(Khajiit)
We had a good night’s rest, and in the morning after a nice breakfast we’re about to sneak out of the tower. I walk in front, open the door, and gesture to the group to halt.

What… the… fuck… is that?

(Uthemar)
This was the first time I threw myself backwards out a window before breakfast, I gave the ring we found to Khajiit as I will soon master the skill of flying in wildshape and will have little use for it.

After our morning ritual, we went on our way to the palace across the square when Khajiit saw a huge statue, which in hindsight I should have recognized immediately, the statue appears to be able to move. It had swords mounted on its hands and something resembling leather boots on its feet, it was “Lysander The Incorruptible” I still don’t know how I did not see this, he may be the greatest Elven hero that ever lived. As a kid I loved the stories about him, how he would fight relentlessly until the truth was revealed. But I digress, we went out and snuck around the statue to the back entry of the palace. Not recognizing Lysander, I was wary of the statue and cast a spell to make it more difficult to find us, we succeeded to find the back entrance and went in. When we got in it was impressive, many things where mauled and looted but it’s not difficult to image how beautiful it must have been in its prime, a lot of wall paintings were still intact and some cutlery still on the tables. I’m more driven to find out and revert what was done to our city than when I started this endeavor with Davinara, I think I now see a glimpse of what she’s trying to restore. She was very distracted by the beauty of the palace to the point she actually fell into a trap twice, she was seriously hurt otherwise it would have been funny. Now we’re getting to the good part, we found the royal diary, 200 volumes of everything that has happened in Moleasmyr written by the king, it is difficult to put down because so much had happened and much of it I was not aware of. My parents have told me about the city but reading the diaries makes it so more real and the details give such a clear insight in the workings of the city, I hope we can find out what happened, the last page mentions a multi decade ritual that should be able to protect the city once and for all. We’re all wondering if that was the downfall of the city. We packed up and divided the books among us and started our journey to Uthodurn, I’m keen to get all of the books back to Uthodurn and have them studied, I also hope my friends get paid well otherwise I’m afraid next time they will not take it back to Uthodurn and will try to sell it somewhere else. We will take the backdoor out and be on our way.

My final entry
Why did I call this my final entry? Not time to dwell on that now. We’re sneaking out of the palace, Lysander the Incorruptible being non the wiser and we headed out of the city. We are not exiting the city the way we came in, we are going North strait to Uthodurn. This is an unknown part of the city but the alternative is going around the city through the treacherous woods, this seems the safer choice.

We’re at the edge of the city and nobody has noticed us yet. We should find a gate soon and get into the woods on our way to Uthodurn. I know the forest is dangerous but I’m eager to get back to the plants and animals. What’s this? They’re attacking us, they look like unde insert ink scratch and blood stain on paper here.

A fierce battle ensued where the Revenants are relentlessly attacking Uthemar they seemed to ignore everyone else until he was knocked out. Khajiit had a stroke of genius and made himself look like an elf, one of the attackers had taken the bait and is attacking Khajiit the scheme seems to have worked. Alas it did not, the other attackers kept wailing on Uthemar, he died right there. Khajiit turned himself back and the attackers lost interest and left. The party had only been able to kill one of the Revenant and are now trying to find a way to carry all the books and Uthemar his body back to his family in Uthodurn.

(Sigurd)
We go out the city carrying the books and Uthemar. I’m glad we put him in the magic bag, the smell will not be so bad now.
On our way out we hear a sound and then a metal man ran by. He runs from something. We hide. It’s the statue that followed him. We attack it, it’s very hard. Metal man says the statue says we leave. So we leave.
Metal man wants to come with to Uthedorn. We say he pays protection fee. He pay us 1 gold now and more when he sells a book on weaving. He seems to like weaving. He’s odd.
