Sabrina's notes and thoughts - Fizzbang 3

22 Highsun

After overhearing someone mention that Varis was one of the Fizzbang three. I knew I had to sign up. I'll finally will get to taste some sweet revenge on Varis when we save the day. Who useless saving now!!

I began the mission in good spirits, the group seems a capable bunch - a few brutish types but I suppose they can't help it. I also noticed that **Artermis**, Alexandria's younger brother was with us -he better not try anything with his 'healing' on me.

Sadly, my good mood quickly soured as that fool **Fergal** got us lost, instead on going north west we ended but back on the main road - seriously a child would do a better job, so much for the minotaur's famous sense of direction. Eventually we got our bearings and were off in the right direction before nightfall.

A spent that night's watch with **Sairina**. I was looking forward speaking to the elf as she has made such a good reputation for herself in Hope. I honestly don't see the appeal, she's uneducated and a bore. Despite her shortcomings, she did deter away some goblins that came too close to camp. I would have had the satisfaction of killing them, but with the red dragon around, you never know which one is going to be it's new favourite pet.

Continuing on course *(what a miracle*) we discovered an ancient stone circle. Regrettably there are holes in my knowledge on such things, but what I do know is that it is likely to be used for teleportation or perhaps summoning. I best do some reading when I get back to hope.

Sticking to the task at hand we pressed on and were ambushed by frogs. FUCKING FROGS. Initially I thought killing the local wildlife was going to be a push over. I mean I took a few out with one cast of magic missile (*god's I'm good*) but then the little red toads started to explode and injured most of the party. I do have to admit, I was impressed at one of the giant frogs that tried to eat **Fergal**.

**Artermis** nearly died in the fight, if it weren't for that the token from Lathander he carries. Maybe he'll make a wise life choice and convert. Nevertheless, I still had to save his arse later in the fight. Then he saved mine, and it fucking hurt! It felt being awakened with a lighting bolt. I told him NOT to touch me. He better keep his hands to himself next time!

That evening we camped in a beautiful clearing covered with bioluminescent fungus about 6 miles north to the slaver's keep. I harvested some of the fungus for myself, motelight I believe it's called. I spend my watch with **Sairina** again. Awful conversation. I also noticed that she has some issue about me being a naturally gifted caster, she must be jealous or something.

Later that evening I awoke to a filthy troll dragging me out of my tent. Seriously, does anyone respect personal space in the frontier? Luckily the monk **Furious** was very helpful in getting my out of the trolls grasp. Trolls are a difficult foe to slay. Even fire it wasn't enough to permanent end the bloody beasts. **Seonbi** said that acid would do the trick, not like we had any handy. **Artermis** went down in the fight again *-pathetic.* But it served as a message, we need to go back to Hope and prepare. Hopefully the troll that we decapitated takes it's sweet time in re-growing its head so it doesn't come after us.

Mounts would be vital for this rescue mission. Sadly my lack of money is going to be an issue. I hope Varis will just embarrass himself for me.
