DEAR ASTER, HAPPY ALL HALLOWS! / HOPE YOU HAD FUN WITH SAXT AND VASHTI AND WHOEVER ELSE JOINED YOU FOR WHATEVER YOU OLD FOLK DO FOR ALL HALLOWS... I KNOW YOU SAY IT'S "IMPORTANT RITUALS" BUT FOR ALL I KNOW YOU'RE DANCING NAKED IN THE MOONLIGHT LIKE BASIA-HEY DID THAT EVER HAPPEN? I GOTTA KNOW. ANYWAY, I GOTTA TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FOLKS ON ALL HALLOWS BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY SCARY AND I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT WHAT ALL OF THIS MEANS FOR THE RIFTLANDS AND EVEN THE CONTINENT ANDI REALLY NEED SOME ADVICE AND BASICALLY WE WENT INTO THE TUNNELS TO FIND THE MISSING CRACKED ROAD FOLKS THAT WERE WHY ALL OF THEIR SHIPMENTS WERE DELAYED AND / GUESS WE FOUND THEM BUT THEY WERE ALL HACKED INTO PIECES WITH MORGANT I AND WE FOUND A BUNCH OF HAUNTS DOWN THERE AND KAJA SAID THAT THE ONE WITH MORGANTI WAS A MEMBER OF THE COURT OF DARKNESS AND KAJA AND PAU KILLED THEM BUT THEY WISPED WITH THEIR MORGANTI AND WE COULDN'T CATCH IT WHICH IS REALLY BAD AND I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN WITH THAT BUT THAT'S NOT EVEN THE BIGGEST THING THAT HAPPENED THAT DAY. I MET THE KING OF THE COURT OF DARKNESS. I STOOD NEXT TO HIM AND HEARD WHAT HE HAD TO SAY, AND I STAYED SILENT AND BORE WITNESS. ASTER, I'M SCARED. WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT THE COURT OF DARKNESS IS BACK? HE TOLD US THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE ENOUGH TO STOP THE CITY FROM FALLING TO HIM BUT WE'VE ONLY JUST STARTED AND I THINK EVERYONE ELSE THINKS HE WAS TAUNTING US BUT TO ME IT SOUNDED LIKE A WARNING OR MAYBE EVEN A CALL TO ACTION. I THINK MAYBE HE WAS TELLING US THAT WE HAVE TO UNITE THE CITY BEFORE IT FALLS (INTERESTING WORD?) AND HE TAKES POWER. MAYBE I JUST WANT THAT TO BE THE CASE THOUGH... ON TO OTHER BUSINESS! I'M A LITTLE MAD AT MY PARTY BECAUSE WE RAN INTO ANOTHER SKIRMISH WITH WEATHERED FACES IN THE TUNNELS AND NOT ONLY DID THEY IMMEDIATELY ASK WEATHERED FACES WHAT WAS WRONG, CHUMKAL HAD THE AUDACITY TO ASK ME TO TELL THE UNDER FOOT FOLK THAT THEY WERE IN WEATHERED FACES' CLAN LANDS AND THEY NEEDED TO LEAVE! THEY DIDN'T EVEN ASK US WHY WE WERE DEFENDING OURSELVES AND THEY SAID IT WAS OUR FAULT FOR BEING IN THE TUNNELS WHEN IT'S THE WEATHERED FACES ASSHOLES WHO KEEP ATTACKING US EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE A RIGHT TO BE DOWN THERE JUST AS MUCH AS THEY DO! THE BIG FOLK REALLY DO SUCK SOMETIMES. NO ONE EVER LISTENS TO ME, ASTER. THE INNKEEPERS KEEP FORGETTING ABOUT UNDER FOOT TOO. IT'S OKAY THOUGH, I'LL DO WHAT I NEED TO DO IN SILENCE AND IF I NEED THEM TO LISTEN TO ME, I'LL MAKE THEM. DO I REALLY HAVE TO DO THESE REPORTS? I KNOW, I KNOW, THEY'RE IMPORTANT, BUT THEY'RE BORINGGGG SOMETHING THINK I DID WELL: WE HAD TO CROSS A CANYON ON THE WAY TO ONE OF OUR MISSIONS AND A BUNCH OF SKY BEASTS WERE ATTACKING US AND SOME OF THE ADVENTURERS KEPT GOING BACK TO FIGHT THEM EVEN AFTER WE ALL GOT ACROSS AND SO I STAYED BACK TOO AND HEALED THEM SO THAT WE COULD ALL GET OUT OF THERE AND I THINK I WAS REALLY HELPFUL EVEN THOUGH / GOT CARRIED OFF BY A SKY BEAST AND ALMOST EATEN AT ONE POINT. SOMETHING THINK / COULD IMPROVE: I REALLY GOTTA WORK ON STAYING OUT OF SIGHT BECAUSE WE FOUGHT A LOT OF SKY BEASTS AND GIANT BUGS AND THE BIG FOL CAN STAND THEIR GROUND BUT I'M SMALL ENOUGH THAT THEY CAN JUST CARRY MEOFF IF I'M NOT CAREFUL SO I NEED TO WORK ON SKIRTING AROUND FIGHTS LIKE THAT WITHOUT BEING SPOTTED INSTEAD OF BEING SMACK-DAB IN THE MIDDLE AND GETTING SQUISHED. SOMETHING / LEARNED: I LEARNED MEDICINE BALL! I CAN HEAL WITH MAGIC NOW AND I'M SO EXCITED AND IT WAS 50000 USEFUL AND I WANNA LEARN HOW TO RESURRECT PEOPLE NEXT BECAUSE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE DIED DURING OUR MISSIONS AND WE HAD TO DRAG A BODY AROUND WITH US FOR HALF THE DAY AND THINK I'M REALLY CLOSE TO FIGURING IT OUT!! THE COOKIESIMENTIONED IN MY LAST REPORT TURNED OUT REALLY WELL AND EVERYONE REALLY LIKED THEM AND I THINK / WANNA TRY MAKING SOMETHING WITH HEADACHE HERBS NEXT BECAUSE THE FLAVORS ARE A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED SO MAYBE I'LL FOCUS ON GINGER AND LAVENDER AND WILLOW AND ROSEMARY AND THOSE GO WELL WITH MAPLE AND HUCKLEBERRIES BUT THOSE ARE OUT OF SEASON SO MAYBE BLUEBERRIES INSTEAD AND MAYBE THAT'LL HELP HIDE THE FLAVOR OF SOME OF THE GROSSER HERBS, WHAT DO YOU THINK? I'LL SEE YOU SOON! SENNA (P. S. IF YOU SEE HEATH, TELL THEM I'M SORRY I COULDN'T HELPMORE WITH WEATHERED FACES AND THAT MY PARTY WAS SO DUMB!)
