Summary: The adepts have saved the farmers of Trayckid from the attack of the 6/12/23/32 foot ants. They smoked out the ant hill and dispatch the queen.

Crammed in a corner and covered in dust is a dense book detailing the travels of Orfen. Amidst the myriad of the Throalic handwriting are a few nuggets of completely irrelevant thoughts from her. It would take a researcher hours just to determine if there is any information worthy of note. The text remains unaltered to maintain its authenticity (Certain terms and names written wrong to keep in character). As you begin reading the entry, a nearby scholar looks at what you're reading, eyebrows raised, and simply says, "Good luck" as they resume reading. It takes about 6 hours to read the entire entry.

"It seems like the city just mystically knows where I need to be and what I need to do. It's so helpful. It led me to the storage shed where I keep all my things, but I was trying to get to the market to buy food. I figured I was there for a reason, so I grabbed my stuff and turned to walk around the infirmary to tend to the next patient. Next thing I knew, I was at one of the side gates, and there was Youghdel! I haven't seen him in forever!"

"I threw the air armor spell above me and Youghdel just zipped through it as he assaulted the ants! It was awesome! With the flame weapon spell, it was like I was casting a fireball at them!"

"I hear smoking is something people like to do in their free time. Not healthy, but the ants will probably enjoy it anyway. Nevertheless smoking the ants out was the party's plan to get to the queen."

"We charged up the hill, but I (Yes, me! All by my lonesome!) pushed the cart full of oil pots and hay way faster than anyone else who was 'helping'. I got tired, but the cart was halfway up the hill by that point. Of course, then it rolled backwards. I had to lay flat so it wouldn't run me over. I think Redroum caught it and took over."

Other bits were found amongst the ramblings that were quite entertaining, even though they weren't really relevant to the journey:

"Before I knew it, everyone had left me behind to kill the ants. How dare they leave an orphan all alone! I HAVE ABANDONMENT ISSUES!!!"

"Hahaha! I bitch slapped an ant! I was trying to steal Tor'val's kill, but it didn't work out so well. They yelled at me to carry a sword with me next time. What am I going to do with a sword!?!"

"They refused my treatment! Doesn't anyone know that you need to tend to muscles after exercise!?! I hope they're happy! Left them with bruises since they were fighting me while I did it!"

"Soooo many ideas! All of them were amazing, but the party just looked at me like I was crazy. I'm not the crazy one, you are! Yes, YOU! THE ONE READING MY JOURNAL ENTRY!!!!"

"After everyone had Flame Weapons and Air Armor, my job was done, so I bitch slapped another ant! Hahaha!!!"

Z'mokki's Journal:

The great Z'mokki has done it once again. We were asked to deal with an infestation of giant ants near Trayckid. Along with me were Orfen, Youghdel, Redroum, and Tor'val. The only one I knew was Tor'val, but the others seemed competent enough.

We dealt with an initial group of these ants. My skills were truly magnificent to behold. I then boldly went ahead to find the base of these ants.

After finding the ant's nest, we decided on a plan of action. We would have Youghdel drop fire into the ant hill and then would add to this by pushing a cart with burning hay into the hole. It was quite an ingenious plan if I do say so myself. After about half an hour the queen and her royal guard emerged. In a daring back and forth battle we were able to achieve victory. Without a queen to direct them, the others scattered to the winds to be picked off by the local wildlife.

It seems I have been dealing with insects lately. Perhaps that where my legend will lie. Z'mokki, the termite-ant killer. Too long. Termite-anter. Hmm, but then they may think I am helping termites and ants. Perhaps something to let them know I get rid of them. Ex-termite-anter. Hmm. It just doesn't have a ring to it. Ooh, how about I shorten it to Exterminator. Z'mokki, the exterminator. I like the sound of that.
