3/9/48 Selatine

Talaxakan the Dragonborn Eldritch Knight is eager to explore a vast wizard's laboratory/experiment on level 3 - on a previous expedition there he got an arcane device working that seems to have greatly increased his Intelligence. Another party returned from there two days ago and reported halls channeling vast arcane energies. Also bugbears. There are also the mountain trolls on level 5 - two weeks since adventurers' attack on them, they have hopefully let down their guard. And a third more experienced party was recently down on level 9 - of 4 adventurers only the catfolk Rogue Bright Star made it back alive, but her companions should be restorable, one - Vizier Mordred - was already restored via a Wish in his Luck Blade; the others' corpses are being sent to Lady Meda of Thusia.
