Dear Diary
It's been an exhausting week. The great shining positive has been some new arrivals in town and some old faces returning too. We need brave people to help defend this city against and investigate the many threats it faces. Ashram Aardyn has returned and taken up the mantle of the Adventurer's Society, and Belorfin returned shortly afterwards to help him. They will teach any new arrivals willing to listen extremely well. Ash has also said I'm welcome in the hall at any time, which is lovely.
One of the new arrivals is particularly endearing, a little moon elf named Fhela. She is a fellow Selunite and is so utterly cheeky that I can't help but laugh at her. She said something that offended Sherina, something so trivial that I thought nothing further of it. I took her to the crystal caves to find a crystal and left her there, asking her to meet me in town afterwards. On my way back, I passed Michael who was looking for her. I told him to check the caves and kept going.
Fhela never arrived back in town, so I became worried. Fjord and I went to the cave and found her dead, presumably by Michael's hand. Michael and Sherina then arrived, and we had a tense stand-off with some exhausting conversation. I wanted Michael to trust me and the legal system (he claims to be a man of the law, after all), but he felt that was a certain death sentence and preferred suicide. Thankfully Ash and a party of his arrived and I was able to leave the matter in his hands. Selune bless that man. In the end, Fhela was revived and her testimony helped Michael avoid being executed. Sheri and Michael married afterwards, though did not invite me. Understandable, I suppose.
Sheri and I are still friends, and Michael and I have 'made up' I suppose. But is this the price I pay for being so merciful and nice? These things happening over and over? He assaulted me once in his madness, and I chose to quietly send him to the farms to do some positive work and be cared for by Sherina. I legally could have had him publicly beaten, fined and enslaved if he could not pay. If Michael had lashed out at Mayor Stillscar, I shudder to think what would have happened to him. I don't want to be like that. But I can't keep giving people second and third chances. I pray to the Lady of Silver that this time all will be well with Michael.
Commissar Stormweaver is doing some good work for me. She loved the new sword I asked Fjord to make for her. She suggested I also give Reginald Narthwell something constructive to do. I feel bad for him, having essentially taken his job. Fortunately, I have something he could do. Hopefully he's willing to discuss it with me.
