Well,heres the journal entry of my character,sigurd.A mentally unstable barbarian.
Journal,day one.
Have set out with some little known acquaintances on a job,to retrieve a chest,we were told.Don't know why i took the job.I don't need the money.The thrill of being back on the road,i suppose.And the job offers were beginning to look scarce.No one wants a man that looks scarier than the ones your hiring him to kill.Regardless,i took the job,along with a few others.I will list them here.
-Argatson-cocky rogue rookie.managed to hit our hasty dwarf instead of the enemy.
-Rilas-another rogue,but less cocky.young.I worry about her,although i don't even know her.reminds me of someone i once knew.
-Rigoth-unusual dwarf.rides a horse around like a human.He seems to understand combat,however.
-Alama-Strange elf.Don't know much about him.Don't really know any of these people,for that matter,but particularly not the elfs.
-limeneth-Same as above.seems to be an intellectual of sorts.
A cloaked man entered the bar we happened to be in,offered us the job,to retrieve a chest of his,contents personal.before that,Argatson was looking for someone.man named thule,i believe.We travelled to a cave believed to contain said chest.along the way,we found many dead goblins.encountered some live ones near the end of the mountain pass we were travelling through.We snuck up and took care of them easy.they weren't the problem.
The goddamn cat was.
we dismissed the cat accompanying the goblins as just that.a cat.It wasn't.Some type of demon-thing,it burned rigoth several times.He'll live.It attempted to flee,and rigoth gave chase.his mount buckled beneath him and he was knocked off.The Demon-cat escaped,for now.
some magical items were found in a small chest the goblins had with them.A tree token that summons,what else,a tree,and a worthless orange bauble,A wand of Cure light wounds,and some gold.
After that,we decided to make camp.I laid out some light torches,but the others complained of cold.we decided to search for fire wood.brought back a whole felled tree.I exlpored the perimeter and found a small pond with which to drink out of.Rigoth the ever unlucky found something bigger.
A mountain walrus.It attacked him,He fought it,it died.We cooked and ate it.Discovered an ant summoning ring inside it's belly,given to alama.Shortly after we made camp.The others are sleeping as i write this.
I'm playing myself off as a dumb brute,for now.Don't want to get attached.Every time i get attached,they die.And then I'm alone again.No,never alone.My ancestors call for me to join them,in my dreams.Soon,hopefully.Soon.
On that note,i need to go back to the watch.Dying to an arrow in the dark would be highly inglorious.
Edit: I like the dwarf style "engraving" you did for a journal,khantin.
er... Lith was the one that hit the dwarf when he missed, not Argatson.
Found a lead on Thule today. Well, possible lead at any rate. Going from what the bartender said, He's expanded his operations a good bit. Looks like he's going to settle down in one of the nearby towns and Set up shop. That means he's letting his guard down. I assume he think I'm dead after the incident in Karakdum. He really ought to know better. One of the other patrons said he knows where Thule is, but he wants a share of whatever we find. On the upside, the Coppers won't find any bodies.
Before we could head out however, we were hired out by a guy who needed something retrieved. Ther'es five others at the moment:
Lithe: Elf ranger, calls me rookie a lot but at least I don't hit teammates. Says he knows where Thule is. Found a map of Thule's hideout apparently. I'm debating trying to steal it when my watch comes up, but he can probably hear me think right now.
Ama: 'nother Elf. Says she isn't a mage, but if it smells like a skunkrat and looks like a skunkrat...
Rigoth: Dwarf, and all that entails. Dunno what gods he offended, but best not to stand to close to him.
Rilas: Pretty lil' thing. Human, former ganger, going by her kit. Don't talk much, but a decent enough shot.
And Sigurd: Big guy, Probably from the far North by the looks of it. Did a hefty number on the goblins we encountered.
Most of the journey was uneventful. came across some dead goblins, decent loot. Except for the cloak made of human skin, probably a child's, but I don't want to dwell on that.
Finally came across a small encampment. I went to scout it out, there were 4 gobbbos and a cat. *long string of highly inappropriate writing about said cat*. Anyways, I took the first shot. Lith wound up hitting one of our own guys, who then got fried by that !!cat!!'s firebreath. yeah, just go with it. anyways, we took down the goblins pretty quickly, cat got away, and we began to loot.
And that was probably THE most fraked up sideways thing I had ever seen. I won't go into the details, but the !!cat!! is apparently half dragon. found some stuff in the chest, but the resident not-mage can't use any of it.
Not much else happened, small argument over whether we should chase the cat is all. in the end, we're camping out near the cave.
