[...] You can imagine my surprise, my dear Claire, when I did as you suggested and exited Darkonese borders! I recalled instantly all of my life!
[...]
I resolved to go to Port-au-Lucine as soon as I could, so to see my true country. There, after meeting again my family (who invited me once more to marry, since a girl in its prime should not... You know how it goes, don't you?) and discovering that the pogroms against we "halflings" had intensified, I was summoned by our old friend Germaine, of the gendarmerie. He asked me to descend in the sewers (as I did before meeting you and our other friends): it seemed that a new resurgence of giant centipede was menacing the halfling community.
As fast as I could, I gathered a small crew. We descended in the sewers and found some dead rats. It seemed to me that they died of starvation: they simply were completely paralized!
After a few hours of exploration, we found out the culprit: in a great chamber there was a mass of whriting centipedes... But I noticed something my companion didn't: they were alredy dead, as some were cut in half, others were lacking legs and head! I could even see the floor of the sewers trought them. It was the ghost of the centipedes I killed more than three years ago!
We moved away as soon as we could, since I didn't want to risk the life of my men.
My, dear friend, I'm afraid we will need your help...
