Defin-ANT-ly an Interesting First Adventure

by Boldreg Galdohk

-Right off the Boat-
 
*Finally solid ground again and a hot meal in my belly... life is looking up. Meet up with some fellows from the boat at the tavern as well as a fairly drunk but nice local to find some work and make some starting money for our new lives here.
 
*Meet the local blacksmith, and found he may be interested in working with me... maybe making a small local guild. I will have to see if after getting myself a little more established if we can partner together to make this little town a little bit bigger and better.
 
*After doing some ground work we decide to head north and help out the Quarry Master/ Foreman Darrel with a ant infestation at the quarry, let us hope we don't end up like the fellows back at the temple.
 
*The travels were pretty easy until Loy went ahead and disturbed some Blood Hawks... well lets just say he got a little Bloodied from. He ended up deciding to head back to town after that, lets hope that we can still do this with the four of us.
 
*A storm is rolling in so we huddle up in some old ruins to stay for the night, the country side has been really nice a peaceful for the most part.
 
-The Quarry-
 
*With the storm from last night gone the heat today is rather unbearable but we make it to the quarry with plenty of time.
 
*Into the belly of the beast we descended and were one of use would never return from alive again. Jack was felled by the Ants but he was rather... Particular... in a bad way so I did not feel to remorseful for his passing. However with his death we were able to kill of the ants that had infested the lower parts of Darrel's Mine.
 
*With the death of the ants and the investigation of the hole they came from, it only brought questions. It felt familiar with all of the Dwarven-esk Craftsmanship but something just didn't feel right about it and i couldn't put my finger on it.
 
*The Queen was already dead but to what we don't know. Then there was the Ogre... he was writing something but in a language none of us know. We narrowly hide from it as it left from another entrance to this cave... labyrinth... who knows what it is really but we got all that we could from it and Darrel and his crew closed up the entrance. I think he will not be mining down in that area again, will be interesting to see how that affects his quarry.
 
*Questions to figure out when we get back, why was that Ogre there and what is that writing about that he took, What killed those ants in the Labyrinth as they had been dead a while ago, and what or who made those ruins.
 
-Here is to another day alive and a little bit richer!-
