Title: Medical Journals, Volume 2

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.
