28th February 1999
And then there were five...
I met Jake and Tom at the chantry as I'd agreed. They had another guy with them, Theo, a Virtual Adept if his love of computers is anything to go by. We had a meeting with Marcus where he gave us our Grand Mission Statement, to hang around until something turned up for us to do.... right...
Met Mitch in the bar. I didn't even know we had a bar. He mentioned something about an 'anomaly' in the South Downs. We were bored so decided to go with him and check it out.
So we go there and find this 'magical land' filled with frog people and a giant fish. And there was this 'king' who was really a psycho monster and tried to kill us. I ran and hid. I'm not especially proud of it, but what else was I supposed to do? There was nothing I could do to it magically, and what else could I do? Throw myself in front of it? Not only do I really not like the whole fighting idea, but that thing was scary. If I'd gotten close I would have got ripped into iddy biddy pieces, and what for?! Despite the fact that I don't even know these people, it wouldn't have helped them anyway. Jake managed to do a pretty good job of keeping his distance and throwing fireballs at it without my help anyway, even if it did turn him into a freaky pillar-of-fire man.
Then we met a crazy old guy in a box. Smells bad. Says he's Merlin though. Not entirely sure why, but I believe him. Still needs a bath. Apparently he's going to follow us around for a while, I'll have to take him to the centre and try and get him some clean clothes.
Got back out to the real world, frog people are bouncing around somewhere in the umbra now. Probably for the best.
