==Journal Entry 298==

Had lunch with Avery today.  She looks tired and she's a little afraid of what she's doing.  What she's becoming.  And there's still so much to do.  All of this work is only going to effect this particular branch.  She did check the church archives for anything pertaining to cannons and found something of interest.  It's a 300 year old entry about reassigning new clerics in training to maintain the city cannon.  We haven't seen any sign of any cannon in the city.  The only place it would make sense to have one would be on the outer wall.  Jason and Marcus are going to go check it out while I pay a visit to the University.  First thing was first, the artificer.  He managed to fix the Kindle.  It looks like new but has a metallic sheen to it.  How the hell?  The mp3 player on the other hand, somehow it went wrong and it's become a small 6 inch tall golem of some sort that's escaped and was last heard blasting Madonna down the halls before it escaped into the city.  That one broke my brain for a while.  And what was Mike doing with Madonna on his mp3 player?  I managed to make it to summoning on schedule however.  They had me get behind a wall and then summoned up a succubus.  It turned on the charm right away.  They had me come out and she started laughing and turned up the charm even more.  I asked her what she knew of Terrans and why the devils seize up when we're around.  So she told a tale, some of it real, some of it not.  The real parts.. Well apparently 1500 years ago, demons and devils could come and go as they pleased.  One of the first groups of Terrans arrived and to make a long story short, one of them was a lawyer of some kind and put the devils and demons into some kind of binding arbitration, effectively banning them from warring against each other on this plane and keeping them from being able to manifest on their own here.  She also seemed to suggest that he went on to become a top ranking devil lord.  From that point on, the devils were ordered never to make a deal with a Terran under any circumstance.  Demons have no such order and have made attempts at collecting Terran travelers for their own uses against devils with little success.  Well, that answers some questions I guess.
