25 hours (so 1 left over), next one at 240. Gain a tier-appropriate magic item.

1 hour (1 mini-adventure), expected level 1st. Did Mission 5: Above the Clouds. Adventure Calls. Dropped Sentinel Shield. 20/20 for Noble Soul!

DM info pending. Helped save victims, but failed to catch the bad guy. Amber would have gotten him! Self-esteem +0. Got a chunk of adamantine, which can be forged into a dagger, sickle, or light hammer for the standard PHB cost of those items. Leveled up to 4. Story award: Favor of Zellani. You saved the life of Zellani, a priestess of the Maiden of Pain. To show her thanks, she has offered to perform standard spellcasting services (detailed earlier in this adventure) at a 25% discount. She may also help in other ways in subsequent adventures set in Melvaunt.

4 mini-adventures. Ethereal DM.

Successfully restored the lighthouse and caught some murderers. Self-esteem +2.

Found a Potion of Healing. Had to spend a downtime day clearing out the collapsed tunnel. Rescued a prisoner, befriended him, and later saved his life. Successfully completed the mission with no casualties. Almost died. (Amber wouldn't have gotten knocked out!) Self-esteem +2.

Walked into a trap. Friends got captured. Failed to save them. Got captured as well. Only escaped by sheer luck. Amber would never have messed up so badly! Self-esteem -5. Used a healer's kit charge (9 remaining).

2 hour module. Awarded Cloak of Displacement. Ethereal DM quest.

Basically ignored the travel encounter with Wind Walk, scouted the dungeon with Arcane Eye, and easily escaped from the demonic horde with Teleport. +2 self-esteem.

3 hours, total of 11 in hardcovers. Chapter 7. Re-summoned familiar. Used 3 healing potions, bought 8 more, now have 20. Copied some spells (see scribing entry). The mission went well, +1 self-esteem.

Easily finished the adventure with nary a scratch on me and no serious injuries to any party members. Self-esteem +2, now at 2 and positive for the first time! Barnacles had a hallucinogenic encounter with myconids.

5 hours, total of 5 in hardcovers. Aryte nearly got eaten by ghouls and I didn't see them in time to warn him, but I did a good job tanking a black pudding, +0 self-esteem overall. Ended the session with full HP, 4/5 hit dice, 6/7 Wand of Web, 2/4 1st level slots and 1/3 2nd level remaining.

Used 2 healing potions, bought two more, paid 10 gp to re-summon familiar, paid 600 gp for Planar Ally. Completed a faction assignment. MVP against skeletons and in an interrogation scene, no major screwups, +2 self-esteem.

Completed all five missions! Leveled up to Cleric 9. Bought some stuff, copied a scroll into my ritual book (see accompanying entries). Did very well in the mission for +2 self-esteem, now at 0! Got death cursed, ew, yuck.

Gained the downtime activities Dreamwalker and Student of Stone.

4 hours, total of 15 in hardcovers. Defeated Strahd, +2 self-esteem. Entered Barovia and then left after killing Strahd. Got a surprisingly late-pick Staff of Power (the people before me took the Luck Blade, Manual of Bodily Health, and Helm of Brilliance over it) and scooped up a few extra items at the end. Also got Strahd's spellbook (comprehend languages, fog cloud, sleep, detect thoughts, gust of wind, mirror image, animate dead, fireball, nondetection, blight, greater invisibility, polymorph, animate objects, scrying) and Patrina's spellbook (detect magic, identify, mage armor, magic missile, detect thoughts, mirror image, misty step, counerspell, fly, lightning bolt, banishment, fire shield, stoneskin, cone of cold, scrying, wall of force, globe of invulnerability, teleport, mind blank, time stop).

I can't believe I trusted Kelvan. I was such an idiot. Now he's captured Hildehrune and it's all my fault. -1 self-esteem.

Spent 1 downtime day memorizing the teleportation circles to White Plume Mountain and the Umbral Repository. Leveled up to 6. Copied Water Breathing and Leomund's Tiny Hut from Edward Elric (see scribing entry).

Fought well against some green dragons and made some good skill checks. +1 self-esteem. Story award: Indebted to Verthandantylynx. You've pledged a favor to the ancient green dragon Verthandantalynx. She's sure to call it in the most in opportune time.
