What actually happened?
The Party that had only returned from a Beach Episode had suddenly gotten a visit by a man that begged for work, asking for a pay worth of 200gp. Having rested for an hour, the party ended up following and listening in more on the trouble that toils over the man that now is known as Roddrick. Following Roddrick's tale due to the worry of a party member that had went there prior (D), they all soon left and hurriedly went to the aforementioned location only to find a supposed Raggers, a used to be Good-willed Group that had gone recently Rogue.
Going further to follow the track of D, the Party soon met with another supposed Ragger that was badly beaten with only wounds that's visible by the blood that comes from their mouth, eyes and ears. With their information, the party soon dashed to the location and finds the rest of the Raggers that was hauling bodies onto the Wagon.
After a quick assault, the Party stopped them from leaving and saved not only D, as well as other Commoners and Civilians that was kidnapped. The Party then soon returned after delivering the Civilians and Bandits to their respective home / jail, as well as meeting up with Roddrick to update them on what had happened.

What actually happened?
A group of Adventurers got added by a group of Frogs to help them swim, after gathering 8 total of people they set out towards the Beach where the party got ambushed (sorta, not really) by a group of Were, the party does ends up attacking (OOC, D) and (IC, Wan) the Were-People. Before suddenly getting ambushed (sorta, again) by a bunch of Crocodiles. Giant Crocodiles.
Took a bit but Party ended up eradicating all of them except for 1 Crocodile who is now named Guppy by Elliana with the help of Clothilde. The party soon then return with the small Froggies and received payment as thanks.
GM: MechaWhere did you go?
Village > Swamp
Who did you meet?
What actually happened?
The Party had accepted a job requesting for Adventurers to help their village in gathering medicinal herbs due to a spreading sickness. The location of said herb could only be found by going through the encampment of some fish folks called Locathah. Some of the party members bargained with the Locathah which then they accepted only if we remove an obstacle that they're facing.
The Giant Squid that the party fought had turned one of the party member (MorBan) against the party while taking out Elliana by grabbing her 50ft up in the sky and crashing down. TLDR, Elliana WWE-d the Squid after being revived and healed by D and Wan (she feels apologetic about). It then died and the party returned with the herbs in tow to be replanted and farmed in a different location so the Villagers won't need to bother the Locathah anymore.
GM: Kid_Where did you go?
To a different settlement / trip
Who did you meet?
What actually happened?
The party had accepted a job that was posted by a Merchant to help Escort them to a different settlement where his shop is located. Since he's transporting his goods, dangers may lurk.
On the travel, the party had to camp around 7 days/nights which where the party and D had found out that the carravan had been followed and an ambush was prepared.
After a friendly conversation with one of the bandit that D was able to capture, an arrow flew past the party and hit the captive turning them unable to provide the party with any further information. Due to this, D had went back to one of the 2 Merchant escorts by the name Herschel and interrogated them on what they had snuck in within the Merchant's boxes. It appears that the Bandits had followed and planned an ambush due to the item that Herschel brought.
The item soon then was kept by Elliana with her newly given Bag of Holding from D, and the party ended up fighting the ambush well prepared. The battle went and ended smoothly, everyone did their part very well. The only thing Elliana had done was to Bless the party members as preparation of combat, and casting Guiding Bolt to wipe the presumably Bandit Leader clean. Avoiding them using the Merchant and Escorts as hostages.
Once that is all done, the travel crew was able to proceed safely after some fixing by the party and arrived safely.

Today i've been hired by this man named Takashi, they seemed rather polite and nice. To himself and doesn't speak much. He doesn't hit that well, but was capable at protecting himself. I only found out later that apparently he hired me to help everyone in general instead of only him, what a generous heart!! I charged him only 2gp since i like him..
But besides that, Uncle Raum had hired the group of Adventurers to help his new good friend Owlbear Mom. She's.. protecting her egg. Well.. hers that was being targeted by a group of Goblins, Hobgoblins and a dead Adventurer. They were all under the Hivemind sickness. It was a really rough battle, i disliked every second of it.. but also it got me thinking, are every combat without Dax will be like this? Grueling and tiring? Every second i feel more grateful for his existence in previous jobs.. perhaps that's why he's limping due to the Goblin encounter he had shared tale prior? Does everyone treats him like this? I get it.
Even though the group is big with a few more new faces and talented individuals, the battle was still difficult. I.. .. don't want to remember the exact scenes, but i'm starting to question on the decision i've made by leaving home. Is this all worth it? .. I know why i did it. So i should try to hold out longer..
I have yet to receive and letter from home, it is ocean apart.. i wonder when will i receive it? Or if i will.
(The rest of the note are scribbles of Math of how much she charged who- who she healed and if there are price discounts.)

The birds was chirping, the sky was bright without a storm in sight- yet i somehow found my self going on another job with D!!! (frantic scribbles). I follo- was invited by Sami to go with him for a job and investigate further since he hired me and took my friend discount offer. D was following.. i guess... and we somehow met up with Julibert! This clown is everywhere!
We spoke with a Hill Giant, and .. i can't deny my longing of home.. ANYWAY! We went to this farm, spoke with this 'Pak Lang', went to this barn to deal with some infected bears- .. that was... an ARDUOUS TASK, I HATE IT HATE IT HATE I HATE IT I HATE IT I-
(The letter stops abruptly before continuing in a new section rather tidily)
I hate that i spoke harshly. But the task was done very safely and clearly.. I've learn a side of Father Hoilsat that.. i don't think i favor..
... .... i will write to home this week.

I feel as though perhaps fate keeps bringing me somehow meeting the same people again and again, either that, or it's because Dawnsport is just THAT small still. Coming out of that shop, i've ended up seeing Dax hiring even more Adventurers, what was it... he's a Guard Captain or something? I could be mistaken, but if my memory is correct, what does this entail that the Captain is going around doing tasks with Adventurers instead of the town guards? Probably a good call seeing Adventurers seems way more eager to work for a few extra coins as well as the talents they hold... i don't count cause i'm just a wandering healer! Anyway..
I'm not sure what or why they wanted to revisit the 'witch' location in the forest, but i ended up followi- i mean, hired to come with. I really intended to just keep watch and be there like a field Doctor... upon arrival, we ended up seeing a REAALLY BIIIGGG TREANT! Still not sure why i was the only one excluded from the little questionnaire game.. After a bit of a convo, the Witch revealed themselves and introduced herself as Nana Denure and Brynn the Treant. They will soon join Dawnsport, currently coming back with us as i write this!
Ah, i almost forgot- the rather large Owlbear that appeared out of nowhere and lunged at the Treant was a big surprise, but.. after seeing the Treant's entry and size? The Owlbear was cute more so than anything. Odd that they're going 'crazy' it seems from what the others mentioned? Ah, besides that.. i must say, i find it displeasing that D has the same line of thoughts as me, i can't deny we have the same nature.. i guess..
Today i'll focus on my studies under Nana, i really hope she's going to be a good teacher for me to learn Herbalism..!

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.

I left the tavern after speaking with another to see a group of people that was nearby a screaming bottle, out of curiosity i stood nearby to take a peek before getting pulled with everyone into inside the bottle-
It was a magic bottle! Who would've thought! I had not come by any magical tools ever since leaving- and even then, i wouldn't really categorize faith as 'magical tool' ... anyway, i met a few individuals i've seen before, now i know for sure that one is called Beatrix as the old man is called Father Hoilsat. And two new faces, a fox that they called Aiden and a man called D. He is a scary one..
We all had to face some sort of trial after standing around for almost perhaps 5 to 10 minutes, fought a few weird things and then was spat back out afterward! Thankfully Father Hoilsat stood there to take the attacks as well as blocking and attracting them away from me.. I charged him with a friend discount of 50% !! . .. i should write down which percentage discount is which..
I have yet to decide whether i'd write a letter to send home or not. Perhaps when the time is right then i might. I hope there will be no more of such surprises any further..

I managed to land a job after successfully sneaking onto a random ship i picked, given that i was just there at the right time and place.. and decided to stick to one of the people in this odd group of Adventurers.. BUT! I count my luck where there is luck! Because now, i am heavier by not 10, but 12 gold coins (and a candle-) thanks to the one called Mika!
Had not realize that i would be seeing a 'Prince' ... not sure if they really really really are an actual Prince.. but.. everyone seems to be reacting differently, some in-awe, some disregarding, some disdain and some respectfully.. My heart was racing too much and too often for my own health that everything seems to be such a blur, even right now i'm writing this Diary the side of the port facing the Ocean. What was it that happened again?
Ah right, so... some rich looking person came up with some guards.. gave us a job (thankfully i stayed quiet and stuck around, apparently that worked), we found some person named Pippin (they said he had a few hair, that's a lie! He has a lot!) and retrieved the chest that the rich person lost, and then we got paid.
I can't believe i've managed to survive thus far.. i wonder what Mother would think if she heard this? I will consider writing to her..
