Dear Granny,
You have taught me well and have given me valuable advice. I am continuing to improve my skills and have learned more spells.
I
need to warn you about something that has happened to me since I
visited you last year. I had a mishap with some magic in the dungeons
below the city. I am sad to report that my corporeal presence was
duplicated. At first it didn’t appear to be very bad at all, and I was
very excited to have a twin sister. However, Granny, she seemed to truly
believe that she was the original and began spending less time with me
and my companions.
One
day, while adventuring, we discovered a wizard’s abandoned laboratory
and living quarters in the ancient ruins under the city. There were some
books and bits of alchemy forgotten, left behind. My twin had all but
disappeared with some of that magician’s objects including his tomes. We
heard more rumors about her the less we saw her. The last time we
ventured into that part of the undercity, she had moved into that
sorcerer’s apartments and had clearly been playing in the darkcraft you
often warn me against.
I
doubt you will ever cross paths with her since she seems to be content
living under the city. She will know that you would never help her with
darkcraft, so she won’t be seeking you out. People cannot comprehend the
duplication let alone distinguish between us, and I fear rumors of her
escapades may reach all the way to Lancre. Be certain, it is NOT me!
As
an unfortunate, yet disturbingly recurring, result of adventuring in
the undercity includes dying. The dwarf among us got himself killed
again, this time by an Orc. The cleric in our group convinced his Elder
Witch to perform Religion-y Magic to revive the poor little guy. In
return for her magic, he was compelled to take on a quest, which means
we ALL have to go with him to retrieve some stupid lantern talisman from
some stupid and possibly made-up monastery whose location is only known
by the country dwarves. So we sailed East to Dwarf Town, and spent a
few days in Dwarf Mountain. I swear, Granny, the stuff I get involved
with for these people, you would never have it.
Anyway,
when this is all over and we return to the city, I’ll plan a visit to
Lancre and tell you all about our latest adventures over tea. Say
“Hello” to Nanny Ogg from me.
Yours truly,
