What happens on the road, stays on the road

by Kit

Dear Garras
 
We did not officially get to meet, but I am one of Viridian's friends. I do not think anyone, other than your partner (Kendra? – pretty name), was sorry to see you die today. It made your funeral (you were set alight in the cart you ambushed) a little hollow.
 
Since you might have some time now to reflect on your mistakes and maybe to figure out all of Viridian's insults while you are at it, I thought I would tell you where you went wrong:
 
1. Never challenge someone who has friends;
2. Never challenge someone more superior to you in battle; and most importantly
3. You should not have killed the party on the road before us - it turned out to bite you in your Garr-ass (I hope you get this joke). If we might have had mercy on you, this sealed your fate.
 
I finally got to thank Lhoris today (the one who cut your partner down before she had time to shed too many tears). I watched him quite intently as he opened the gift I gave him, but I did not see a flicker of recognition for the item on his face. So, I am sure he is not my father. Long story but I did not know my father, so I constantly look for him in all the elves I meet. He did seem to genuinely like the gift though, which made me incredibly happy! I still smile when I picture his face and I hope it gives him many hours of joy. I do wish I had had the courage to approach him years ago – some of my choices might have been different. But like he said: "Harp not on the actions of the past".
 
Oh, remind me to disguise myself before we head back into Greyhawk. I am not sure I want people to know I am back yet. I might pay a visit to Mrs Veruga just to let her know I am ok and to bring her some pastries from that bakery she loves.
 
That's all from me.
 
At least you and Kendra are together…
 
Solemnly

PS I do not really have the inclination to look for another mouse companion right now. Being around Lhoris, Viridian, Doc, Arman and Mizzlyn is a lot. But nice, really nice.
 
PPS Doc was formidable in battle today and delivered much pain.
