Role

Chapter 2

It's been ages since I've been the only Elite within the guild at Voralian. I
wonder how much more I'll need to donate past fifteen hundred gold to make
the Patron see me? The other Elite ended his life soon after I'd passed his
donations, though I doubt that's the true reason.

The rumor from the Fortress is that one of our Heralds is darkness itself.
Not likely. Anyways, I told them the same thing Sila had told me to, even
before I'd spoken to her. He's a Herald. Not a Maran. So, now? Deal with it.
The young elf that I spoke to was a little harsh with raging war on the Inn
just on his behalf. No one realizes? Would be interesting, at least.

The Heralds, for their own parts, are working as hard as possible to update
the Lyceum for the benift of all. I'm glad that I'd gotten the Lotus Lady's
story from Mende before she died. I couldn't sit down and talk to any of
these new Marans for more than a minute. I heard that Zesam, the so called
Shooloo, is working on a story about the Diamond in the Rough, but I haven't
been able to confirm it with them, due to the fact that I've called them by
their birthname.... twice? Yes, twice I think. Anyways, it's a pretty name.
Much better than Shooloo.

That broken headed gnome still has his bounty of two hundred gold coins at
the bounty office in Galadon, but no one seems to want it. Like I told the
Shadow Lord... two hundred gold is almost an insult. If it were any kind of
real money, I'd just do myself in with something dramatic and claim it
myself. Hint, hint, gnome. Place more gold!

I got Crimson Scourged for the first time in my life by a vampire. Thanks,
Shalif. Heh. I love that bard. All those Imperials, really.

Counterfeiting hasn't served me as well as I'd assumed it would, though it's
probably just under the placing of not robbing anyone who's standing still
enough to notice the theft. Congratulations, Sokde. You didn't even reveal
yourself when you stoled that axe! Seems to be the likely story. I find
myself stealing coins more and more, because you'd be suprised how many
people actually pay attention to their gold and silver.

Trying to plan some events at the Inn now, managing the museum and updating
the Lyceum. Still waiting for word from Maethron for his event and what the
Dwarf and I need to cook. Speaking of which, the dwarf is quite pleasing,
though it's reminded me that we don't have a forge at the Inn. So, another
idea there.

All in all, I'm fairly pleased in-so-far with the pattern of my life, and
wouldn't feel so bad if I only live another week. It's becoming rather
schedualed, and I don't like it at all. Luckily, random occurances are what I
live for, and I've not given up the search for them... however redundant that
is....
