Finally, at the White Wyvern Inn!
I am happy to be here but I need a bed desperately. Dorian makes all the arrangements and I head up to find a bed. My body aches all over. I fall asleep before my head hits the pillows.
Horatio wakes me as he is getting dressed. Its about 4:00 in the afternoon now. Horatio is headed out for a tour of Hobbly. The only touring I am doing today is to go see the local healer and then back to bed.
The next day I wake up and feel great!! My body feels like new and I am off to see the town I have so been longer to return to. My first stop is to visit Elissa a fellow Elf. She seems please to see me and I tell her about all of our adventures. I leave out the part about sprouting wings. I dont want everyone to know I was once touched by chaos. But then who isnt in todays world. Chaos is everywhere. After a few hours, I excuse myself.
Next stop is the Arena. I need to check things out. See how room I have to fight. With pie week coming up next week, I want to enter the fighting championships. So I need to make myself familiar with my surrounds for battle. I teach Horatio a few moves and then we leave.
Back at the Inn, Lord Dorain is in the common room. He looks ridiculous in his make-up and false character of the Great Lord Dorain. But then I guess he wants to look like an idiot. He is definitely getting lots of eye rolls and snickers from me and the rest of the towns folk.
I do manage to get started on my secret mission as well.
All I can think about is pie. And fighting.

August 11th
We finally returned to Hobbly! The last day and a half have been very exhausting.
On day 2 of our trip to Hobbly, we came across a young lad screaming for our help. It seems his sister was unconcious and could not be awaken. So Dorian and I chase the boy into the woods till we came upon a stone wall with a doorway leading to a courtyard beyond. We continue to follow the boy into the courtyard and thru another doorway leading into a building. We take the first door at the left which appears to be an old reception type room. This building is in ruins with plants growing on the walls. There is no furniture and rocks scattered across the floor. There is a body of a young girl in decay on the floor. Across the room is another doorway that is dark. The boy begins to cry out for his sister to wake up. Just as he does this we hear a stirring from the dark doorway. A large 10 foot chaos troll with 4 arms comes out of the door way. I am frozen in shock! The troll pushes off the wall and goes thru the boy to land right beside me. The boy is a ghost!! The troll takes no time in attacking me, hitting me twice. I finally come out of my shock and manage to do some damage back first hitting him in the head and then the right arm. However this does not slow him one bit and he reaches back and punches me right in the gut sending me backwards and to the floor. I down for a few minutes. Once I get back to my feet, I manage to swing at him again. Of course he swings back and I dodge two blows. OUCH!! He hits me in the arm and I see darkness. I awaken a while later outside the building back in the courtyard. Everyone is here now. And attacking. The troll is still going strong with minors scrapes and scratches. Dorian is looking nearly as bad as me and Francias is soon to be hurting. I yell for everyone to fall back. I don't like it but it seems the only logical thing to do. The troll is not going to stop till he kills us all. I think its better to regroup, heal up and come back with a plan of attack to take this troll down. Danica, Frendi and I all begin to back away from the fighting. We are heading back to the cart and the troll follows us to the outer door way. Dorian sees this and begins shotting him again with his arrow. He and Francias hang back for a bit while the rest of the party takes off for the cart. After a bit Dorian returns dragging Francias behind him. The troll is still alive and we all vow to come back for him. Frendi and Dorian get into a heated debate on wether to return to Altdorf. But we finally decide to travel onward to Hobbly. Using some of the skills Danica taught me I manage to heal myself and Francais enough to travel.
We travel for about 2 hours more and see a cart up ahead in the road. It looks to be three humans driving and 2 elves in chains in a the cart. I yell to Dorian and tell him of what I have seen. I send him invisible to see what is going on. We follow behind at a slower pace and after a half hour goes by there is still no word from Dorian, so yell to everyone to pick up the pace. We arrive to a see a dead horse, an empty cart and a 2 dead bodies, one human and one elven. Dorian tells us he managed to stop the cart killing one horse and human to free the elves. Then the elves who are Dark Elves attack him and he manages to kill one and the rest flee. At first, Dorain wants to bring the heads of the 2 men he has killed to Hobbly to let everyone know what has happened. I talk him out of this saying we might want to keep low if they are searching for him like we think.
So again we begin to travel towards Hobbly. Not far into our travels, a group of elves come out of the woods and surround the cart. They are the Riverleaf Band and begin to question everyone. The say they are looking for outlaws and Dark Elves. Dorain tells them about the battle we have just left. They say he did the right thing. After questioning all the humans and halfling we are set free again. We travel all night and hit Hobbly around 5am.

August 4th
Hello! And welcome to my adventures.
I have been traveling with a group of fellow adventurers. Let me tell you about them to get things started.
First, there is Dorian. He is also an elf who can fight and is quite good with the bow. He is rather mysterious and is always surprising us with bits and peices of his past. He seems to have several personalities, the one with us and the one he fakes with everyone else. One thing for sure is that he really likes the finer things in life. And don't let him go more than a day with out a hot bath or he gets cranky.
Next is Donica. She is a human and a healer. She is not much a fighter but can defend herself. Somehow during our travels to the chaos lands she seems to have picked up some kind of curse. When she heals she ages. I am hoping when she returns to her university they may be able to cure her of this ailment.
Then we have Francias. He is a gameskeeper. He is not good with a sword but great with ranged weapons. He seems rather quiet and quite consumed with his hunt for unique animals.
And then we have our newest member, Frendi. He is weak as well with hand to hand combat but can use his net and ranged weapons. I am not sure what to think of him yet. He seems to talk in circles and is rather vague when asked questions. He is carrying some mysterious sack to Hobbly and has a man following him.
We have just reached Altdorf after traveling with a moving circus troupe. We say our goodbyes and get a suite at a local inn. The food is good and we decide to stay in Altdorf for a few days. We all have some shopping to do and must take the book to Veit Pogner in the morning. The night goes by peacefully. In the morning, Frendi gets a message from the inn keeper. Apparently, Frendi gave a description of the man following him to the inn keeper. And so the inn keeper reports that 3 men matching the description of "goatee" have checked into the inn during the night. I think the descrpition is rather vague along with most of what Frendi does and says. The stable boy, Horatio has shown some interest in joining our party and so we hire him for the day to show us around town. Our first stop is to Veit's. We deliver the book and he wants to hear all about our travels. So Dorian begins to tell him while Andreas writes the whole thing down. This goes on for several hours until we finally have to stop. Veit wants to hear more so we invite him back to the inn for dinner and will continue our long story then. Next, we go to the taylor named Jack Lefur. Frendi and Dorian both make some purchases. I look over the fabulous assortment of fabrics but decide to save my money for more useful things. Then we hit the armory!! Now, this is my kinda shopping. I trade in my mail sleeves and shirt to purchase a full coat of mail along with a fancy full helm. The last few weeks of adventuring finally pays off. Our next stop is at the Alchemists shop where Frendi and Francais purchase some poisons. Dorian needs to go the perfume shop next so we stop there as well. Finally, we arrive back at the inn and meet up with Veit and Andreas. We have dinner sent to our room, finish our story and go to bed. In the morning, we head to the library. While Francais and Donica study in the library, I get Horatio to use the new sword I purchased for him. He seems a bit awkward at first but I have determination that he will get better especially since we have agreed that he can join us. It is my new goal to teach him everything I know with the sword which is a lot. We need someone who can fight and not just stand back and shoot with a bow. That same day Frendi gets a note from his follower. It says he can buy his life by leaving behind the sack. Later that night we come up with a plan to try and catch this goatee man. In the morning, when we leave we will place a fake sack on the desk and Dorian will stay behind to follow him. Our plan works but Dorian loses him. We head out of town towards Hobbly. On the first night we are awaken by Francias who thinks he sees the goatee man in the trees. We set up 2 men per watch and go back to sleep. The rest of the night goes by with out event.
