I went with my bardic friend, Vari, a Deneith mercenary, Justin, and Christina, a Silver Flame priest.    Our investigations revealed that a troop of chokers had taken up residence in an abandoned ruin of giant origin.  The battle with the chokers spilled out into the streets, many common folk as well as other adventurers saw the power of the Silver flame in action.  They watched in awe as the power of the Silver Flame and my divine might worked together to drive my allies further than they’d ever gone before.  In the end we cleared the area of chokers and recovered the scattered human remains for burial purification rites.    I take it that those in power back in Thrane had heard of our group’s exploits, for not soon afterword we had received a letter with a direct mission against the Cult of the Dragon Below.  It seemed they were harvesting dragonshards from the wilds of Xen’drik.  We trekked into the wilds, like the fool adventurers that sought riches.  In the end the cultists were dead and I found myself drawn to the life of the adventurer.  It certainly paid well and was exciting.  It never hurt anything to know that I was doing the will of the Silver Flame as well by estinguishing evil’s influence on the world.    Only one week ago I had received another letter, but this one from the Silver Flame church in Sharn.  They didn’t say what they wanted, just that I come to Sharn immediately.  I leave Stormreach how I came, admiring the architecture of an age long past, thinking of what the future may bring.[/sblock]</blockquote>
