"The best kind of feast
Is the one you go home from
With food still in your belly
With wits still in your head
With blood still in your veins"

<log> Ellywick is very upset. I attempted to ease her upset with a carefully proportioned application of sympathy, liquor and jazz. It had mild theraputic effects, however the unexpected arrival of several innebriated compatriots from out earlier adventure overrode any efforts I might make. They successfully distracted Ellywick…

I was in the garden picking Guindo Santo for the cook, again. Why he insists on stealing into my garden to procure herbs, the effects of which he hasn’t the faintest clue, for his experiments in the kitchen is beyond me. I will make him this tea once more to calm his stomach and after that I believe I will ask the Hawthorns to act as a hedgerow for the herbs.
But, this is where I was when I noticed the plants perk up and a sweet breeze rustle my leaves; I turned toward the direction he always…
Ok, so ... Mother can never find out how amazing that was. She would never let me out of her sight if she knew I could have that much fun just exploring the grounds.
I mean, it might be a good idea to let Irine know about the giant centipedes and…

A better burden on the road
Than plenty of wisdom
It will prove better than money
In an unfamiliar place"

<log> I fear that I have rather exposed myself. I have been too eager to offer support without being asked, too capable, too self-directed. Why? I know how to behave as a golem. I have done so since beyond my remembering. Why would I risk exposure among these people? Is it because Sun and Ellywick are here? Has their acceptance of me…
Ugh. Mother seems to think that the best use of my time is to take a group of random folks on a tour of the fields in search of some kind of lost cargo. She couldn't even tell me what it was, except that it was some kind of "savoury…

Thanks to Willingly, I've just met a number of remarkable people! And we appear to be on an adventure! I think I'll have to adapt this into a short story. I'll have to change some of the identities around just to make sure I don't get any of these folks in trouble with their patrons.
Let's see, we have Grey, who appears to be some sort of automaton, maybe a warforged? But that would be way too obvious. How many of them could there be in Tachros? So far, Grey has exhibited the traits of a…
<log> Today I left the city walls for the first time in 227 years. The fields are much as I remember them, but they stretch on farther. The forest is no longer visible from the city. I am travelling with friend Ellywick and friend Toshi. Friend Toshi is eating things again. It's helpful when they tell me what things taste like, though I worry for his fleshy innards when he swallows them. I think friend Ellywick has come along to help me avoid trouble. If trouble becomes unavoidable,…
