[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3084975, member: 30035"] [b]Continuing adventures[/b] 12 Lharvion, 998 YK From: Caelen Siorath Trolanport Zilargo To my family; This trip is turning out to involve more of my skills than just my expertise with a blade. We got out of the forest safely and said farewell to our guide. After we'd been on the road a few hours we caught sight of a black coach. I don't know how it got ahead of us. We planned to ride ahead to the bridge, pretending to be ordinary travelers. As we picked up speed to pass the coach, another rider broke from the trees and galloped ahead of us. A bolt of lightning from the coach knocked her out of the saddle. Grinner stopped to heal her. I spurred my horse to a gallop as the coach started to flee. Then a large pack of wolves ran out of the trees on the other side of the road and attacked me! They brought my horse down, and by the time I'd dealt with most of them our prey had escaped, abandoning their coach. The gnome says the man we're after is a vampire - a real one it seems, since he actually had a coffin in the coach. We decided to stay the night in a ruined tower. We had to fight off several giant bats first. Grinner took time to smash the coffin. The other rider has joined us for now - another half-orc, this time a female. We forded the river further on since the bridge was too damaged to use. On the way back I saw a huge wolf sniffing around the abandoned coach. En route to Trolanport Grinner heard that someone had stolen a coffin, and also that two strangers bought a horse and cart. We knew we must be on the right trail. Trolanport is mostly water. I hadn't seen much of this city on my way to Sharn. You have to get around by boat. The gnome has taken the lead since this is her land. The vampire is meeting someone here. The gnome found out that it's the ambassador from Aundair. There's a party tonight at the embassy. We're going to sneak in via magic and try to catch the vampire when he arrives. The gnome's pretending to be some noblewoman - Grinner and I will be her bodyguards, and the human will be a servant. The changeling will get in its own way. I won't be allowed to carry any weapons into the party. I don't know how I'm going to catch a vampire without my swords, but in Coriandor's name I'll do my best. This party was a fancy-dress affair. I had to wear a mask. It was dull until suddenly some man started brandishing a black sword.
