Zen's Journey (formally known as bob)

[Zen]

well I was asleep and this dragon grabbed me today.  I found there is work here but that dumb dragon grabbed only me no weapon or any of my armor even my boots and gloves are gone! I found the store and got a poor sword and a sheild, man I had better. I met a few people and was told by a Dwarf not to carry my weapon in town. I also got a rat skin for a man in the craft hall, deliverd a letter and got anouther to take to a farmer on Reala or something like that. I got some more jobs but dont know how I'll be doing them as I am almost as weak as before my Pranzis guard training. I still have my strengh but am still getting hurt to easy. When I was talking to that Dwarf there was a lady that asked about my skin color, threatened me, dissapeared and scared me, said she was harmless but, thats what the Sargent used to say before he pounded me for fun. I am getting yucky goblin ears for a Guard. *curses under breath* Gaurds are bad here too I guess. I have been telling everyone that I meet that my name is "bob". I just don't trust anyone yet. And haven't met any that have said they follow Az'atta. This worries me. I am learning to use the stuff I bought and the leather that dragon left me with. I wonder how much he or it got for all my stuff?

Wow after running around by myself for a few days and that was very hard. I met a Dwarf Named Lorki He has helped me with kindness and trust where I did not give him a reason to trust me. Lorki and Brisbane took me out adventuring, tought me the proper way to act in a "party", and helped me finish some jobs.

Then Lorki convinced me to use my true name after I told him it was Zen during the adventure. I explained that I was tourchered by the Sargent of the Gaurd in Pranzis. Because of my dark skin color how I was the puncing bag of the Sargent and those he liked. This made Lorki VERY mad I don't think he was faking, not the way his blood boiled (seeing his vains bump up reminded me of Sarge) but he said he wished he could find Sarg. and give him a beating. so now I only use Zen.

I have met Daren and Jil his wife. Daren is a preist of Az'atta and after much convincing I just call him Daren now. I told him how I have taken Az'atta into my heart and Daren told me how to act, what Az'atta expects from Her followers even just the fighters like me. He even told me of a few followers of Az'atta. He sold me a Bastard-Sword of iron and after providine him with all the things needed to make a suit of Full Plate Copper plus a few extras (2 smith hammers, 3 patterns for full plate, and Copper 16 ore and 3 bars) he made me my first suit of full plate. I messed it up with the wrong colors at first before Daren told me to use Blue and Silver as respect to Az'atta. I asked if I a non preist could put Az'atta's crest on my sheild and he said it was ok.
