Our contact Etchzeeth has delivered wonderful news. We are to strike a major blow against the Skullport slavers tomorrow and then return to Waterdeep! Gods, I cannot wait to feel the sun shining on my scales again. The pervasive dark of this place has taken its toll on everyone; Brother Krux is meditating more than usual; Jax, Diovanni, and Leif have been getting into petty, stupid arguments; even Riddick seems more sullen than normal. The one bright note is that the group has now rounded into an effective fighting unit. As much as I hate to admit it, I've also learned much about insurgency tactics. It's useful knowledge that would have been frowned upon at the Academy.
Despite the melancholy brought on by this interminable darkness, our efforts these last three months have borne fruit. Our House Kingstinn sanctioned raids, along with our more clandestine efforts have disrupted the slavers' supply lines and sources of income. Paranoia amongst the slaving houses is at a dangerous level and all houses are spending valuable resources arming themselves for open warfare. Skullport is like a nervous red dragon right now and all someone has to do is go for the horde and the city will erupt in flames. We plan to do just that tomorrow...
