(OOC: Just a reminder, this is not meant to have comments posted on it, it is just a place to post information for PCs to have access to. Please do not add to it.)
(OOC: Any parts that are typed are just the text version of what the picture says. The scan surface area wasn't big enough to catch all the edges, so I wanted to make sure all the information was correct. Sorry for the blurriness in some pics. This is a work in progress so I will keep posting as I have time.)

PAGE ONEI find it a bit ironic that this shabby journal is the last tome that I shall write in. My life was dedicated toward protecting the world from dark artifacts. Now I shall die next to them. To my brothers, for I know it is you that shall find my body, know that I harbor no ill will towards any of you and that I do not blame my fate on thee. In time I shall be blessed to rejoin my wife and child in the world above. As in life, so i death, Sir Lazaruz Vercrux Master Alchemist of the First Brotherhood

PAGE THREEThough light is scarce and my hand shakes with exhaustion, I will do what I an to make my final moments worth while. The Oubliette, as we have named it, is vast. It is both vast and confined, simple and complex. Due to its paradoxical nature, it is a place most likely crafted by the fae. If I am correct, then there must be secrets to be learned, and perhaps one of them will hold my salvation. I keep seeing strange symbols. They appear to be variations on an hourglass, or something shaped similar.

PAGE FOURAnother symbol. The first time the triangles are shown to be parted. The three drawings seemed to be in a sort of sequence. They are obviously linked, but in what way? Why didn't we see any of the symbols in our earlier visits here? The Oubliette seems to be constantly shifting, but in ways you can only feel, but never see. I must be going mad from hunger, but I am seeing things. Shadows move, and I see old friends and the faces of my enemies just as the life leaves their eyes. Whatever you do. Do NOT linger here.

PAGE FIVEIs someone playing with me?? In a delirious state I wandered, taking me deeper into the maze than we've ever been, and there I saw a hallucination of a banquette of food. I sat and ate a gluttonous feast only to discover that it was real. My hallucination was not an illusion but true. It sated my hunger, only to prolong my fate. Whatever creature rules this place, it wishes me to live...for now. "Shadows, sticks, and faery tricks Shadows, sticks, and faery tricks Shadows, sticks, and faery tricks"

PAGE SIXI am surrounded by evil, but I am safe. My senses are invaded, yet I will prevail. I will not fear, I will not flee, I will not be forsaken. I will not fail. I now question the wisdom of using the Oubliette as a vault. Though it is true that few can possess the knowledge needed to get here, let alone know of its existance, and be strong enough of will to survive, placing so many items of evil into what I now believe to be a living maze was (blood stain) My guess is that the...(blood stain)...feeds of of its environment. Perhaps it was...(blood stain)...sidhe and while it was used as...(blood stain)...is but a theory, but...(blood stain)...in this place. Food now comes when...(blood stain)...hunger. Enemies flee when I...(blood stain). I am becoming a master of this place.

PAGE EIGHTI see no reason to leave the Oubliette. I can come and go as I wish, and the shadowy imps that lurk its passageways scurry in fear as I approach. To survive, I have taken up some of the old artifacts, but even they have no hold over me. My loyalty shall ever be to the brotherhood, and in this way I can serve my order better. I will continue in my sworn duty. There is something to this symbol...it is simple but complex, beautiful yet crude. The Oubliette is of the Twain. It must be. I can not fathom the passage of time, for time passes differently here. Parts of my memory fade now. I remember much, such as my brotherhood, my wife, my child, and the many key moments that shaped my life. It is the subtle flavor that I have forgotten. I see a rose trampled on a field. A sword piercing a mask in the snow. I see spirit awakening and kings returning to life once more. I even see my own death.

PAGE NINESpirals within spirals, lines in lines, circles in circles. How many years has it been? Too many. I can't remember what an apple tastes like, isn't that strange to hear write read? The food that I eat seems both real and illusion. How can an illusion sustain you? How can real food have no taste? I've begun my experiments again. Any common substance the oubliette provides for me. It is what is rare or obscure that seems beyond its magic. Where to begin... (notes) As this will be to manipulate the blood and body, perhaps a sanguine-choleric solution. This...(blood stain)...sanguine a great deal of heat.

PAGE ELEVENI wish I had more blood. I may not have enough to duplicate more than once, so my calculations must be perfect. Worst case, this may be my last entry (however rarely I may write). If so, this has been a strange couple years. -Enhancing wood element 3 drops -water for control. Too much will signal destruction. 1 spoonfulNo more than 1 spoonful -Maximum results, no metal -wood spoon -glass vials -Will need to prepare host's blood. Diet? Must be a better way. -Blood sample will need to be heated just prior to ingesting. -Need exact wood type. -Blood will turn acidic when heat is added. -Will need to find the appropriate base to be able to ingest the potion without its acidic properties eating through the stomach. I've refined my list -The demon blood is the base -It must be heated to just the state change point between liquid and boiling (define further) -A wood component must be ground up and added. (define further) -A gem will be needed as base, ground. (define further) -3 drops to 1 spoon of liquid - water (define further) -Diet of recipient must change
