Entry # 29 (2 Altruiak 1358DR): Of all the Greater Surges I Could Have Done!
In battling a relatively young black dragon, I utilized the genius of Nahal to bring upon him a disintegration spell. But as luck was not with me that day, the greater surge resulted in his long teeth growing longer, his mighty tail mightier, and his menacing claws even more menacing. Aging any other creature than this would have been beneficial, but here it was truly devastating. Luckily this had been a quickened spell, so that I could immediately alter the Greater Surge—before this dragon had the chance to inflict it’s new found strength and power on the party.

when it rains, it pours

Having been sufficiently cowed by the mystic power of Silvia, who next should we meet but the archmage, Kouraf. Likely not the original, but one who knows more of his past than the pitifully branded heretic we rescued from his tomb in the icy north. This latest seems to dabble in necromancy. If these Kourafs didn’t have such an obvious prediliction towards clones, I’d worry about this one turning towards lichdom.

However, even the most powerful magicks can fail a mage at a critical moment. When it seemed as if all our enchantments were mere annoyances to this learned, decrepit half-elf, Kalcryx waded in close to Kouraf. After the dragon spawn bound him up in his arms, he started a most foul yet effective trick, gnawing on Kouraf’s head and shoulders as he muffled the frail spellcaster’s mouth with his thickly muscled arms.

After we killed him, we discovered a satin lined coffin embedded within the stone of the abandoned Myrkulite altar, with only the unburned ash of a used scroll within. His soul must have fled his dying mortal shell somehow and taken residence in a new clone, transporting away.

I believe he will be quite furious with us if he remembers how he was slain.
