extremely lucky and have Roxy. I still regret lying to her all those years ago. Anyway, that's in the past. Now is the present and Roxy is making me sweet cakes. Until next time dear journal.
