At least Mammoth hide parchment is waterproof...
~~~
July 7th, 3104, approximately 2:10am... Here's to the second attempt at page two...this time on some mammoth hide parchment. (Guard Colin spilled a quarter bottle of Kalish all over the other one, and it's almost unreadable.) I sort of got stuck pulling an "unofficial" graveyard shift here at the Toll Booth, partly because these two here are completely wasted. You see, I broke out the rest of that bottle of Kalish that I'd shared with Krak the other night...so now these two are passed out, and I'm here just waiting for sunrise... Earlier: "You spit in this?" Colin quipped. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] "No." [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] (He takes a swig...) "But a Gnoll probably did..." [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] "?!?!" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] (He spits out the drink.) ...I go on to explain how the sweetest Kalish is made by Gnolls, and part of that reason is because of their saliva affecting the fermentation process. "...No shit?" "Nope, just spit..." [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] "Do they have jesters in Halas, or only when you're around?" I fashion an ornate piece from my medicine bag and crumble some dried leaf into it, topped with a dusting of a fine tan-colored powder, and offer it to Valon: "I call this one my 'Krak' pipe..." [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] "Come again?" "...He gave it to me; Krak Windchaser." (After a short silence, everyone erupts into laughter.) ~~~

At ease, soldier...
~~~
Thursday(?), August 5th, 3104, 11:20pm... This entry is being written from a rather cozy, private room in West Commons, the reason being the giant //GRIFFIN WARNING// issued for E.C. before returning back to the barracks... That said, there's something sort of...thrilling...about being able to fashion a directive "by Order of Royal Decree..." which forces "...the lawful and dutiful owner to relinquish full and total control of all properties, habitations, facilities, and to tender any or all possessions deemed necessary or suitable for purposes of quartering and the continued operational support of any or all battalion commanders, chiefs, officers, guards, and both ranked and unranked active or reserve militia members for a duration not to exceed the duly specified or previously agreed upon duration (as listed)..." Naturally, we didn't have any resistance... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] It's hard to believe that it's been about a month already with the militia, I'm hoping to procure an advancement ahead of the original terms of enlistment. The pay is substandard, but the shelter and subsistence benefits more than make up for it. Someone from the battalion got a glimpse of my Gnoll Fang Necklace and was curious, so I said that I used to dabble in hobby Veterinary Dentistry while in Blackburrow...

I'm not an author...
(This one is kind of out of character: "Care for MOAR?!")
I'll take a hiatus until further notice... | ||

WANTED: Dead or... DEAD
~~~
September 19th, 3104, approximately 9:30pm. "Do you have anything to say for yourself?" ...those were the words that echoed inside my mind for the entire night. "This looks really bad for the entire militia. You do know that, right?" There wasn't much I could say, and there was still evidence of dried blood on my spear. I tried to explain the situation to the best of my ability. "I was just sitting down and organizing my backpack under a torch. The next thing I knew, I had a knife to my neck..." A human rogue had attacked me just hours prior, I had no choice but to kill her. The incident was completely unprovoked, but apparently the militia doesn't want too much blood on their hands right now, at least not when it comes from the tip of *my* spear... Luckily, I didn't receive any demerits or unfair punishment; mostly just a few harsh words and a furlough for the next shift. You could say that I ultimately did pay for my murderous action, as I was essentially slain by a Griffin shortly afterward. I finally came to at the base of the Commons tunnel, but I could barely remember anything that had transpired. Apparently, an icky, "scaled one" managed to find my lifeless corpse near an Orc encampment and dragged me to safety. I have no idea why he actually did this, but seeing that he appeared to practice necromancy, it wasn't nearly that shocking... I've been reminiscing a bit about Everfrost and Halas lately; probably something to do with the explicit lack of snow and ice here. I've been hearing stories of Velious and Thurgadin, and to be painfully honest, I'm kind of jealous. I think I'd fit in nicely over there, but only time will tell, I imagine. For now, my work here is with the militia... ~~~ [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] (Receiving a verbal reprimand from Armorer Dellin for murdering a player in self-defense)

I have read all of your chapters so far, and found them highly entertaining and fun to read!
A much different style of writing compared to the others who have created RP-themed stories, which makes yours stand out to me. I also like the way you style and format the actual text you wrote in, that was a really nice touch that added an element of substance that goes beyond just the well-written story. I agree with the above, please create your own thread with this wonderful story and character! You might find more people will read it that way, as you unfortunately attached your nice story within a thread I created. (Not that I mind, but you deserve more attention for your creation and some people may not even bother to see it as their personal feelings may hinder them from reading a thread I have created.) | ||
