On a particular person whose name shall remain unnamed is an book that, while its cover may appear unremarkable, its contents are considerably less so. Written on the pages is a cipher made from a strange form of Elven transliteration written backwards, then shifted 6 letters to the left in the Thorassan alphabet. The first page, when decrypted, reads as follows:
"If only these vagabonds could have revealed themselves to me sooner... it seems as if I am finally getting noticed and garnering the respect I deserve. I think the halfling knows well enough that she was dangling over a fire pit and that I saved her from being burned. I think the real question is, does she think that I shall forget that a debt shall later need to be repaid?
I hope she does not take me for an idiot. It appears as though the monk and the elven wench who follows him take me for one, and that is... disappointing. They are hiding something from me, but it shall not remain hidden from me for long. Their dancing act can only stretch so far and with so many people. I do not care what they truly are, either... all I wish for is the lord's trust in or compliance with my actions.
I think I shall need shelter, if those to the south of Baldur's Gate follow through on their threats and are not mere peddlers in empty words."

Re: The Assassin's Journal
"I have gained the ability to better blend in with my surroundings, something I have found rather useful in the field. I still prefer to hide in plain sight and administer a poison via tainted wine or a deadly kiss, but it certainly will help in escaping, if nothing else.
Speaking of which, I have also built up a resistance to most poisons. Thus, I do not believe I shall run the risk of having a mishap and having to forcibly purge myself of what is in my system, as I had been forced to do on numerous jobs.
My grand plan is being developed, and while I am taking baby steps at a time now towards this goal, in order to be cautious, the tree shall bear fruit soon enough... and it shall be my greatest triumph."
