Site E7 has become the strangest insight into this primitive time we've uncovered so far. The large quantity of fluids we believe were stored at this site is evidenced in the glass vials we found and the traces within them. The trace analysis reveals that reproductive fluid of some kind, from a highly evolved creature, at some point resided in these vials. I can only speculate what they must have been doing with it at a venue seemingly based on entertainment. - Archaeologist Ankil's log, 2341 D

Wow, that took a while but I found them. Irritatingly, still alive. But, no matter. I can map around them. It looks like they're heading towards our tenant, so I won't have to deal with them too much longer. Hopefully, they haven't permanently damaged anything that would require a map change, I know master hates map changes. - Withers' journal

Where did they go?! I know every inch of this place....don't I? How long has it been since I did my mapping run? Perhaps master will be able to tell me. Although, he'll expect me to have handled those details. I may be inviting trouble if I ask him. It's time for a new mapping run. I'll wait until after they've 'concluded' their journey. - Withers' journal

Site E7 shows traces of what we think is a Hallow spell. The strongest remnants we've seen from an Orphian-era site. My colleagues and I felt somewhat cheerier while digging. We also discovered a number of what appear to be game machines and game playing equipment. As is common in this kind of establishment, we also discovered a large quantity of fluids. - Archaeologist Ankil's log, 2340 D

The Diary of R.S. Nested universes are better but a lot more initial effort to create. And, apparently, tense to maintain. Perhaps I need to go in a direction other than universes for fuel. But, I've earned a break. The Bumble Bees are on cable again, I'm gonna see where they go this time and what obvious encounters they fuck up.

Site C2 is strangely primitive, given what we know about the civilisations of this time. It seems to be a basic campsite. Although, there are far more tools and possessions here than the number of humanoid remains would indicate. Perhaps a hermit or hoarder of sorts resided here? However, the other set of remains we found in the area is clearly a creature from another realm. It appears to be winged and predatory. Perhaps it was the reason this small, hoarder humanoid died so violently. Violently doesn't even start to cover it, really. Something had a grudge against this small...man.  - Archaeologist Ankil's log, 2339 D

The Diary of R.S. Created a small universe today. Burning it in my pipe did not provide the high I was looking for. Watching these dopes is only tolerable while high. Although, there's certainly violence. Maybe I need to make a series of nested universes and burn that for a denser flame. Yes, I'll try it and report back.

Yes, my pets, this is the floor that will be your undoing. The master's riddles may be helping but they'll be of little use against the resident of this floor. - Withers' journal

I no longer hold out hope that you're alive. I know this is a gesture entirely for myself. Or...perhaps, for your loved one. I'm finding my search challenging. Without the resources of our outpost, I'm working in the dark. But I have found one group that we were keeping tabs on. Hopefully, they'll lead me to the prototypes still unrecovered, although I don't know why they would. I suppose groups like theirs tend to seek out objects, people, and places of great power. Anyway, I've made this report in the form of a bedtime story, as I did once before. I hope it finds someone who needs it.   - Galahad

If only the Master could suck away all the dumb luck from the area, in addition to the loose souls. At least they delve ever deeper. Heartened by their escapes, their confidence will build, drawing my grasp ever tighter around their throats.  - Withers' journal

Site B4 appears to contain the ruin of a kind of primitive kitchen. Most puzzling is the presence of sand in the kitchen and even in the food. We checked whether this was rubble and, no, the arcane bubble protected most of the sites from rubble over the millennia. They seem to have intentionally added sand to their food, or, at least, they did in this city. - Archaeologist Danell's log, 2337 D

The Diary of R.S. There must be something else on but I can't bring myself to change the channel for some reason. Why so many panthers? 

The master wants me to lure them down. I'll reduce patrol frequency but keep new batches in production. I hope they find the wine. The wine is my favourite. - Withers' journal

Reevaal is a strange place. The South side is terribly civilised, I must admit, I'm a fan of it. But, the North, I don't want to sound rude in my own journal; think of future generations who will read it! But, the North side is a little...messy? I'll stay for a short while, entertaining the locals with my stories, before continuing my journey East into the forest.   - Volo's journal ***** Our Kickstarter, Molldini's Silver Pack: The Deck of Even More Things, inspired by this podcast, is now live!

I've changed my mind. The journey to The Roost was dull (and a little scary). I shall venture Eastward toward the Eastern forest. Little seems to be known of it, which means it is a prime candidate to be Volo'd!  - Volo's journal ***** Our Kickstarter, Molldini's Silver Pack: The Deck of Even More Things, inspired by this podcast, will be launching on May 4.

A great battle took place at Site B23. After today's discoveries, I'm sure of it. There's evidence of significant arcane damage: scorching, electromagnetic interference, and some kind of other-worldly disturbance. The zealots tell me a pretty serious deity must have been present, or at least their avatar summoned, to leave marks like the ones we've discovered with our scanners. I'm excited to dig further and uncover more of this strange and powerful civilisation. - Archaeologist Danell's log, 2337 D ***** Our Kickstarter, inspired by this podcast, will be launching soon.

What about 'Volo's Guide to Entertainment'? That may hurt my credentials as a serious explorer. Anyway, I think I should arrive at The Roost soon. I've heard interesting things. I'll give the place a chance to enthral me but I'm not going to force it. I've heard stories about the Eastern forest, too. - Volo's journal ***** Our Kickstarter, inspired by this podcast, will be launching soon.

The Diary of R.S. They dream so small. They're using my discarded inventions as fuel. They could subjugate their local dimension with half the stuff I've chucked away.

I'm considering a moustache. A large moustache. Although, it's quite warm around here. But, on the other hand, I am leaving soon. Anyway, back to business. I have enough content now to consider my next book title. Perhaps, 'Volo's Guide to Very Specific Things'? Or, 'Volo's Guide to Divination and Psychic Eavesdropping'? It's a bit long but more relevant, I suppose. - Volo's journal
