After much work and justifications, a revised holy symbol was created and its sanctification completed. Arkadesh gave approval that it is suitably non-offensive. Plans were made for our journey to the next fortress of the dread aboleths.
Conclusions: One should always seek to carve your own symbology, and not to borrow directly from other symbologies.
-day 285:
We have traveled a great distance by wind, and are camping in the vine-tangled ruins of a mountain town. Some of the others have been here before, and fought a large, roving, meat-eating foliage on this site. The vines in the ruins also devour organic matter. There is a dragon living nearby as well, but it was decided not to seek its recruitment.
Conclusions: Wariness of trees in this area is recommended.
-day 286:
We have traveled a great distance by wind, and are camping in an orcish seaport. Elements of the local orc population appear to be somewhat unscrupulous; they must be regarded with guarded optimism.
Conclusions: Pending.
-day 287:
We have traveled a fair distance by wind, and are camping in Khemhet, a city of Arkadesh's homeland. Arkadesh has been kind enough to permit me to follow him about as he roamed the city. He explained the general operations of the city, including history, societial structures, and defense. The local people do not engage their emotions as previously observed in organics; perhaps this is why Arkadesh had difficulty with my belief system.
Sztuczka provided pleasant musical entertainment for our residing tavern, and so our stay was complementary. Sztuczka is very different from other gnomes encountered; primarily, she has not attempted to dismantle me in the name of science or magic. This is unusual, though not impossible. However, it has occurred to me that Sztuczka is still very much a tinker, but not of machines. She is a Tinker of Emotions. She can invoke great levels of sadness and joy in her audience, inspire a variety of emotional states, and repair hateful or deceitful moods.
Conclusions: Arkadesh's land is neat, and has provided new insight on organic emotional perceptions. Sztuczka's powers over the emotion spectrum are to be recognized and respected.
-day 288:
We have travelled a fair distance by wind, and are camping on top of an underwater reef. Many fish and aquatic organics with self-illuminative abilities were present during the night watch, with a variety of different colors and shapes. Very beautiful. Have never camped underwater before now.
Conclusions: The oceans of this plane are amazing, and
