Galena 25th, in the Year of Myth 11
A circle of dwarves around a camp fire, surrounded by piles of belongings and bodies. They look up as another approaches, wearing a mask, and wordlessly move aside as he takes his place among them. He is followed by an enormous bird, a falcon, trudging wearily behind.
As the faceless dwarf removes the dragon skull tied around the bird's back, a small leather-bound volume falls to the ground, along with a pair of crutches and shields. The bird seizes the book and leaps to the side, but looking apprehensively at the dwarf, sees he does nothing to stop him. The bird scores his leg with the talon of his other foot, coating it in blood, and scratches into the inside cover:
If anyone finds this journal, I hope to the gods he hasn't found you.With that, he takes off, flying northeast at breakneck speed. The journal would be found near a hovel a week later, but no one ever saw the bird. A man in tattered clothes was seen, but only once. As far as the world was concerned, Kima Begonbatow died in the Year of Myth 11.
But we know better.
I left the waterskin, still with 2 units of dragon blood, with Noface's alpaca wool backpack. This contains many things, including his shield, crossbow, mask, and the dragon skull to ensure they'll be at the fort. All of Kima's stuff is in the Yak Hair backpack.
Here's Noface's final stats:
With 41 Notable kills (mostly gobbos) and 130 other kills (mostly unfortunate animals)
We'll have to make him put the mask back on when he arrives, and since he has high military skills he probably won't show till the second wave.
Anyway, though, very sorry for the delay! Save in next post, still uploading.
