Training has been completed and I have at least a week to myself as the others are still training. I have new spells transferred into my spellbook and have given that stuff to Kane to return. On the way back from the Cathedral to see Kane it occurred to me that I could try out my new spider climb spell by climbing to the top of buildings. I secured my axe and began to climb straight up the side of the closest house. Once on the roof I began running from roof to roof, combined with feather fall I easily traveled across the roof top in sandpoint. The chimney sweeps were a little nervous at first but you can’t under estimate the calming effect of a couple of rounds of free Ale. Three days after starting my roof top running routine a couple of town guards met me coming out of the Rusty Dragon and informed me that the duty commander wanted to have a discussion about my activities of late. At the garrison I was informed that running on the roofs was not proper. I tried to explain that I was training for the day when Sandpoint was invaded once again and I would need to chase those invaders across the roof tops to keep sandpoint safe. I even told him that the chimney sweeps were fine with my activity. Turns out that people are nervous about see a half-orc running across their roof tops. I have reluctantly agreed to not run across the roof tops any more, unless sandpoint is under attack. It’s not like I was hurting anyone and no one complained about any damage or noise as a result of my training. Something about law abiding citizens expecting some measure of law and order in their lives. Well at least I got in several days roof running before I was oppressed by the law. So my days of roof running have come to an end, at least until the next attack against Sandpoint anyway.

After spending a couple of days buying rounds of ale for the watch commander to ease over the tension over the roof incident I decided it was time for something new. I was walking over by the glassworks near the cliff when it suddenly occurred to me that this is a great cliff for improving my timing with feather fall. This is a great place to jump off, free fall most of the way and then use feather fall near the bottom to prevent injury. I always wondered what it was like to fall off a cliff; unfortunately it is only a few seconds of failing. Given enough height this free falling thing could be a lot of fun. Everything was going great, and after a couple of days I was able to get the timing down. I could easily run jump off the cliff, cast feather fall just before the ground and keep running. As I said everything was going well until I was handed a note by a guard from the watch commander with a very simple message.

Sabin,
Please stop jumping off the cliff, people keep reporting someone falling to their death.

And so ends my Sandpoint Cliff jumping days. I guess being 1 of the 2 half-orcs in Sandpoint make it pretty easy for the watch commander to figure out it was me. If we were back in Magnimar there would be a lot more half-orcs so they wouldn’t know that it was me. Being linked with the other half-orc who smells like his garbage is not making it easy to get along with the folks in Sandpoint.
