Thassk's Journal

Content
"Thassk Kun appears to be the Hunters' chronicler, for his journal details their numerous adventures, most of which involve capturing or subduing dangerous monsters or adventurers. A typical scheme involves Thassk or Pyrrus locating their prey through divination, followed by an elaborate illusion set up by either Joker or Dormamus that allows the group to get close enough to the target to spring the trap with minimal risk of retaliation and without raising suspicion. Most of the entries follow this same pattern, but a couple that don't catch your eye.

"Dennaton is becoming increasingly reckless with his demands. It has been clear to me for some time that his schemes will eventually lead us all to ruin, but I was surprised to see the Winged mention as much to me today. I always thought that their precious secret would bind them together forever, but this off-hand comment implied that may not be the case. A first chink in the armor perhaps..."

"The hunters became the hunted for once! Such serendipity! Several devas actually tried to pull a trick on us today, but I was able to see through their illusion before they could spring the trap. They were capable opponents, and they fought with reckless abandon—almost a religious zeal—ignoring the rest of us and concentrating their entire wrath on the Winged. As always, of course, we triumphed, and I suspect our would-be conquerors will soon find themselves in the arena.

"I was puzzled, however, by some things the devas yelled during the battle. 'Your treachery has damned you forever!' they shouted to the Winged, along with, 'No true Tormite would ever abandon her duty!' Most cryptic of all was, 'The souls of Hedasha Gorge shall never be forgotten!' If the rest of Celestia is as obsessed with our leader as these devas were, our lives may be even more exciting than we think."

"That damned Red Wizard reject! He has gone entirely too far this time! I shall bear his insults no more! He thinks the Red Wizards defeated us salamanders in the rebellion, does he? Well, there's at least one more casualty left in the old war because Pyrrus is dead—DEAD—and nothing the Winged says will dissuade me from killing the pompous ape this time!""
