I don't know how else to title these notes as with numbers. It works as well as any other method, except for the date, but I don't carry a calendar with me so that's actually impractical. The Lady Elysia said I should keep notes, so this is it, I guess, I hope I didn't misunderstand her.
I've been in Oaklore Keep for almost a week now. My brother was extremely right when he said it was so much more action-packed here out west. Already I've picked up a lot of experience working for the knights, some I don't even want. I picked up some new weapons doing fieldwork with some elementals, a new experience, but they weren't much stronger than the Gorillaphants in the forest, and cleared out the cook's gardens in exchange for free food. But a couple of the knights are pretty gross because no girls have been stationed out here in a long time. Captain Rolith keeps them away and I've been given a bed inside the actual Keep, not just in the barracks, where even Rolith sleeps. Better than camping out in the Maguswood like I've been doing.
The Captain is a great man! He's taken me out into the woods multiple times to help him clear out Sneevils and bandits, and it's just reinforced my opinion of him. A great warrior, a great person, he's helped me out and given me training and paid me for my work and given me a nice place to sleep and advice. The best person I've met since I've traveled, and he feels like my only friend in Oaklore. The librarian is a dweeb and the knights are idiots. Actually, it's just reinforcing my desire to be a Rogue. Rolith and getting paid is the only thing making it worthwhile to stay here instead of heading back home. Because, I forgot to say, they won't let me cross the bridge. A hydra is nesting in the falls and a couple of senior knights have died already. Sir Pent at the bridge won't let me even try to sprint across the bridge. I've got to figure a way across, though. I need to get to Falconreach. Lady Elysia said I needed to, to talk to the weird little red guy. To find the box.
Oaklore is an absolutely beautiful place, and the forest and the falls is gorgeous. I've even seen a couple of dragons around like you wouldn't back home. The most fascinating thing I've come across in my week and a half of "adventure" is the Dragonrider guarding the gate. I've only seen him a couple of times, but his dragon is nearly always there. Maybe he can take care of the hydra for me.
Dragons lead me to the strangest thing. I did meet Lady Elysia in the woods. She's the one that pointed me to Oaklore, she and the weird red moglin with her. I saved them, me, already being a hero! -- from these idiot couple of bandits and the "leader of the Darkwolf band, Prince Drakath" but it's just confusing me more. Man, the Prince needs to learn how to fight. Just a couple of well-placed daggers
A blow-by-blow:
Twilly was chanting in the background. I couldn't tell if it did anything, but I drew back my dagger and sent it flying into the bandit (thanks Dad!). His armor was soft and supple and split and I sent the other flying at Drak-wimp, who deflected it with his sword. I ducked and rolled to dodge the mace and picked up the daggers to deflect the prince.
He tried to kick me and the other bandit was swinging but I spun and stabbed my dagger into the bandit's leg and hit him with the butt of the hilt in the forehead. He'll be seeing stars for a week. Rolith chained him in the dungeon. Drakath had recovered his balance from that stupid kick but just a couple of well-aimed dagger tosses and he was sent running for cover.
Twilly said something about a Black Dragon Box, and I got a good look at it when I kicked Drakath's butt. Then the Lady let it be stolen by a Sneevil. "Nothing's lost forever" -- the Lady pointed me towards Falconreach (where I'm going anyway) to find it -- and I felt drawn to it, somehow. It seems like a good sign. I am going to be a hero. After the hydra gets out of the way.
