Last entry I closed with "This ale is good." I need something stronger. Not surprising really. We've been in Bornos long enough that some shit was bound to get stirred up. I just didn't expect it to be shit falling from the sky and blowing up a tower. Got to admit, it was pretty awesome. But there is bound to be some fallout. Heh.
I don't know for certain, but I'm moderately confident that Jerricho was behind this "air strike." He was really interested in finding out more the Council of Owls and demon that had possessed Jarek. I don't know if this strike killed the demon, but it probably killed Jarek. Oh well, he was prick anyways.
Aside from the air strike, the day was pretty eventful from an intelligence standpoint. We've been trying to make sense of the ins and outs of the Tainted Ones, the servants of the God-King (fucking trolls), etc. Jerricho gave us a tome called "The Knights of Mist Valley" and it's given a lot of insight into this and other things. Namely, it looks as though we are in a possible continuation of some larger, more cosmic, competition. What I glanced from the closing pages (I like to start books at the end) is that the Giants and the Tainted Ones aren't on the best of terms. I like this - I can kill trolls, goblins, and servants of the God-king with impunity.
It's been on my mind and I want to find the missing piece, so I disclosed to Jerricho that I had the Dark Blade. All he could say was "this is a might magical weapon." No shit, Sherlock. He might be holding on to some more information about it but I don't know. We'll be spending more time with him as we escort him and the kiddos to the Domelands.
Jerricho is physically weak. He did reveal that he performs experiments on himself with various herbs, potions, etc. But he's wicked smart. I've seen and experienced that physicality is not the only factor in power. He's a powerful caster. I hope he can be a good ally, if in fact he wants to be an ally.
