Ch-ch-changes

by Never Nestknitter

Well... I either broke the world or I fixed it. Maybe both? We saw different points in our lives... and suddenly we were there. The worst day of my life. The day that changed everything. I didn't even think. I just ran. I ran to that tree and yelled at my siblings and I to go hide in the woods. And they did... and I remember it. But I also remember not running. How can both be true? I know I wasn't in my right mind, I just acted without thinking... Why didn't I run to my house and save my parents too? I was just filled with so much rage and sorrow I acted without thinking and killed Chradixra 24 years early. Now everything is changing and everything is muddled. My siblings are alive. That thought fills me with so much happiness. They're alive and they had great and happy lives. Lives I was a part of... but I only have faint dream like memories of. I have memories that don't feel like my own and memories I am sure happened, but didn't. Am I even me anymore?

The major events and journals in Never's history, from the beginning to today.

Mad as a Box of Frogs

I was so mad I coulda chewed up nails and spit out a barbed wire fence! I wasn't there to see it my own self but Abby told me all about it. He told me Rerae tried to throw him against a wall and chew him out. Said some powerful ugly things to him. I supp...

02:17 pm - 21.01.2023

Titles and a Keep

I asked the Everlasting Flame to help us to cure Abby. I didn't know if it would work, me not being special to her like Abby is and all. But I did ask on his behalf. A feather floated down from nowheres. I don't know if it was a sign or what so I grabbed ...

02:05 pm - 14.01.2023

It's Been a While

A lot has happened since my last entry. One day we saw the white stag and we followed it to some underbrush. Here we found an elf who said his nae was Thistle. He told us the stag had saved him as a child. He decided to stay with us for a couple of days. ...

04:49 pm - 07.01.2023

Nirksi's Safe House part 2

We found a room with a summoning circle. That was mighty unsettling. We also found a wine cellar, and helped ourselves to a very old bottle of wine. Next there was a room with a hole in the floor. Once we finished lookin at that hole, we found a room ...

02:16 pm - 12.11.2022

Nirksi's Safe House

Abby got called away. I sure do miss him. I don't know how long he'll be gone, but I have to hold out hope he'll be back. Blaghin told us to prevent the assassination, then investigate Nirksi's safe house but not to fight the Howling Wind. Then we're ...

04:23 pm - 05.11.2022

We're Spies!

We reached Amborn. We heard of several different people being eaten, so I 'spose we'll look into that. We also heard that a black dragon had been spotted in Romania. Hell. Least we know where to find her now. My desire to end her has been growing stronge...

02:09 pm - 29.10.2022

Shady Folk

Eventually we ended up at Phase Spider's Venom. The barkeep looked at my crest and told me I should leave. I said I would, except we had a few questions first. Next thing I knew we were fighting. Abby went down for a second. Someone, maybe Arc, got him up...

06:18 pm - 08.10.2022

Family Visits

Abby went to his mothers party. I think it went well for him. Arc worked on making a new sword for Barg that was just like the one we just found for him. I went to the feast. While I was enjoying the feast festival, the feastival, if you will, Barg so...

05:37 pm - 01.10.2022

A Conversation with a Giant Dead Tree

Once we got to lookin at the dead tree monster, Arc realized he knew who it was. Asharneth, a druid, had visited Arc'd Master and they got to arguing. Asharneth said the master was committing crimes against nature. At the time, they were not a giant tree ...

12:15 am - 24.09.2022

The End of Asharreth

Soon after Blaghin, Eirk, and Winnie arrived, we heard a bellow that only could be made by the mutant treant we intended to end. It didn't come in the first wave. The first wave was some treants and awakened trees. I assume they were meant to weaken o...

02:47 pm - 17.09.2022

Barg's Back

We returned to Shirris with the bodies of Barg and Phindwillis. The guards buried Phindwillis under a big beautiful maple tree just outside of town. Then we took Barg's body to a chapel where I asked them to bring Barg back to us. They were reluctant, but...

01:30 am - 28.08.2022

Phindwillas

We reached Shirriss and the people at the wall called up that nice Elven lady, Phidwillas. She asks for our help as the town has been attacked by Treants, and they are wearing down her troops. She wants us to accompany her to find the source. Since we a...

03:19 pm - 27.08.2022

A New Friend

Abby wen to do some studying on the guide. While he did that the rest of us went shopping. Barg and some of the others found some useful items, but anything I could use was too expensive. Instead I used some of the party funds to buy us some more healing ...

02:19 pm - 20.08.2022

Terrible Days

It started one morning when we awoke to mournful cries. A dozen or so babies had all been slain. They were found with their hearts ripped out of their chests. An unthinkable heartbreak for those families. Abby, of course, prayed for all of em, and I joine...

03:24 pm - 13.08.2022

My Most Recent Failure

We had a chance to kill that BLACK FUCKING DRAGON, and it got away. Again. I failed the twins, again. I really wanted to be able to tell them the bitch was dead. I know they don't remember anything about the attack, thank the Everlasting Flame, but as lon...

04:25 pm - 06.08.2022

Flower and Travels

I found a pretty nifty flower that I wanted to give to Barg for his new lady friend. It was in a dangerous spot though so Rankle used his magic hand to get it. Right after I felt mighty funny, and Rankle and Arc both seemed to be affected even worse than ...

02:55 pm - 02.07.2022

An Awakening?

I've never been much for religion. Nothin' against it, it just weren't my cup of tea neither. But then I died and that white stag told me I wasn't done... and somehow through his connection to the Everlasting Flame, Abby brought me back. Then there was th...

01:31 am - 25.06.2022

Ciendris

One night during out trek to Ciendris, We got attacked by three half-ogres. Another night, we were attacked by a buncha ghouls. We held our own both times. We arrived in Ciendris in the evening and went straight to the inn where I was supposed to mee...

02:16 pm - 18.06.2022

My Family

The twins are alive... I can't even explain what I'm feelin'. I never thought I'd see any of my family again and here I find two of them! Like me, they got adopted by a kind stranger. She's a Wood Elf by the name of Krisna. She's given the twins new names...

08:59 pm - 10.06.2022

...

The twins live. My heart is full....

12:00 am - 29.05.2022

Barg's Orcs

Alright, so in my last entry I promised to talk about our latest visit to Shira. Ya see, the first time I met her, I thought about givin her all my hair then and there. But I didn't... I was selfish and vain. Then I died. And came back. It made me realize...

03:02 pm - 28.05.2022

Missing

After the whole thing with the ankhegs, we set back out on our trek back to New Stone Chimney. Not long into the journey, we got attacked by a coupla Deinonychus. One ran away, but Rankle took down the other one. We gotta lota meat from it too! We'll be...

01:02 pm - 15.05.2022

Mind Splinter

Since there's something controllin' the minds of things, we knew we had to go into the Ankheg tunnels to destroy it. Soon after we went in we heard someone sayin', "get out of my head!" It turned out to be a Tiefling Mage. He had one of those mind contr...

08:08 pm - 01.05.2022

Meteor Mishap

On our way back to civilization one day, there was an ear-splittin' boom, and a flash of light. A few minutes later a shock wave. None of us could figure out what had happened. Next day, we got attacked in the middle of the night by a huge toad. Poor lil...

11:49 pm - 23.04.2022

The Death of Never Nestknitter

I died today. That's right. Died. Like dead as a doornail, goodbye, lights out forever, final curtain call, kinda dead. I shouldn't be here to write this... but... here I am. Some stuff happened leadin' up to it, but honestly it's all kinda foggy now. ...

12:22 am - 17.04.2022

Telling my Truth

Well, I told everyone my story. They all were mighty nice about it. Said it wasn't my fault seeing how I was only a kid at the time of the dragon attack. They don't even want me to leave the group or nothin'. I appreciate their kindness and understanding,...

02:07 pm - 16.04.2022

Home...

Before we left the hags hut, we found a bit of cloth that looks like the scarf Bob wears. Arc identifies it and discovers it's made for holding curses! Also Arc gave me a real sweet picture of the Merrymeads. What a sweet little lump of honey he is! ...

05:32 pm - 09.04.2022

Haunted House and a Hag Hut Oh My!

We set out for the Haunted House in Effeldeisen, and found the grounds to be crazy overgrown. I climbed one of the guard towers and was able to map out a path to the door. We came to a clearing and Abby pointed out some yellow stuff. Like a damned fool, B...

02:23 pm - 02.04.2022

There and Back Again

Everyone wanted to camp under that dragon skeleton, but I said, "Aw hell naw," so we made camp inside like sensible people. Well that night was terrible anyway. Abby an' I both got real sick, and we couldn't even sleep a wink. Apparently we got the Swamp ...

12:54 am - 20.03.2022

Metal Ruins

There was a place on the map Fari gave Arc marked something about broken metal people, so naturally Arc wanted to go there. It looked to be only 'bout a day's walk so we said, "why not?" Before we set out, I tol' them a little 'bout my dream and said I th...

09:18 pm - 13.03.2022

The Change Within

After the job in Dissengnikktok, we got back on the road to home. We decided to follow the creek again. We slept in Pardikkin for the night. Nothin' excitin' happened, which isn't necessarily a bad thing after what we been through the last few days. We pa...

02:18 pm - 06.03.2022

Cousin Companion

After we got some shut-eye in the Drake's cave, we set out for home. We stopped in Dissengnikktok and got an in for the night. While we were ther, the most excitin' thing happened! We met a fellow Engrabden Halfling! Holy Heckin' Hotcakakes, what an excit...

08:27 pm - 05.03.2022

Overcoming Fear

My new friends and I set out to find that Pact Drake. We decided to follow the creek the whole way so's we'd not run out of water. We took a ferry along the river until we reached the creek. Then went the rest of the way by foot. Our first night camping, ...

05:11 pm - 20.02.2022

The Adventure Begins

I think it's finally happening, I'm going on an adventure! When I woke up this morning, it was like any other day. I washed up, tidied my cottage, and headed to River's Rest for breakfast. That's where I got the tragic news that 'ol Irin Glimmercutter was...

12:30 am - 08.02.2022

Onward

In a few days time, I will be setting out to... well I don't know where exactly. All I know is there is work to be had and good to be done. If I can earn enough gold to put a meal in my belly and shelter over my head, while I'm doing it... well, that wil...
