Bandit Forest

Traveled to our first stop. It was a lovely forest village named Safehaven in the domain of Goffrey. We happened upon some locals that were being attacked by bandits. We had a bit of a disagreement with them but we were able to resolve the conflict without killing everyone. We then met with Lady Geteen in town while the others did some shopping. Afterward, we met with Mayor Renald who gave us information to deal with their bandit problem. The others think that Renald will give us........ the items we are after once we deal with the bandits.
 
It seems I may be falling back into old habits, as one of my companions pulled me aside to confirm that we were not going to just kill all of the bandits and that instead, we should work to reach an accord with them and the townspeople. I hope we can come to such terms, but I'm skeptical that such lawbreakers as these will be so reasonable. Even so, we did meet with some of the bandits and got a couple of them to agree to come back to camp with us. We're hoping that they will assist us in negotiations.
 
I got to know my companions a bit better on this trip:
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Masterful climber of the tallest trees
she's In and out like a wayward breeze
ready to See that justice is found
when talks do Tremble and fully break down
--------------------------------------------------------------
Stand up soldier with a voice of brass
he Also grades to see if we'll pass
he's a Learned tracker of horses and men
we confidently, have Very little doubt that we'll win
 
And of course, his faith is strong
knowing That naught a misstep is wrong
willing to Orate when others attack
and say the Right thing even when they fight back
I am proud and Elated, to call him a brother of our pack
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Underhill master of lightning and fire
he'll Light you up when invoked is his ire
but truly Fear not, for he can be quite calm
in fact, he'll Gladly let you live without qualm
truly he doesn't seek Animosity with others
for in his mind, even Ruffians can be brothers
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Zenful and calm he seeks to make friends
with Eternal kindness that flows and transcends
even when Killing arrows, at him are aimed
he strides forward Easily without fear or blame
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
>>>>>Side note: When we return home I need to see if a spell or book or something could be put together to deal with language issues. I didn't realize that when we traveled to these foreign lands, that not everyone here would speak common. Also, remember to take Mist to go by Grakmaw's Green Goods on campus when we get back. It seems she's never had a honeybun before and his are some of the most delightful baked goods I've had on campus.
 
>>>>>>>>>>Side Side note: Remember to reschedule tutoring sessions with Brienna during future excursions. Hopefully, her notes from Bosco's class this week won't be too confusing. Everyone tells me his classes are Sooo, confusing. I'm surprised no one else offers tutoring for his classes.
