At least we got well paid for that fiasco with the golem. I suppose we’ll see what comes of all that nonsense with the Red Star or whatever. This may be an important gap in my education… But I digress. I seems I’m still on good terms with Reg, since he not only paid us for delivering the golem: he threw in an extra 50 gold for bringing along its sword. And even better, he was able to get us five tickets to the wizard rave at the Dega House. Time to resume climbing the social ladder! I have been too long away from the people of real style and influence.

How could Narcel’Uss have possibly thought I meant she should compel me to debase myself in front of the help?! I was just trying to see if she thought they were already afraid of us. But nooooo, she had to go cast some sort of compulsion on me, forcing me to sit on my haunches like a dog. At least no one of real importance was around. And I got even with her later anyway.

What a jarring experience. How did Victoria end up as Dega’s advisor? How has she risen so far so fast? She’s as beautiful and as conniving as ever. And the fact that she kept sending me glasses of water all night would seem to indicate our old rivalry is still fresh in her mind. What to do about a problem like Victoria…
On the plus side, I managed to get even with Narcel’Uss and no one was the wiser. Poor Peter: it must be awful disintegrating everything you touch. No wonder the lad is so skinny. Anyway, it was a simple matter to trip him into Narcel’Uss. I’d say having the back of her robes suddenly disappear in the middle of a high society extravaganza is sufficiently embarrassing payback.
In her drunken, distraught state, Narcel’Uss seemed genuinely moved J’s kindness. I’d say she’s truly grateful. Two birds, one stone: I have my revenge and party cohesion is increased.

I can’t decide whether to despise or pity Gregory Bagville-Sackins. He seems completely and willfully unaware of poor and uncultured he really is. And he is a horrible traveler player. His wife, Angela, on the other hand is extremely cagey. Cunning, even. I think she may be the reason the family is not worse off than it is.
That and their creepy man, John Sorrow. He is a cryptic and unnatural one. He seems to be the real source of any income. But also spouts portentious riddles. He bears watching.
