Journal Pages
=============

Bestiary
--------
Ankheg
"Beware of the creature known as an ankheg, it can spit a stream of highly
corrosive acid at its victim."

Beast, Undead
"The spells of fire that I cast do not seem very effective against the undead
beasts that roam these halls."

Bone creatures
"Those who rely on the keen edge of a blade in battle will inflict little
harm against creatures made of bone."

Carrion Crawler
"If I had not found the protection against paralyzation scroll earlier, the
carrion crawlers would have destroyed me."

Chimera
"Had I known the chimera could breath fire, I would have prepared some sort
of protection against such an attack."

Cockatrice
"I have seen several cockatrice within these halls, but they did not get
close enough to turn me to stone."

Dragon, Blue
"I fear that a dragon could be here. There are signs of great lightning
damage that only a blue's breath weapon could do."

"I think again of the signs marking the presence of a dragon. Most dragons,
as I recall, have some resistance to magic."

Elemental
"I remember early teachings concerning elementals. I do believe they are
invulnerable to all but magical weapons."

Gargoyle
"I would imagine that only weapons of magical nature have the power to hurt
the stone-like monsters known as gargoyles."

Ghoul
"I had little trouble defeating the ghouls, but I hate to think what would
have happened if one had paralyzed me."

Grave Mist
"I encountered an entity known as a grave mist, it appeared unhurt by all
weapons save those of magical nature."

"I managed to best the grave mist, but not before it struck me several times,
weakening my constitution."

"Strange. The grave mist almost seemed to heal itself when struck by my
cold-based spells."

Golem, Flesh
"Flesh golems are not only invulnerable against normal weapons, but they also
appear to be magic resistant."

"These great abominations of flesh, golems as some call them, seem to
rejuvenate when struck by an electrical attack."

Groaning Spirit (Banshee)
"It seems as if the banshee are immune to cold and electrical-based magic."

"If this is so, I would guess that these groaning spirits are also unharmed
by normal weapons."

Hag
"I was not prepared when the lady, or should I say hag, revealed her true
form and set upon me with her claws."

Knight, Death
"It is a well known fact that a death knight cannot be turned. However, this
mattered little to me, for I am a mage."

Lycanthrope, Wererat
"If it were not for my silver dagger, I would have needed an enchanted
weapon to fight the wererats that I encountered."

Medusa, Greater
"I think it is an ioun stone -- a yellow spindle -- that offers some
protection against the medusa's petrifying gaze."

"Beware of an arrow shot from the bow of a great medusa, for they are often
poisoned!"

Mummy
"I am thankful for the fire-based spells at my command. They were most useful
against the mummies that I encountered."

"I have learned that even magical weapons do not seem to inflict much damage
against a mummy."

"Not only are mummies unharmed by cold-based spells, but they are also
immune to poison and paralyzation."

Naga, Spirit
"The bite of a spirit naga is poisonous, so it is wise to keep a few vials of
a cure poison potion at hand."

Ogre Slug
"I imagine the thick rubbery hide of an ogre slug offers the monster added
protection against blunt weapons."

"More than once, the ogre slug I was fighting attempted to hit me with some
sort of corrosive spittle."

"One could only surmise that an ogre slug, which spits acid, would be immune
to similar attacks."

Scaladar
"The vicious scaladar, I have learned, are resistant to cold, acid, and
electrical-based attacks."

"Having done battle with a scaladar myself, I caution fighters against using
bladed weapons against this monster."

Shadow
"An adventurer should have an enchanted blade at hand if he wishes to do
battle with a shadow."
