TEXT: From the Journal of Orlienas 
  Apprentice of Eórdsidh the Shield Mage 
  Orlienas’ Journal

  The following remnants of Orlienas’ journal were found on the body of a meenlock in the warrens 
  below Castle Mukos.  The parchment pages are badly worn and faded with jagged tears and missing 
  pieces throughout making reading it difficult and time consuming.  The handwriting, while clear and 
  crisp in the beginning, becomes more and more illegible with each new entry. 
  Entry #1 
   
  I awoke alone and in total darkness.  For a moment, I thought it might have been 
  another nightmare like the ones we all have had of late.  But then the ache of my injuries 
  reminded me that this nightmare was real.   
  I used the last of my magic to summon a small light source.  I’m in some sort of tunnel 
  with barely enough room to crawl. 
  I must find my companions and a way out. 
  Entry #2 
   
  I am trapped in a maze!  Perhaps not a true maze, but these tunnels are riddled with 
  passages that loop back upon themselves or come to abrupt dead ends.  I am truly lost! 
   
  We should never have come to Castle Mukos.  No matter how bad the storm, we 
  should have listened to the warnings and stayed away.  I can only hope my companions are 
  safe and can finish our quest for Eórdsidh.  I cannot bear the thought of failing her and the 
  Shield Lands. 
  I have no choice but to continue searching, but I fear I am not alone. 
  Entry #3 
   
  I am being watched.  When they are near, I can here their guttural grunts and a strange 
  clicking sound.  Could that be their language? 
   
  Whatever is down here, I fear I am having a reaction to it.  My skin itches horribly and 
  my head throbs worse then the day after Brewfest. 
  Entry #4 
   
  Something is wrong with me.  My vision is blurry and I cannot focus.  The things 
  follow me everywhere… watching me… waiting for something… I can feel it.  I’m so tired I just 
  want to sleep… but I have to keep moving.

  Entry #5 
   
  I found Nolbin.  I thought he was sleeping but when I shook him a chunk of his flesh 
  came off in my hand.  I could not stop from retching until my throat burned from the bile.  
  Nolbin wasn’t dead, but he is changing into something… something horrible! 
  Entry #6 
   
  Whatever is wrong wit me is getting worse.  My skin still burn with itches and now my 
  muscles ache.  Feel like I’m in a daze… hard to concentrate. 
   
  Found a larger tunnel… trying to follow it, but so tired… need to rest… 
  Entry #7 
   
  must have passed out.  can’t think… brain is mush.  hard to write, but only thing keeping 
  me awake… 
   
  tunnel was not a exit.  had to go back.  nolbin was gone. 
  Entry #8 
   
  i no what happening… i am change to…  i saw one them in nolbin’s shirt… don’t know 
  how, but it was nolbin… he is  of them now… so am i soon… 
  Entry #9 
   
  change almost done… can feel my mind dying… i one of them…  
  i is home… 
  Upon closer examination of the pages, you find that on the reverse side of two of them includes two 
  spells; slide (Wiz1) and grater slide (Wiz2).  Both spells can be found in the Miniatures Handbook.  
  Anyone who plays SHL04-03 A Deepening Malice may use their Adventure Record and this 
  document as campaign documentation for access to learning those two spells as a PC would learn 
  any core spell.
