Day 47
Crusader Golin and I have discovered what we believe to be the crypt of the ancient Haggle Baron Dalnir. It would seem as though the babble of the goblin slave we caught and tortured turned out to be accurate. Unfortunately we must rest and plan our route into the depths of this beast. It is filled with very dangerous creatures. Hopefully we can overcome the odds and find the final resting place of the Visceral Dagger and the Grand Forge.
Day 48
Blast! This IS the Crypt of Dalnir. We found the entrance which had the ancient Haggle Baron's name upon it. How foolish of the crypt keepers! The Crypt is filled with croaks from many races. They seem to be in some sort of trance and far more powerful then they appear. We were about to enter the main tomb when we were assaulted by the horde. Crusader Golin sustained a major gash on his shoulder. Before I could cauterize his wound, blood flowed all over, even this entry. Tomorrow we shall try to enter the main tomb.
Day 49
We finally had an opportunity to make a run into the main tomb, but just as we had the sarcophagus in our sights, we fell through a trap door hidden on the floor. We fell into what appears to be the true Crypt of Dalnir and also a haven for coerced sarnak! They were upon us in no time. We ran, but found ourselves in an unholy church. We fought our way out, but just as we broke through, Golin's skull was punctured by what appeared to be a rusted Crusader's khukri. I am now in hiding,praying to any god.

Dag the Blasphemer Author Unknown
Long ago in the time of Emperor Ganak, Scholar Dag served and studied with the great Master Atrebe Sathir, first-hatched son of Rile Sathir.
After the unfortunate demise of Atrebe, Scholar Dag begin his study of the forbidden circles, Wizardry, Enchantment and Magic. He soon began to specialize in the ways of Wizardry, in contravention of the Laws of Kotiz.
Scholar Dag kept his studies to himself. Most of his studies were held in private, only his Sarnak slave named Kly was allowed to assist in his blasphemous studies.
Hearing of Dag’s skills, Kurn Machta, the Dread Torturer and trusted general of Rile Sathir, secretly commissioned Dag to create a magical dagger for his personal use.
Dag traveled to Kurn’s outpost to begin his work. His slave Kly and some sarnak slaves answering to him followed, pulling behind them a special forge which belonged to Haggle Baron Dalnir.

Day 55 I have happened upon the Crypt of Dalnir. His Grand Forge is near, I can feel it. I have also discovered a segment of a staff. It shows signs of Iksar craftsmanship, but of the age of Atrebe. I know the other part must be here. It would fetch heavy coin.
