Chapter 1: Burnt Offerings - Part 2: Local Heroes

The Townsfolk Love us

Karaz

Well it's like I figured. Not much different in this town than any other. At least here folks mostly ignore or overlook me. No one has thrown a single rock! Got a job though, sure it's moving corpses but hey it pays ok and the other guy doing it hasn't tried to kill me yet. Been hanging around a group of adventurers but never know how long it will last. So far they seem ok but no real friendships yet. But they did let me sit with them for meals, their wizard even gave me a magic bath. It's lots better than the cold river and you come our cleaner too! The apartment burned down but I share a room at the Inn for now. It's not in the root cellar either! Can't wait to see what happens next but I'm not getting my hopes up for now.

Haneet

Isra'a

How am I going to pull any jobs? Far too many people know me now. On the upside, I don't have to pay for things - so it hasn't hurt my life style any. I just hope the people here don't travel often, really don't want to be widely known. The youngest Vander daughter lured me into an interesting position. When her father started nosing around I was able to slip out unseen. Given more time, the position would have been much more interesting... hope I didn't cause the poor thing too much trouble. Not enough to stick around mind you, better her than me.

Problems in the Cemetery

Karaz

Someone actually came looking for me at work today! Those adventurers asked me to help with some trouble at the cemetery. I was surprised to be asked, maybe we will become friends after all! The problem was a few skinny guys. I mean really skinny, no skin, no muscle, terrible. They were aggressive fellows, but a few well placed feet took care of things. Got a little dusty but I was ok. Glad I came. They actually let me help! The townsfolk thanked everyone but me, but that's nothing new. Maybe I have a place here after all. We found some salvageable gear too, and I am probably going to get a share! Maybe I can get a new apartment. If I can avoid people a bit maybe they'll put up with me longer.

Isra'a

Out of the frying pan and into the fire... Perhaps it would have been wiser taking my knocks from ol' Vinder. The group pulled me along to some issues in the cemetery - skeletons... animated skeletons. I daresay, my razor sharp wit would have been more effective against them than my razor sharp sword. Note to self... get a mace of some kind - the ugly one's kicking seemed quite effective.

Boar Hunting in Tickwood

Karaz: We got invited to go boar hunting! Well that adventuring group got hired to protect some rich guy who was going, but they let me tag along! I might even get paid for going. I almost died out there! Gotta toughen up some! The old man would never have fallen like that! The cleric healed me, didn't ask me to be a sacrifice or anything! This just keeps getting better and better! Better not tell her we are from the same hometown. That seems to make other dwarves pretty mad. Not getting my hopes up, but they haven't tied me to a tree and run off or left me where I fell. That's a good sign right? I have decided to help them as long as they will let me. It'd be nice if it was a long time. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Isra'a

A jaunt out to Tickwood with Foxglove could have been a more civilized activity. Unfortunately, it was not. Foxglove seemed enamored with the dwarf woman/man, I never can tell with them. I swear, if I have to hear 'no trouble at all' one more time... of course it was trouble - don't down play my actions. I expect to be paid for my services. Just because something is the right thing, doesn't mean that warm feeling is a suitable reward. I guess I must speak up more often if I am going to get my cut. To top it all off - I was run thru by the boar... I need to be far more cautious in the future.
