Fifth Letter to Home.

Dearest Mother,
 
Hello mother, I hope this letter reaches you well. I made it safely back to Dewbreak after visiting you. It was great to see you and talk. I wish we had more time together but I know you have responsibilities and so do I. We are having a few problems with the company. They have been without a leader for a while and we need to get together and get things working the right away again.
 
Back in Drewbreak, we had our 100 Fields Harvest Festival this week. It was a great party with games, food, drink and more. I was good and did not spend much money on drinks. I did talk my way into getting a few free drinks from the venders. I won a game and got a owlbear plushy. We did encounter some problems. Some small items in our bag of holding were missing. We also learned that Yenbin Nimblemeadow, the owner of the Wizard’s Hat in Drewbreak has been missing from his shop. We quickly rushed over to find out what happened. We explored the shop and all we could find was a bag of holding and some shoes on the floor. I knew they did not belong to Yenbin Nimblemeadow so I thought they were evidence of who took him. I kept the shoes and we kept looking. I even tried something risky and crawled into the bag of holding on the ground. I did not find anything out of the ordinary in it. We exhausted all the leads we had and went to Mason’s house to have a catered dinner at his place with his wife that she break back with him while I was visiting with you. We had a very nice meal but she left for a minute and did not come back. Then we heard a scream coming from her room. We all rushed up there and could not find her. All that was there was a bag of holding and a neckless on the ground that was not hers. We quickly found a portal to another world in the closet and we rushed in to save her.
 
Mother, you will not believe this but we meet the real bag man. Not only did we meet the bag man, we learned there are a lot of them. The stories are true; they do come and take people away never to return. We meet a Minotaur in a room that was locked. We break down to door only to find him eating a steak and drinking mead. It was not only strange for a Minotaur to eat steak, but for the steak and mead to return replenish as soon as they are consumed. I tried to take him mug of mead out of the room but it would not leave the room. It was very hard for me to put it down without drinking it but I knew there might be something bad about it in that place and I resisted the urge. We continued to look for Mason’s wife and it find Nimblemeadow. It was a sad site. He was being tortured and started to become a bag man. We tried to reason with him but it was too late. He excepted and ran away never to be seen again. We continued to look around in the world of the bag men and after a while we found his wife being carried away by a bag man. She was unconscious and slowly becoming like a bag man. In truth, we all were slowly becoming like one. A great fight followed. I was grabbed and hurt by the bag man until I misty stepped away and fired back with a twin firebolt. Both of the bolt hit with perfect aim and did tremendous damage. I dare say, it was the best two hits of my life. Some of my friends cowered in fear of the bag man but later got over the fear. We chased it down and after a long hard fight, we killed it. We jumped into a nearby portal it made and found ourselves back inside the bag men’s world. We traded with a bagman to get out of their world. We got transported into the Halloween Town’s world and got to talk with the Pumpkin King himself. We learned that the shoes I found make you more dexterous but when you put them on you get cursed with slower movement. I was still able to fly normally but I could not walk very fast. No one in our group was able to lift the curse. I asked around in the Halloween Town and no one there was able to do it. My friend Skree had just acquired two wishes and used one to remove them from me. She did not realist it but the wish put them on her. I explained to her another way to use the wishes and she use her last wish to free herself from the curse. The Pumpkin King was interested in the shoes and gave use the key we needed to get home in exchange for the shoes. We thought about staying the night there but we learned the only inn was run by 3 hags and after our resent trouble with hags, we decided to return home. We gave the town the bad news about Nimblemeadow and we rested up from the ordeal with had just had. We learned from the Pumpkin King that the longer we are away from the bag men’s world the sooner the effects from being there will go away. I am thinking I will talk our company into doing something charitable for that poor family that just lost their husband and primary breadwinner. Speaking of breadwinner, I think this week I will do some honest work for a change and sing at the local inn for a few hours a day to make a little money. It will be just like at the great parties we would have and I would sing for the people that where there.
 
Again I hope all is well with yall. I know father is busy with dealing with all those gnomes that appeared in our land from another place and I know you are busy with that strange disease we found on the orcs. I have some bad news about that matter. On the way back to Drewbreak, we found an animal with the same disease. We burned it to make sure it did not spread to other wildlife. I am afraid that if the animals can also get it, then this will be a greater problem then just orcs. I fear we all could get it with time. Please be careful resourcing about it mother. Let me know if you learn anything and I will let you know if I learn more. Again it was great to see you and I hope we can come to see you again. But I did not know how long that will be as we are starting to make a name for ourselves here and work will be pilling up on us soon.
