Lariono Lightning's journal

*EY this book contains the story of me life*

Todey started out much like the previous days, me doing a lot of training on tailorin, even making meself two pair of cougar boots. Ah that was indded a proud moment. Gives me inspiration to go on with me tailoring it does.

But, the day turned grim... oh yes...

Untill now Ive been a loyal and faithful servant of Vorax, following him doing good deeds, and eben trying to tell Daggs, that big fella, that Grannoch is bad and Vorax should be hes path....

Anyway, Dariole and a female wizard and me went into Lar becase of some rumors about a Dwarven defender being killed, and the town being burnt down by th Druegars. We got a task from a fatty in there and decided to go back to Hlint to wait fer Trip so he could help us past them giants guardin a fortress outside Valensk. Trip needed Gum Arabic, so I ran with all me speed from the road to fort Llast, past some Dwaven and Halfling Mercs, and throuh Llast into Blackfords castle. I got the gum arabic, and started on me way back when i saw that the mercs had followed in me step and was killing two commoners outside the castle. I joined the battle and the mercs were killed, but so was the two commoners..... Twas all MY fault....

I was almost temted to end my travels and go underground, livin in a cave with me own shame, but that would only be a easy cowardly way.

Thankfully, a true believer and a Dwarven Hero of Vorax appeared and told me that Vorax indeed was very dissapointed in me. He told me to live with me shame, but that Vorax would test me soon so that I could show me strength and again be in Vorax service.

Oh... Vorax, what hav I done. I will pass all tests and stand like a rock to proove meself. Only then can i go on living. I will put even more work into tailoring and savvor every failed attempt at making an item as Vorax righteous punishment fer me.

Temorrow i will start over again....

Me started today by thinkin what to do to proove meself to Vorax. I first ran up to Blackford to talk to te people livin there but they wouldnt talk to me, which is unterstandable thinkin of what ive done. I will go there twicw every forthnihnt to see if I can get them te speak.

I havin ben thinking of what to do to prove I am brave and a man of valor, and not weak of soul. The problem is that my body is not pysically stron enoug to take on stong and worthy foes i battle, so this is what ill do over the next days when i am no tailoring.
   
  Go to them huge treherders which will sureley crus me like a twig, if they get me, and gather all the aloe in there.
  If i can do that without runnin of an givin in to my fears I think it will be a act of bravery, hope Vorax approves

  Go to them cougars, engage all tre in battle and try to get their skins. Then go and battle that flying harpy
  and killit in hand combat, no ranged weppon. It allways try to use magic to mess with my head and meke me scared
  but I will proove that my soul is strong and can withstands such attacs to me body and mind. It may very well be my
  death but I must try to show my strength. Hope Vorax approves of this to.

I also hope I can make more of them cougar boots.I will sell them fer five hunerd gold a pair to new and
inexperienced adventurers like meself. It may aid them in their battles

Ah, finally a fight in which i proved some of my strength.

On me way to them Cougars I ran into quite a gathering, who asked me te join them in teir battle against them deadies in Broken forrest. I fought quite bravely and even healed some of my companions. In the heat of the battle I even shouted the warcry to Vorax. It felt good, and all my recent troubles were forgotten fer a time.

Even sold me first Cougar boots teday. A glorious moment indeed.

I fell today, battling hordes of ants. Never ever have I seen so many of the outside Hampshire. Usually they are only 6 or 7 and a good and daring fight it is indeed, but suddenly they were more like 15 of them bigants. I faught bravely and killed at least 10 of them, but them buggars posioned me and I fell. Thankfully I managed to go to me ston end pray and got back my soul.

Lateron I ran into some mages being killed by them ant outside Hampshire. I killed the nasty ants, but one of them mages fell. Fortunataly i had some healing available so I raised im before his soul left im. That I think was me greatest deed today.

I feel i am walking the right path and I will proove meself befor Vorax. Aye

[rusleBIFFEN]

Ah, i woke up teday and felt a little stronger and wiser. I tried on me new robe and it fits..

Went with Setecce, Rahzon, Path, Trip an Shiva down to kill em bugbears on Bear Island today.That did not go well.. We all fell, except Shiva who just made it oout alive... A huge battle tat was, but with a bad outcome.I will have me revenge when Im stronger.

Otside Hlint I med Gabrielle and Drayid, an told em of me prooving te Vorax. The said I could join em into Haven mines ang batle some Ogres to show me bravery. Great bladedancer that Drayind, and Gabrielle is no frail woman. The both fight very good. I also felled som Ogres and was very pround of that.

Our task fer fatty in Lar was done teday. Rayne and Dariole and meself rann al tha way to Ulgrids Fortress and back to Lar an delivered them blueprints. Good thin Rayne had them invisibility spells so we coud sneak past those Gants... I will battle a giant very soon.. Im soon ready fer that... Aye !

[rusleBIFFEN]

Har !

Woke up teday feeling stronger and faster. Very good feelin this is.

I was gettin some pelts form them wolves outside Leilon as usual when a strange thing happened.
A fellow brither appeared and told me to focus me body an mind, cause i would find Vorax inside me if i searched. I tried to feel me essence ad was doing good excercise when i fell and stumbled. The Brother told me to walk befor trying te run... Which is a strange thing to tell me cause im almost the fastest runner aroun'...Mabbe he mant it in anorther way..

I will trayn on these excersises three times daily until i can matser them. When I am mastering them I should be able to do them in the center of hlint without noticing the other folks there..

To proove Vorax i am no coward I ran Llast an entered combat with two huge Ogre worriors.. No orginaryOgres but big mean and dangerous ones... I fell.. But my soul is again back in me body and me doubts have left me. Vorax is watchin me.
