I can’t decide whether my first Wizard Familiar should be a cat or an owl. 🦉 🐈 ?????

I asked my trainer for a better way to dispatch the rats so I stop shocking myself. She suggested a water spell instead. It's also an easy new way to bathe!

People sure are more friendly now. My reputation as an expert rat-dispatcher must be getting around...

As a fledgling adventurer in Elanthia, you may ask yourself, "Phelynn, what do you do if you run out of mana while hunting rats?"

The answer is NOT "bap them on the nose with your runestaff and run."

I'm not saying a giant rat got me, but I'm not NOT saying that someone may or may not have had to save me and that Empath Helnora may or may not have had to put me back together so a Cleric may or may not could resurrect me.

Whew. Saved it. #TipYourHealers #TipYourClerics #StopTippingOverThough

The giant rats in the Catacombs are very... prolific. It's a wonder the Landing hasn't been overrun before now... but we will hold the line...

Dear Diary
Day Four
Do you know what happens to a giant rat when it's struck by lightning?

... your bolt spell backfires on you through the water in the sewer and shocks you instead.

I have single-handedly fended off the Great Rat Invasion of 5124.
No one seems particularly grateful.
Ever since I got out of the sewers, everyone's giving me funny looks.
After I was down there for hours, slogging through the muck and the waste.
This is the thanks I get.

they have taken the grate and the second hole
I am still holding
I cannot get out
I hear squeaks
Squeaks in the deep
They are coming

whatever you Wehnimer's Landing people are throwing in your sewers, YOU NEED TO STOP

I've been observing a family of abnormally large raccoons for a few minutes. They haven't spotted me yet. I wonder if they're friendly. They probably shouldn't be in the Catacombs. I might need to rescue them.

I managed to afford some lessons with my local Wizard trainer. I feel much more capable of handling any challenges that might come my way. She suggested I try some smaller foes in the Catacombs to start. After the mines, this should be a piece of cake.

...so I guess I was really in there for maybe half an hour.
Time passes slowly when you haven't had breakfast.
now I'm hungry enough to eat a thrak. or maybe a manticore...
ooooooor maybe just a bagel. Yeah, let's stick with bagel.

Dear Diary
Day 3
Between the blacksmith and the clerk, I was able to scrape together enough to stay at the Raging Thrak Inn last night. I hear there's a fellow I can chat with for some advice. Hopefully it doesn't take very long. So #tired

...okay so I guess I was really only gone for maybe an hour.
Turns out mines are very dark, very damp, and very hot. Who knew. And the kobold infestation isn't doing anyone any favors.
There must be an easier way.

dear reader
if you've found this, i may already be dead. i don't know if it was getting lost in the mine, fighting the kobolds, or the moldy muffin i had to resort to eating. tell the blacksmith he's a two-faced anvil-kisser.
farewell, probably
