Wild Surge Inn / Orc Raiders in the Sielwood

« on: November 01, 2005, 01:50:00 pm »

On a clean piece of parchment written in flowing script in common is the following announcement:

While Traveling in the Sielwood bordering the Goblin Wastelands, I encountered three small bands of orcs with a shaman.  I want to warn any who are in the area of this threat.  Please be on your guard.

On another side note I went to Lar today and there was carnage in the town.  Bodies were piled everywhere.  We were unable to locate the source of the attack but the tracks left behind were of shod boots. Many died and there was no one left behind that saw what happened to give an accounting of the melee.  

Any further questions on theses matters, you may contact me. - Jilseponie Wyndon.

Trade and Market Hall / House Wanted - Getting Married

« on: September 28, 2005, 07:44:00 pm »

*Large Parchment Notice Posted on the Wall* House Wanted - Getting Married  Yes, my fiance Daren has too much stuff (Its a man thing I guess) And he's not too big on sleeping in the outdoors (No privacy there and he mutters something about termites in his Barkskin?) Just looking for something small and not too expensive.  Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.  Just ask for me, Jil.  I'm usually running around the Hlint area in the later part of the day, early evenings. Thank you all.  (When things are in order an official notice of marriage and details will be posted!)

Development Journals and Discussion / Jil's Journal

Dear Journal,

   I know I have not written here in some time since arriving in Hlint, but things seem to be a bit fast paced and yet . . . quiet.  This new land I have arrived on is so much different from, well, back home.  Home.  A person can have many, yet none.  I hope that this new place will provide what I need or should I say, looking for.

   Upon my arrival races of all types were so willing to help me in any way possible.  They were polite, kind, giving, not like, well, before.  What skills I brought with me, rangering, roguish abilities,  and a bit of wizardry are somewhat useful, but this place, this land, there is an honesty to it.  It is something I could definitely get used to.  But the roguish part of me is from another time and definitely not for this place.  But at first I felt so out of place and yet I still do at times.  When I walk with others, I walk behind, letting them talk, work, and barter with others.  I do not really have any skills to offer them.  I am still weak from my previous ordeals and lonely.

   When I travel with others to help those in dire need against the many forms of evil that pervade the land, I find myself at the rear of the battle.  How it hurts to hide behind these noble fighters only to hurl arrows at the beasts, and see how little that helps!  I ache to be my former self, but I lack the strength and constitution to hold my own in battle.  Gods but I feel so helpless!  If there could be another way . . .

   One young paladin offered his help on many an occasion.  Kharl, I believe is a follower of Toran?  I am still not familiar with their gods here.  But as time went on, he had others to help and he grew distant from me, rarely speaking unless in someone else
