Ferryman’s Log, Selected Excerpts (Auril 1222 PC)
9thAuril. Dranseri. I found a local boatman who was willing to guide Mr. Styx’s boat back to the Glade—Tilia, who accompanied me, whispered to me that his fee (25 gold) was exorbitant, but if that ensures that the boat is safely returned to my former master, it is coin well spent. Though I am no …

By way of context, I would like to outline the following: Together with several of my students, we were contracted by the local mining company to investigate issues with personnel …
What is Travis Anyway?
When I woke up, I had already been fighting for what I am told for a month. I never attempted to kill anyone, just knock them down. If I ever connected (again, I am told) and did damage, I would heal my opponent quickly. I woke up at some point. By woke up I mean …
