I'm Traveling with a Bunch of Slimy Balls

by Edo The Ender

So we looked in the wagons of the cultists and found a whole lot of money that was stolen from Greenest. I said we needed to take it back to the people of Greenest, and all the others said no way because it's not their problem, and the leaders of Greenest would just have to go get it themselves if they wanted it back. Tinkerstich had a word for people like that. Slimy balls, or something like that. I should have stood my ground but I was too scared that Zachary would turn me into a helmet. I'm so sad that every day I find out more and more that the people I decided to travel with are not very good people. I'd leave, but everyone from the carnival said I should find people to travel with to be safe. Then again how safe can I be when one of them insists on wearing dead kobolds?It's like he doesn't even realize that is so mean. Anyway, I am going to send a message to Greenest and tell them what happened. The good news is I found a book full of secrets. I took it, which is OK because it belonged to a cultist and we're allowed to take their personal stuff. Especially if they are dead.
 
Suledag is still really nice. We talk a lot and often eat together. Anamarisa's mom gives me ugly looks so I told Anamarisa if she wanted lessons she'd have to come to me. Hopefully one day so many people won't hate me.
 
Another good thing that happened was a town had a Greengrass festival. I went into the town and had a one Edo parade. But then kids joined in too, and then adults, and soon most of the town was dancing and laughing while I led them through the town. I think maybe they will even build a statue of me playing my hurdy-gurdy. It was real fun.
 
A few weeks after that I found a music shop that had a hurdy gurdy. I told Anamarisa about it and she bought it! I am so happy that she has a way to help her family now.
 
There was a bunch of rain and a whole bunch of really big black mushrooms sprouted up. That made Goodnight happy.
 
Another day we got attacked by Huge spiders and some things that looked scary. Apparently Chill thought it would be helpful if there was a forest fire. It was not helpful. Goodnight wanted to be friends with one of the spiders so I helped her. I told her we're even now. She thought that was very nice of me. She did convince the spider to be her friend, and she named it Lola. Chill kept trying to steal Lola away from Goodnight, which was not very nice. I think it hurt Lola's feelings because one morning she was gone. I hope Goodnight isn't too sad about it.
 
I had a good day in Daggerford. I had lunch with Suledag and then played music with Anamarisa. IT was not very good, but I told her she was great because I want her to keep trying. She and her family left the caravan, which made me sad. I hope she does well. Oh, also, I found a poster offering money for Zachary and Dreadnaught. Even though they are not nice, I am. SO I warned them about it then pointed out that it was kinda dumb that they still weren't in disguises. They agreed, but didn't change anything.
 
Some bandits made loud noises and attacked us. That was a dumb idea because now they aren't even alive.
 
One morning that gnome lady took my breakfast away. I'm not mad though because she found bones or something in it and said it would have killed me. That was nice of her, so when she asked us to find out what was in the wagons I told her about what we found.
 
One of the other ladies traveling with us was killed. I don't know who did it, but it's pretty scary.
