From the Journal of Hrogar

We killed a Beholder, and hopefully that was a good thing. Part of me worries that he was rightfully guarding the lower levels from thieves or something like that. Although it's probably more likely he was a guard for someone living down there. Which is perhaps really the more serious possibility, because we didn't do any searching beyond where we found the Beholder. Someone put the Beholder there, and someone summoned the Jinn to the upper level to cause trouble for the nearby town. And we don't know who it is or why they're doing it, and we didn't do anything to stop them. We hopefully slowed them down, but I would have liked to do a bit more searching, but the others wanted to move on quickly.

Sometimes I fear the others want to move too quickly. To focus only on the primary mission at hand, and to Tartarus with the rest of the world. But I feel we need to be balanced in our approach, attacking both the causes as well as the symptoms. If we focus too much on one and not on the other, it will prove disastrous.

Still, we've at least slowed down whoever was attacking the town, so perhaps that's enough. And who knows, maybe after we deal with the Temple we're heading to (assuming we survive) we can head back and finish off whoever is causing trouble for the town.
