I sit here writing and suffering terribly, my first encounters with the goblins did not go exactly to plan. I approached the foe, observed him carefully, calculated his strengths and weaknesses and then...he attacked me!!! I told him repeatedly that I hadn't finished my calculations, but he wouldn't listen!! It was awful, I was trying to write down my findings so that I could use them to calculate a grand stratagem which would inevitably lead to the foul creatures defeat...but he wouldn't stop!! He kept hitting me with a long wickedly sharp dagger. In the end I took my weapon and struck him with it...but he wouldn't keep still!!! So I kept missing!!! I decided that a withdrawal was in order but the creature followed me, not once letting up his rude hostilities. So I tried to cast a spell of healing and was almost sucessful, but unfortunately my leather armour, being rather new and stiff, prevented me completing the required gestures that the spell required. I fell to the ground in agonising pain and bleeding from a thousand...yes a thousand wounds!!!! Darkness took me but somehow I awoke back in Hlint. I must practice casting spells in armour, obviously that is my only weakpoint. I recall reading about a sort of warrior who are also adepts in the arcane sciences...now what were they called?...no matter I am tired and must rest.
