[INDENT]I went in way over my head today. I got wind of a Treasure map and I started asking around for some infomation. I ended up playing dice for over half the night to get a lead. Just when I thought I had lucked out on my way out of the Inn I received a Note with directions of where and who to meet the following day to get the Map. I ended up sleeping in a horse shelter by the Docks that night because some suspicious people started hanging around the Scamp's Mug and the gates out of the City.
When I woke up I went about the merchant shops to get supplies for the Hunt, then on my way to the Inn I discovered the note was missing. I searched around for it I could only think of one place I went into my pouch and that was when I stopped to get some water at the Fountain. I remembered seeing that Guy Sall he was all cloak and dagger hiding his face because he had some issues with a wizard of sorts and turned him into a Goblin I guess. I don't have the whole story but it seems enough people are making a fuss over it. I ended up going back to the fountain to see if I had dropped it. When I arrived he was still there but with a few other people I did not recognize.
I had been in a hurry and very distracted lately because of the strange people showing up as if watching me. So I had changed and hid my face as best I could while looking for the Note. After awhile someone took notice of me and asked me what I was looking for I managed to send him off with a casual answer of looking around. My only thought was maybe Sall had picked up the Note, Light! I really don't want to get involved with him; those guys are really pushing him. So I ended up sitting down a bit away keeping an eye on him. I'll just follow him when they depart I mean they can't talk all day. Much to my surprise they had all left together out of the city and so I was forced to follow behind.
We ended up in Fort Wayfare where I followed him into the Inn; I took a seat away from them as they were getting rooms. I'll have to wait it out here and wait for a chance to ask him about the note. As the night went on I overheard them trying to get him into a room Sall was pretty uneasy around them, though he is normally uneasy about everyone. Funny how a little guy can attract so much attention, I seen him eating out of that odd bowl again I wonder why he treasures it so much maybe it was a reminder of when he was not a goblin oh well. Not long after another man came over and sat down next to me said his name was Travie or Travis or something like that he looked in high spirits and was drinking like he found some buried treasure.. Light! I keep thinking about treasures and how I lost the note and that s why I ended up following Sall to this place. Eventually Sall came over saying something about he knew this travie guy and wanted to talk to him so I ended up sitting and drinking with all of them.
After a time I went to the outhouse and on my way in I thought I noticed someone strange hanging around outside the Inn I quickly went back in and sat down having that uneasy feeling that I'm being watched again. I asked the others at the table if they seen anyone strange lately but they shrugged it off or drank ignoring the question. This Travie guy was interested though I ended up telling him about the note and that ever since I got it I've been seeing these suspicious people hanging around Hempstead and now here at Fort Warfare. Much to my surprise Sall claimed he had found a note and he got interested in its purpose about the same time Travie claimed to have found a Map over at the Scamp's Mug I gaped, Light! how did he find it? I must have been scammed. It's not uncommon for a Map seller to make copies and sell ten maps. Looks like another dead end.
I found myself drawn into travie's story about finding the map so we started out the door leaving the Inn to talk without so many ears about. Sall was very interested in this Map and treasure and guessing he wanted to get away from those other two guys trying to get him alone, I suggested that he come along with me and travie to talk about the map. As we left the inn I got a glimps of another suspicious woman and some street thug hanging just outside the door, Bloody hell they ARE following me. We quickly moved away finding a safe spot to talk about the map. Turns out he had already found the treasure was nothing more than some gold and I think a gem and a potion of something. Suddenly everything went dark a spell of darkness took us and I could hear some scuffling nearby it sounded like Sall was being attacked though I soon found myself cracked on the head and overwhelmed by the void of unconsciousness...[/INDENT]
