With the capture and torture of Jaraxle Von?Sah a line can be drawn under this episode. True the female Maylene has still to be dealt with, but it no longer needs to be regarded as immediate. In time she will suffer the consequences of her actions. In fact the longer she delays the inevitable, the worse it becomes for her. So with yet another Vhaerun worshipper marked with the sign of the Dark Mother, the family of Kalannar Von?Sah lies broken and impotent. I, with Lloth?s aid, have triumphed! They may attempt reprisals but it will be futile. The power of Lloth has no boundaries.
That leaves the fragrant Baroness to be dealt with. Her lies, deceit and corruption will eventually be exposed and the last irritation will be removed. Already plans are in motion to bring about her downfall?it will be spectacular!
Now I can move on and establish the surface power base that my mother craves. I will do this on several fronts, including legitimate trade. To these ends I have made contact and agreement with a small but interesting group in Jhelom. After several discussions it became clear that their interests are similar to mine, so there is no conflict. Together we can achieve both our ambitions by mutual understanding. Another advantage is our enemies are the same, so we can aid each other when the occasion arises. I anticipate a long and fruitful partnership.
Another two drifters have joined us. Two sisters. Although half breeds, I can see the potential they have. They will have their uses. Indeed one of the sisters is so young that I have charged Faeryl to instruct her in the ways of the dark. Her faith in Lloth will be made strong and her devotion unquestionable.
Only one thing concerns me, how long can I keep this affliction which torments me hidden? Feryl and SD are fully aware of what is wrong?.nobody else. The question is, how long can I keep it hidden from others?especially my enemies???
I watch, I assess, I report.
