( A second set of handwriting shows up here — hey, it’s him, ya boi. )

Here’s the kicker: it seems like they might be tourists. Monsters from back home. We hunted down a pack of Hellhounds earlier today, and unless I missed a big memo over the last year and a half or so, those aren’t native to this planet.

The point here is to get a central repository of intel going. If you know anything, we’d appreciate a tl;dr here for other folks to reference. I’ll also start slapping notes on the Monster Board in the Roadhouse if anyone wants to swing by, but we figured it’d be good to have an open line of communication to reference on the fly in case you run into something with teeth and a bad attitude.

Hellhounds are ferocious, wolf-like creatures typically utilized to hunt down the damned and drag their souls to Hell. They’re sized anywhere between a large dog to a small donkey. They possess heightened senses, exceptional speed and strength, and prey may experience hallucinations when Hellhounds are nearby, used to inspire fear to either paralyze or frighten victims out of hiding.

Hellhounds will be invisible to undamned humans, but scorching a pair of eyeglasses with Holy Fire will make them visible to the wearer. For aid with Holy Fire, visit your resident Angel. In Thorne, find Lucifer. In Solvunn, Michael or Gabriel. I'm Castiel, you can find me in Cadens. A barrier of salt across all doorways and windows, or simply a circle around you, will keep Hellhounds from crossing. Typically, only Angel Blades could kill them, but it appears any conventional weapon here can work. Decapitation is advisable.


Stay safe, everyone. If you need help, call us. We’re here.

[He was trying to be cool and aloof, and now she has to make him sort of like her?? Man. Anyone who is a friend of Himeka, etc. etc....]

She could absolutely kick my ass if she wanted to, and then probably light it on fire. But yeah, don't worry. I'll watch her back.

Was putting together a tier list in my head of monsters you could take vs. monsters you should probably run the hell away from. It's not looking good, buddy.

I'm afraid loss is an integral part of love. It always comes, in some form. Not to sound terribly pessimistic. It was utterly worth it.

Really? His first? My, nothing against you, but I never imagined any mages would have that sort of... I'll be frank. Compassion. Patience. Either one, really. If you asked my opinion -- I know you haven't, but I'll offer it, anyway -- that he is so difficult to go on with, and you've gone and done it and fallen a bit for him anyway... I think that's a very good sign, Istredd.

Though that bit doesn't surprise me about Yennefer. She had her own -- quirks.

I don't mind at all. Believe me, it is not many I share such happy stories of love with! I am always glad to hear of it. I think, if we must be here, the least we can have is someone who understands us fully. To walk this new sphere with.

Yenna's always teased (sometimes mocked) me for being a romantic fool from our teenage years to now, so some personality quirks stick. I think what we had together helped both of us retain more humanity than most, even if it didn't work out. Most mages don't know what love is. We're trained to only have loyalty to the Brotherhood and serve its needs. We've both been slight outliers.

She is going to kill me for talking about her. Maybe thinking all of that is what makes me a romantic fool.

Lucifer gives me unrelenting support and respect, he protects me from others and sometimes from myself, he boosts me when I'm feeling down, and he is brutally honest when I'm being an ass. He can be a real prick, he's far from perfect, but none of us are. He made this place his second chance. Not everyone does.

I am trying to find a way to magically anchor people to this world who have no reason to go back. He's dead, this is our only chance.

Yes, I think so. You're more holding something in place than directing it outward. I've been using these little glowy orbs to see around the forest at night.

[ Yes, but she SINGED it. Which means she can magic! And that's all that matters to Himeka. Believe in the lizard that believes in you, Hilda. ]

No, they don't. I don't know the full situation on your star, but people want power for a variety of reasons, good or bad. And sometimes the consequences can be too great.

Not without a chocobo. I'm sure we can teach them to fly once we discover all the aether currents in this area.

But mayhaps the mages will be able to open up a few portals for us in the interim, yes? They've done it before!

Thanks. Glad it got the point across.
