*The penmanship is a rather small but very neat print. The brushstrokes suggest years of practice and an enormous amount of time taken for each word. The parchment it is written on is crisp and new*Addressed: To Gregor Eason, Senior Guardsman

The assignment was to be Field craft and Survival. Per the previously arranged time we, the group, were in front by 8 and a half bells past the midday. Following Sr. Guardsman Eason's perusal and inspection of our attire and accoutrements we made our way southeast. Watchman Leanne and myself were made to carry the needed supplies. And though heavy, neither of us complained. In fact I believe I saw a smirk cross the Watchman's face. It seems there is little she cannot do.
Once at the designated location we were instructed to construct a sentry. A task I had attempted in formation once before, I found the leathers easier to adjust above the wood this time around. We had been given a time limit of ten minutes and though not completely finished we had a good start and were nearly finished when the "Time" was called. I recall at one point Watchman Melior reminding me to put in an entryway. This is something I stumbled with my first time around. Senior Guardsman and my mentor, Eason; had words for me when I let him in without so much as a password. I will make sure not to make this mistake again.
When the sentry was to his satisfaction he gave us a new task, dispatch a Lich. Placing Watchman Melior in charge we made our way to the graveyard northwest of our location. The little devil tried to evade us and escaped the graveyard but we managed to thwart his escape and permanently put him asunder. Completing this we headed back to the sentry.
The only hitch to this outing was the arrival of an Orc! I did not get the chance to defend as all too quickly our group was covering the intruder. IN the end we watched him limp away without a shred of his dignity.
I have included some sketches. My artwork with pencil is not so good, though I hope you are able to make it out.
