Hinzel. Reflections and memories.

[rick2222]

Thanks to some advice, I think i'll start a journal... ///wip

[rick2222]

Come to the sword coast they said...lotsa tieflings up here so you won't be run off they said. Guess I'll agree they were right about that part, but does there always have to be a Lich, Demonlord, or worse that threatens everyone and everything? Guess it's a good thing I found the good company I did...helps keeping you from just, moving onto somewhere else. Maybe a little too tired of moving...not sure if I can do it again.

What happened today...go to the White Mask, Dragon flies over the town and everything just...

Always happy to see Annie happy and well, that just makes having to fight these things worth it, I'm not just watching out for myself anymore...

Should maybe find a way to shrink myself more often, odd needing to have to ask others...

I really hope Ivan is right, maybe he hasn't seen that thing again yet...guess he didn't really see it in the first place...it's still watching though, why can't I hide from it...

I really need to handle things better, can't just leave things unfinished...

When will my sleep be calm...eyes oozing darkness...

Love you Annie.

Never know what to expect around the Friendly Arms...Nelwyn punching Pain low was something...then he got punched by Cela...

Shared bread with Nelwyn, then saw a Frost Giant chasing a halfling...

Teris was off talking to someone for a while...

Always nice to find scrolls of resurrection someone else sold to the Inn's merchant...

And even in my dreams it watches...just as dark a place as when I floated atop the bed...shadows everywhere...how can I hide from that?

[rick2222]

Things seemed quiet around the Inn today, though maybe it's because I'm trying to avoid it. Just said hi to some. Will need to clean out the room and move things to the Forest up north.

Will need to prepare for that trip to Lake went too, food and drink to enjoy the quiet out there with Annie and Layana...I wonder how her spirit journey went...

Pain offered a prize on his sign, maybe I can tell Nelwynn to follow the rules this time so he can win the prize.

Need just a few more gems, then work on the ring can start.

Need to look into the south more...those demons will do something before long, a little too quiet...

How long do I have to carry around that piece? I should've found more by now...must speak to more gnomes...

The stone...have to figure this out...

Have to speak to Ivan...he has to have seen it again by now...I can't be the only one that sees it...

I still have no idea about the wedding...

AND the house...need the perfect spot...

Will Alyssa be back? Where is Garag?

I hope things will be ok...

[rick2222]

Talked to Hoihe, he seems to know quite abit about that...thing and what it's done, my nightmares...

It's nice to get to sit and speak to Nelwynn, not needing to fight or kill is, nice...

I should speak to Kaltyra about a few things should I see her again.

Still need a nice, quiet spot to start on a home...I suppose no spot on the sword coast will be quiet enough...

I know Annie needs her rest and time to..."think"...but I miss her...

It all feels like it's too much sometimes. It was good to see Za'than and Valiant and meet a few other adventurer's, but should I really enjoy running about and killing things?

I hope things can end well, and soon...

[rick2222]

It's been well over a moon and possibly two since i've seen Aiden...and I still don't know anymore than that scribbled parchment Annie showed me...

I find myself pacing a little too much again...I need to head back to the Forest, wait there too, our small camp should be hidden away well enough...just need to spend time with Annie...

Quite the salesman I am...have not gotten any offers for that breastplate yet...

That hin was nice enough to give me that bag, wonder if I'll see those two again...it calmed me easily enough for a bit...

That feeling of eyes on my back won't leave me...

[rick2222]

It...feels good to help others...especially if I am able...but, maybe it's time I ask for aid of my own. I'm...almost sure nothing is -really- there, but...

Second time I've traveled to the underdark...first time alone...I didn't find the one I was looking for, but I was able to help someone regardless...

I'm still...mad at my own failing...that, Wizard...I also had him, and yet his magic served him well...he disappeared and I didn't know what else to do...she healed the wizard, so I grabbed the cleric and teleported...and all I wanted was to visit the lake for some quiet...

At least...I'm getting more gems for Annie's ring. I'll be sure to have it done before long...I hope she likes it...

I'm getting so...distracted...I wanted to stay at the meeting, but I only arrived and my head hurt...and I need some sleep...

The shadows have been good to me though...maybe it'll just accept...no, I just...need to focus on something and...keep at it...keep helping those that need it, and to finish what I've started and has been asked of me...Gond will have his creation found...

I love you Annie...

[rick2222]

That was...how did I get into the Inn bed yesterday? I just remember drinking some tea with Kaltyra and...Kaltyra didn't drink any...well, I got some sleep at least. I still need to really speak to her though...

I see that Pain around...don't really know what to think when it comes to him...he doesn't like to listen though...

I saw that Priest again north of Beregost, he seems to be doing quite well.

It was great to see Annie. Was able to talk and rest and...be near her. I'll, be traveling to the Misty Forest more then. It'll be good to...get away. I just... I need to find just a few more gems though...

[rick2222]

Too many gaps in memory...

Spent time with Annie...bought more gems...saw some of that "tournament"...went into cloakwood mines with Za'than...I can't remember anything else...

[rick2222]

I have no real way of knowing whether I helped Teris or not...though I was able to get him to eat some bread instead of rocks and wood...and I never really know whether what he says is true...

I'm...still not sure what to do about that apple...I still have it, I'll need to find her...

I really need to sit down and speak to Kaltyra...

Need to find those scrolls so I can help Za'than map about the area under Durlags...

Hope I can finish my business and retrieve that ring soon...

I'm sure I'm forgetting things...I always forget things...

[rick2222]

*he scribbles quickly in his journal*Lich...always something...talking dagger now, rings are fake? Where are the other Seekers...Glittergold help me...damned shadows and gems...creatures that don't belong here...Hoihe doesn't want to speak to me either...and now Kaltyra is hurt...Annie...Aiden is back, but hurt too...why is everyone just...hurting...it hurts...*indecipherable scribbles for the rest of the entry*

[rick2222]

The page appears to have been ripped from the journal.

[rick2222]

Beardy...I suppose that, explains a bit...

What good are these damned gods and their blessings...Just wanted to spend the day with Annie...Speak to the Priest in Beregost with her, inside a temple despite being what I am. We receive a "blessing", and what good does that do? We leave Beregost just to run into...Annie nearly...Gwydion, is fine...Things always come back to this damned Coast...We'll leave the Friendly Arm when we can and head to the forest...

[rick2222]

Always have to look around...never know when someone...is there...

The roof...quiet...except for the voices...then someone came up here...it hurt to be near her...she left...

Aiden...what happened...the voices tell me things...could they be true?...i...couldn't help you...

I don't even know what I must do...

Kaltyra seems sad...what did I do...

[rick2222]

It's been a while since I've written anything down...but I'm thankful for this journal...at least I can better organize my thoughts should I need it, and looking back, I'm glad I started this.

Some, of those problems are thankfully settled...Kaltyra is doing well last I saw her, and so is Aiden. I still feel I did something wrong though...something changed, hopefully it's really nothing but, I just don't know...

It's getting further and further apart though, my trips to the Gate to see my...friends...but I feel good I'm able to stay with Annie and care for our child...that still feels weird to say...my child...
