Oh boy. What fun it is.
Started as human peasant in a village. Talked to a fellow farmer, he mocked me, "An adventurer? YOU?!! Don't be silly, and where did you get that old sword, anyway? There is no way you could afford one with our meager pay!" , and I said to him "I'll show you what I can do! Give me something to do!". He looked at me mockingly and said "Well, remember that troublesome brigand that attacks our village all the time? It would be a lot easier, if someone could get rid of him. You know where he lives. If you want to prove your worth go kill him."
I set out of the village without thinking twice. Amazing! The day pasts so fast while you're traveling. I've been told horrible stories about a bogeyman traveling the wilds at night and killing every human he sees, so I decided to stop near a small village with a clear overpopulation problem and asked the Siege Engineer who strangely lived there to stay the night at his house (which he shared with 23 other villagers). He welcomed me with great pleasure and I think I got along with other residents. I slept till dawn and set off, as I didn't want to wake them up. About 8 hours into my travels, a goblin patrol ambushed me. It was an axeman and a crossbowman. I disabled the Axeman's Axe holding hand and stabbed him in the lower body several time and left him to drown in his blow while deflecting silver bolts from the troublesome goblin, quite a distance away. He managed to hit me in my left lower leg and I didn't hesitate, I pulled out the bolt and charged into the goblin before he got a chance to reload. I quickly severed both of his hands, before noticing the Axeman was dragging himself away. I started returning to the Axeman and the Crossbowman started running away. Barely caught him. The Axeman moved only by a little when I returned and I tried to chop his head off, but he died from blood loss far too soon.
I have a leg cut open and I'm nearly at my destination. I don't know if the wound will heal itself and what to expect in the end of my trek. Glory to Armok.
EDIT: Well. Losing is fun.
