Takvor's Journal

Seeing the strange creatures in the broken sky where there should have been none was way past the point of where we should have been. I’m not sure I will get those images out of my head any time soon. We rushed to leave though clueless thought he should take some gold and charmer even nudged him to do so. Why does he antagonize him so. I almost got tails’ tail she shot me a look of just keep up with her she was just trying to get us out.

Hurrying back the gates are closed why must they close the gates. If they would just defend properly they would have no issues. At least we was able to get a place to sleep. I think Tails likes me she offered me the first spot to sleep that was very nice of her. Though I have no intention of going back to that forsaken cave I must commune with the world to see what the meaning of all of this means.

Apon receiving the chest at the inn we can use most of this gear though I should find some tools to see if I can repair any of it first. But not here they won’t let us have the weapons here maybe we can head to the dwarves or even to the army where clueless and charmer was stationed at. But til we have a plan to to get these out of the city we will have to be here. Though if no one holds ties maybe we can sell them in the city? I care less for what these guys politics are the people should be able to defend themselves as well.

### Aefgeol 6th: Useless Smitheys

These people are so useless in this town during their holidays. As they sit and enjoy the festivities they have no work being done even as they are fighting in a war. I tried looking for work to better my skill but to no avail. The guards I asked just said the Smith’s would most likely be drunk. Though today wasn’t a complete failure from the weapons cache I was able to find the name of the markings on the armour. The Knight’s of Gaia. Though I have no idea of who they are, there are some that don’t like them. One drunken Smith refused my offer to trade the cloak for some Smith tools he was able to tell me the name of the mark at least. Maybe I should leave this town and go elsewhere for work to improve my skills.

### Aefgeol 8th: Satirist, Resserectionist, and Little Ladies

We have set out a day ago it looks like it I can gather some tools I’ll be able to stick with these guys and work on my skills. Though I’m still curious Khat did you answer my call for the guard we are contracted to heal him? I must spend some time meditating on this. But we must get these people to their destination quickly.

After gathering things and looking around the caravan a small child came running from the woods. She attached herself to the beggar that tried attacking us. It is unfortunate that she had the misfortune of learning the truth of this world, that preying on others may lead you to be the prey as well. Allen has talked to her about riding along with us to town for now that would be best.

Apon coming to town our contract has set up his wagon as a shop of sorts, I decided to ask the little lady if she would like to travel with us. I thought it would be best if I could get her to the dwarves city so she may learn some trades. I could tell Tails was also was very much found of this little lady as she wrapped her tail around her as I was talking to her. Though it appeared that the child was in awe of all the wares of the merchant to give me a response so I left to let her settle down.

As I was looking around town Clueless approached me to tell me that the guard that I healed was spouting about the miracle the K'hat had answered. Curious I approached behind the man to hear what all he was saying. He talked for great lengths about how he was shot, how he saw darkness , then hearing a voice and a hand touching him and his wound disappearing. As he told this story a wild eyed man ran off towards the inn. I thought better of it to go tell Charmer.

After telling charmer he said he would keep an eye out but by this time a too fancily dressed man was approaching me. With his feathery hat and shoes curling inward at the ends he made me wonder why anyone would wear such clothes. He asked if I was this so called "Resurrectionist" he had heard about. Such a fool to think that bring people back to life lies in the hands of mere men. I told him I was an acolyte of K'hat and he responded he was a satirist though I have no idea what God he follows. He said he was sadden to find out I was not a resurrectionist but he may have a job for me and asked if I would come with him to the inn.

As we sit down at the inn this man named (see notes) told be about a ale maker getting into selling ale to a cult. Unfortunately the cult had no interest in ale and thought it was bad but saw Lady (see notes) of Kelnor there being brought in for some sort of ritual. After asking what he had to offer to bring her back he continued on about how he needed to tell how desperate the situation was and asked if I was a leader. Naturally I am a leader of K'hat and will preach the blessings so I told him yes. But when asked again what he had to offer he was more concerned with the telling if stories. As I saw that Charmer was there I decided that it was best to just leave this bumbling fool to his wanting to drink but not drinking. It was getting late into the day anyways. It's best to think about finishing our escort mission and getting little lady back to the city with us and to the dwarves away from this insistent fighting.

Before retiring for the night I see if the fool is still out taking about me. And he is out talking to some younglings about K'hat answering my call. I hope with him talking up so much about her that it doesn't bring to much attention to me.

### Aefgeol 9th: K'hat's divine protection

After waking up the morning light I see the "satirist" sitting at a table looking as if he had a rough night. We gather our things up and set to head out, it's but 2 days til back in the city. I was glad to see our clients didn't take long to set up to leave this morning. Before leaving I prayed to K'hat to make sure this journey held less dangerous encounters then the last so that our group will be able to actually enjoy this time in the city. As one final look around the town I don't see the child we rescued to take back to the dwarven city. Looking at Tails it looks as she is sad and just shakes her head no at me. It's as if she knew what I was thinking and wanted to make sure she was with us too.

Well it didn't take long, at first I thought Tails had seen the girl off in the woods because of how excited she was as unlooked back and seen her talking to Alan. But as he came to do his rounds I find out it's just a mousekin in the woods that she saw. It seemed this journey would be no less eventful than the last. We continued on high alert the rest of the day. As we set up camp I noticed more squat creature lurking in the shadows. We decided it would be best to stay extra vigilant tonight.

As we was setting up camp Charmer decided that it would be best that we set up 2 guards per shift and leave early in the morning. As he was going to ask Elden if he would help with the watch I approached our clients. I needed to see when they was going to want to leave in the morning when they said by 9 bells it was quiet concerning. We needed to leave early to get back to town quickly and this night seemed like it would be interesting. I don't know why the others don't trust me to convince people of what needs to be done, the brothers understood very easily why we needed to get back to town quickly. I merely told them we need to get to town so we could get permits and go on to our next job. I saw no reason to tell them of the mousekins in the woods, not after seeing how they reacted to our last encounter.

As Alan had told me how they decided to set up the watch I was a little disappointed. I figured Tails would want to take her shift with me. When I heard she was very insistent that Merida myself and her should all be on different watches. I knew she wanted someone she could completely trust on each shift. Though it didn't seem to matter this would be a short rest for everyone as the rat creatures ran out.

As I was telling Alan of the mousekin charging we heard a loud this and the horse began to go stir crazy. I started to bang my shield with my hammer to wake and inform the others as Alan charged the creature. Three more mousekin rushed the horses one managing to pierce a horse. As I charged into battle I touched my hand against my hammer and asked K'hat for her favor to help. A power began to flow from my body I felt as though K'hat was next to me guiding my strikes and my movement. My hammer began to beam with a low orange glow but it felt as though it came from my hand and emitted to my hammer. As I rushed to attack one of the mousekin I dropped my hammer and swung as hard as I could upwards crossing my body. As he dodged the attack he reeled back to attack me with his spear, just as my hammer started to slow in its swing he hit above my shoulder. His spear got stuck between my shoulder and hammer. He went to jerk the spear away he lost his grip and it fell behind me. K'hat had answered my prayers again and protected me yet again. As Alan struck the last one in front of me down though, I see K'hat was not able to protect all of us. The horse had be severely wounded now and Merida was unconscious. Fenin rushed to her to take care of her. I started to calm the horses down it would take me some time to heal them. Being from the plains this was normal and the horses calmed down to a complete docile state though they needed much help still.
