It's as if someone is just making stuff up and then someone else is making up more stuff and we end up lurching about going nowhere in particular. These are nice enough guys and Jeli isn't so bad when you get to know her but why are we here?. What is our manifold destiny? And when's lunch?This wasn't what I came for, thought Jeli to herself. Way back on page two, I was supposed to meet three heroic adventurers who would accompany me on a quest of great importance. But all I found was this bunch of clowns and there's no sign of a quest. It's just chaos, and not in a good way. But as she voiced these concerns inwardly, another thought struck her. What if this was the very thing we were supposed to fight? Must we look deep within ourselves to find our true purpose? Am I an existentialist? And how would I know?Nord counted the loose change in his pouch. It didn't take long. He pulled a wry face. Whatever they were doing, it didn't seem to be very lucrative. They hadn't even taken any captives, let alone plundered chests full of gold and jewels. This was no life for a pirate. An epigram came to mind, that he thought he must have heard somewhere but couldn't remember where. We are becalmed on the Sea of Possibilities. He liked that. It summed up the situation nicely. He wondered if he could sell it to Od. A good epigram must be worth 1gp at least.I knew I should have stayed home, thought Herewulf gloomily. Chopping wood is satisfying. You put in the effort and you get chopped wood. Here, we put in loads of effort and get ... not a lot. Where did it all go wrong? Shouldn't I be pursuing my ideals? If it comes to that, what are my ideals? No, that's bad thinking. I'm a sergeant, I follow orders and pass them on to the soldiers. Well, no-one's been giving me any orders and I haven't got any soldiers. So that's it. I'm not needed here. I can just go home. But ..."I've been thinking," said four voices simultaneously.</blockquote>
