July 3
On the way out of the Aboleth's lair we run into the big taste of Honeycomb Monster. We kick its sorry butt and go on our way. We rest up in the dungeon, then head out to talk with Ayesha. We give her the amulet, and she seems pretty surprised that we didn't all die. We ask her our questions:
1. What do you know about Igwolf and her kids?
She is a witch woman of the North famous for her ingratitude. She betrayed Nectanebos, and stole his magical books, dooming Egypt to slavery (Persian, then Greek, then Roman, then Fatimid). She was barren, but had two adopted daughters. It is rumored she had many bastards the she father while shapeshifted. Her daughter Aramin died in Illyria, and it drove her mad. She was deluded, and refused to believe that she and brought her daughters South. She burned her books an took to wandering as a vagabond, dying in obscurity in West Africa. As for her son, there were rumors that many powerful men of the age were her son: Alexander, Ptolemy, and Selecus, to name a few.
