Journal of Arcadius

Home and Guilt

May I pay the price for what has happened! May those who have died find peace in the afterlife.

Fleeing the evil plane of the Aboleth once more, we returned to the prime material plane. This time, to my homeland. It was my idea. Curse my weakness and vanity! I thought on one hand that if any place was a safe haven, it would be my homeland, and on the other that it would be good to see my family after so many years. Instead we, unwitting fools, brought death in our wake. Bebilith, accursed and vile, from the depths of the abyss via the boundaries of the Aboleth plane, followed us through the portal!

Now, innocents have died, and we brought it to them.

I have brought shame and dishonor upon my land and my family. For this, I must atone. Some of the others seem to want to keep our guilt a secret, I cannot.

At least we slew one of the fiends. though the mightier escaped to some plane unknown.

We seem to have also drawn a stranger, friend or foe is unclear, an archer who claimed to be helping us. He seems to be an incompetent shot, which is either bad or good, depending on which side he is truly on.

O' gods, let us not be burdened with another Tupper!

O' people of the five rivers, I mourn thy loss.

O' Lord Pelor, I accept thy judgment!
