( 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.

Whale-like is exactly it! They always reminded me of whales.

A "beached" Grand Worm is just as dangerous, and it'll likely call for help. We've seen another species that came with the first wave of rifts-- it's about a foot long, flies, glows fluorescent green in the dark... you'll see them flocking near where a Grand Worm is if it's in the area.

Their carapaces are tough as steel, but they're not impervious. Especially if you can get between the segments.

Jes, I know you can't see my face or hear my voice but they are both very scared right now. In general and for you specifically.

I already lost my home and my mind my first teacher and near everything else I hold dear to darkfiends. I can't lose you, too. I'm just asking you to be careful.

I rather think Linhardt will be the least of our problems if that happens.

[ Though - it is entertaining (sorry, Linhardt) and some part of Claude's amused enough by that, it'd be far more so if not for the possibilities of everything else. ]

I'll reach out to her. It can't hurt to make sure someone's looking out for that.

I see. Well, that one was definitely far from precocious. As for violent, I'm glad it didn't do anything more the burn some things up. If it went after the badger, I'd treat this more personally.

I'm fine. It was probably too confused to see me.

I wouldn't keep any of them for the fun of it given the mayhem this one has caused, but yes it might be a temporary solution. If only we knew how they got there and can we replicate the method somehow.

I wish I had answers to your questions.

Yennefer, I've learned, will mock those same things that she is.

[Hah. Take that, Yennefer! The truth hurts! He pauses, though.]

Don't tell her I said that, I enjoy my balls where they are currently.

You know, it is utterly fascinating to meet someone from her past. Not that we haven't had our very important bosom-to-bosom conversations, but she is a tighter drawer than most. Now, I won't ask after her secrets, of course, but... I do find it a bit reassuring to know she was as young and stupid as the rest of us commoners.

Let's say this is entirely between us. Forever.

He sounds wonderful. Honestly. Hector had his... very sordid history, but he was also trying to do better. I think people willing to change, who recognize the need to do so, are stronger than most. Especially if they succeed.

He is not the only person I know who is dead in their world. Who want to stay on this sphere. If there is any way I can help you, I would be pleased to do so. They are people I love, and I want them to stay here.

Ha! You do know her. Don't worry, both of us are too smart to tell her what we know about her, she'd feel obligated to be mean.

The thing you have to understand about the mages -- I'm going to say this without going into too many details because frankly, they're horrifying -- is that the majority of us don't choose. We're taken or bought as children and raised to be soldiers for the Brotherhood until the day we die. Sometimes we serve by going to courts and sometimes we get lucky and get to go hide in books, but we always come when they call. You only get through it by being a survivor.

We were young and stupid and in love and that made us vulnerable. We broke each other. But we found our way back, even if it was over a half-century and a new sphere later.

Lucifer is difficult but he's worth it. I have a feeling I would have liked Hector too by your description. If you ever want to talk about him more to a sympathetic ear, I'd be happy to listen.

I will let you know if I do. I've discussed it with Geralt and Cirilla, they want to stay here too.
