When A'horangi of the wise mind and strong fist sought a spirit
And the brothers Daicar sought a mine
And the adepts joined for these were worthy causes
And the adepts were Thorkell father of weapons
And the adepts were LaShana of the stealthy ways
And the adepts were Vralino of the stabbing spear
And the adepts were Elisen rider in the silent wind
And the adepts were eager for the challenge
And the journey took them to iron delve
Iron delve of the clear pool and lusty red wings
And the adepts studied ancient maps
And the adepts sought a path
And the journey took them deep into the jungle
In the jungle where death stalks the night
And the adepts fought the death moths
And the adepts laughed at the terrible visage
And the adepts prevailed with ease
And the journey took them further along the Galaga
Along the Galaga to a grove
A grove where a Brithan rested
And tigers waited in ambush
And the adepts fought the tigers
And the adepts proved to be predator not prey
And Elisen went to befriend the Brithan
And the Brithan was wild and aggressive
And Elisen challenged for dominance
And the adepts proved their strength
And the journey took them to Griffin Falls
And the spirit guarding them
And the spirit was tormented by something
And the adepts agreed to help
And the journey took them into the cave behind the falls
The cave full of droning and buzzing
The droning of Eloko hiding in the depths
And the adepts fought the Eloko
And the adepts fought their mind tricks
And the adepts freed the spirit from torment
And A'horangi was gifted with its favor
And the spirit asked for the miners to return
And the adepts promised they would
And the journey ended
And the adepts brought new to the brothers Daicar
And so a little that was lost was reclaimed

This will be the last entry of Volume One of my field notes. My journal will continue in Volume Two.
Continued investigation of Paradox of Water, Thread Bracelet in my possession, indicates that I must go entreat with water spirit from source of original True Water. Sure to be enlightening and interesting conversation.
I make preparations. Surprisingly, am approached by two potential backers, Benjamin and Gerald Daicar. Either siblings or romantic partners. Not clear. Business partners, however. Interested in possible living crystal in Griffin Falls (where True Water for bracelet originated).
I review prospectus (Notes attached). Seems in order. Accept their help. Collect allies - Griffin Falls in Servos Jungle, very dangerous. Vralino, Thorkell both available. Best to take them together. Separation anxiety likely if split. Elisen and LaShana, brave and clever in the way of their people.
Journey to Irondelve. Settlement growing nicely. Follow river into jungle towards Griffin Falls. Pre-Scourge map (Attached) provided by Daicars proves reasonably accurate (Annotations on map.). One wildlife encounter en route - two hungry tigers, one wounded and enraged brithan. Practice with stances paying off. More fluid in transition. Found rhythm in attack, then meditative assessment of battle, then return to attack.
We find the falls, and the spirit of the falls. Water is clean and cool. Perfect. I enter the water to address the water; only polite. Spirit is surprisingly talkative, friendly. Says she can help but has no time. Is distracted by noisy ones beneath her.
As predicted, cave behind waterfall. All waterfalls have caves behind them. This is well established. Often secret cave, full of secrets. Must spend more time chasing waterfalls. Surely is good plan.
In cave, there is humming. Droning, soothing. I am, to my embarrassment, victim of hypnosis. Pleasant in the moment, unpleasant in recollection. Convinced to approach strange dwarf being, hunched and twisted, covered in moss and lichen and bits of stone. Creature betrays semblance of peaceful intent by attacking me. Attack sharpens my senses.
I am angry. To remove another's agency is a dire violation. I examine the boundaries of my anger to establish its shape. I pour the anger into a small, tight shape. I use that shape, in my spirit, to punish and educate those who would do such an impolite and discourteous thing. Others, presumably, do the same. We defeat creatures. (Note: Further research indicates these are called Eloko. Dwarves left outside during Scourge?)
Spirit is pleased. Invites further Namegiver activity. Most unusual and hospitable for spirit. Thorkell is pleased. There is living crystal here. LaShana is pleased. There are shiny things here. I am pleased. The Paradox of Water flows free and fierce. Vralino is pleased. His friend has survived his lack of protective gear. Elisen is pleased. They could fly fierce and free and Jacint acquited itself well.

So I was hanging out with Jerry at the Bedrock Bar, wonderful place to talk about things while people watching, and he and his brother Ben were looking for help making a safe passage to some mines in the Servos Jungle. The next day, I went to go find Thorkell, and it turned out that Rangi also needed to go somewhere in that area to talk to some water lady or some such. It was perfect! We can go with Rangi to do her water conversation and get paid for it! I'm so awesome. Networking is easy! We gathered up LaShana, and Elisen found their way into the party as well. It's another road trip!
You'd think by now one of us would have learned to navigate. I think I was lost the entire way there. Luckily Rangi was able to keep us on course.
It's a good thing she knew where she had to go for the water lady. I guess she helped me more than I helped her.
Thorkell and Shana kept watch to make sure we didn't have any surprises. During one of the stops, we got ambushed by some floating skull looking things. It's a good thing Shana saw them. She warned me, woke everyone up, then disappeared! I can't believe she ran like that, although she is a bit squishier than most of us. For some reason, Thorkell couldn't move. Rangi told me to go help Shana while she protected Thorkell. I wasn't too keen on the plan, but Thorkell didn't even get touched! One of these days, I'll be that good at protecting people.
As we approached the place with the water lady, we came across a Brithan. As Elisen approached the thing, Shana saw a tiger! It pounced on Elisen, and we had to fight it off. While we were doing that, a second tiger went after Shana! Thorkell went to go help her, but the Brithan was quickly approaching. I stepped in front of it to keep it away from the rest of my party. Once the tigers were dealt with, the Brithan grabbed me up in a bear hug!!! Then it started biting me! Rangi, who had avoided the fight up until now, was able to give me enough leverage to break free from the Brithan's grip. Everyone attacked it at the same time, and I ended up finishing it off. Stupid Brithan.
We got to the lake where the water lady was. Rangi went to go talk to it, but I was just splashing in the lake. Shana was hiding in a backpack. Then Rangi took us into a cave behind a waterfall. Inside, there were a couple of stone looking dwarvish things covered in moss. For some reason, Rangi went to go talk to one of them. If I weren't in the back of the entrance, I would have known these things weren't smart enough to talk to. It was a mistake either way for the things, since Rangi was able to break free. Then the other one latched onto Elisen. It took a couple tries, but I was able to break them free. We finished these things off, and Thorkell was muttering to himself about the crystals. Shana was taken by the stones as well. I'm not sure Ben would be happy if we took any with us, but they were well earned rewards, considering what we had to fight to get here.
When we walked back out, Rangi talked to the water lady again, then rejoined us with a new bracelet. It was covered in moving water. Shana hates water, and she was marveling over it. We returned to Throal to tell Ben and Jerry about our success and were paid promptly. I hope they don't have any issues with their crews going there. It was pretty deep in the Jungle.

Next thing we encountered was one of the strangest things yet. A bear, with horns! That's something you don't see everyday! And I hope to never run into THAT again. Because at the same time we also had TWO tigers spring out at us. We had our hands full. GOODNESS could that bear hug
But we were FINALLY able to make it to the waterfall. A'horangi stripped and plunged into the pool and swam towards the waterfall. There was a strange human like shape in the water that she seemed to be talking to. After a bit she came back and told us that we needed to cleanse the caves in order for the water person to help her.
THAT REQUIRED GOING BEHIND THE WATERFALL!!!!! Which I did after inside climbing into A'horangi's backpack to protect me wings. Once inside the cave system there was this loud hypnotic hum that seemed to have sucked her in and caused her to walk right into danger. She did not seem to see there giant claws, even when asked if we could trust them. That was until they bit her. And then attacked Thorkell. And then it was on. A'horangi and Thorkell against one of the weird stooped moss covered dwarf things and Elisen and Vralino against the other. I was taking shots at both of them from farther away.
Once both of them were down we were able to see the walls were all shiney. And Thorkell gave me some of the shiney to add to my own horde. I've tucked it away for safe keeping. Especially from Mayday. He really likes the shiney stuff. Little rascal. On the way out A'horangi talked to the water person again and now her bracelet is even cooler. She let me fiddle with it a few times.
Lastly on the way out, we went back through the spa area and the flirty windling that flirted with Elisen last time winked at me and then asked me to hang out later that evening. For once I was not second or third fiddle windling. Teehehehehe

We pass through Clear Creek Crossing. The construction goes much slower without Darrelon's guidance. I may have to take some time to help in honor of her work.
We made it into the jungle. Night is the bane of my existence. No sooner do I open my eyes than skulls harass me from every direction. I was informed later that this was an effect of these Death moths that so rudely interrupted our sleep. After many adventures with my companions, it came as no surprise when we fended them off easily. Poor Lashana got the worst of it, the poison paralyzed her for fifteen minutes. The humor of this is that she pierced one of the moths quite profusely, but can not remember it due to the poison. Vralino moved her to her hammock to sleep it off.
We came upon a Brithan. Elisen was hoping to tame it, but we were attacked by some tigers. The first tiger was dispatched summarily. Unfortunately the second one got a good chunk of my hide. Unfortunately, the brithan was the bigger threat so I was left mostly to grapple with the tiger. Fortunately a well placed arrow from Lashana saved me. Just then, the brithan grabbed Vralino. We were able to pry her loose and defeat the beast. Inspiration. The tigers take tried to take my hide. Now I will take theirs. I'm in need of new armor and hide armor is quite effective.
We finally found our destination, a beautiful waterfall. A'horangi later told us the water spirit required him to clear out the mines behind its waterfall before it would divulge the information she wanted.
In the cave we heard this weird humming that grew louder the further in we went. These strange dwarf like creatures with claws instead of hands. A'horangi was hypnotized and said we could trust them, that was until it clawed her thigh. It then latched onto me and started chewing. Fortunately A'horangi was able to get it off of me. The other one latched onto Elisen. Vralino was there to pry the monstrosity off of him. I couldn't get my wits about me. Without my armor, I could not focus on combat. I am fortunate to have such reliable companions.
By the glistening hammer of Upandal! The cave has living crystal! I must make meticulous notes on how to return. These crystals will make a fine component to my planned great armor. And the passions are on my side. A'horangi has informed me that the water spirit is amenable to us mining the crystal. But until then, I must craft a placeholder.
Success. I have crafted my armor. The tiger hide is used across most of the body as it provides a most stunning display. I have fashioned the bear claws into spaulders. They are must intimidating. The final feature is the brithan head. I have fashioned it into a helmet. It's horns alongside mine definitely strike an imposing image.

Rumor: Benjamin Daicar and Gerald Daicar have a pre-scourge map leading to an abandoned mine at the foot of Griffin Falls. They wish to re-establish the mine as a source of gemstones and crystals for enchanting. There is talk of an adept who wishes to commune with a spirit of water, and that may help deal with the spiritual guard of the mine.
Benefit: increased flow of alchemical items - can count as deed for Paradox of Water
