| Next time I will not arrange a tournament. I'll take them to the Marauderin Kaldorian, get them drunk. They will start fighting eachother and then I'll declare the champion without them knowing it. Its the only way you'll get them to duel. Only four of us showed up last night. After a very close match with Shelly DoLittle got the title again. I swear you slay deamons easier than you get him down.
Was very quiet. No action whatsoever. Rose was a good idea. A drink with Shelly there would help me relax. And relaxing it was. Until of course this man named Orlando came and wanted to talk about me offending Lady Jade by calling her a wench. By the look of him he was one of those arm wavin darn magicians and I do tend to avoid fights with em. We talked a bit but where interrupted by Keina yelling "West Gate!".
Shelly and I armed up and ran to the gate. There we saw what looked like a bunch of monks and a lot of unconscious guards laying on the ground. The two of us confronted about seven of them. They were saying we were sinners and that they are saints and that we should bow accept the one true god. Yewmen ah thought. Taunting us again.
A guard jumped from behind them and let off an arrow providing us with the distraction we needed. A couple of them chased him down and I went after them. Shelly I think just charged their ranks head on which was not very wise and she was unconscious by a spell volley. After a while the "Saints" numbers where down to four. And ah found mehself surrounded by them. It struck me as odd why they stopped when I was the only one left. They told me to lay down my sword and accept the one true god. Nonsense...Seems they never met a Kaldorian before. So I raised my sword ready for the fight.
Cheeky monks. The moment I did I was immobilised. And waited for the standard outcome after that while having two of them speaking those dreadful words.
That man truelly is something. He jumped out of the shadows like a lightning and disrupted the one person. I managed to break free of the spell and took the beating of the other. Went round the corner. Shook my head a bit and recomposed myself. Then went to charge back. He was still there. Hacking at them joined by what appeared to be a drow lass. The three of us made short work of them. I just had to say it. "Seems yer lot have never heard of Raza."
We let them be on their way. After talking to Talon he told me they were Vesparians. Why would they attack in disguise though. They already are at open war with Trinsic. If that was true though some things that happened did make sense. I will trouble myself later with it.
Resumed my talk with Orlando. After a few ales and a few jokes he left the Tavern. Nice man he seems. And a man of his word too. We'll see what happens with this Jade lass. Maybe he can straighten her out and make it possible fer someone to coexist in the same space as her.
Pleasing night it was. And it was more pleasing later.
Tomorrow night the Captain be leading the training. I do hope he has not lost his touch and it will be every bit as painful, tiring and frustrating as I remember it.
