Lundar's Library

Day 328, Year 542 of the Ascendancy

Whew! Well it certainly has been a long time since my last update! To
tell yi the truth, I simply haven’t been doing anything newsworthy, and
haven’t found anything worth reporting that others haven’t written
about already. Jazz and Babajaga
are back in action, and their diaries are as entertaining and
informative as ever. Seems they’ve been on adventures to the Ethreal
Plane, and witnessed the makings of a new type of healing potion. As
for me, I’m busy finishing up my work on my McBolie Cavern map, and
working hard on my new Devil’s Island map as well. I’ve also finished
my training with Loovma for now, and my chain has over 80 pulls on it,
without a break yet, and good thing too. My bank account is empty, and
my purse is like a deflated Thoom air-sac, which is to say empty. This
has forced me to sleep in the old, free library, and has cut down on my
ventures to Devil’s Isle, since I can’t afford the boat fare. So, as yi
can see, my last couple days have been pretty dreary.

All that changed today though. The Lok’Groton
Islands’ Foundation for Exploration(LIFE), which I am a member of, made
an expedition to the North Eastern Foothills today, along with such
powerful exiles as Urgelt and Gurgi. We successfully navigated the Orga
Outback and Dread Passage, and we are now camped in the Foothills,
searching for a way to Trillbane’s Library and beyond. So far we’re
doing pretty good; even though three people were forced to depart, we
got to cover a lot of ground today. Our fearless leader Yor thinks that
something significant might happen at noon, so that is when we are
conducting most of our explorations. LIFE intends to camp out in the
Foothills until the next Chaos Storm, so we’ll be here for a while.
This time though, unlike all previous expeditions, we have decided to
camp out at the foot of the Ash Valley, instead of in Katpus’ safe
cave. This puts us in a much better position to explore the Foothills,
since Trillbane’s Library lies to the east. Hopefully we will be able
to discover where the reclusive pathfinder is hiding out at.
