Nogol's Journal  

 

Well, I finally got my hands on a book. Not easy to come by here. Kobolds tend to burn them when they find any. Not real sure what I'm going to do with this now that I have it though. But I'm the only dwarf in the Rest with a journal! At least the only one I know about. I'll have to look into that, see if I can spy any other books.

been a few days since I got this, but now I know what I need it for. Have to keep track of things.

That drooling idiot Fangskull has the most beautiful forge hammer I've ever seen. The idiot uses it to bash gnolls in the head. He doesn't deserve such a wonderful tool. I need to get that from him as soon as I can figure out how.

I just saw Nogit's gift. How Bartel got something like to give her I'll never know. He probably swiped it out of the city.

He says that he knows a way in, though I always figured that was a lie. Now what's that girl gonna do with such a heavy necklace. Besides I can't stand that Bartel. He's not good enough for my sister. It might do him some good to have to go find her another gift anyway.

Today was tough. Gnolls swarmed into the area, attacking everything they could get a hold of. Of course I managed to avoid being noticed by them, though that required pushing Grundle out of cover to hide my shift to better cover. Too bad Grundle isn't as smart as I am. Stupid gnoll took that ring off his finger before it ran off tho. The Gnoll was called Ripskin or something like that. I suppose it will fall asleep some time, then I can recover Grundle's ring for myself.

I got it! I knew that idiot Berrina would lead me to her hiding place eventually. I plucked that magical bladestone from where she stashed it as clean as you please. Trouble is, I have it but I have to be careful if I want to use it or she'll find out. But at least I have it. Maybe I can sneak off someplace and try it out of my new dagger.

I've had enough of that gnoll. He tromps around acting like he knows something we don't. So I followed him today, to see what he's up to. Well, he went into some gnoll meeting. I couldn't get close enough to hear what was going on, so I snuck into his camp instead. I found the most incredible ping mug. I would have had it too but he came back and I had to scamper like a gnome to get away
