The paper within, a yellowish color from age, contain various stories from his Druidic Pilgrimage, on many of them there are drawings of plants and small star patterns in both the margins of the pages and full pages. In the noted section, information learned over their travels about various creatures, plants, and people he met on the Pilgrimage, this except focuses on the Vermin Worm, with some notes clearly added later than others.* Vermin Worms, also known as Spike Grubs (Skyloy) * Awful and disgusting, likes to attach themselves to people and drain their fluids. Somehow, the \"people\" tend to be me. * Appear to be single minded, wanting to feed above all else * They can burrow, or at least I assume they can based on the encounter with them at the warehouse on the 3rd of Mitu 3321 * They can also swim based on the encounter with them in the ruins in the swamps on the 14th of Mitu 3321 They also appear to be susceptible to changes caused their environment. Such as the time we encountered them with the Sahabi hunters Chuka and Belan in the swamps after tracking a group of possible survivors of diseased ravaged Beruha to a camp on the 19th of Mitu (They were gone, based on the lack of footprints, assumedly they used magic of some sort.) These Worms appeared to have changed while near what appeared to be a concentrated pocket of the Weave (Magic cast there seemed to be amplified). These worms also had a few other differences to their normal counterparts: * Some seem to be attracted to those that use magic (inconclusive, while three did target me nearly exclusively, none went after Xedran) * Appeared to have the ability to absorb a spell when cast near them All in all, I do not like these creatures, and would not like to encounter them. I'm going to end up with scars in the shape of their mouths one of these days. Side note, Kit and the Sahabi seem to be really good at killing these things, maybe it's due to their large and sharp teeth."
