13th May, 1632
See how the darkness is banished by the light! The heretic Patel has confessed, admitting that she consorts with demons and devils, begging them to bring misfortune upon others. As the Bible says, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live "(Exodus 22:17), and as such she shall be burnt at the stake.
11pm: Damnation! The foul taint must have spread, or else she has the entire village under her thrall! As we were preparing to burn the heretic in cleansing flame, most of the village arrived. I engaged in a heated debate with the local blacksmith - he, and the other villagers, claimed that Patel was innocent. Questioning the judgement of a witch hunter! I refused to release her, showing the evidence, but they were not convinced. The argument escalated, and some of the villagers drew daggers and axes. Refusing to relent, I set alight the pyre anyway. Seeing their demonic mother dying, the mob attacked us! I confess that I was shocked by this at first, having been blind to their true allegiance. We fought back, killing five of them, but the numbers were in their favour, forcing us to flee from the village. However, they have killed not only two of the zealots accompanying me, but also one of my knights, Percival Hopkins, and Father Blane! It is a brazen heretic indeed who dares to attack a witch hunter, let alone murder two of his retinue! Hopkins was ordained by the Archbishop of Canterbury to accompany me on this most holy mission, and Father Blane was a man of the Church! By God, how can the darkness be so bold as to murder a man of the cloth? This will not stand, these devil-worshippers will pay for this! We are headed back towards Annurferin, where I will speak with the local Lord, and pertain his assistance.
The late & lamented Father Blane
