Imps. It is known throughout the multi-verse that they can not be trusted. Yet my companions tried to bribe a pair that was guarding the other side of the portal to hell. I was surprised that it was Valkor who tried to bribe them. I would have expected this from Edmund but for someone learned in the Art to try, troubles me. I guess this just yet again proves that they would be lost without me, their Captain.

Although I must admit I've felt I've been negligent in my leadership in our latest endeavor. On our first venture through the portal we were ill prepared for the devils that awaited us. This could not have been made more clear than when two chain devils tried to ambush us. If I had not taken the initiative and attacked the devils when I did, we surely would have perished. After seeing how poorly equipped we were I suggested that we ventured back through the portal to better equip ourselves. It was clear that Mota was the only city where we could find the weapons and supplies we needed. Edmund was reluctant to go there for some reason. Normally I would have pried further into the matter, for secrets should not be kept from one's Captain, but that mystery will have to wait for later since saving our plane is a more pressing matter. He finally agreed to go since Mervil would teleport us there.

We decided to camp the night by the portal to make sure no devils came through. I can't recall why I thought this was a good plan, but I should have known better. Of course, two devils came through the portal while we were sleeping. They managed to enthrall both Valkor and Miranda. We were able to break the enchantment on Valkor but could not help Miranda. Seeing that we could do little against the devils, Mervil teleported us to Mota, leaving Miranda to fend for herself. It is unlikely that she survived. After we save this plane I will find out if she has truly perished.

After resupplying we made our way back through the portal. This is when I had to make the call to dispatch the imps before they could inform what ever devil that had enslaved them that we had come through the portal. Unfortunately imps do not make for good trophies. What a waste of my spells...
