'''Author: Dr. Greg Ashcroft'''


I am nearly 
into mine 
seventh 
decade. And 
here I am 
running 
around with a 
pair of 
love-struck, 
wet-behind-the-ear
s, 
well-to-do's 
who don't 
know the 
first thing 
about 
adventuring 
and hunting 
monsters. I 
fear these 
two shall be 
the end of me 
yet. 
Secondly, I 
have signed 
on as the 
family 
physician 
for the House 
O'Wyn'Er. 
The current 
Patron, 
Jonithin 
O'Wyn'Er, 
and his wife 
Tasha are 
both friends 
of Lucius, 
and he said 
they could 
use the aid. 
Unfortunately, 
their son 
Kethan is 
quite 
rebellious 
and always 
getting into 
fights and 
the like. 
Thrice now I 
have had to 
beat off the 
demon guards 
just to keep 
them from 
slaying the 
boy. I don't 
even want to 
know what 
he shall be as 
a grownup. 
Luckily, he 
is about to be 
married to 
Natalia, some 
lesser noble's 
daughter 
from 
Trinsic. 
But progress on my 
potion is nigh, and in 
fact, I think I may 
have already got a test 
pattern, which is 
working, slowly but 
surely. 


Book 18, Part 10,

Myself, Aisleigh 
and Jenson were 
returning from a 
hike into the 
mountains to the 
North, when we 
stopped at the 
crossroad's outpost 
to ask for any sign 
of murderous 
activities and the 
like. Apparently 
the 'wonderful 
guards that Lord 
British has sent 
countrywide' were 
keeping the peace, 
and no criminals 
were in the area. I 
was a bit 
downtrodden to 
hear what had 
become of my 
elixir, but was 
quite alarmed 
when Aisleigh 
screamed out in 
pain. I ran to her 
as fast as my 
seventy-one year 
old legs could carry 
me, and found her 
fast in labor. I 
asked where
Jenson was, but he 
was nowhere to be 
found and she 
could not stop 
screaming to 
answer me. So I set 
forth doing mine 
duties, and helped 
the woman in all 
the ways I knew 
how. Eventually, 
she was 
comfortable and 
able to speak and 
told me Jenson was 
off trying to 
prevent some 
nearby orc lords 
from harming her. 
I sent one of the 
local peasant girls 
off to find him, 
and continued with 
my work. About an 
hour later, the two 
came back, bloodied 
and wounded, but 
alive. Jenson 
immediately went 
to his wife's side, 
and promptly 
passed out. 
An hour later, 
they were parents. 
They had two 
beautiful children, 
a boy and a girl. 
They had not 
expected this, but 
that is not 
surprising. Twins 
are a rare thing 
indeed these days, 
but they were 
happy, and the 
children were 
well. They 
promptly took a 
gate back to Britain 
to be properly 
rested, while I 
stayed behind to 
revel in the joyous 
occasion. I was 
happier than I had 
been in years. I 
later bought a 
horse from a 
nearby farmer, 
and headed on 
home.


Book 19, Part 3,

Both of the 
children fare well, 
as does their 
mother, but their 
father is not I 
fear. He did come 
to me the other 
night, begging for 
something that 
might help him 
sleep. I did meet 
his request, but 
noticed that some 
of the injuries he 
had sustained in 
the fight with the 
orc lords were not 
healing properly. I 
pulled forth an 
experimental 
formula in hopes 
of healing his 
wounds, both 
physical and 
emotional. It did 
quite an amazing 
job on his wounds, 
and he seemed 
heartier already, 
but still something 
seemed wrong. 
Nevertheless he 
bid adieu, and 
headed off for his 
family's home. 


Book 19, Part 7,

As I had suspected 
so long ago, the 
affects of a 
certain 
experimental 
healing potion I 
had, has taken its 
toll on Jenson 
Novelle. He has not 
slept in a week. He 
continues to grow 
thinner and 
thinner. Aisleigh 
came to me the 
other day, saying 
he threatened her, 
and the children 
(Note to self: Must 
discover children's 
names. 'Twould be 
a bit more polite to 
refer to them by 
name instead of 
'the lil' buggers'). I 
have put some 
more time into 
researching what 
might have gone 
wrong with the 
medicine, but my 
time is still largely 
split by the 'Lag 
Fever Antidote'. 


Book 19, Part 8,

I write this, much 
relieved. 
Apparently 
whatever 
tumultuous 
effects my 
medicine had on 
him, Jenson 
Novelle has 
returned to his 
normal self. I am 
relieved to say the 
least, as I now have 
a full coffer to 
work with, have no 
further 
distractions, and 
am able to complete 
my last few 
projects in peace. 


Book 21, Part 6,

The last year has 
been hectic to say 
the least. Jenson 
Novelle is missing. 
His 
great-grandmother-in
-law, the matron 
of House Novelle, 
dead. Aisleigh, 
frantic. And their 
son, also missing. 
'Twas a strange 
turn of events 
indeed, when the 
Lord's Men had to 
invade House 
Novelle, and 
physically remove 
the hysteric 
woman whose baby 
I had delivered 
what seemed to be 
so long ago. The 
whole city was 
searched, top and 
bottom, but neither 
of the two Novelle 
males have been 
found. 

Apparently, 
Jenson crept out of 
bed one night, and 
went to the room of 
his wife's 
great-grandmother, 
and the Matron 
mother of his 
House. There he 
proceeded to 
massacre the old 
woman.
