[QUOTE="Helspar, post: 1313083, member: 4849"] [i][b]The Journey's of Helspar Entry Four[/b][/i] I have more thoughts to pen. Many of them disturb me greatly and I write them here for posterity’s sake. I fear great evil may come of the actions of my companions and I do not know what to do about them. I am out of danger at least and have a chance to rest in the “Old Boar Inn” before continuing on my way. It has been two days ago since I last wrote and I hope that my actions since then do not come to folly, but of that I will let you dear reader be the judge. What had soon followed after my last entry was a heated argument. On one side was Wicker, Pick and myself. The lone mentallist opposed us. Valerick seemed too distant to take sides.
