Dear mom,
It seems the Shorestalkers sought revenge sooner than expected for the public execution of their fellow that we captured last month. The night before we were to return to the Seaside Grotto to explore its depths, I was awakened by a poisoned urchin spine sword plunged into my gut, held by a Shorestalker whose skin shifted to match its surroundings. I was unarmed and bleeding badly. As it drew back to finish me, I lunged for my spear and stabbed it twice, I called out for Heliod’s divine power to grant me a respite and empower my strike.
