Greetings, Friends. If in Loudwater you see a man named Michael, human man (description of the man), if he is being a piece of shit (especially to children- he has literally abandoned his daughter after her mother died for no greater of a reason than "I'm done with her," instead choosing to use his time getting his rocks off with a prostitute.) feel free to beat him senseless. He deserves it.

We were hired for this job by one Ms. Warmtop, asking for eyes of aberrations as ingredients. They sent us into the Direwood to find them. On the way, we found a group of wolves were eating the corpses of some elves. Mimsy and Sylk managed to distract them with illusions, drawing them away from the bodies. We checked them over, finding a few magic items on them.
After continuing, we eventually found a group of aberrations, which ended up surprisingly perilous, but with a combination of powerful magics and strong warriors we managed to defeat them and acquire the eyeballs needed.
Frankly, I should have written this a while back, but I have neglected that due to my personal affairs. But, here we are. We were hired to go to a town named Parnast, meeting with a man named Raggnar at a tavern called the Golden Tankard. He informed us of the current plight of the town- someone named Kagrota Threeteeth, Mother of Bones had laid siege to Parnast and attempt to starve the city. On top of that, there was someone in the city undermining Raggnar's authority. He suspected a man named Gundalin for this, though those around did not believe him. He hired us to investigate these occurences and to try to resolve that which we found.
When we went to bed, Surx apparently went off on their own to scout the area. They spotted a man who had gone missing, and that caused a bit of an uproar and a reunion. The next morning we found the horses had been poisoned. Fenris and I healed those we could, and one of us spotted the town apothecary in the crowd looking worried. As it turned out he was worried about the crowd blaming him for the poisonings. Surx and I determined the type of poison, and we discovered that he grew some in his backyard, and some had been harvested.
We then went to question Gundalin under a zone of truth, and found he didn't seem to have a hand in the issues of the city. Despite that, it seemed someone was sabotaging the carts. The others did some investigating in his son's room, and found some poison clippings and a set of shears. We found his son, Wallace, and interrogated him. He had a letter that seemed to be from his partner for a romantic getaway.
Fenris spotted someone in the treeline spying on us, and some of the group followed them, finding one of the other boys of the town. The boy freaked out, and confessed that he and his brother were trying to frame Wallace for the crimes in the town. At that point, smoke and screams came from Parnast, and the boy freaked out. Apparently Tove was being blackmailed by Kagrota, and was effectively forced to do this.
We returned to the town, finding it under attack by Kagrota and the others. We beat them back, allowing a few to flee, then got paid and wrapped up.
They tried to get me to swab the poop deck! The poop deck! How dare they?!
Sure, we were hired by a ship to try and bait pirates into attacking us to take them down, and were to aid around the ship some, but they ASKED ME TO SWAB THE POOP DECK! Absolutely insufferable. Preposterous! To think they would ask someone of my bearing to swab the thrice damned POOP DECK! First of all, these hands are far too delicate for manual labor. To dirty such is practically sinful! Secondly, IT WAS THE POOP DECK! YES I'M STILL ANGRY ABOUT IT ALMOST 3 WEEKS LATER DON'T JUDGE ME!
