Linu can finally show her face in Everaska.

I’m not sure how he got a hold of it, but it appears that Meldanen was keeping the chalice that Linu Laneral was searching for.

I suspect Desther.

Desther always seems to be dismissing the evidence I bring to Fenthick, and the other things I’ve seen and heard during my stay in Neverwinter makes me suspect that Desther has something to do with the cult.

Meldanen wasn’t a pervert.

It seems that in an effort to prevent her life from being lost, that the dryad had charmed Meldanen. The sorcerer was glad to be rid of her.

Locked up in prison.

Taking into account Samuel’s knowledge of Meldanen’s behavior, it seems he was imprisoned because Meldanen overreacted to him snooping around a little more than Samuel expected. Judging from the journal, it appears that Meldanen suspected Samuel of trying to take the dryad from him.

Storing Meldanen’s items.

Meldanen and his minions seem to have awful lot of stuff- aside from the bellies of those disgusting Fire Beetles, so I’m having to “borrow” a crate in one of Meldanen’s storage rooms. This is because if I carry too much stuff, I won’t be able to sneak around as good, I won’t be able to run without making a noise, and I won’t be able to reload my crossbow as quick.

Lonely, lonely man.

Seems that all the men I come across in the city of Neverwinter are one of three things:

1. Dutiful
2. Scum
3. Perverted

It seems that Meldanen fits into the third, after reading from his journal:

I cannot get the dryad out of my mind. Thoughts of her are with me always. Today I tried to draw blood from her to fuel my experiment, and found I could not hurt her even that much. Has she enchanted me? Or am I simply lonely for such beauty? I cannot think clearly. Still she recoils from my touch… I must win her love, I must! I will not release her from the cage till she feels as I do!

Keeping that dryad locked up… what is he thinking ?

Bit stupid for a sorcerer.

Either the sorcerer Meldanen is very stupid, or knows my team (Half-Orc and Dire Wolf) are here already and is simply lying in wait- hoping his minions will weaken me no doubt.

And he has a right to be so.

So I’m going through the Hodge estate, and the number of traps I’m detecting thanks to my deity keeps increasing to astounding levels. I came across his cook earlier, and it seems to me that someone must have tipped him off that Ophala Celderstorn wanted one of his valuable urns.

Bit off more than he could chew.

I feel a little guilty about doing it, but I’m just killing time with a little art theft before I go take go take on the sorcerer Meldanen. Took on too many guards at once and the Half-Orc died, so I had to use the Stone of Recall Lady Aribeth gave me. Being resurrected seems to make the henchmen too shocked to get back to me themselves.
