| - | While some of the others seemed bored with the sheer amount of information provded, Lars found it entirely refreshing. This adventuring business seems to involve a lot of running around blindly and beating people like pinatas to get the treasure out of them, so actually learning a lot of the facts surrounding some of those meat-pinatas was cathartic. He was a bit disappointed that the Loremaster knew little more than him in several areas related to the Marco Wars, you'd think that these knowledgeable people would have saved more about one of the most significant events in the history of the world. Then again, this wasn't really her specialty, only a hobby. Perhaps a Historian could have shown them more yet. Part of Lars would very much like to visit Selatrath, as it is the real knowledge center in this area of the continent. Perhaps there is something to this Loremaster stuff too, Lars is starting to think he might enjoy such a thing, collecting information all day, tucking bits away for when they are useful. | + | While some of the others seemed bored with the sheer amount of information provded, [[Lars]] found it entirely refreshing.

Bisquick's Thoughts about Shadows Over Knowledge
Bisquick was quite distressed when he found out that the party was going to Melanora. Bisquick wanted to go hunting the undead Dwarves in Neverfall, the Dwarven Hall. However, once the party reached Melanora, Bisquick was able to find out if anyone there recognized him. Unfortunately, no one did. Also, Bisquick met some Dwarven Defenders guarding the Sharlrock Sentinels' barracks. Bisquick does not know just yet if the Sharlrock Sentinels are right for him, but he does not want to burn any bridges. If he does want to become one of the Sharlrock Sentinels, he must slay an ogre or a giant, and bring back proof. Additionally, Bisquick was able to obtain some awesome magical items. He was able to enchant his Shadow Touched Dwarven Waraxe with a +1 enchantment, and he was able to obtain a Lesser Crystal of Acid Assault, and a Ring of Protection +1. Also, a suit of Full Plate +1. Bisquick feels like he is in the money.
After Bisquick was done asking if anyone knew him, he went with the rest of the party to the Mage's District. There, they met with a Loremaster. Bisquick does not particularly like Loremasters, as he would rather be out doing something than sitting and listening to some bookish woman talk about history. If Bisquick had had his druthers, he would have had the Loremaster try to touch the area of the Forshantir that contained the Pendant of Dira right away, instead of after a day's worth of talking about Mygrandin Antaloose and other such nonsense. The adventures that the party shared in the mysterious shadow plane were some of the best that Bisquick had ever experienced. Bisquick especially liked killing the Carg, though he did feel that the Carg was holding back. Intuitively, Bisquick felt that Cargs should have 20 ft. reach, rather than 5 ft. reach. Bisquick felt lucky, considering.
Malic Citrates Thoughts about Shadows Over Knowlege
Malic enjoyed The Disorderly Dwarf. He hopes that they can spend even more time there in the future. They even have a bar wench or two that he wouldn't mind fucking in the ass.
Malic is glad to hear that Mekda is still alive. If the party goes north again, he may ask about him. Malic did not like the nosey bitch touching his Forshantir. He liked it even less when they found themselves back in the shadow plane again. Malic really enjoyed smashing skeletons. A+++ would smash again. Malic really hated fighting spell-stiched ghouls. He doesn't like dying. Cargs suck. Malic wishes he were stronger so that he could smash cargs the same way he can smash skeletons.
Malic is proud of the way he was able to help his loud friend fight off the Shadow Fever.

While some of the others seemed bored with the sheer amount of information provded, Lars found it entirely refreshing.

Daeron's Thoughts on Shadows Over Knowledge
I wrestled for quite some time to make a decision regarding leaving Dormantown for Melanora. The orcish threat, the indentured servitude that the miners faced, and the supernatural blizzard all point to a troubled area. But in the end, there is no knowledge that is not power, and learning more about our situation seemed prudent. I also thought I'd be able to glean some information about my own problems.
The hobgoblin attack was unfortunate. Personally, I don't think that anything wrong was done on my part. When I saw an evil creature spying on myself and my companions I did the obvious thing- removed the threat. While I don't condone what happened after that, I will not turn myself in for trying to protect my friends.
The trip was, for the most part uneventful, but two things have been troubling to me. The first was the sighting of the frosty constructs. I fear for the people of the Dormantown area. Not only are there unnatural heavy snows, but beasts of frost and snow stalking them on their very own plains.
The second troubling event happened in the forest. We came across a body which had been ravaged by some unknown disease. The poor soul looked like they had been in terrible pain before they died, and the body looked truly gruesome. I can only hope that Malic's investigation of the body will not prove harmful in the future.
The information that we received from Elanora Silverleaf was surprising in some places. The fact that Marco seemed otherworldly was new information, and I must admit made me a bit afraid. Luckily he was banished from this world long ago. The information on the remaining pendants was also intriguing. The descriptions of our enemies made me take note of the words of Patrick again, "You must grow stronger"
