Journal of Crunch, Day 299ish-306 or so

-day292 + Sigil day7:
We have decided to re-equip ourselves for the current situation on the Plane of the Seer Aboleth, and have begun work on this endeavor today. Have brought armor in to Watt's Smithy for further reinforcements. Re-evaluated current equipment, returned unneeded item.

Conclusions: In our operations, you should always prepare for the unexpected.


-day292 + Sigil day8:
Discovered remains of a small starfish that had lodged itself onto upper back during undersea operations. Recycled it with dignity. It was a shame, as it was very pretty. Ragnarr has located an artificer willing to craft an amulet that will assist him in spellcasting on the Plane of the Seer Aboleth. I have located an interesting crystal that will aid against further basilisk assaults. No one else seemed interested in acquiring one of their own, however. Azan has foregone his new tower shield entirely.

Conclusions: Increase regularity of debris checks.


-day292 + Sigil day9:
Hrogar has informed us of sad news. He has been ordered by Pelor to gather and command the forces that will assault the Sunken City. He has located an individual to act in his place while he is away, a male organic by the name of Ken Eyroe. Ken says he is from the land of Tir'Narneah in Material Plane subplane 3, where he worked as an arcanist-for-hire. I had concerns over the employment of mercenaries, however, Arkadesh has approved of him and he did mentor Hrogar. I am sure then he will prove to be a trustworthy fellow.

Conclusions: The complexity of the assault upon the Sunken City will be higher than previously expected.


-day292 + Sigil day10:
Have found besst shirrt in nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Have found a very good shirt of surprising comfort in Sigil. Operational funds are now insufficient for any further gear augmentation. Ragnarr and Ken have been exchanging magical advice and information. It is difficult to follow along in their conversations, which is just as well that I am not part of them. Sztuczka was unavailable for visitation due to zealous performance hall security personnel.

Conclusions: The reputation of hair shirts are likely based on organic perceptions.


-day292 + Sigil day11:
Visited St. Dawkins Home for Beleaguered Youth and offered assistance. Brother Speck handed me a shovel and instructed me to purge the dining hall of their supply of moldy goat bread, previously deployed as part of a youth scuffle before the mold-related illnesses set in. Repaired two chairs and a desk as well. The toy supplies were surprisingly intact.

Conclusions: Some component of goats is capable of becoming bread, though not for very long.


-day292 + Sigil day12:
Bored. Polished footwear, cleaned and sorted my clothing, then re-enacted the Battle of Wroat using hats, books, and an inkwell.

Conclusions: Symbology of an inkwell representing Bulwark is surprisingly apt.


-day292 + Sigil day13:
All equipment has been checked and readied. All unit members are ready for duty. Edward Mulligan was brought forth for inspection and exercise. Ken cast a number of protective spells on us before going to sleep. We are prepared.

Conclusions: Pending.


-day292 + Sigil day14:
We leave again for the Plane of the Seer Aboleth. Given the unlikely change of circumstances regarding our capture or deactivation, the person reading this is likely in the employ of the Seer aboleth. To that end, YOUR TIME HAS COME, FOUL FISH. BY OUR HANDS YOU SHALL FALL.
