Squad,

This might blow up in my face. We’re going into the Mournlands – another group of keepers got disappeared, and we’re supposed to go help find them if we can, or at least find out what’s left of Eston. Used to be a big mining town, with lots of us. Don’t see that second part changing much, the Mournlands is where the Lord of Blades is

well squad, he’s not wrong in what he says, but he’s wrong in what he does. He’s fucking nuts, but he ain’t wrong. This new world we’re in – I’m in – it’s not right. We still can’t congregate muchly, they still see us as things and weapons, we’re still not a free people. You know how many of us still are seen as property? If I could burn Karrnath to the ground I might.

S I can hear you yelling about it now. Shut up, this is how you got yourself dead buried inna ice block under the icetop mountains.

The Mournlands.

fuck

We got warned about living spells, and I don’t much like that at all. Fuck.

and warforged as big as anything, bigger than a building. Fuck us all.

Fuck’s a great word, squad. So glad we learned that one.

I learned another awful thing, the soft folks can come back after they die. That sounds awful and wet and absolutely not a mission assist. At least if we came back it wouldn’t be wet. And sometimes the soft ones pretend to look like they died, but they’re not dead-not-dead, I can get down with that. Modify your frame. But maybe not with bees. Xtopher’s of the missing keepers and I hope his bees are okay.

We had to take a raft over, and it was spooky. Half the raft was sad, so many feelings. Gross.

In the middle of everyone just being a sad sack (not me though, I’m completely mentally healthy in every way) (DO NOT SAY DENY TO ME PC, DO NOT SAY IT.) (SHUT UP) we got attacked by giant mudbugs. Clacky hand bug men. Chull or something. N’D3ll – he’s another warforged, fella spent a long time out being a scarecrow and communing with nature – he made us all tougher and stronger. Fuck yeah, it was great.

The clacky mudbugs are so bad at fighting. I was magnificent. Sollyn was also magnificent. A lot of hitting. S would love her. DD would love her. You would all love her. mission. Assist.

Boom-Boom was also there with us and he was great at hitting too. I owe him a big thank you, because he got me curious about food, and that led me to chocolate.

I like this group. We hit so many mudbugs.

Eston is ruined, and flooded and earthquakey and spooky. There was a living firespell. Big dislike.

And creepy. Fuckin’ carosusel dolls. NO. NOT MISSION ASSIST. DENY.

We left them alone, because we’re all fuckin’ geniuses around here. Look I can learn restrained. Non-lethal. There is some – technorganic shit happening here. Metal vines, and a body being eaten by robot beetles. What.

Body had papers with the seal of Andar, name of Bren, probably one of those scavengers.

heard a made up word for the creepy dolls, carrionettes. Don’t like that.

Not just fire spells can be living, squad. Saw a living illusion of the other keepers, Xtopher cast at a living fireball and everyone died? Hope not, and hope if they did nobody brings them back all wet and dead not dead.

We found some robot trees and I heard once that the Lord of Blades had some creation forges – maybe he’s trying to make the mournlands a home for us. Too bad he’s nuts, he has good ideas. We found some metal birds, and N-Dell got to talk to them. THEY HAD BABIES AND WE HELPED THEM HATCH THE BABIES AND THERE WERE BABY ROBOT BIRDS BABY WARFORGED CONTRUCT BABY BIRDS.

sometimes they said – the birds said – that warforged come take the metal from their nests and they led us to a vault place where we saw acid spider webs

deny

and more living spell bullshit

no

and there was spooky laughing

deny. no. dislike. NOT MISSION ASSIST.

we found this creepy fuckin’ glowing green floating skull and I hit it with my mace and it went flying off and it was amazing.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY IN MY LIFE

We took some small chests, and in the vault there was a warforged colossus and it was huge. biggest thing you’ve ever seen, bigger then that tank that I rode on once, that one time.

Also this tentacle faced asshole.

Traceur has a gun. I used to have a gun. I want a gun. I want my gun back.

Soolyn fucked that mind flayer right up. Boom-Boom slapped it. I hit it in the face. N’Dell set it on fire. It was -great-.

Fuckin’ mind flayers.
