I offer my most sincere apologizies and regrets for the incident at Battle Fen, the Trolls were overwhelming indeed. I felt intimidated by the level of battle and way too under experienced to be acting as party leader (by default). I feel that I let you all down even after your heroic rescue, I continued to bungle the escape. It cost the life of a great man of faith and I regret that very much.
The fact that you all came back for me, told me much about the warriors I was fighting along side of. Your selfless act of bravery and valor are what the tales of our world are made of. I felt priviledged to be able to fight along side of such great warriors as yourselves.Should we have had a bard along side, the songs of bravery and heroic deeds will fill the land.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve with you all. I will continue to train and grow in strength and strategy and someday hope my sword will stay the sword of one of "your" enemies and my debt shall be paid.
