18th of Ches, 1376, Year of the Bent Blade

The hills turn to grasslands. It's a nice walk when it becomes quiet, and a giant bug erupts out of the land, grabs me and bites. I react by setting it on fire. I think someone else also hit it, killing it. A pretty terrible morning if I do say so myself. As we walk along, we see a cloud of dust, which turns out to be a patrol out of Kelethoen. They challenge us, and we explain that we would like to research at their library - and they do not believe us. We also mention the giant bug, and I guess that makes us good guys and that he approves of our work. Said to say Boris approves our entrance.
