Keth'nell's Journal!

DAY ONE

"Hello, if you're reading this perhaps I have died. Oh, my! Or in the less dramatic scenario, perhaps I have simply missplaced my diary. If so, please stop reading and give it to me immediately, thank you."

"If, perish the thought, you have confirmed that I am dead and have through some means obtained my diary then hello! My name is Keth'nell. High priest of Kurtulmak!"

"If you are interested in learning the ways of Kurtulmak, his clerical duties and doctrine of efficiency then please continue! For these pages will detail my life in the coming days as well as the teachings I wish to impart onto a hypothetical successor! Bonus points if you, dear reader, are a Kobold. But rest assured if you are not, that is not mandatory to worship his greatness."

"If this does NOT interest you, then please, return this book to where you found it and forget what you have seen today. It's not intended for you!"

(The next two pages are blank.)

"Ah, I see you are a still here, I suppose you ARE interested in my teachings! Well done, you have passed the first test! Now the diary can begin proper. Consider taking notes, but not on this diary, you are just as liable to die as I am if you found this book in the place I am in now. And thus, someone else may find the book after you!"

The page has a tiny scribble of a smily face on the side. Next to it is a small note saying "No pressure!"

"Today I have found myself somewhere... strange. I was walking along the forest path, just left of the colony's third entrance. And suddenly I just... found myself somewhere else? I observed my surroundings and found myself on the edge of the sea, right next to an island. I had noticed several others in quite a similar situation walking toward a small home and made my way there."

"Let this be your first lesson! Under circumstances that are unfamiliar, foreign, and scary, you have more to learn than to lose! Keep calm and carry on, as I always say!"
