my char
Melkor’s log 20th moonstone
This is insane I am not a fighter nor am I a explorer, yet they send me to a far away outpost. But staying here doesn’t help as well. Everywhere I go these day all I see are abandon houses. They say my job is to lead a small group of dwarfs, I hope they know what they’re doing.
Melkor’s log 26th moonstone
Today I am being send of, I have been given little time to train with a spear and a shield I have been given a extra dagger to throw but not much else.
This page is sodden with blood.
My arm he tore my arm of.
A aligator attack me…. At first it went well, I stabed the beast and it fled but I had to pursue it. Then it came around and tore my left arm of. I make it to my dagger and was able to throw it through his head.
I haven’t made it barley out of the town and already I am dying.
I am trying to find shelter for the night but then some dingo think I am a tasty meal. I ran for it as hard as a could I dropped my shield and my left glove no need for them anymore anyway. But they are still faster.
I can’t remember anything… one moment I was running for my life, and now… I am standing I the middle of 4 dead indigo.
I need to rest I must find shelter.
Finally a cave where I can sleep, its already night time.
Wait are… are those bones and.. fat.
Hello is somebody there? As I walk forward I see something glowing.
There used to be a campfire here .
Melkor’s log 27th moonstone
The night was horrible, I kept hearing sounds from the surface. I hope it’s safe to travel again.
Melkor’s log 28th moonstone
I have been traveling through the mountains, the progress is slower then I first thought. I was able to find a cave to sleep in but It was far away and had to walk to the east away from my goal.
I have found snow, this concerned me greatly because it will be harder to get water.
What…what was that?
A great beast stands before me, I quickly grab my….. where is my dagger!!!!! I forgot to pick my dagger up when I had throw it to a dingo.
I search my pockets and find nothing but rocks. The beast rose to the sky with its great wings made the sun go dark. Al I could do was throw what little I had to the beast, but it was all in vain. I lifted my left upper arm and hoped it would bite my arm instead of my right hand only then would I have a chance. The beast land only a few inches away from me and bite my left upper arm. I scream in pain while I thrust my spear in his foot.
I kept stabbing and stabbing till there was nothing left to stab. I looked at my left arm. This time there was nothing left nothing at all.
Melkor’s log 4th opal
I haven’t written for some time now. Mostly because I can’t find any safe place to hide. Last night I was attacked by some dingo. Lucky I have been getting better at fighting with one arm. I think I can finally cope with the lost of my left arm. I have also been training throwing quite a bit.
Today was a good day I was able to reach a castle and 2 human pike man want to join me. Finally some luck on my end now I won’t be alone all the time, I don’t however know anything about commanding. I just hope I don’t get them killed. 1 of the pike man already deserted me. I guess I am not cut out for this. We found a cave with the body of simin wemanba, ipan tiquoushcen, ator anamkebul rinul tomud and the list continues.
Melkor’s log 5th opal
I hear screams outside, I woke up and noticed that dosheb apugnebo wasn’t laying next to me. I grabbed my spear and ran outside where is see a pack of dingo’s attacking dosheb. I ran to aid dosheb but it seems he doesn’t really need my help, yes I stab a few times but dosheb is killing them all. After the battle was down I asked him why he didn’t wake me up. He said he didn’t want to bother me with something so simple. I told him I prefer to know when he gets attacked so I can help. The rest of the night was peaceful.
Melkor’s log 8th opal
I am getting used to this adventure stuff, mostly because I know dosheb will keep me safe. I know that because there was another pack of dingo’s and dosheb killed them all, it’s good to have somebody with you. It’s been a bit harder to find good caves mostly we travel at night and sleep during the day. I really like having dosheb around, before him this mission seemed pointless.
Melkor’s log 9th opal
Today we reached a small town, here we recruited a small army.
6 people wanted to join us, to be honest I am a bit overtaken that humans want to join us so eagerly. I also feel a bit bad, we are kind of taking their entire military. Sadly they didn’t have any supply we could buy, not that we have anything to trade with though.
Melkor’s log 11th opal
Why don’t they indicate on this map the size of these rivers. This river is so big and the current is to strong even I can’t cross it. There was only 1 option, go around it. I was a fool, this is what happens when you get to overconfident, there were a few unicorns and we needed more food so we attack them first 1 of them stabs me in the chest, I felt my lung screaming for pain. But then he hits 1 of my companions and he dead.
And what did I do? I picked up the stuff I needed and left. I have change during this journey and not the good way.
Melkor’s log 14th opal
I have failed my companions again. There was a small river we had to cross, even though I knew they couldn’t swim we when trough it anyway. We lost 2 more. They simply drowned. But the worst was how dosheb looked at me. He was disappointed at me, I tried to apologize but he wouldn’t listen. He said: I thought you were a better leader then this.
A few hours later we set up camp in a cave, he didn’t even said goodnight to me. I promise I will be a better leader I will be carful and won’t make any rash decisions.
Melkor’s log 15th opal
He left… he just left. Yesterday he was still sleeping but when I woke up this morning he was gone. Was he really that disappointed in me? I want to go back I want to find him but.. my duty, I have to go there’re dwarfs waiting for me.
Melkor’s log 18th opal
I have decided to go around the mountains. There is no reason to take a slow and dangerous route when we can also take a faster and safer route.
Melkor’s log 20th opal
I am here I can’t believe it the last 2 companions seem exited to see what we dwarfs will build here and what has been built already.
As we approach the site my heart stops for a moment. There is nothing here. Well there is a pile of body’s and clothes, but where are the dwarfs.
Ha! Finally, somebody showed up.
Melkor jumped at the sound of Nish talking to her.
w-who are you?
Me? Well I am Nish and I am the first dwarf of the settlers to arrive at this ‘glorious’ site.
The first? Melkor’s eyes opened wide. He was the first…
she thought there would already be a fort, or at least a pit, but there was nothing.
Wait… does that mean the 2 of us are going to build a fort?
Well not the 2 of us that is just stupid. We are going to build a fort with 7 dwarfs… they just haven’t showed up yet.
Melkor had to sit down for a moment, she had to build a fort with no experience, hardly any resources and they only have7 dwarfs.
I can’t go back that would be the dead of me, but staying here?
Hey missy you alright.
Ye-yes…. Yes I am fine. So what should we do while we wait.
I don’t know eat, drink, talk?
