Day 297, Year 546 of the Ascendancy

There are some parts of this island that can give an exile a dark
feeling about that place, like a chill running up their spine. The
three known locations of such phenomena are the Noids Cavern, the Gnome
Mines, and a beach to the west of the Southern Sand Dunes. Today,
Mjollnir, the adventurer Stinkfist, and myself, set about exploring
these locations.

We started off by heading south of town, to the
southern beaches. As we walked around, checking for any hidden
illusions and paths, sure enough I got a dark feeling about the place.
Strangely, neither Stinkfit nor Mjollnir sensed anything.

We scoured the beaches, checking every nook and
cranny for anything that might be suspicious, but we were unable to
find anything. We then headed to the gnome mines, and again I got a
dark feeling about the place, and again my companions sensed nothing.

While we were exploring, we got caught in the
fiery Gnome trap, and had to exit via the back entrance. We then
decided to explore the caverns under the Maha Den, which turned out to
be a mistake because we were soon overwhelmed by undine.

Luckily, we were soon rescued by Tara, Dandu, and
Clyde. Clyde and Dandu decided to help us in our explorations, and with
their help we explored the rest of the underground caverns. We then
returned to the Gnome mines to get one last look at the place, then
returned to town.

Disapointingly, we were unable to solve the
mystery of the “dark feeling.” Stinkfist is now offering a 2000 coin
reward to anyone who can solve the mystery. More details about the
reward should soon be posted on the Adventurer Guild Scrolls.
