Journal of Sarvalos

    A loosely bound blackened leather journal, with a symbol of Two blades crossing with a Viper snake etched onto the cover within this book hold the findings, experiences and story of Sarvalos

    Day 1
    I arrived safely this day in the Region and found my way to the Regal Whore Inn within Jiyyd, There I rested, my battle with the winter Wolf was one I thought I would never win yet somehow I managed. I searched Jiyyd out finding out what I could and searching for any business contacts but I found none, I headed North toward the City of Peltarch but on the way I met a beauty by the name of Kara, she joined me north to Peltarch and we made the odd small talk, she spoke briefly on Faith, which leads me to belief she has some ties to one of the religious organisations of these parts she seemed nice, I even offered to have her join me at the Tavern, but she seemed reluctant. Peltarch seemed a fine city, although the streets were empty, perhaps it was just too late for most folk to be about.

    I found employment briefly with the Seafarers guild and delivered a quick bill to a halfling in town, he seemed rather pissed off about the whole thing, but I managed to make a few coins of his misfortune so I aint complaining.

    Day 2
    I headed to Norwick this day, with the accompanyment of Kara, she has surely proven she has skills on the battlefield, I wonder what kind of Skills she has to offer in the bedroom. The Journey to Norwick involved many HobGoblins ambushing us, and me being placed under a damned sleep spell in the process, quite embarassing i must say! Once we arrived I sold what loot I had recovered and looked over the market place in norwick, much better prices here.

    we then sat on a bench and relaxed when a Man kara knew named Jerr approached, the two began a conversation about a place called Oscura and a well that this Jerr had been spending much time looking at, anyways I guess whatever gets you goin. Later a man named Shannon showed up and the whole group began speaking of Demons and Devils and the such, rather boring talk if you ask me, but good to know nonethless i guess

    There is some scribbles of crude maps and some charcoal sketches of some buildings and the persons he met(Kara Dumonte, Lance Goodman, Nars Skald, Shannon D'Arneau)

    The next few pages include very little of interest, footnotes on his time in Oscura and all that he has learned it then picks up with some interest on a later page

    Day 14
    This day in Oscura I got a chance to speak to the young man known as Aelthas, It is nice to have found someone my own age in these lands that Is so experienced with the blade, He has accepted to teach me a thing or two about swordsmanship, and after our first sparring match I have much to learn. I hope for two things from this arrangement 1.) I hope that I will learn much and improve my skill and 2.) I hope that perhaps I have made a friend.

    Day 15
    The West Gate's alarm rang this day in Oscura, it was the first time I took up arm to defend the city I have decided to call home, I rushed out to where the defense would take place and was greeted with creatures I have never layed eyes on before, their hides were so thick that my Bolts did nothing but bounce off of them, I was rather dissapointed that I could not be of more assistance in the battle, but I stayed with the hope that perhaps one well placed shot may manage to slay at least one of the foul creatures. Luckily the horde of creatures was beat back and things settled down, we lost one man, an outsider of Oscura I believe, a man named William. Father Dagon was able to save his soul, But I wonder if he perhaps lost a bit of himself on the battlefield.

    Journal then trails off into minor details and reflections, sketches of some sword defensive maneuvers and strikes he saw in the battles from some of the more experienced fighters and other drawings, mainly of the creatures in the battle and of a Sauriel he met later in the day named Steelfin

    Day 3
    This day had been rather boring not much happening until I came upon a group of people apparently investigating the ambush and abduction of some rich trading folk company, the Group included another Female Knight named Elenwyd, I had not expected to meet so many women who were the adventuring types. Also among the group was a tiny Elf named Nym and the remainder of the group looked to be nothing more than greenhorns probally hired on to protect the frail Elf. Regardless I decided to tag along when I heard the reward would be 10,000 Gold Pieces, that amount of Gold would surely net me a nice life of luxury.

    We followed a trail and found a man who had his Neck slashed, the handiwork was definatly not done by any ambushing or raiding party as it was the typical throat slash, deep and deadly. Unlesss the raiders singled him out and executed him I would wager this death to be seperate from the original attack, of course I plan on keeping all the information I find to myself, no point in sharing the reward with others.

    We also went through a cave, were we found the contents of the trading companies caravan and I managed to pilfer myself a pair of bracers without the others noticing. We eventually came to a Ransom note placed inside one of the boxes, I plan on reporting said news to the guy who is gonna pay out on the rewards.

    Journal then includes more scetches of those persons met today and sketches of the ambushed caravan and the seperate murdered man
