Strife:Dandras' waterlogged diary (Dark Brotherhood)

The Diary is heavily water damaged; ink on the front half of pages has heavily smudged and illegible, while the back pages are blank, indicating that it may have been forgotten about once lost. It has been sporadically written in, skipping dates more often than not.

''“I met a bard today, by the fires of Dagoth-Ur he was a bad one, be carried around this outlander machine of frogs that made sounds of sorts. I like that the frogs are trapped there but my ears don’t. I am going to make friends with this ‘Bondal’, he has in his possession a Void Shard amulet, an item to ward the divine intervention from the wearer, I have need of it, especially with the upcoming ‘delivery’... I should be able to acquire it, dark goddess protect us from this s’wits idiocy.”''

''“I wasn’t able to convince the man to give me the amulet, by the mad queen he’s a dumb outlander but a stubborn one at that. I’m going to try a different approach.”''

''“Tonight, me and Bondal had a drink, soul of the black knight I hate hanging around with that n’wah, but its necessary. He confessed when the bar had died down that he hates being a bard, and wants a way out; I have managed to convince him to take out a contract on his own life and"''

Crossed out, it says: "I am going use the languorwine blade to get the job done, and take the amul"

Continuing on as normal: "I’m going to get the new hires to use the languorwine blade and they can take the amulet. I like them, they’re not too curious but they love killing, Movis doesn’t see it but I do.”

A couple of days goes by with no entries.

“They’ve done it, the contract needs to be resolute, which is now their next mission, but by the soulless one I have this Amulet; I can’t believe my fantasy is all coming together."

Crossed out, it says: "Movis doesn’t understand, he likes them alive which is cruel I think, if they’re dead they can’t feel, especially if thousands of years dead, I thin" Continuing on as normal: "The listener just arrived, by the mad queen he’s arrived! The night mothers with him, by the dark ones, her smell... I’ve sent that Ungolim on a dummy mission, we have some of the more understanding agents waiting for him in that foyada.”

''“I spent a night with the night mother, so taboo! The amulet allowed me to do this without intervention from the divines and spirits... I cleaned her up in the morning and she looks the same, so perfect, I could never disrespect her. Bha doesn’t understand this, Bha understands nothing, he’s in a cage now along with Doufliz and the cat. He wears armour but underneath that armour he’s just flesh, I’m going to kill I swear, I want to eat his bastard heart for what he’s said about me, when I’ve given him this opportunity. I’ve told Movis to tell those new ones to take a short vacation, I can tell they’re loyal to Lucien that clueless n’wah, I can’t believe they put HIM in charge of the recruitment while he’s here, thank Sithis they didn’t ruin everything. Come morning they’ll die by Lucien’s hand due to MY trickery, and if they don’t, they’ll kill him and be loyal to me. We’re moving to the new headquarters soon. We’re keeping some agents in Vvardenfell to look out for either the party or Lucien, and keep our trading with Miun-Gei, that one gives some good deals for a slimy Argonian.”''
