[Back in Cormyr. Later I heard Jiggles account of what happened when the Fire Trap alarm
went off and they came to rescue me from the Temple of Mystra. I have recorded it here.]

DAY 207 continued...

'Well boss, we was waiting at the house like you said and your big sister there was keeping
an eye on the magic purse. Then after a bit, like, she says 'It's gone! He's in trouble!'
So, we was all ready to go anyway and piled out the door. Your misses sent me up first to
talk to the guards on the wall because I'm all sweet and innocent like!
'You have one of ours!', I says, 'We need to see him!'
'The temple is closed!', they say.
I spun a story about him needing medicine, but then when I said
'He might go mental, like! He might be fighting your priests inside. We need to check up
on them!'
That got them interested and one of them went to check.
'His wife needs to see him!' I pleaded and pointed at Lavinia looking all sorrowful and stuff.
So they opened to gate and we all piled in. Shump came running up from the guard house and
Sylvia clattered in, in her full plate.

Then it was a right old fight. I was telling them to surrender and stuff, honest, but they
were all fanatical like. I told the priest to stand down, but his guards just started shooting
arrers at me! The one called Kevran shouted 'Sinners!' and that was that.

Well, there was no holding Sylvia back, cos she likes a good ruck and she cast her Spiritual
Weapon spell and sent this big magic hammer after the guards.

Shump came in and tried to close the door behind him and bar it, but the other guards from
the guards house came running up and pushed against it from the other side.

Your good lady wife went over to help him and the Sylvia too. They didn't harf look a sight!
Shump and your girls pushing against the door on one side and the guards on the other.

But there woz guards in with us too and once the spiritual hammer had dealt with them I chased
Kevran down to the lower part of the courtyard. He went invisible and so I called the Badger
to come and sniff him out. Your badger had been happily biting guards on the ankles at that
point.

Well Mr Badger reckoned the sneaky priest had gone into his room and locked the door. So
I picked it open and went in. Mr B was 'pointing' wish his hackles all raised up so I reckoned
he was in here.

In the courtyard the other priest called Shan Thar turned up with two more guards and shouted
'Defend the temple!'. He cast a Sound Burst spell which hurt the guys at the gate but didn't
stop them getting the bar across it.

Back in the room though I had an idea and picked up the nearly full chamber pot and doing
a spin, got its contents across every wall in the place! I heard the sound of a badger vomiting
from under the bed.
I also heard a startled cough from the corner and picked up a bottle from the table and threw it.
I heard a curse as it hit him square on the 'ead! He then attacked me, but I'm tougher than I
look and soon had him knocked out.

After that we came out and helped with the rest of the fight. Mr B went off to savage another
guard. We thought we had the gate secured but the guards burst it open and we had to fight
them all too. But they were pretty poor fighters against the likes of Shump and Sylvia and towards
the end we were just knocking them out since it seemed unkind just to slaughter them.

Once the fighting was over, we dragged the live ones inside the doors to the east and shut
them. One of the guards had ran down to fetch the Purple Dragons so we were in a bit of a hurry.

We stripped the few knocked out and live guards we had and the two priests. One of them
had an odd circular featureless silver disk hanging from a simple silver chain.

There were also two more guards stood at a door further in the temple. By that time you
could hear us, my lord and I heard you call 'Coo-eee! I'm in here!'

We had some chat with the guards and we heard you say,
'I apologise for knackering your door. I just can't help myself,' which made us laugh
but the guards said they were honour bound to defend the door so we just knocked them out. One
of the wretches thought it was ok to stab me though so I gave him an extra kick in the
voonrables.

Shump and the girls then battered down the doors and the rest you know because you woz
there! Still, I saw you mess around with the crystal ball or whatever it was and then put it
down again in a big hurry. You then looked at the two women who woz just standing there
and your sister said the were 'Waiting for Instructions' like.

Well, I dunno what's up with them, but there is another door there leading down into
the mysterious depths of the temple so shall we get going like?'
