An Old Man's Writings (Jeremy Steel)
-
_So, this is what it's come down to. The infamous Jeremy Steel, former great mercenary, and now a, do I dare say it? Knight of the Cerulean Star, writing stuff about his own life instead of getting someone else to sing it in a king's court for him
First of all, a note to whoever reads this: Make sure you are bloody rich, because I'm going to come back as a Lich just to get royalties from all the money you make by showing people this.
Truthfully, I could write until my hands fall off about all the various sword swingin, temple defilin, lady deflowerin and other miscellaneous adventures I've had as a young man, but I'm sure everyone has heard about that already, so onto more recent events.
A month or two back, killed me a drow that had been constantly turning Seth to stone, of course, Elyl and Seth helped with spells, but I'm the one who gave her a new hole to breathe out of. Then some poncy lad in pink thought he was smart beating an old man up, just cos he is jealous he couldn't kill it himself.
Third star Cerulean Knight, seems kind of useless, I'm getting old, I'll be 6 feet under before I get any higher. Although the perks are nice, nothing like the singe of burning flesh in the morning to wake you up, acid is so much better than fire.
Mecizq reckoned he cheated death by hanging out in the abyss for a while. Too bad they aren't giving away free rides down there. Oh well, still got a bit of time left on me, so I'll worry about such things later.
Need to focus on these damn spells anyway, whoever designed this whole thing made it too time consuming. Maybe that explains why I'm probably one of the youngest people in the Keep_

_Finally found Ezachiel, and he is reseaching methods to prolong life as we write. He thinks it is highly possible, but he can't perform it if it's evil, due to that mark of justice.
Damn pallies.
The Captain has given me the task of training Zero. He's young and inexperianced, but he seems willing enough to learn, even though he uses a scythe as a weapon. I mean, next thing you know people will be using wheelbarrows as weapons.
Lately I have been travelling through the pass unarmoured, testing my mettle with the hobgoblin casters and shamans. Their spells are quite easy to counter, and the look on their faces is priceless when their spell fizzles._
-
_Hells.
Today I almost got to see a Lich in the flesh, well, bone and whatever else they are made out of. It would have been interesting to see such a creature. I'm glad to see Serenity okay now though, one of the few people I'd actually help for free.
They some of am an named Ezachiel, a necromancer, maybe I should look him up, sure he was some life prolonging ideas and such._
-
On a sidenote, I should see if it's truely possible to forge full plate armour that would be so smoothly made I could cast in it. I don't want to be covered with a sheet of metal like Seth, so I shoukd perhaps contatc Dwin or the like to see if this is possible.
-
_Hells. Time is running out and I know it.
What is going to be left of my name? Nothing, that's what, just feeble memories, as much as I'd like to believe I'm leaving behind a legacy.
Who is going to inherit what things I own? No one cares, my tomb will probably be robbed.
There is only two ways out of this.
One: Make a name for myself somehow.
Two:Prolong my life, necromancy. It must be possible through those means, even though it's frowned upon wherever you go, I should see if the keep has anything on it._

_Went killing ogres with Mecizq, Seth, Kal, Holly & Ronan not long ago. I forget the reason, not like I cared, it was fun, and there was some money involved in it. Still don't know why I had to be the "axe shield", but whatever.
I really need to learn that haste spell, terribly useful.
Seth has seemed to find himself a a woman in his life, that Holly girl. Poor guy, should I wait, or should I tell him how bad they can be? I should go the fun option and let him find out for himself._

_Note: They sell powder kegs in the market.
Goal: Find somewhere/something to blow up._ <–------- _Possibly annoying little hins, wise-ass halfers or stuck up paladins
Idea: Show people down the well in Jiyyd, make them pay gold for me to open the door.
I need to get more training for my spells in, maybe I should hang out with Genzir or someone, too bad they bore me to death. Seth is alright for learning from, but now he is too obsessed with using offensive spells. Maybe I can use that age old technique of teaching someone else to learn better myself, or whatever the hell it is._
