Day 15

We knew the plan had to be put into action at nigt so we decide to make use of our day. Some of us gathered more supplies while Erlond and myself set out to make allainces.

we arrived at WhisperingIlse and the agrred to join our quest after checking into Gorn's leadership themselfs. We made our first ally. We soon bumped into a pathfind which i knew Lavanthus my old freind. He soon revild the truth that the pathfiners HATE Gorn and his rag-tag group of bandits. We soon set off to try our hand at recruting the Orcs. On the way we bumped into three BlackGaurds on the way and the agreed to join us to the Orc city. Once upon the Orc city They refused to help us. The BlackGaurd were to much in a rush for father communcation through a gate andinsited we raid now.

Night 15

We and three BlackGaurd entered through a back a spy had made. Upon entry the BlackGaurd told Gorn he was uder arres and he turn to tell me to attack then slowly went to the chicken coop. Upon Him turning his back i seen the time to strike. Seeing how he is a bette warrior i seen a sneak attackthe best. I slew him wit one swift stike to his neck beheading him. As the BlackGaurd finished off the rest of the warriors.

Day 16

We slept in the Riverside fort that night. A well desirved sleep indeed. how ever we relised Primes body was not among the dead. He had made a smart move to leave durng the raid and live to strike back at us. We had to destory this place but in the night the Gaurd had left us alone. I had to try my luck with the Orc again. Upon entering there land i seen a theif, i chased him down and killed him as he would not state his meaning to me. Upon doing this an Orc shaman revived him. He demanded his stuff back. As i tryed to return it he stuck me dead. Next thingi knew i was standing over his dead body. He had state it was an accident and as the shaman raised me Erlond and Zen made him into dust. The higher ranking Orc declared war on Riverside. Litte did he know the troops of it layed dead in the bottom of it. We progressed to chase the Orcs back to there city. We opened the front gate to tere shock and slew all the warriors in the city. Just Erlond, Copenhagen, and myself held the city for Three hours until they agreed to burn what was left and rebuild on Fort Riverside. Our mission had worked with out a flaw. Even tho the Orcs took the credit.

Day 17

We have built a small floater just outside the Orcen city. We are calling ourself diplomats but really we only build and collcte reasources. This is a boaring life as i a have now had a taste of blood shed and vitorey. I wish to join the Black Gaurd or Dwarf Kingdom Patroll but im stuck in for now being a wader with no meaning at the moment. Is it so bad to miss slaying your foe and spying in there kingdom. News did reach the Orc sidetown owner of Prime taking over the new riverside (BllodSworn). The Elfs warned him of a future attack. His reponse was to send a letter asking peace. I only hope it comes back with rage and a promise of war..

Night 17

I spoted Prime scouting out the lands. This is a good sign for i may get to wet my blade with his blood next. I was also warned by a pasture that an undead invasion is on the way. Everyone says he is crazy but he has seen the future through his God's eyes befor so why would this time be diffrent. I know not if i should belive him or not but i am preparing never the less.

Day 18

Prime offered peace to the Orcs to my disappointment. I was for sure we would have to kill him as we did Gorn. I guess i am ment to live the simple life now. At least i will have a story for my kids one day, if a creeper dosen't claim me first.

Night 18

Erlond went to visit the Queen of Oren as he had made freinds with her. He left me at the floater alone but it is ok i like the peaceful night. Thunder sounds from the direction of Winterfall tho i hope it does not come this way.

[Riznam 10]

Day 19

Builders and Warriors are marching in the direction or Winterfall. I wonder if that thunderstorm last night shook them as hard as i thought. They seem to be carrying slabs of cobble and wooden planks, Lighting must of stuck a tower out there. After they passedi tryed my hand at some fishing but as all ways id rather be hunting an elk back in my home lands. I wish i listened to my father when he was trying to teach me how to craft a steall trap. I guess i will have to go pick an apple from Erlond's tree seeing as pigs can't walk on water.

Day 20

I was told the trip to Oren was a one day trip and Erlond said he would be back today tho he has still not returned. I bet he wandered off the path to track a bandit group or something. He is always looking for something to spy one or slay. I will give him three more days then i shall go forth and loo for him.

[Riznam 10]

Day 21

I have went out to travel to Oren even tho i know i was going to wait longer i do not hve the ability to let him have all of the glory of slaying a bandit king by himself. I packed a few apples and my fights gear for i do not belive it to be a long trip.

Day 22

I have arrived at Oren and it seems to be empty. Last time i ventured here The city was packed a full of busy people. What could have brought this on? As i wondered the city i stumbled in to a shake young boy holding a wooden sword. I started to ask him what hapened but he had never seen a Dwarf so he ran as if i as going to tear his face off. Soon a gaurd returned with the boy. The gaurd had to be younger then i but he seemed as if he had seen may battles. The gaurd soon stated he was one of the few squires left behide as everyone had rushed to winterfall for an undead ivasion. I told the gaurd i would stay in Oren untill the Royal Army returned.

[Riznam 10]

Day 24

I would have wrote on day 23 but i did nothing but teach the young boy how to use his wooden sword. He could now take out a spider if he needed to. As for today the Royal Army returned Elrondat the Queen's side. As i layed eyes upon her it took the breath sheer out of me i see why Erlond keeps returning. They stated Winterfall was burned to ruines, leveled as if it never stood. I was glad to have came to Oren it seemed i may get to see battle again. Befor i could meet the Queen the sky turned so bright a yellow it was near white. I tryed to leer into it but the sheer power of the light killed my eyes. As soon as it vanished i was standing in the present of what looked to be angels. I was soon told they are call acended and are the holy power which was set in Agies to rid i of the undead. I was took back at the thought of having my only mission in life to rid the world of undead. I fell in love with the thought.

Night 24

Nearing the sunset of that day without rain, sleet ,or snow a lightig bolt stuck the ground outside the castle. Every gaurd and knight of the Royal Army stood at attention. I thought i was just a weather phnomia. Befor i could ask hat was going on Bell ordered me and Elrond to stay by the Queen. The acedend ran to the wall in what looked to be a scouting party formation. Bell ran to the tower keep to look upon the land. Dalfare screamed from the sighting of the undead at a side road and it soon hit him Winterfall was no storm. We were under what i thought to be an attack by the strongest force in the world. Untill the skies cleared and we were told it was but a threat on the Queen's life. Bell soon dismissed us. We joined Dalfare on the jounrey to his house.

[Riznam 10]

Day 25

We reached Dalfare's castle. It seems to be a shrine to the undead. I did not like the thought of staying here, nor did Erlond, but we had to. I soon bought a small room, set up a hidden mushroom farm, and was made cheif builder. It was a good start for a first day. As cheif builder alll building rights was giving to me and i started finding secret rooms left and right. As i was i over heard Dalfare and a freind speaking of sacrfices and voices from the portal. I was scared he was going to try something funny but i desired a battle so bad i stayed hoping he would try to attack me.

Day 26

I have started work on expanding the outer wall. It is rough and ugly nut i am a dwarf who builds for use not design. I belive the structure should last not fall but look well designed. I have also dug a trenh behide the fort to place the fondation for the rest of the wall. All this will be completed in due time i belive.

Day 27

I have found an ancedint mine. Well the Sage that was with me said it was anyways. As we entered i thought it to be a hiden path however the blue sage told me otherwise. I decided to follow the mie in random directions with out the sage. To my disbelif i came out of the entrance to Dalfare's mine. I now have an easy under ground path safe from bandits and monsters.

Day 28

I went to join the Oren gaurd. I need to get my foot in the door of good and out of this bandit life. The King gave me a 250 mina starting bonus, a dimonad sword, and full iron. I belive i am prepared to gaurd this capital city.

Day 29

I arrest Elrond and Eldar today for jumping on Oren's founder's grave. There was no hard feeling seeing as i was just following orders. Im glad my friends took it lightly. So a ex-ranger now pathfinder entered the city. The Prince ordered him to leave but he stood his ground (Brave man). The Prince order another gaurd and myself to arrest him. We attempted to but in the process he kick my fellow brother in arms and attempted to flee. We chased him clear out of Oren befor i could land the killing blow. Should i not feel bad for killing an unarmed traitor to the Crown?

[Riznam 10]

Day 30

I have wittnessed my first sacrafice..... I traveled to Eldar's house in Whipsher Isle and he had traped a by-passer. To my shock he honors the undead overlord Freyj. Seeing as i thought it to be a life lesson i thought i would take part. I helped trap the civilan by the door with wooden poles. Once stuck in place we lit the pit. Eldar grabed the man and.... pushed him into the pit without hesitation. I thought i should be ashamed but this did not effect me one ounce. I am deeply worried which way my moral compass now faces.

Day 31

I travelled to Oren after hearing Freyj's voice all night. I have had no sleep and little to eat. The thought of killing another man, even if he was an elf, just to please a dead man. This thought repulses me. What should i do? I need help i feel like something is eating away at my insides... I must lay low and act sick untill this feeling passes. I am worried it may consume me which i do not want to happen. I like my simple gaurd life.

Day 32

I could not get out of work.. should of seen that coming. Tho as a low ranking gaurd my job is easy. Sit here on top of the gate controll who and what comes in, write in this book of mine, and star of in to the sky wondering will this sick feeling ever go away. I hear it get worse once you sacrafice more. I planned the one to be the first and last for me.

[Riznam 10]

Day 33

While on duty today an old friend stole Bell's diary. This brought King Charles to the Oren gates. He threatened an attack if the diary was not returned. An Eldar showed u in his veiw i rushed Eldar taking the book befor Charles could see. Charles and his body guards then turned to Eldar and the chase began. Half way to Whisper Isle the King checked my bags, little did he know i had hidden the book already. They then bolted after Eldar with the other guards. I left the group and read the book. Soon after 30 pages of sheer excitment i left the hidden spot in the woods to rejoin the guards. Upon arriving at Eldar's house i could hear the crackle of the pit again... IT brought back the memory of the Elf's death. I hit the ground. Once i relised what had happened i stood up in a hurry. I wish i hadn't i relised King Charles and two of his men were locked in Eldar;s house. Soon i smelled burning hair and flesh... Eldar shouted out to the undead god that he had burnt the King. I knew he would beheaded for this. Night began to fall and no one had moved as we all tryed to find away in. Again the smell of burning dwarf started back up.. one of the King's men was burning. Eldar had went to far now! The last guard screamed that he would kill Eldar but some how the guard was disarmed. This could not end well. We shouted and hit the walls but it was sealed tight so an idea hit Bell we lie to him. Tell him the Overlord was here for him. As the idea sounded great the smell of Dwarf started up again but this time Eldar dug his way the back and excaped.

[Riznam 10]

Day 34

I returned to Oren a scared Dwarf. This day was simple and i thought it would be just another day on the gate. Then i spoted eldar on the horizen running this way. He told me to open the gate an so i did. He ran throught the city daring people to chase him and so he was rewarded when all the guards followed him. To his luck the only crim in Oren he commited was keeping his sword draw and distrubing the peace. He spent one night in jail and was relesed.

Day 35

On the was to Judas's church to prey i bumped into Eldar speaking with the unead inquisitor and so i watched. The undead took his blood put it in a vial and threw itinto a portal the hell. Then ordered Eldar to slay Bell. I was sure he would seeing as he burnt Charles. I sat and watched as Bell fell , i was certain she had died. To my disbelif she was only knocked out. Eldar spoted me and the undead set me ablaze.

Day 36

I awoke in a strange place laying down. Bell had already left according to this strange holy man. He told me that while returning from Oren he seen Bell and myself laying there and brought us to the temple of Aegis. I was told my belongings were left where i was found due to the fact no items of war were allowed in the temple. He helped me to my feet and explained the histoy of his brotherhood to me. After the lesson in lore he guided me out an warned me of the undead.

[Riznam 10]

Day 37

On my way to Oren Eldar hoped out of a tree with Elrond. Elrond stated he had chased the demon out of Eldar and cleased his soul. I rejoiced with this new an hugged Eldar. They spoke of becomeing a bandit and the riches that follow it. I was persuaded with ease to join them and we set out to make a base. I dugg under water and made a new base for orperations. We will now hide our riches untill the Guards are off our banks the recurculate the stolen objects.

Day 38

A simle day in which i robbed my first By passer on the king's road.

Day 39

I went to Oren to quite the Guard but the King was busy so i was forced to wait a day. In the barracks.

Day 40

Today i awoke to find Eldar is prison. I ran to release him and conjured a plan on the way. Once entering cell block one i went to cell 1-1 an told the guard Brett sent me to let him take break. Unpon opening the cell to let him out the Prince returned with the other guard and Eldar shoved him and ran. I was arrested only to soon be joined by Eldar in the cell across from me.

OOC INTERVENTION

Ok so i have been gone for like 6 days seeing my computer was struck by lighting. (Even tho i know only like three people are reading this. Im going to start putting some ooc input at the end of some of my entries. If you find a (*1) then there will be a corasponding (*1) under the post with my OOC look on it.

So with that im now going to update my topic.

[Riznam 10]

Day 41

After being release we set out to form our onw bandit base. This would be a great hiden structure. We scouted for the best spot. Only to arrive behide the Orcen city at a lake. AN idea suddenly hit me... we shall build underwater or partily. For the first day i made my secret dwarven sign, planted some darkwood, and light the area.

Day 42

I started the under water tunnel. It lead into the mountain were i soon started to make the first floor. I place chest for loot with another for materials. I begain to widen the room this would be all of day two.

Day 43

We gained Elrond on night two as well as Connu and Trent today. We all expanded the new floor i made last night. The second floor is amazing. With all of the help we set up a new more organized chest room. I left and made a underground farm much like our base. As night came in i decide to go out monster hunting. With no noise i was almost hit by an arrow.. this lead to a skeleton attack. As they slowly closed the gap on me i was worried this would be my end. I pulled out my Diamond sword and clime'd up the hill. I jumped down onto them from above so i would have the advantage. I ended them swiftly. I turned only to see a spider only a few meters from where i had jumped. He was working his way to me. I hate spiders with a passion. As he jumped towards me i pulled out my bow dropping my sword. While back paddling i was shooting him non-stop (*1). After slaying him this ended my night.

Day 44

After a long night i passed out and slept till high noon. Upon waking i noticed we had a new third floor as well as a mushroom farm. Much progress was made in my absents. We soon decide to set out to rob some people of their life savings so we could fund this place better.

Day 45

Finally we completed the base but in our shock another mortal found our location... he was going to build a city on top of our carved out mountain so the wandering wizard made us leave our home...

(*1) More were killed but i shorten it up. Figured a whole night of mob killing was boring.

[Riznam 10]

Day 46

Once we moved we were told the city planner decided to move so we lost a well done base for no reason. Tho last night Elrond and ELdar robbed the king of Kal'aras and he said if we gave up our ways we could join his city. So we decided to leave as secret bandits in this city.

Day 47

I became part of what i believe to be the demo team.. I seem to be tearing down more and more test homes and even the mage tower. Ever tower down a flying tower? It was a new experience. Sadly it took all day..

Day 48

Their was an undead attack today at the valve base. We ran their only to be struck with lighting. This stun'd me as my armor grounded me. Many warriors were slain and i was damn close to it tho very very lucky. Once being healed by a monk that was at the battle i went to defend the king. Before i new it the battle was over. We left to continue to work on the city.

Month 4

After my last entry i went into the wilds to try and tame my mind. I wanted a better grasp on the world of Ageis. Only a few miles into my journey i found what i believed to be a small cave. Tho my surprise it was an intricate system of caves and tunnels leading into a mountain. At this point i ventured into the cave to find my peace of mind body and soul. After many long days and nights of deep thought i came to the conclusion it was better to stay in this system until i found myself. During the first month i found peace of body, eating only the cave mushrooms i slowly lost my dwarfish weight an started to slim up. After getting back in shape i picked the wrong mushroom during the second month and had a bad trip. I seen many memories as if i was still there. After the trip i went into the deepest stage of sleep awaking only when i found my peace of mind. The third month i wanted to try my luck on these "Spirit Animals" i hear the druids speak of, They are suppose to guide you through life and teach you the ways they believe right. Sadly this month ended out of my favor i have still not found this "Spirit" but i lost many skills i now seek to regain.
