The Dark Temple

I could not stand for the method of restraint that Kelestri had used. I struck me as too like the ways of the wizards of Thay. I borrowed rope from the rogue Slyl to bind the foul servant of evil. He also had manacles for the blackguard's feet. I waited with the prisoner outside St.Sollars, I would not soil that holy place with his awful presence. I told him a quick death would be his if he cooperated, and that I would kill him as a Red Wizard only could if he tried to run. I thank Illmater that I did not have to do that. He told us much, and after, Animosus made as to take him to the gaols of Kurth. Slyl was faster and slew him cleanly, before anyone could act. The woman that was rescued had an awful tale, her father missing, her friend dying(a girl that these people know), a strange plot that I can barely grasp.
I fear I am bound up in great things and deep plots. The Company then made an assault on the temple of tyranny. We had gained the key and entered without problems. Strange beasts sprang at us as we entered. I am not sure what they were, a cross between demons and spirits. They moaned horribly, but it did not help them as we cut through them like an axe through rendered fat.
We found the high priest of the temple drunk and uncaring. He also told us much, including that one of our adversaries might be a Red Wizard. He cannot be allowed to succeed in his evil plans. I am with these people until this ends. They, Kelestri most, seem to be as motivated as I, but for their own individual reasons. We are going to a place called Maskyr's Eye.
