    I've managed to find some paper-- this will work as my Journal for now.

::afew random dwarings apear on the side of the sheet of paper-Including a stick figur of Undercity's Rat Man with a sowrd in its back::

   While wondering around town I found a few people that would pay me for work... Sounds good to me.

   The first lady asked me to find a book of taxes.. ya.. I could care less about that.. right up till she mentioned the reward involved. I set off into the sewers and found the thing infested with rats.. it was ... nasty. While going thought he tunnels of the undercity I also found a back way in to the local inn and, what looked to be, a giant chest board.. very neet.

   As I worked my way down, I found many many more rats to deal with. Then stairs down.. after taking the stairs down- and being jumped buy a rat, I foudn that this place was bigger then I thought it would be... ment more dang walking. After killing one rat I decied to skin it.. never know who would like these things.. that and I'd love to make a bag to carry all my carp in..

::once again on a single sheet of paper::

     While attempting to deliever some mail to a place that I had no idea where it was... I was wounded badly. Some how I found my way back to Hlint, To my knowlagde I crawled up to a group of people in the town and then passed out. When I opened my eyes a few moment later as my body was tingling.. I saw a man finishing off casting a healing spell on me. The pain was too great and I passed out once more.  The next time I awoke I was in his arms.. it was conferable so I fell back asleep.. I needed, was out all night trying to find this other town. When I awoke the thrid time, he and most the others were gone.

     I also ran into a half-giant, who I thought was an orger at first.. not that I know the differeance.. but he was quite the gental giant.  Him me and two female mages ran off to find some amulet that a bard lost some how.. it was fun and amazing to see that half-giant rip things up... I've seen him around a few times after that and I know that he is a kind soul...

    I found another Half-giant in town today and a few drow.. its amazing the creatures that are drawn to this town.. what is more amazing is that they are kind and not evil.. Very interesting... make one wonder whats going on with the world.. Makes me think that not everyone is bad because of there skin... but still... ---___----==-=--___--.....,,....

      After my last encounter, with the goblins, I decied to wear armor... This just doesnt work out for me.. it restricts my movment too much.. I can't douge, move, or use some of the moves one of my fathers tought me... I ditched the armor-- Back to cloths!!.. heck.. who needs them either!!

::once again, on a single sheet of paper::

    It feels better to be without armor again.  I can move and dodge things much eaiser.  As a result of this, I've learned a new attack style. It closes many of the holes that I once had and makes me able to hit my target alot eaiser with my short arms..  I've tried to fight with out cloths on as well.. but this just doesnt work.. things get in the way. But, it does destract the goblins and orcs very well...

::after this log there are a few drawings of her stance and where to hold her sword, looks more like a Spanish Fencer's stance then anything else::

[img=http://www.layonaraonline.com/forums/photos/get-photo.asp?photoid=5781]

   This stance works very well.. my legs are only open to attaks from people my size or smaller and I can block the blow with the very bottem of my sword.. for the most part.. think I need a hand gard or something... however, my head is left open if i'm not quick enough.. this poses a problem and I know I can fix this.. just need to try a few ideas I have.. I hope everything works out well with out me seeing the SoulMother...

::on a worn single sheet of paper::

    Today I found a group of people heading to.. I'm not too sure where.. some port town.  It sounded like where I needed to go to deliver this letter that I recved from the post man. I decied to follow them.. This proved a learning expierance.  We faced afew different things on the road that I've never seen before..

    It turns out that where the group was headed was not were I needed to be.. I snuck away from the group to deilver the letter.. I doubt they know I left.. I managed to find the cow hurder that the letter was intened for.. but only after running from some flying thing and a few lions.. it was quite the chase..

::the hand writing in the next entry is very week::

    On my way back.. I was attacked..  by a large cat... I didnt even know till I was bleeding out... so tired.. I need rest..--__----

::one again on a haggered looking single sheet of paper::

    I really have to get a book or something for these...

   Anyway.. I found out where I can get some bat skins from.. their was a man in town that wanted one and willing to pay for it.  Sounds good to me.. Problem was.. I had to find the dang bats.... I've been looking in the forests and beyound, but the areas are getting too dangerus for me.. .. Wait a sec.. bats like caves - right? how about that cave out side of the town.. I'll try there...

   I found some bat pelts! .. they were really fun to get too! had to sneak past a few goblins .. one saw me at somepoint- but not for very long.  His head was disconnected from his neck before he could even shout a warning... was a good swing if you ask me.  That cave as alot of them goblins in it though.. you'd think that the captin would send someone to clear something so close to town.. Anyhow.. the bat gave its skin- once it was dead. And that guy gave me some money for my work... sounds good to me!

   He does want another skin.. man that guy just wants more and more.. as long as his pockets are deep though.. I'll provide him with the skins... wonder if he wants an Elf skin too...

::one a single sheet of paper::

    I found the guy that saved me so many days ago. His name is Zwack. He's a very nice man.. err.. cat... catman guy. .. umm anyhow.   We happened to just kinda walk by each other intown today.  We noticed each other and it was like.. hay, I know you! we talked abit about things, very nice.

    Anyhow, later in the day he came running by, picked me up into his arms and kept running.  It turns out that thier was a group of people going into the mines near a keep. I found out, from the leader of the keep many days ago, that there is a bounty on the head of the Orge King.  I guess they've been causing the keep alot of truble while trying to mine.. either way, I hurd something about money again... sounds GOOD!

    This cave is huge.. and the things in the cave even bigger.. spiders and orgers.. o my.. Either way.. the group of people we are with is greater. they fell before the group like .. things that fall really fast. its was impressive to watch and be a part of.. I learned alot from the group and the fighters.. even lerned a new style of attack by watching a man with two swords.. not that I'd use two blades, but it was interesting to watch him fight and better to try and fight the same way..

    The group split.  They decied that it was too many people to manage father below.. I managed to sneak with the group that went father below.  The one group decied to wait and keep the the way down clear.  We found the Leader of the Orgers and offed his head.  Was quite the fight.

    We linked up with the other half of our group on the way out.  Some problems popped up from here... the tail end of out group got stuck between some orgers.. very very nasty.  Infact, we lost a member.. a form changer of some sorts.. we managed to fight on the run and got our way out of the mines..

    It was a very fun eventful day.. but now I'm sleepy.. .. nap time..
