I helped steal Waterdeeps treasures. Not only have I stole Waterdeeps
treasures, I changed the fates. Am I the same drow that came to the
surface so full of hope and aspirations? The time elemental within Cold
Comforts library has become considerably stronger. While we were
standing outside the library, arguing about where to begin to search for
Rochester, we were taken back in time. With a knock on the door I was
greeted by yet more wanna-be Blades. A dwarf and a elf who had an arm
band. After inviting them in, I and most of the others went to have
breakfast in the kitchen. I sat there, eating my fruit when Scout walked
in. Of coarse, he didn't believe that I was a Blade, so I asked him to
try to take my arm band. I was shocked when he took it off! This arm
band, my identity for the past year of my life, just came off! I guess
traveling in the past affects the bands magic. Well, Demittry could not
leave it at that, and tried to convince Scout of our authenticity. He
even went as far as to take Scout and Epona (who happened to wander by),
to the library, and had them close the doors. Of course, in THIS time
frame, the elemental is very week. It didn't work. My stomach sank with
each word he blundered out. Subsequently....We all ended up going to
jail. Everyone that is, except the new elf who had the arm band from
this time, and Paragons nephew and the dwarf. They went out to lunch.

On the way to jail, we became witness to Armonds infamous attack on her
fellow Blades. The history books said that she died in this attack. As
I watched, I felt a strange feeling inside me. Suddenly, I could not
bare to watch anyone die anymore. I could not stand by idly and see
death take another. I have seen it too much lately. So I cast a hold
spell on Armond. She survived the encounter, I think. Let the Lords of
Waterdeep decide her fate. It is the only sane way to deal with it.

At the jail, Gilto refused to part with his Holy Hammer. I could not
blame him. After reassurance that it would be returned to him, he gave
it up. Sitting in the cell, I began to ponder our predicament. We were
likely to be found guilty of impersionating Blades. According to Scout,
we broke into Cold Comfort. They could cast a Truth spell, but even
crazy people think that they are true. According to the new mage, we are
fifty years in the past. That means, my younger self is seventy-five and
still in the Underdark with my mother. Most of the Blades I am with are
not even born yet. It might not be so bad. If we could get out, we
might be able to stop some of the worst atrocities before they happen. 
We could fix the time elemental before it becomes powerful, I could stop
the disaster of the Magic Beans, and most importantly....I could stop the
slaughter on the night of my acceptance into prietesshood. 

After this line of thinking, I was grateful when Ebonys familiar voice
was at my barred window. She offered to break me out because "we were
ballsy enough to break into Cold Comfort". So, using a portable hole,
she helped me and the rest of the future Blades escape. For some odd
reason, Dimettry and Gilto seemed convince that they would be found
innocent and was adamant about staying. After casting a Charm spell on
Demittry, and Ebony cast the same on Gilto, we were on our way. Was I
wrong for forcing them to go? Surely they would not of been found
innocent. Who would believe such a story?

After our escape, we went to go get our equipment back. They were not
about to return our belongings, so we broke in with Ebonys portable hole.
We stole the chest that held our most prized items. The chest was
heavily enchanted and could not be open there. Unfortunately, it held
some highly prized magic items that were not ours. While we were
breaking into the treasury, Demitry and Gilto turned themselves in and
told the guards of the plot. We almost were caught. After spending the
night in Dragon Tower, Ebony opened the chest, and took everything that
was not ours. Including Giltos hammer. I tried to reason with her to
hand over the hammer to me, I have vowed to return it to his church if
anything had happened to him. She refused, stating that nothing has
happened to him and that ultimately he betrayed me. I found I could not
refute her logic. I was thoughly uncomfortable with the whole affair. 
Especially after she stated that it was to be given to Takahisis, her
god. I always thought she worshiped Lolth. 

Was I wrong? In not taking the hammer back? In saving Armond? In
breaking out? In breaking out, I feel I was justified. How much of a
chance does a drow have, given my races well deserved reputation? And
saving Armond....I had to follow my convictions, I was right. Grant it,
she was trying to kill off the other Blades....But I thoughly trust in
the Lords of Waterdeep. They will know what to do with her. But the
hammer? I'm not so sure. Who is Takahisis? What does this deity
represent? Giltos deity, states that he kills all dragons. Are there
not good dragons as well as bad? Who is to say one god is better than
another? I follow Eilistraee because I find that my heart macthes her
ethos. I think what bothers me most about this situation, is that I am
finding that my knowledge of the other gods is very limited. And with my
incomplete knowledge, I find that I can not make a sound decision. That
is what disturbs me.
