==Journal Entry 289==

So someone read my journal last night.  We were supposed to be flying out of here but Avery seems to think that I'm making mental contact with Amanda's ghost, which means she didn't pass properly.  Avery ran off to borrow some books from one of the local churches while I sat around the graveyard trying to make contact.  I definitely felt something out here.  So Avery returns with her books and we pore over them trying to figure out what can be done.  We found a ritual that would let her manifest.  Avery's jittery about the whole thing, dealing with the undead like this, but it's something she has to do.  Mike says it looks similar enough to one of his infernal rituals that he can help and does so.  So we perform the ritual.  At first there was something like a white smoke drifting around and then it became more defined.  It took on her form.  It was Amanda, white and translucent.  She's been here the whole time.  Luckily she hasn't gone insane.  She couldn't talk, but I could feel from her.  So we told her of our adventures, Alex going to Aeyllin, Avery joining us in the Orc campaign, our rescue of Austin, Max and Ian, Marcus and his wife and son and our campaign against the barbarians.  She was glad that we were all safe and making a life for ourselves.  Then, it felt like a burden was lifted from her and she faded away.  She waved goodbye.  Avery seems to think that she was worried about us and that was keeping her bound here.  I hope she's getting the rest she deserves now in whatever afterlife she ended up in.
