Session 1
Found a medusa. Talk about travelling in style! And I blend in quite nicely. Her name is Alke. Pretty name, let me try to pronounce it: Ssssalssssskeeee…. No, that doesn’t sound quite right! She does good banter… I might hang around for a bit. See what I did there?

Session 2
Shit, huge boar. I love boar, but only when it’s dead. And they’ve burned it as a sacrifice… silly people, it would’ve made such a nice meal.
I think I made a friend as well – his name is Thssseeo. We’re both small and we can both do magic. This is the beginning of a great friendship… It would be so much better though if he was a medusa. Can he be turned into a medusa? Next time we find a library can someone search for ‘how to invoke a medusa curse’?
…
Session 8
No longer friends with Theo. He prefers hooved creatures. Drunken hooved creatures. Snakes and hooved creatures are arch nemesis. Pity, I liked him…
Dancing, love dancing. Why are these stupid snakes not dancing with me??? Damn, must tone it down and remain inconspicuous. Great festival! Feeling a bit tipsy!
Forest. Pretty. Goatlings. Shit! Hate goatlings even more than I hate, well, other hooved creatures. These are especially dumb and are all coming for me. Oh shit, I’m going to die...

Session 9
… I am not dead. Yet.
Squirrel, I could eat some squirrel. Even mad squirrel, I don’t discriminate. Why does every room in this stupid temple have a trap? Why did I think adventuring was a good idea???

Session 10
Oh my, the squirrel just saved my life!!!!!! I am never eating squirrel even again. I will be a squirrel-atarian…. Is that how that goes? Or…
By the way, I still think this has been a dumb idea. Just sayin’... this girl seems to have more spell slots than hit points!

Session 11
Meat! Dinner finally, I have been starving. What? Human meat, that’s disgusting even for me.
Theo has found something pretty and has gone all mushy. I’d go and hug him if only Alke would move in closer to him. Come on now...
What is that thing? How many arms… can I borrow a couple? You see, I have none and you have six. I’m sure we can reach an agreement. Alke seems good at persuading (did you see how she got those girls out? I’m almost proud) and if not, she can spit roast you!

Session 12
What the f*** just happened???? First the vines, then the roof collapsing on me, now I feel dizzy, green light, fire everywhere… I am utterly confused, but we seem to be safe for now that we’re out of that damned temple.
Alke is quiet. Very quiet. Don’t think she’s slept at all. At least there’s an endless supply of snacks. Love these honey pastries. Still, a bit worried about her…

Session 13
Woop! Alke managed to fry something today. Seems to have made her happy. Food makes me very happy, though not sure food was what she had in mind.
I’m not sure I like Loreus. It’s not the hooves, I just feel oddly possessive. Just look at his cheesy stare…

Session 14
She’s going through old entries in her diary. Narcissistic much, Alke? Oh wait, she’s found some old spells among and is reading them, gesticulating like she’s trying to cast them. Oh yes, that one looks like what she’s used in the throne room - that was so cool, the village entirely made out of water! And she manages to make a snake out of her wine, woop! Only to splash the wine across the table. Such a waste! The next spell is about familiars… not familiar with that one. See what I did there?
As she reads it I feel funny, and like an avalanche I can hear her thoughts in my head. Something tugs at my mind, I suddenly feel bound to her. What mad magic is this???

Session 15
I think I am getting used to this. It’s strange like I’m not entirely myself, but it’s comforting: I’m never alone. And I have new powers, did you see what I did to that griffin?? We turned it into roast chicken! Yum!

Session 16
Alke, I really don’t like this!!!! It smells and there are creatures coming out of the walls!

Session 17
Aeneas, no! I am sorry, I am so, so sorry! I promise to be more careful next time…

Alke seems even more distraught. Even scared. I’ll just curl up next to her and her and hopefully that’ll make it ok. What could be in those mines to scare her so…


Session 18
Look at me, I’m a flying snake!!! Well, I have a magical hand lifting me up. Oh, Alke this is so cool! I wonder what’s up there...

Chicken snakes??!?!?!?! Or snake chickens?!??!?!!? What the hell are those? Well, who cares, they still smell of fried chicken. Yum!


Session 19
Bad dogs! Very bad dogs!!!
….
I’m back. Oh yes, I am back! But don’t remember anything since those rabid dogs. Oh, we’re still in these dreaded mines... Still, Alke, I’ve missed you!


Session 20
Aeneas is back!!!!


Session 21
Giant puppies, odd chickens, a forge keeper from the plane of fire, then woods, satyrs, old lost temples. No day with Alke is boring! Though it would be nice if we could just have some time when no one attacked us. To enjoy the sights, to have a good think about the world...

Session 35
Finally some excitement! I thought all my life had boiled down to getting killed every few hours, pastry and being hugged a bit too tightly by Alke whenever she’s stressed or sad. I mean, there are worse things in the world, but even when you get a moment of peace it’s usually broken by Theo ranting about something. Or Calliope singing, but I enjoy that. She’s quite good… better than most snake bards I know. Oh, Alke says that’s not a proper compliment. Must do better…

… but not in front of these lovely snakes. They’re just swooning over me. Especially the copper one there. Oh hello handsome! You looks like you’ve fallen from the heavens. Sssss… You too, love! Oh, and you stunning lady. Though, not quite my size, but who cares. This has made my day, thank you Alke!
