Task 1 - Gathering Bandages

My way to gather wool led me to Yew, where I soon encountered a stall with sheep and farmers. Kindly enough, they dinnae chase me off.



As I sheered all the sheep, I soon realized tha' I'd be here for a lifetime to gather enough wool.





I reflected on my decision for wool in Cove, as I got greeted by a blue haired member of the arcanist squad. She told me tha' there are fields in Moonglow where cotton grows. Kindly enough, she opened me a portal to there where I was able to pluck the cotton of the plants.



Afterwards, my way led me to New Haven where I asked the local tailor to use the spinning wheel and loom to make use of the gathered cotton and wool.
In the end, I gathered enough for 550 bandages and therefor see this task as for filled.

Task 2 - A trophy hunt

List of Attendes

• Gwen Whitcomb, Guardsman Recruit and leading person
• Marcus Kobra, Officer Cadet
• Avalynn Vale, Junior Grenadier
• Sheriam Palmer, Junior Guardsman
• Chelly Rothsmire, (Untrusted) Watchman
• Charas, Guardsman Recruit
• Kyle Wulfe, Guardsman Recruit

It was me time to keep advancin' with me tasks, so I scheduled an evenin' tha' started so well, but almost turned into a nightmare.

After Miss Vale gave me a few hints about gettin' heared and present myself as a bit more secure, I ordered the line to move to the Covian gate and from there, straight north from Ilshenar Spirituality gate to the spider caves.

Truly a creepy sight with all the spider webs, but none backed down stompin' and slicin' these vile creatures. We ventured further to the end of the cave where we eventually arrived at a shinin' tile tha' turned out to be a teleporter. This' where Master Kobra mentioned his concerns about trustin' arcanists, as I quote him "It's always a fifty-fifty chance if they tell the whole truth". In this case tho, they dinnae lie and we arrived safely at the island on where the Ethereal Fortress is located.

This is where Miss Tingleith, or how she calls herself now, Miss Rothsmire joined us. While the winged Guardians left us in peace, it was when she arrived they went into a frenzy and attacked us. A fierce battle broke out, and after we almost lost our grips, we somehow managed to overcome the foe, even tho we had to retreat in the underground.

However, we slayed more than two and in the end, I took as ordered their heads to present them to baron later.

Afterwards, we left the place, back through the spider cave, where people yet again failed to listen to me. But I made them listen to me outside. I was shocked by myself, to be honest. I dinnae knew I had it in me...

On our way back to the barracks, we stumbled upon a giant, blue demon. Miss Vale immediately attacked in and it was felled quickly. In the end, everyone except myself, Miss Rothsmire and Master Kobra donated their share of 3,100 coins and they were dismissed.
