Ailyll is Forgiven, Harald Starts His Own Encyclopedia

After a medium successful interview with Chrisentius (sp?) Harald meets up with the rest of the party outside the midget castle. Harald looks a little disappointed at the lack of genocide, but we convince him that mini lizard monsters really are quite charming and don't deserve firey death. Instead we head back to Sicily to try and square things with Dememter. Sure enough, she *really* likes hearing "Dal Dalame", and we leave her cave happily forgiven. We look around for more treasure with the pirates, but all we find is a giant insect-man cocoon.

Next we decide to get that jerk Erix once and for all. Harald wishes that he would come ambush us some time soon, perhaps in some sort of limited way. Sure enough, it soon begins to rain frog monster bits. We are terribly disappointed and pester the corpse until it finally fails its save and has to talk to us. Insults are exchanged, and we manage to glean some potentially useful and certainly deadly info about some octopus monsters who may or may not have some of our stuff. That sounds scary, so instead we head back to Basra to hang out with the Brotherhood of Purity for a while. Harald sends them off on an exciting adventure far away and we set up for a totally super awesome attack on Jamila that won't go wrong at all.
