I talked with the bartender every day hoping for news of their arrival.The bartender seemed a good sort but he always looked at me strangely when I asked for my brandy. Midafternoon this very day the party I have been awaiting arrived, but not to the warmest welcome I’ve seen.As I was walking down the road to the Bloody Cutlass I saw someone who was a mirror image of me exit the tavern and then blur into the crowd. The Gondsman Zamtap followed from inside the tavern only to have a fireball erupt around him. Following this various assailants appeared to attack Zamtap and the party he travels with. I rushed into the combat to aid those I have been sent to help. The combat was over fairly quickly thanks to my new friend Jebodiah, who I believe was the one person who swung the battle in our favour. The cleric of Gond himself proved to be as inept in combat as he was back at the temple of Gond when he was still studying, fleeing from the melee into the tavern to heal his own wounds he exposed the partys mage, an air Genasi by the name of  Aeron Greycastle to an overbearing assault by the would be assailants strongest combatant. Struck down by one blow Aeron would surely have died if not for the timely intervention of the Dwarf Barbarian Jebodiah.Anyhow the fact that we won the battle with no fatalities on our side was luck as far as I can tell. How this party has accomplished what I have been told is beyond me, their inability to work as a unit will be their undoing.One of my first aims is to try and work on their combat effectiveness, and form them into a fluid unit. How well I will manage in this task I can’t say as I’ve never tried to teach others how to work together in a fight before. After the combat was over I used my divine gift from the Goddess Sune to heal Jebodiah who bore enough wounds to bring him near death. When Jebodiah was a little healthier, we both entered the tavern for what I believe to be a well deserved drink.As the rest of the party re-entered the tavern, Zamtap approached the bar where both Jebodiah and myself were downing our respective drinks. As he approached the bar Jebodiah started to question as to who had attacked them, But Zamtap seemed to ignore the person who had saved the entire party and instead asked me if I was the one sent by his temple.It's good to know exactly where you stand with people, but Zamtap’s attitude needs to change. I reluctantly gave him the pistol and components his temple had sent for him, along with a verbal dressing down.The party which seems to have no name has agreed to stay here for the next several days to perform personal errands and tasks which they deem important. As such I shall remain here until they continue on their journey.Yours LovinglyYour nephewEdward HamiltonDM's Notes:This is how Dan/Ash has decided to write his journal, in the form of letters sent back to his aunt on Lantan (who is also a priestess of Sune).</blockquote>
