Leader: Vince Valentine, Officer cadet
Soldiers present: Dias Redd, guardsman recruit
It was right after our successful caravan journey when Vince and myself decided to lead a patrol. Vince sent out the pidgeons and we waited for a few minutes, but seeing as no other soldiers came along, we decided to do something else. This is when Vince suggested we go hone our skills by hunting some giants right where they live, in the deep caverns of Despise. I eagerly agreed, and soon enough we were off to the dungeon. We descended the first flight of stairs when we heard the snarls and growls of the nasty creatures that dwelled there. We grinned at each other and charged into battle, slaying all the ogres and giants we laid eyes on.
After viewing the destruction we had caused, we decided to venture deeper into the caverns. The caves only got darker and wierder as we went on, encountering only a few trolls. We ended up viewing a strange altar a few trolls seemed to be guarding, and deciding it to be an evil pagan shrine, Vince burned it to the ground and we moved on. We finally ended up in the largest area of the dungeon, filled with Giant ogres and beasts one would pay to never see. The two of us bravely fought through the oncoming horde of beasts and their large leaders, whom proved to be more difficult than the regular infantry they showed us earlier.
After slaying three of the giants' commanders, we decided to retreat back to the barracks and count our loot. We ended up with over ten thousand gold pieces, and instead of taking my share of the loot I decided to donate it to the militia's pile. It was a grand and profitable hunt in the long run.
