"I am Two Days Removed from Falgarholm"1
I am two days removed from Falgarholm. The mountains have shrunk to foothills, tomorrow I'll descend into the northern plains. I never liked them, I should have brought more brew.1

These journal entries account for the time before and after Burgen's cobalt expedition detailed here.
"Crossed the Plains Today..."
Crossed the plains today... I hate the plains. More plains tomorrow and then I must cross the Weatherfall River. I hate rivers. More plains after that, then maybe some hills. This better be worth it, I hate hills. I need a drink.2
"Halflings, I Hate Halflings"1
Halflings, I hate Halflings. Their swill tastes like mud and they are far too happy about... everything. I am almost to the Cleft. This better be worth it. If one more Halfling asks me how the weather is up here, I am going to burn down the entire village. I need a drink.3

Go here for a halfling's perspective.
:They Are Like Little Children..."
They are like little children who have eaten too much candy. Apparently, a big ant scared one of their farmers not too long ago. I squashed three on my way here. They're ants. Thank the gods I only have to spend a night here... hopefully I will be able to find something to drink.4

"I am Finally Going Home"
I am finally going home. I do not care if it rains so hard I sink into the very earth, I am not stopping in Rindol Field. If I so much as see a halfling, or a dwarf, or a kobold, or anyone else who is too small for their own good, there will be trouble.5

"I'm Almost Home"
I'm almost home. It hasn't stopped raining since I left the blasted caves. I hate rain. I have had ample time to examine my cobalt though. I'm sure it was luck, but those two dwarves actually managed not to ruin it. This trip may have been worth it. Of course, I'm never leaving my mountains again.6
