I started out on a small journey today..Looking for new places.
I stood outside the barracks and checked I had all the essentials.
Then i headed East out into the dense forest. I walked for what seemed to be about Ten Minutes before coming across a run-down old graveyard infested with Undead Minions. I felt I ad' to do my duty and clense this evil place.
I wiped down my trusty bow and decided to move on before more trouble came my way...North east was my path this time...again through thick green forest. I could barely see my arms length infront of me. Suddenly out of no where a huge ogre stomped toward me makin' the ground and trees tremble as he moved. But e' did not prove worthy against my bow and was dealt with by a swift few arrows to his thick skull. He was felled immediatly.
Lootin' what gold the monster had i moved on back into the forest. Finally, I came to a dirt track...It lead east or west..I chose to follow it east and carried on my journey. I walked along the dirt track for what must have been the best part of half an hour before comin' to a three way crossing of roads. There was a sign on the corner. Minoc pointed straight on..I was intrigued, I had heard alot of miners stories about Minoc so I staggered on.
Ahead of me a while down the path came a clearin' but a foul sight did meet my eyes. It looked to be an Orc Slaughter Camp. Corpses flung all over the camp. Blood covered most of the camp's ground.
I waited there in the cover of the trees. But the orcs did not return, I felt I need'ed to do something but it was getting late and if i did not find shelter soon I would be lost in the night.
I hurried on along the dirt when finally a group of tents in a clearing. This must be the outskirts of minoc. I decided to see whether I could blag a tent from the gypsies. It must be more comfortable than sleepin' on me bedroll on the floor in the Forest...
A kind Gypsy called Chadwick showed me to a spare tent. I was feelin' pretty tired so decided to cook some grub.
So I ate up and went back to my tent. I stripped down, yawned and got into bed.
That was my journeys end...It was an eventful day.
Signed.
