Wensday morning 8th Aug.
Was on duty erly again last nigt, evrything quiet. The Duke reported a meeting or something was going to hapen in the park so I kept an eye out and sure enogh some masked man turned up. Refused to take the mask of, ushual thing about being burned with lots of scars. I give him the ushual speel but he was one of them that realy acts up and woodnt even take it of when the Duke come by. I followed him out of town to make shure he left. He thretened me with something horible hapening after 37 1/2 hours wich by my rekoning is about 8am tomorow so most likly itll be geting poisond by brekfast in the baracks. (Note to Sargents: plese can you tell the cooks that bacon aint ment to be cold gresy and soft and egs are better not burnt and good porrige dont have lumps in it.) It took him ages to stop talking and he seems to think the
opf *crossed out* off *crossed out* snake things that are in Vesper are going to go evrywhere I guess Trinsic as well. And that its all becuse of one man and said it was one of the rulers of the land and he was going round checking up on them to show them lying and
colab *crossed out* colle *crossed out* calob *crossed out* working with the snake things. I told him there was no way the Duke had anything to do with it and finaly he went of and I hope he falls in the swamp. If he comes back dont let him in town *a description of
Snaeval is attached*
The Duke showed me this big black hole thing in the ground on Paladin Isle wich he said was a crater and dangerus wich wasnt hard to beleve. It had some grenish yellowy cristal thing stuck on one ege. Seems it fell from the sky wich is what made the hole exept it only looks like a hole and you cant get in it. He said he was going to get someone to make a drawring of it and send it to the Bloodguard and after that he was going to be buzy with other things so I went of and patroled the town.
All stayed queit but later when I went back to releve the paladin at the gate there was a blue moongate wich did not go away like normal. So I armed up and went throgh to make shure it was alrigt and nothing bad was going to come throgh it to Trinsic. It went to a room with some peple talking one was the Commander from Britain Jordan Jurel. It was his office in Minoc. He was saying about the crater things they are in Skara and Britain and Magincia now so I said about the one the Duke found in Trinsic wich he made note of. The Commander said there is anuther crater somewere becuse 5 things fell out of the sky but no one has found it yet. There was that madman Rex from Cove making truble who said Cove was a crater and betted the Commander that he could find the crater first. The Commander was a lot niser to him than the Duke wood have been. Pierre then came throgh the gate to. The Commander wants us to keep an eye on the hole becuse something called a star beast migt come throgh it or maybe come back to it I am not shure. There is an
ass *crossed out* est *crossed out* a man who looks at stars in the office called Eric or something like that he will say if he finds anything out. The star beast is very dangerus. So is the cristal maybe as the Commander said it made a lich go corupted worse than ushual but he has got the cristal back I hope he dose not get corupted to. As there are not enogh guards at the moment Pierre said he wood ask some others to help us like the elfs and some knights. The Commander made a new moongate to send us back to Trinsic he is very helpfull.
When we got back to Trinsic I showed Pierre where the hole is. We tried to break a bit of the cristal but it is to hard. The hole has to be patroled regulaly it is close to the Keg & Anchor so esy to add to the ushual route.
[OOC all the above was in public and was or could have been witnessed (except Natalie?s note about the breakfast in the barracks) so feel free to put it in the Morning Poste
