Dear Mother and Father,

I wert most sorry to hear that old boxer, mine old donkey hast past on in thy latest letter. He wert mine dear friend and companion on many a run from Luck to Haven and back. I hath not the heart to even consider purchasing another animal for the time being. Mine new shield tis a marvel and all that I hath hoped it to be. Its divine light lights the darkness well and mine torch hast long since been cast to the waste barrel. I stay in Hlint these long days, meditating on the Lord Protector. Sole exception being a brief foray to visit Farmer Part with Ifion of Aregen and Praylor the warrior. Farmer Part exceggerates his problem with his scarecrows o're much methinks. Verily, naught a one couldst be found despite his protestations to the contrary. The hours grew long and I wert forced to depart from thier company afore nightfall, but Ifion swore to return later with Praylor. I wilst pray for the successful rid of Farmer Part's problem and if thou mindest not for thou as well. The All Seeing watch o're you.

All my love,
Your son, Daniel.

//reference as to why Daniel doesn't use pack ox's, they just end up dead most times. Ifion, Darren, Praylor, and Daniel set out for Rilara to help Praylor with Farmer Part. We must have caused the trigger to fail as there were no Scarecrows at Farmer parts to help with even though Praylor recieved the quest.
