Chypirius, Halfling Slayer

I sliced Trinna Wadskull in two. I didn't mean to. I mean, I meant to hurt her, she was robbing Tamsen, then threw a knife at Eugenium, but Corellan save me, I didn't mean to slice the woman in two. I was there in Tamsen's front yard, covered in her blood. Everything else is a blur. There was so much blood, thick clotted brown blood.

Sure, she's a scoundrel. I've known for years about Trinna's tricks about town. She's a real snake. I mean, she was a real snake. Now she's not much of anything.

Is this what adventurers do? Do they kill halflings? Is this my epic destiny?

The ritual to contact Illander failed.

Everything is falling apart.

I had another dream about Ashleigh. Tamsen, Eugenium and Pavel had their dreams again too. What in the name of the Infernal Planes is going on here? Apparently they are trapped in the Shadowfell and they are coming to us in our dreams asking for help. Why us? What am I to do? I sing songs of friendship and the most valorous act I've ever committed was slicing Trinna Wadskull in two for stealing some trinkets from Tamsen's house.

She was with two others. Eugenium froze one of them to death. Can I take comfort in the fact that I'm not the only murderer? Honestly, I was impressed with how well Eugenium stood his ground and fought with us. His actions seemed heroic. I just felt evil. It was a gratuitous display of violence. If I turn into my father, then kill me now.

The one of the three burglars who survived said that they were collecting teenager hairs. I don't understand any of this.

My thoughts are all over the place.

We went to the council, the three of us. Pavel wouldn't come. He stormed off again. I feel like a fink "telling the authorities" or whatever, but really, this is way beyond me. I'm just a kid with a lyre. I can juggle, I can dance, I know some songs and some poems, I can cast some basic rituals, and if I am attacked by a gang of halfling women, we can rest assured that I will cackle as I bathe in their blood, but the Shadowfell, the Chosen Ones, I don't understand any of this.
