While Kali worked to memorize a new spell Qatana and I took turns throwing lighted rocks into the water to see if there was anything in the water. We did not find anything. We still had some business to do checking out the last mark on the makeshift map.

Heading towards the X we came across a shack that got Etayne excited. Turns out this was the home of a witch and Etayne really wanted to speak with another witch? Not really sure. Anyway the witch appeared to die from an experiment gone wrong. The familiar was annoying so the others helped it by burying the witch under a bush. Moving on we found the next ship again with the Tien writing plus some gold and rockets. So we decided to head back to town but we were attacked by something we later found out was a Sinspawn. The others killed it before I even got a chance to get a shot off. We took the body back to town and actually got a bounty equal to the goblin leaders head.

Out of distain I stayed back while the others took the letter to Ameiko. Luckily Ameiko seems to understand the plight of adventures and provided Kali, Olmas, Anavaru and Etayne with the ruling that allowed us to keep the loot. Later at dinner we all agreed to travel with Ameiko to Brinewell to investigate. I had originally planned to collect money and head out on adventuring but this looks to be an exciting adventure so I will travel to Brinewell with the group. With so many of the group tending toward order my chaotic ways could be an issue for the others, that is except for Qatana. I am not exactly sure about Radella she has seem secretive on this.

The group was up late planning. I brought up a couple of suggestions but Kali explained in detail how they would not work. At least she took the time to explain why the ideas would not work. Clearly my planning skills have not improved and I will have to start learning caravan skills.

I kept my tongue and did not bring up the subject of how we are going to share the loot from Brinewell. Obviously her family treasure would belong to her but what about everything else. I just know that Kali, Olmas, Anavaru and Etayne would claim that everything in Brinewell falls under the ruler ship of Ameiko so I decided to not challenge there need for rules and lawfulness at this point. Ameiko will likely give us at least a small cut of the loot but I am mainly going because we are leaving Sandpoint.

While Kali and the others continued there planning I thought about my motivations for going on this trip.

First we are going someplace. I originally was trying to earn money to get out and see the world. I now have some money and soon we will be leaving Sandpoint.

Secondly I am going to get some caravan experience. Yes getting paid for the work would be better but this prepares me for traveling with a different caravan. I have begun to learn how to driver a caravan wagon as an additional skill.

Thirdly I am now curious about Brinewell. Although there may or may not be much profit going on Ameiko quest it does sound very interesting.

Again while the others were working on the caravan details I began planning what I was going to do. My first thought was to travel with the group to Riddleport gaining caravan experience and then hiring on with a different caravan heading to some far off place. But I have committed to helping with the Brinewell Ameio legacy and you should always keep your word. Besides I am very curious about Brinewell now. I have no interest in returning to Sandpoint and I have heard that Riddleport is actually one of the three biggest cities around so that is the logical place to part ways with the others.

Sarenith 29, 4712 Sandpoint

With our departure from Sandpoint just a few days away I decided to finally talk to Melissa and ask her out on a date. I have really wanted to talk to her for over a year now but just didn’t have the courage to talk with her. So Yesterday I went to talk with her and ask her out on a date. I was pretty rudely rejected and she told me that she would never date someone of such low standing. I headed back to the rusty dragon and began drinking away my shame. I was pretty drunk when Sparna dragged me away from that woman adventure and back to my room to sleep it off. I am pretty sure Sparna kept me from doing something very stupid. I thanked Sparna this morning and paid for his lunch as a small token of thanks.

All of that time wasted thinking about Melissa only to find out she is not someone I want to spend any time with anyway.

Erastus 4 Galduria

This evening we pulled into Galduria. My job as scout provides me with the freedom to wander about with no one around to remind me of the rules and laws created by those that just want to control us. Anyway the trip to Galduria was not really very eventful. I scouted and also found supplies for the caravan. Kali seems to have it all planned out and written down.

Erastus 10 Rodericks cove

Four hours outside Galduria on the way to Rodericks Cove I found this interesting mouse. I had stopped for lunch when I noticed the mouse just sitting on a log looking at me. I set down a piece of cheese and the mouse gobbled it up and looked at me as if waiting for more. I ignored the little mouse and finished my lunch and then continue doing my job. A little while after leaving the mouse it occurred to me that maybe this was a person trapped in a mouse body. But I decided that if this mouse really wanted to travel with me it would have come over to me. Maybe this is a sign that I am going crazy. I would be more worried if the mouse had talked.

A few hours from Rodericks cove we spotted Ogres hiding just off the road waiting to ambush travelers. We split into ranged fighting and those that wanted to get up and close. We caught the Ogres by surprise and I never had to get within 25 feet of them. I had some good shots hitting a couple of them thus contributing to the defeat of the Ogres. Anavaru must have taken the final shot on a couple of them as she was proclaiming to be the one that kill those Ogres. Even though it is difficult to shoot at someone in melee combat I was trying to help out Olmas instead of seeking the glory. Once again Olmas was on the brink; Etayne jumped in to provide him enough healing to keep him alive. I did a post combat heal to get his health back to full.

The Ogres had some 800 gold of treasure that we decided to use for caravan upgrades. I signed up for this likely non profitable adventure so I will just have to conserve the money that I have until I can get into a group or situation where I can make some money.

Erastus 12 Riddleport

“A wretched hive of scum and villainy” are but some of the phrases that have been said about Riddleport. Looking over the city it actually looks like an interesting city. From Riddleport one could travel by ship or caravan to far off places. Abby would simply love to be here to see the arch. I found an artist with a drawing of Riddleport and the archway for a reasonable price so I spent just a little bit on one to send to Abby. I found a caravan heading back to Sandpoint to deliver the letter and drawing back to Sandpoint and Abby.

Wandering through the caravan area I found a number of caravans looking for extra people. I am currently committed to helping with Brinewell but I have little interest in traveling back to Sandpoint with the rest of the group. Looking over the harbor it is possible that a ship adventure may be in order. I will just have to check on caravans when we get back into Riddleport.

Erastus 17 outside Brinewell

A couple of days ago Ameiko collapsed and has not woken up since. I attempted to help the healers with there investigation into want happen but when they started getting personal with Ameiko that was my sign to be somewhere else. My experience helping the healers reinforced the fact that people prefer there healers to be old people. In the future I believe that it is just better if I stay out of there way when they are doing the healer thingy.

Anyway despite Ameiko condition we moved forward. Kali at her side we learned that Ameiko was speaking in Tein in her sleep. Not surprisingly Kali was able to translate. It appears that she is giving clues as to how to find the family heirloom. We have had several days to look these over but it looks like we will have to go into Brinewell to truly figure out there meaning.

Ameiko is still not awake so it has been decided that the 8 of us will travel into Brinewell to find the warding box talked about in the letter. The others will stay with the caravan to guard it and take care of Ameiko.
