Well, after our normal bit of saving the world, we arrived back at Winterfell, where I was really hoping for some sage guidance from Duvan regarding my quandry about Nebin and Hio’s behavior and how I am best to control them. Of course, while I am having my heart-to-heart with Duvan, Hio and Nebin are breaking into Valthrun’s tower to open some sort of box he has hidden from the rest of the party. Once I manage to talk Valthrun down a bit (which of course upset Hio), I finished my talk with Duvan, and he told me that I needed to stop looking to external sources for my direction. In other words, I should live a directionless, lawless life just like the rest of the party. Not sure whether this is a freeing moment or a time of deep inner turmoil about what to do next. I suppose I will stick with my half-brother for now, but really, I am not sure what role I have as an intermediary in the group any more. Stopping Valthrun from magic missile-ing Hio and Nebin is probably still a good thing.

On the positive side, I am learning to focus this inner chaos into my fighting and even my armour, and I am released from my obligation of being the moral center of the group just in time to go visit some drow…
