[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3268087, member: 30035"] [b]Letter number 1[/b] [I]All of my write-ups of this campaign have been done in the form of letters from my character to her never-seen brother.[/I] Dearest brother; I have a great deal to tell you. I have apparently become part of an adventuring party. I did wish to explore beyond the Vesve, but this wasn’t my plan for doing so. Still, it’s good to have companions for travel, and they are such interesting companions. Let me tell you about them. It was during Growfest that I first met the twins Ninad and Shishir. They came from an isolated monastery among the Copper Mountains. They are also spellcasters of a sort, but they are not wizards. They are simply out to see the world. I was impressed by their friendly and inquisitive manner and agreed to escort them around Highfolk when I met them outside the Lake Tree. Our first activity together was to seek a moderately-priced establishment in which to have a midday meal. As we made our way across the city to the Green Inn, we observed a group of snow barbarians from distant lands making an unexpected visit to Highfolk. We also heard of several opportunities for adventurous travelers. A sage sought for adventurers to hunt for a lost continent. A reward was offered for the long-missing magic sword of a former king. And a trophy hunt was being prepared to pursue a rare albino oktobear. This last I found most interesting, for the hunt was to take place within the Vesve Forest. I was concerned that the large prize offered for the capture of the oktobear would draw unsavory or foolhardy folk into the forest. When we arrived at the Green Inn, we encountered a man who was transporting a large group of small animals, which were evidently intended to become wizards’ familiars. The man somehow managed to drop all the cages and most of his animals escaped. The twin monks and I helped him to recover them all. After this brief adventure, while we walked through the inn, Shishir observed a man dressed all in bright green garments who appeared to walk into a tree and vanish! Shishir reported that the green-clad man had held a cranberry out to the tree before he disappeared. The young monk became so curious about this incident that he purchased a cranberry muffin and approached the tree with it. His twin followed suit, and feeling somewhat responsible for the two young humans, I did the same. The tree turned out to be a magical portal that transported us deep into the Vesve Forest. Upon our arrival in the forest we were greeted by a being known as the Lord of the Green, who is reputed to be an important figure among the forest’s fey folk. Though the fey are capricious, the Lord of the Green met us with goodwill. The twin monks naively offered him their service, and I felt compelled to do so as well. He seemed pleased by this offer. He told us that he was concerned by the numbers of orcs appearing in the southern part of the forest. My hatred of orcs made me eager to find out why the orcs are coming so far south. Not far from where we met the Lord of the Green, we stumbled upon a band of orcs and fell upon them. Both Shishir and I were badly wounded, but the three of us succeeded in slaying all the foul orcs. We found that they had attacked a lone human and had left him near death. The Lord of the Green helped us to carry the man back to the Green Inn through the tree portal. Once we arrived, the innkeeper’s wife sent for a healer. She also asked us to keep the fey portal our secret. I'll write more later. Your sister, Lothiriel [/QUOTE]
