The chase has ended, but the true hunt is just beginning. Under the oppressive canopy of the Wyldwood, the party stands over their bound captives, the flickering campfire casting long, dancing shadows against the ancient trees. With the location of the Painted Fang Encampment nearly within reach, the air grows heavy with the smell of damp earth and the distant, rhythmic beat of goblin drums.

The Diary of Juliber Droppinton,
After the Circus disband, I finally got a job from the adventure guild, they told me to reach to Dawnport as there an urgent quest in need.
after days of travel, I had reach Dawnport tarven. there are many adventures there, a pair of dwarf walk in and start mumbling , than this silver knight Dex invite us to join their party, at first Im excited i finally land a quest, later i learn how cruel is the world.
i remember back in the circus, they told me not to get near adventurers and mercenaries, the circus always describe them as the murder, now i can understand what they mean, the adventure party i joined indeed a blood thirsty bunch. I already fell into sin that beyond redemption, and that is I took a life by my own clown hands. May any god forgive my murderous sin that i commit to survived.
Im sorry Mr Bug bear that i shot your head.
Im sorry Mr Goblin that i burn your face.
since I took this life, although beyond redemption, but will continue walk down this path to survived.
Dear Circus freaks, I miss you guys.
PS Droppinton,
The Diary of Today
- Met up at the tavern where Dax and the others seemed to be in a deep conversation about the goblin camp I wanted to beat up! My chest was pounding to know that it's FINALLY time. I didn't listen much to the details though, since I was catching up with Elliana. There were some greenhorns included, guess I'll have to step up.
- Our party departed from the town but not before bringing the captive goblin with us! He was resistin' alot but we got some good info out of him, the bugbear leader, no traps in the camp and the general direction. Tied him up to the tree before I went, hopefully I don't forget.
- (Rumor) We already decided to skip on this upon hearing the rumor while back in the tavern but when you see the treehouse first-hand it really is FUCKIN' creepy. Some woman was cackling nearby, and it was in the middle of the freaking forest! Weird thing is, not even bugs made any sound when we came close. I do NOT want to deal with any supernaturals anytime soon, we had Father Hoilsat back in that haunted house and even then we can't figure out how to defeat it. I mean, how do you punch a ghost?
- We followed 2 goblin patrols that we guessed came from the camp we're looking for, we were stalking it good up until Dax stepped on a branch. I stepped in immediately to grapple one of them gremlins so they can't escape. D got the other one and we interrogated those 2 aswell. Learnt more about the camp, one of them named Jerry wanted to join our civilization. I mean, why not? I left those two tied up by the tree too so we can pick them up later.
- By the time we reached the camp it was nearing dawn, and we still had the shadows of the dark by our side. I had Dax act as bait, making noise by the front-gate since he's our most reliable member, while the others flanked from the sides. Am I a genius or what? My experience came in handy. Immediately went for the long-range archers by the watch-towers since I'm the fastest member while the others covered the other goblins, team-work wise we didn't do too bad! One of the greenhorns, Juli had been reluctant to harm even against the goblins. I call it inexperience but what do you know? He manned the ballista and I immediately grappled the bugbear leader so he had the clear shot. Juli went in for the kill! Didn't know he had that in him.
- Finished with the elimination of the camp, no survivors except for one of the wolves, which I will try to tame!
May 13, xxxx
An awkward and exhausting day is the best way to describe this... i had not expected a life such as this when i decided to take the steps towards what i'd assume 'adulthood' would be. Then again, maybe that's my fault? Adventuring and Adventurer- those two are similar yet so starkingly different..
I had been lucky to snatch another job, while in the tavern with D. The food tasted awkward due to the awkward situation and conversation. All i know is that this D person is someone that knows what they're doing, and if survival is their top-priority, then we may have something in common. I instinctively followed him around due to this- now that i think about it, shouldn't he be thanking me that we all got this job?
It wasn't only the two of us, quite the few others had also come with to a new task that Dax had given us. It seemed like something dire? Oh! Beatrix was there as well- another familiar face as well as ones i've only seen today. We were task to clear out a.. few? Goblin encampments. Well.. it was supposed to be one, but it seems there are more than what we thought is going on. Simple things are not so simple..
We made a camp on the way after Beatrix and D had caught the two goblins that ran away, scared them by torturing and tickling them. ... ... now that i remember this, D scares me even more..!! There was also the Orc that fell asleep, the Clown that wears their heart on their sleeves, and a very quiet individual.. i think i heard him spoke once- or twice? The attack on the camp went rather very extremely smooth, except for the part where Dax was beaten back-and-forth.. .. .. right.. i also did.. that.. .. i don't want to think about it.
Today i am sure that i won't be writing to home.
