DAY 216  (13 Marpenoth)(October) continued...

Once inside we tried to wake one of the fey up, but I guess our hands were still a bit shaky from combat
so we did more harm than good really.

I had a bite to eat, anyway, then got straight into what I really wanted to do before anything else, which
was to cut open the wisp and see what was inside it. These are fascinating creatures, and to read more see
my further notes on the subject. (see Beast Journal Entry #1342)

I also dissected the remains of the chain welding fey and the howling hound once Shump had dragged it back.
(see Beast Journal Entry #1343 and #1344)

Jiggles helped me by taking notes as I got my hands bloody in the corpses.

After that I went to bed and had the strangest dream about a turtle-man called Sebastian. It was so vivid
and real I was utterly convinced that he had been here with us!

In the dream he had come to the door of the keep and said he had been sent by K. He was a pleasant and thoughtful
fellow and readily agreed to help us in laying siege to the rest of the keep. Alas though, it had all been
a dream. We could have used him.

DAY 217  (14 Marpenoth)(October)

Shump took the night time shift then Jiggles the early morning one.

The chain-wielders had regained consciousness through the night. I spoke to the leader, who could speak the
common tongue. He did not seem like a pleasant fellow.

Sylvia remembered some of her learning and told me they were Shadar-kai, a race of fey people linked by a
curse to the Plane of Shadows.

I asked Maurran, their leader, about who was left inside and he said 'Three more initiates from weyloon and
their handler, plus two more of his kin. No captives.'

I had a plan forming in my head that might have meant no more bloodshed, but Gathan had just woken up
and he had other ideas. He went for one of the tied up Shadar-kai...
