For whom the bell tolls....

by Paladin of Dol Dorn Killian Hawkins

Dear Father,
 
After resting and praying, I am now set to explore the village and find out more about my journey. We met a kind person who was able to show us the sights of Blasingdell. He is a skilled artist whom seems to have the ability to see what is not there.... or maybe what was once there. His name is Vincent.
 
We have found the Orphanage and it is indeed abandoned..... upon inspection this is the place where my coin was crafted. We also found a strange die, which I immediately rolled and got an 8. We then heard a bell toll..... 8 times!!! This has indeed troubled me and I pray to Dol Dorn that the consequence's of my action brings reward and not destruction. Speaking of destruction, Dolen destroyed the die in a fit of rage, trying to find out what was inside it. Krod was unable to repair it fully and has been sulking ever since....... maybe smashing stuff is not always the answer... although it is the most fun!!
 
We have also visited a strange Chapel that seems to be surrounded by Gnomish glyphs. I paid for Vincent to draw a picture of me in front of the Chapel, to show my faith and also to see if there was any strange goings on around the place. The glyphs were there for all to see on the picture. I gifted the picture to Krod as it was very good and I looked exceptionally gallant in it. I thought it would help to build bonds with us. I'm sure he will treasure it forever.... we will investigate this place further.
 
We moved on the the Old Corn Mill as I sensed that this place is evil and it seemed a good place to start. We have been told of a curse that surrounds the place so it is time for me to go and cleanse the place of any evil, in the name of the Sovereign Host. On the way up to the mill we have encountered a hoard of Goblins and Hobgoblins. I took plenty of damage, as is my duty, but I protected our heroic group and dispatched many of the hoard to meet their ungodly maker.
Krod is proving very adept at blasting our enemies with lightning..... the smell of burning evil is still strong in my nose. Dolen is a truly complex champion who has skills I have never encountered before. The group grows stronger each day and the light of the Lord touches each of us.
 
We rest to catch our breath before continuing onwards to the awaiting evil.....
 
I have encountered no Orcs so far in my journey..... luckily for them.
 
Your Son
