No Man's Land

Our party changes again

The lizard-elf-thing has disappeared. Left a note--his calligraphy is horrible. I should offer to tutor him when (if?) he returns. We have, however, acquired another party-member to temporarily replace him. This new one is a human male caught between life and death, living as a spectre of sorts, and he was once the servant of a wizard of this land. Before all humans in this land were destroyed by the orcs, that is. I'm not the least surprised to find that humans were the ones who'd altered the orcs to their current state, nor that the orcs turned and bit the hand that fed them. Entirely typical of both races, from what I've seen.

Tavis and Renn have moved from 'courting' to just plain 'together.' I, for one, am vastly amused. They make rather a cute couple. Although I was less than enthused when Tavis tried to blow his head off by testing one of the little balls we found by biting it. Thankfully he's all right--he'll just be unconscious for a while, most likely. Tillyr is doing well, I think, and seeming to relish the company of the non-corporeal human. Let her work off some of that insatiable curiosity on him--it'll give the rest of us time to breathe. She's a dear girl, but her questions make my head spin sometimes. Jovvi is still somewhat anguished over missing her familiar, but seems otherwise well and has perked up much in the last days.

Shot a deer for dinner--I'm glad to feel useful for once. This place throws off my senses... I haven't felt myself since we arrived. It certainly doesn't help that I'm forever worrying about what might be going on at home... and thinking about how every extra day we spend here is another day that Tillyr will have to spend exploring our world when we return finally.

By the stars, I miss the Silverwood, my friends and family, and, most of all, Caolte.
