Paige 8
Forget the knee it doesn’t hurt anymore. Or if it does it’s not getting through the fog in my head. If I turn too quickly everything wobbles. If I get up too quickly I’m suddenly on the floor again face first. I have this huge bump that someone is constantly hammering onto the side of my head and I feel like I’m going to throw up the breakfast or lunch or whatever food that Quill made. My helmet doesn’t fit anymore and I fainted when I tried it on. I have to think in short bursts so the thoughts don’t slip away.
Sometimes when I look around I’m in the village and sometimes I’m in the woods and there’s always at least two of Yannick and sometimes I forget their names. I can’t remember what happened and most of the time since I woke up on the floor of the dungeon is a dark foggy mess. There are squeaks and screams in my head rather than actual real memories and I don’t know if either or both are mine.
I lean on Halessa a lot and Thowick’s looking after me and covering me with blankets and looking worried. I tried frowning but it almost knocked me out with pain. Anything headwise is painful enough to make me think twice. There’s something wrong with my leg the one that had the good knee. It doesn’t bleed but it itches inside and it’s starting to burn. Hlessa tries to stop me scratching at it but I go right back at it to try and make it stop. Quill says it’s healed and looks at me like I’m crazy but it. is. not. right. and I am scratching it right now when Hlessa’s not looking because when I stop it starts hurting again.
Quill says I’m possessed by a rat but you’d think that would shut my mind up and let the rat take over. Hasn’t happened. Still here just foggy and scratching at whatever’s in my leg. It’s bleeding now and I’m about to faint again I can see it all getting darker at the edges. Hlessa’s going to shout.
The Judge
A mostly quiet session, the party spent some time 'investigating' the pit trap they discovered at the end of the previous session managing to open it and Quill spent some exciting minutes dangling above a dark space with liquid at the bottom and some menacing skittering.They explored the area of the dungeon formerly inhabited by the bandits and discovered a store room containing old and broken mining equipment and some newer trade goods that appear to have been looted by the bandits.
As Paige's account above shows they encountered some Giant Rats, which unfortunately for the party thief managed to bite her and infect her with a disease, the saving throw for which she duly failed. Time's a ticking for Paige. Will she survive?
