Raising Spellbook

Newly released from prison, we made our way to the burial grounds. The mass grave for the unclaimed dead was a sad sight, but there was little difficulty in obtaining Spellbook. We filled out the paperwork, and I certified Spellbook would be buried outside of Ordelin. As I expect Spellbook to never return to the place, I do not consider the certification false. We quickly realized the awkwardness of making Wolfdale and Sir Valens carry Spellbook from the city, so we sought a wagon. We found a man willing to sell a wagon in much disrepair. After much complaining about the price I paid for such a poorly kept wagon, Robhim ingeniously made whole the wagon, and made bickering about its quality meaningless. Pulling a wagon with a body in it is apparently also demeaning to our glorious muscle-wrought companions, so I also purchased a horse. While we made our way out of the city with little comment, Robhim wandered away muttering something about panthers, rats, and dogs. I presumed he was looking for a replacement companion. We took Spellbook a couple of miles from the city and I preformed the weighty task of asking Kelemvor to return a soul to its body. Kelemvor and Spellbook were both willing, and Spellbook soon woke up quite a bit confused.

On the Caring, Feeding, and Questioning of Spellbook

We had not taken into account Spellbook's lack of clothing or food when provisioning ourselves for his raising. Wolfdale continued to insist we could feed Spellbook my new horse, but we eventually sent people back to the city for food, and Ist'vaech also purchased him some clothes. When dealing with Spellbook, I remember he is a gentle soul, but I often forget he is... of a lesser wit. We attempted to inform him what had happened and the miricale of which he had been no small part, but he lacked the ability to truly comprehend. While we spoke to him, we also asked him about his master and why Spellbook had killed him. Apparently, some villian named Janice enjoys turning strong men against their more intellectual brethren. Also apparently, he uses a rose as his symbol. My companions gathered from Spellbook's sad tale, Janice compulsed Spellbook into killing his own master. To top things off, this Janice is apprently fond of the so-called necromantic arts. He is a fool with which we must quickly deal. Unfortunately, all Spellbook derived from our discussion was that flowers made him kill his master. I'm afraid the half-giant goes into a murderous rage at the sight of any flower. Simon had the idea of using one of Robhim's animal messengers to ask a Harpel from Lone Rock to come and transport Spellbook to the island where people could look after him, and utilize the spells he has tattooed about his body. Eventually Shannon Harpell apeared to escort Spellbook back to the city. Shannon was not much of a communicator. He seemed distracted by the most mundane of things. Odd. One point of note: Wolfdale seemed to imply to Shannon that Spellbook should be used as a "thing" or a slave. I shall have to keep my eye on him.

• We learned these things about Spellbook's master and his house:
  • The main pass-phrase in the house is "The dragon watches you".
  • Spellbook's Master had a mirror he would enter.
  • Spellbook likes playing with blocks.
  • The house's address.

Janice Hunting

My assumptions about Robhim's wanderings were soon proven correct. He reappeared with a mangy mutt named "Dogwood".
