Chypirius, Polytechnic Explorer

Tamsen and I are back in Valon, and no one understands what incredible adventurers we are! Suddenly this town feels so suffocatingly small.

Eugenium is missing! We so need to speak to Nanu and see what's up. I guess Pavel is missing too, but he's always running off, so I'm not too worried about him.

Anyways, so there is this new girl who has the dreams too. Wait... Wait a second... If she is having the dreams does that mean that either Eugenium or Pavel is dead?! OK, I can't think that way right now, as I am trapped in the dungeons beneath Lower Valon Polytechnic. Oh yeah...

So the girl, Merritt. Weird religious type. She seems nice, but she showed up when I was doing dream sluething before I knew she shared our dreams. Maybe I was rude. I hope not!

So our dreams... Badgers... Teens... and a key! By getting a young gnome (Ustelm, Finniwick's nephew) to chat with Mr. Squeeks, the beaver, and with some sleuthing at the Lower Valon Polytechnic with Tamsen, we discovered that Mr. Squeeks found the key in his burrow, brought it out, and a group of LV kids snagged it and gave it to the school as a gift, since their motto says something about a beaver and the key of knowledge or something.

So, the key went missing (it was in the display case) and some totally dark-cloud girl told Tamsen the janitor took it. He lives in the basement. So Merritt got an awesome make-over (!) (OK, maybe it was a little embarrassing - she went from not even trying to trying too hard), and then we all hung out at the Pendulous Bosom,(where someone thought Merritt was a loose lady!) and we hung until night fall... so we could break into the school!

Long story short (too late, I know), we found ourselves face-to-face with the school principal, found Balbum, the janitor, tied up, basically naked (not pretty), then saw the dark-cloud girl run off. That conniver! We chased her into the (dungeons?!) of the school! Trap doors, pits, water slides, many bruises and scrapes, and we realized we were in no way prepared for this kind of adventure! Now we just gotta find her.

Oh, and yeah, Merritt kind of kicks ass! We got into a fight with these two jerks in the pit and she'd get all glowy and throw light at them. It was pretty cool.

Man oh man, if only we had better prepared. Hopefully there'll be a next time...
