28 Mirtul 1369
Well, the last couple of days have been very relaxed. Yoshi seems to have an amazing capacity to sleep for nearly unlimited periods of time so I left him snoring and sold some of our loot at this Mart I found run by a fellow called Ribald. Seemed like a nice chap with a large collection of items - I'll have to remember to revisit him in the future.
The innkeep has been wonderful; making sure we have hot water sent to our rooms, good honest food too. Of course no doubt the bill will be a rather handsome one when we leave! Money is the only thing that seems to make this city go around, although we are not short of it now ourselves. I realised last night that we've been so lazy and relaxed that I have been letting our goal slip from our minds - it is incredible how easy-living and wealth can addle the mind by removing any sense of urgency. Well no more! It's time to rouse the slumbering Yoshimo and set about finding Imoen.
By the Gods, the sooner we find her the sooner I can return to the countryside away from the money, the bad air and the laziness. This easy-living is insidious, corrupting you without you even realising it! I see now that I have a real need to get my feet back on the ground and to do this I need to leave the city. We'll find Imoen today or tomorrow, break her out of whatever prison and make good our departure. Perhaps Yoshimo would know where the jail is, or perhaps we could try the temple district and see if a priest would be willing to aid us in our search. I can't wait! This time tomorrow we shall be in the countryside and re-united, just like old times. Athkatla seems to have been the bringer of much pain into my life - it will be very nice indeed to put it behind me forever.
