Tauster's Journal Entry #1540

Where did they go??? One moment they were investigating the chamber and the next they vanished! And all my spells and even those from other markers I had could do nothing to find them! In fact,  Dionces, cleric of Dumathoin has my marker to create some items from him as when I asked her to Commune with her God, He was so infuriated He took half of her magic items as punishment for bothering Him with what He called something trivial. Which I think just means that even He couldn't locate them and didn't want to admit it to His follower. Interesting...

Well, Thokartar could have picked a worse time to bring the party back. Fortunately they were wise enough to talk to him first instead of fight. So while I was surprised at least I wasn't in the bath or with a woman (Note to self, I hear there is a new serving wench at the Hound and Tails. Must remember to memorize a glamour and have "Taut the apprentice" pay her a visit!)  The missing party members are back, but not talking about what happened to them. Tho not as bad as Webley, Sten is intractable once he gives his word, so I will just have to keep an eye on them to see if it comes out sometime soon. And as for the magics surrounding Basatenebredouterox, I am stumped as to how those enchantments are balanced against each other. It would be far beyond my power, hell, it would probably be a challenge to the Old Man (Tho he'd never admit it!) I have given  the party materials in which to make a temporary portal to the UnderDark to speed them along their way (Note to self, call in marker from Hephzibah to get a permanent gate made). The party is on their way to the City of the Glass Pool. May Tymora and Clangeddin watch over them. (And even if they won't, I will!)
