[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 5651377, member: 60965"] [B]18th of Sorrow [/B][I]Habardeen Outpost, Verdant Belt, Balic Territory [/I] We're heading to Balic shortly and it's going to be busy once we get back, so this is probably my last time to write for a while. I'll write quickly. Our hunt was a success. We tracked the raiders that attacked the Tomblador caravan in spite of the siltstorm, though Eanus caught a fatal javelin at the outset of the fight. At least he redeemed his honor. We all have minor wounds - Hakar took the worst of it, though it was nothing compared to the gladiatorial scars that cover most of the rest of his body. Fortunately Darus's link to Andropinis gives him remarkable restorative powers. We'll still have scars, but the wounds themselves are healing remarkably quickly and well. There was a small fortune in coin on the raiders, as well as supplies and a few exotic goods that they probably stole from the caravan. These, of course, "were lost" for all intents and purposes when we return to Balic and report to Tomblador. I'll consider them donations from the Tombladors to their friendly local Praetor, maybe give them a few items that we recovered to make it less suspicious. More interesting is the rune-covered jagged copper fragment that was carefully wrapped in cloth and tucked in the raider leader's pouch. While I can't make heads or tails of the designs on it, I can't help but think that it was made for some larger purpose and also that it was some part of what the caravan raid was about. A curiosity and a mystery. I also acquired my first personal slave. We found the boy that reported to us about the raiders left to die in a gully after a severe beating. The guard said he "fell" and was useless because of it. Darus was able to patch him up, so, free slave. He'll make a useful page and messenger. I'll have to be careful about when I use Andropinis' gifts which, in my case, seem to be potent combat enchantments that flow through me instinctively when I fight. There's an addicting rush as the power courses through you, your sword so charged with energy that it glows like the sun then fades like a shadow, cutting through hardened chitin plate and shell shield alike like a knife through a sand plum.
