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.
