The pages appear to be torn from someone's diary:

The first day in the month of Vecna's Terror

 A new mage is joining us today, Varanexus. My wife seems to think very highly of him. She claims that he has some ideas that will greatly benefit us. Of course, I am willing to give him a chance, as I would for anyone.

The third day in the month of Vecna's Terror

 Varanexus has taken up residence in the underground level. I offered him a more comfortable room, but he insisted that he needed his privacy. Furthermore, he has modified some of the empty rooms to serve as a laboratory for his work. He certainly is an intriguing man; I will be anxious to see the results of his work.

The seventh day in the month of Vecna's Terror

 Varanexus has been keeping to himself. He is very evasive if I ask about the progress of his work. I am growing a bit suspicious of him, but my wife insists that we must let him work in peace. I am very grateful for her advice. I believe if it were not for her, I would have asked Varanexus to leave already, for his spirit does not seem to agree with my own.

The tenth day in the month of Vecna's Terror

 I am shaking with rage as I write this...never would I have believed it... But I know now...shrivel their black souls! That mage... he and my wife...they are in league, against me! I know not what wickedness they plan for me, but I must be careful... I am a simple man; a man of steel...I fear that I will be helpless against the dark magics this Varanexus is working ... I must not alarm my men until I have a plan of action...but I fear that time is growing short for me...I must find out who is loyal to me and prepare for the inevitable betrayal...
