Dear Father and Mother,

I trust that this letter finds you and mother in good health and spirits. I am in good health and mood. I finally completed the task given to me by the Guard Quartermaster! It started with the help of a quick footed halfling, a spellthrower, and a couple of warriors who befriended by niave self in Hlint. They showed me the way to the goblins lair and even banded with me in defeating the all the goblins to thier fell master, who's head still despoiles a portion of my pack! How far I have come since leaving home. I feel I almost can handle myself now in the immediate surrounds of Hlint at least. I am learning slowly to bind my own wounds when injured and there are no healers available and to maintain discipline in group fighting. I've also taken up the sword and acquired some better armor. I must confess, father, that I feel myself maturing here in the last few weeks more than the years spent carting cloaks from mill to merchant. I hope the work hasn't been overburdensome for you in my absense. I simply felt I must get out on my own for a while and learn a new trade. I am looking forward to more adventure this week after a brief recovery in town.

All my love
Your son,
Daniel.

//I feel bad because when I wrote this I couldn't remember any of the other players names. I thank you now. This is the point while in Layo most players either know where to go or get befriended and help. Luckily I got the latter. Out of Layo, I start reading the forums and lore trying to find my place and a good role to play. There's a wealth of information here to be had if you can find the time to read it. It doesn't help with quests; however, much to my dismay. I was forced to be a pain and ask many other players where to go, what to do, etc. Berriford loans me a suit of 1/2 plate copper and asks that I pay him back when I can. It takes me two weeks real time, but I do catch up to him eventually and pay him back. It makes me laugh to remember how surprised he was that I would remember.
