Tana

= About = Tana, along with Silver, traveled with Sizzle pre-campaign. It was revealed after killing the False Hydra in Trant that she was a member of the party. She was a Light (?) Domain Cleric, and her deity was Solare.

= Journal =

Had to start a new journal. Sizzle, Solare bless him, accidentally set my old one on fire. He kept apologising but I didn't mind, i know he's not the mean sort. In other news, the nightmares have been persistent but i'm hoping to visit a temple soon to try and see if the Sun Queen has any answers for me. It would be nice to be able to meditate a bit too with no interruptions

Upon arrival in Slatewood, Sizzle and Silver helped someone with some sort of rat abominations in their basement. Silver wandered off with Sizzle while i was in the library, because he was bored or some other excuse, honestly that man is so reckless and irresponsible. He nearly got Sizzle killed! The basement door almost crushed Sizzle after they caused an explosion inside and Sizzle mentioned that his Big Bird deity had intervened to save him. on a lighter note, I managed to find a pop up book that i believe Sizzle might like about a Phoenix.

Silver and I had another argument while Sizzle was asleep. The damn fool nearly got Sizzle killed again! The two went to a masquerade party at the mayors mansion and Silver convinced Sizzle to set fire to the damn forest. What sort of a madman does that? Of course sizzle being the sweetheart he is did as Silver said and oh boy did things go wild. The Mayor ended up in big trouble with someone called Madam Mayner and from what Silver gleefully told me she turned the Mayor into paste. silver and sizzle walked out of the ballroom after the mayor left to talk to this Mayner woman and came across Rupert the butler cleaning up. Whoever this Madam Mayner person is I don't trust her. Anyone who can so easily murder another person with little to no worry of consequences is clearly suspicious. Silver also didn't listen when i told him to stop carrying Sizzle around in that damn lobster cage contraption like some sort of wild animal. Sizzle is not a pet or a weapon for him to use when he thinks it will be funny, Sizzle is a kind, compassionate little guy who needs a good example in his life. Silver clearly didn't like hearing that because he called me several slurs and left for... Trant i think he said. It doesn't matter, i don't need Silver to help me. Sizzle and I will be just fine without his dangerously reckless influence.

Sizzle and I ran into a large group of interesting folks. They all seemed decent enough and Kazak was so protective and sweet to Sizzle, it's wonderful to be surrounded by lots of people again, reminds me of the old days a bit. Caius is a little strange, they definitely confused me a lot but they seem nice enough and they're nice to sizzle. Demarii reminds me a lot of my sister although much taller.

I finally met this Mayner woman Silver mentioned and I didn't like the way she looked at Sizzle and I. She wanted us to deal with an orc and goblin problem which sounds like a general issue but there's something not quite right about her. She appears to be human but... I don't know. After the incident with the last mayor i'm not going to let her know of my suspicions and i certainly won't put anyone else in danger by sharing them. I feel a little sorry for poor Rupert, our little ragtag group didn't exactly make a good impression on him. He seemed very reluctant to do much talking to any of us and I refrained from mentioning that i knew his name so the poor man wouldn't be as overwhelmed but i'm not sure how much that helped. Knowing that he seemed to have cleaned up what Mayner left of the last mayor makes me wonder if he had any sort of magic to help or if he really did do it all by hand. Either way he shouldn't have to clear up after her dirty work.

We ended up bumping into and possibly adopting a couple folks on our way to deal with the orcs and goblins. Declan is a little abrasive but his attitude reminds me a bit of my nephew, I can definitely see myself getting on well with him in the future. then there's Crest, she's quiet but that may just be because of the amount of people suddenly around her and i know how that feels. To suddenly go from being on your own to surrounded by loads of people, it's definitely overwhelming. Either way they both seem to be decent enough and i'm excited at having so many people around me again. Hopefully after this issue is dealt with at least some of them stick with me and Sizzle, I don't like the thought of travelling alone again.

We came across the camp of orcs and goblins and i'm amazed by Kazak. He just walked straight in and managed to defuse the situation with no violence at all! Now Sizzle has more company of his own kind which i know he missed even if he didn't say anything. I also get more little ones to care for! I may be a little rusty with my babysitting skills but i'm confident that between me and Kazak these little ones will be just fine.

I have never been more grateful to the Sun Queen for blessing me with her radiance. We ventured in a direction that Kazak said he was drawn to for some reason and we came across a mountain with a cave. After a little deliberation we ended up investigating the cave and discovered a blasted vampire thing. It nearly took two of the children before i managed to get to it and of course it could sense the power of her majesty around my person as it quickly fled, making excuses along the way but i could tell it was terrified of being destroyed forever by the power of Solare. It threatened to come after us again but for as long as I am with these people it will not harm a hair on their heads. It will have to go through me first.
