Found this book in a pawnshop, and it was cheap. I'm just gonna keep a log for my wife. If this is found up top, please get it to her. Anna Wettias of Longsaddle. I'm sure the Harpells are taking good care of her, but she'd want to know what's going to be in this book.

Arrived in Sanctuary today. Gods above and below, the place is huge! First thing that happened to me was a good one, and I can't help but think of that as a good omen. Lady gave me a big old pouch of gold, told me to go get myself some armor. Did so, and what with what I took from the drow, and what I made doing errands, I had enough for a very respectable set of arms and armor. Did a small job, something about a man's pet rat. Easy as falling, but it paid well. In my exploration of the city, I found a large building. I decided to go in, but all I found was broken furniture and a pile of glowing red skulls. Needless to say, I left. A man told me the place used to belong to a cult who were going to destroy Sanctuary. He called them fearful and deluded. I just called them evil. All for now. I'll write more when it happens.

Worked all dark. Fun fighting though. Made a couple hundred gold in one day! That's more than I make in in a week working for the Harpells. New plan then. Instead of just trying to make it to the surface, I make it to the surface with enough gold to support Anna for the rest of our lives! Maybe I could even set up our first son with a blacksmith shop, all his own! He'd have to be apprenticed first and all, but he could grow up to not even have to fight! That would be wonderful!

In a more personal note, for my wife, myself and a friend named Malikai slew two hundred and fifty rats last dark! Pay wasn't great, but that was fun! I whirled around in a great circle, my blade followed, and rats flew everywhere! If ever you read this Anna, I know you'll be proud.

Had a great little adventure today. Walked out of the Town Hall, and straight into a big group of people. I asked if there was work, and they said they were hunting gnolls. Never having seen a gnoll, I decided to come along. We slew dozens, if not hundreds of the beats, and brought down a massive one! The payout was bad in gold, but I got a very nice bow I intend to start practicing with. Also, I've heard of a tracker named Kaz who might be able to get me to the surface. He 'is' a kobold, but if goblins can be friendly, I suppose kobolds might too. Anna, I'm coming home soon. I need to get acclimated, get the feel of the Underdark. I also need to explore more of my talents than just swordplay. Thus the bow, eh? Well, time to go practice shooting.

Your loving husband, Jaric Wettias
