The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

Cheer up Gwenllian, Kalvos is bringing us presents when he returns from Gideon and I'm sure Urat will be home soon.

Any sign of either of the Van Der Brookes! I do wish people would stop running off and getting lost in the mire, it's quite distracting.

Philomena! Joy of joys. What has been happening? I've had quite an eventful few weeks! Called away by that letter from Simm, and kidnapped! But escaped, then injured when I fell out of a tree anongst other things, been at Hobsbane Waterfall with Wayland and his friends. Jacob Vask is still there mending, he said you had a battle. Lots of soldiers about...

Where is everyone? Gwenllian, Eve and Darius? How is business? It's very quiet, although I've just spoken to Sweeney outside, three guests are missing! But most of all how are you? It's been so long. You're still as pretty as ever.

Urat!!! We've missed you so much, do let me kiss you, we've be running the tavern without you as best we could, but we're so happy you are back!

Oh Urat! My darling. I've missed that smiling face of yours so much, I'm going to cover it in kisses! Oh you are blushing all over.

Gwenllian is here and eve is staying at munchkin manor being a busy little bee. Darius, well he was lost in battle, I think he must be dead. The battle was horrible and I'm afraid I have done some terrible things that I cannot forgive myself for. Still, I cannot be unhappy when I see you standing before me.

Business would be better if it wasn't for Bolte's thugs. Still Saygin Baal and Shevron Crow pay well, and our little pixie Shayla too. I am covering the expenses of our other guests, although Sweeney doesn't like it. Not like I am short of money and after what I've put them through.

Anyway my dear friend I have rambled on. Do let me fetch something for us to drink and you can tell me what happened to you. But first one more kiss!

Philomena only did what she had too, we were surrounded by Kursks men and her storm not only killed many of them , but kept us and the Tavern safe, Kalvos has gone to see Gideon Drake to tell him what is happening here.
You may have the largest most delicious Slice of Radigan pie and some ale dear Urat

Kalvos has gone to see Gideon, to tell him about Bolte starving the krogs to death and planning to kill all the non humans in the mire. Even mermaids. He rode the kelpie and I saw in my new mirror that he reached the citadel this afternoon but I think there are charms surrounding Gideon Drake as I could see no further. I hope Kalvos will be successful. I really don't want to meet Bolte, I've met his second in command and he was alright but then he thinks I'm human.

Oh Urat I've killed scores of people, maybe even hundreds. The storms were my magic, I was trying to protect us but I lost myself in the darkness of the tempests and have devasted the land. I never wanted to kill a single person, not even someone as evil as Kursk and now I have such death on my hands. At least Korben enjoyed seeing my dark side.

We lost poor dear Fester Lyle too. Oh poor krog, poor Darius.

By the way please can you explain to Sweeney that I am never going to marry him! Have you seen any of our old friends? Hoggy and Milly? Or Vance perhaps? I hope they are all well hidden with Bolte around.

we were all involved and you cannot blame yourself for Kursks death I ran him through with my sword myself, we were in a kill or be killed situation and we did what had to be done, Let us hope we never have to do so again!
