You never know what life throws at you.

Assume and Prepare for the worst.

Even then the mediocre seems a blessing.

Private Investigations goes well. My first job in a long time was a resounding success. It took me about five minutes to complete.

Who knew Magic was so useful?

The only two sure things in life, are poverty and death

Event: A one, Clara Fireheart, apparently a paranoid with delusions, singled me out as an assassin outside town hall as I was smoking between investigations. The following report is personal in nature, as if this "Family" is to mark me enemy, every aspect and notion shall be known.

Fireheart "House" (Seemingly modeled after some archaic form of family hierarchy and business, assumed to be common on the surface) Clara- Prissy little whore. Paranoid to the extreme, accused me of being an assassin then sent goons to berate me. Upon attempting to reconcile, she became quite irate. Engaged to one Kyle Fox, See: Kyle Fox, Reports indicate she's quite flittery, what ever that means, and has an unhealthy obsession with dresses. Current Assessment: Irritant Eddy- Useless Prat. Clearly not to be the successor to the uncles mercantile empire. Current assessment: Nuisance. Alivarn- Wealthy merchant-Priest of Waukeen. Flyers in Lower say he deals with goblins. Usual merchant, doing anything for coin it seems. Current Assessment: Investigating Connar- Helmite, thug-esque, broadsword wielding, plate-clad. Current assesment: Hostile Kyle Fox-Seems to be thuggish as well, according to reports. Cowardly, draws blades and issues threats, but fails to follow through. Leb stated his only vice is "Loving Clara". Current assessment: Investigating. Taarna-, pale hair, dark robes. Current assessment is investigating Leb- Halfling, kind hearted, I suppose. Not a bad fella. Current assessment: Non-Combatant

Summary As a whole, rather disorganized. Expected of a mercenary force based on the pursuit of coins and familial ties. Seems that the uncle runs the business and family, Familial Ties between Clara and Edgar. Well connected to the city, like all good mercantile leeches, and no doubt seek to expand their empire. Clara has many associates who "Look out for her", see: Connar, resulting in what could be more trouble on the horizon since she seemed to single me out as a foe, and all of her goons are now following at her every word.

Important Notes: Clara and Fox had a wedding, allegedly, did not end well. Interrupted by Fire. Further investigation required.

Everyone needs a hobby. It keeps sane-men sane and psychotic men occupied.

Wandering the streets invisible, purposefully bumping into individuals, forcing them to waste their seeing potions.

Damnable divinations such as that ruin my business. The more they waste, the better.

My first successful act.

I obtained a skull, Miller is carving flesh for drow-leather gloves, and my animatron now has most impressive war-paint.

For some reason, I do believe, Victory Pie is in order.
