Tower of the Mind.

the Fireplace,

.. at Dancing Mermaid, an Inn.


Dear Journal,

i've visited the 'Tower of my Mind', using my imagination as an exercise.

i've closed my eyes, letting the brain-waves work at a slower pace.

i've visualized the tower of infinite height, the tower that represented my Mind & it's aspirations ... with the unreachable top gone in the clouds.

i've visualized myself entering the tower, seeing various doors leading to the
Mind - Constructs that appear there,

there was a door labelled: 'love',

another with a labels: 'food', 'refuge', 'security',

there were two magical transport shafts with a labels: 'only downwards' & 'only upwards',

... i've levitated down to basement via one of the magical transport shafts ... but didn't leave the vertical tunnel,

instead, i've peeked outside, looking at a certain angle,

... dark corridor was dimly lit & i've felt that there are dangers & doors labelled 'avarice', 'violence', 'hatred', 'exclusive pride' ... as well as other similar 'lower ego' doors.

... i've cast a cantrip spells to lock the doors & quickly went to the other shaft, levitating upwards, promising myself to never go that route ... as much as i can.

upper floors were locked, it's labels hazy, not entirely formed ... but i've glimpsed at doors with 'dreams' written on, as well as at doors with 'intuition' label.

i've promised myself to unlock the higher aspiration doors, as fast as i can, then to explore these.

then i've went outside of the tower & looked at it's top again ... my short journey was over, i was longing to visit the tower in near future again.

Knocking at the Doors (Frances' Tale).

Brief.


found adventure today again, we survived with one casaulty.

... this started when we met farmers at Peltarch's Commons, complaining about their livehood ... with cattle being quite stolen.

we went to a place where they keep the cows, Marthousca Leaffall used her druid powers.

she talked with animals to learn, that Orcs are responsible, they come at night to steal.

we did follow tracks south, fought orcs, exchanged boasts, killed scouts ... entered cave.

we found doors a very well closed, that i opened with three of a fireball's blasts ... thankfully cave did not collapse.

with doors widely open, we did proceed, we found few traps.

more of combat ensued ... in a corridor i almost fell, then one of us was hit, she fell down with a Hammerer's hit.

we did proceed onward ... fought our way to end of the cave.

cows were found there, guarded by a strong orcs.

we killed Guardian & a Witch, letting the cattle free.

i checked a chest carelessly, found no traps as of yet.

with a knock scroll's aid Marty did open, ... i carried the spoils for a while.

we did return to Peltarch, to Temple, after guardly questioning.

in Temple our friend was brought back,

by the Priestess of Mystra,

for a Small Diamond, component,

i owe Marty some gold, for Diamonds cost & a lot.

we split the spoils, then left.

we got three Potions, our friend picked Gauntlets.

She is an Artist, of Martial Arts kind.

i let Marty to care for Cattle, for peasants as well.
