Death and things

by Kit

Dear Dead Guard I killed (I guess if I can talk to my dead husband, I can talk to you)
 
I am sorry you died. I wish you had been a little stronger.
 
I did consider paying to have you brought back to life, but then I do not know if you were a good or bad man. Since there was a 50% chance of either, I paid Sherriff Jamis 500 gold for a good burial instead of the 1000 gold to have you resurrected.
 
My friend Bud has this theory that if you lived your life well, that the afterlife is one continuous orgasm. So maybe you have that to look forward to. Or maybe you will be reunited with the person whose lock of hair you carried. You have options. If you go to a terrible place, we will probably meet one day. Then you can get payback.
 
Ok, enough about you.
 
My day was pretty good considering how it started badly with me killing you.
 
We made short work of the statues in the library. You probably hoped we would die there. A monk from some monastery in the twilight helped. He does a lot of damage. Also, your boss killed himself. If you see him, tell him that was stupid. He would have been better off dying a more noble death - as you did.
 
The Bugbear is free (ish)! Mr Revven had this good idea to shrink him, and Arman made that happen with magic. The Bugbear was ok being hugged by Viridian who took him outside to the courtyard. It definitely has a lot more space than the cramped cage he was in. The Bugbear loves ape meat! Doc carried out one of the apes we had killed, and the Bugbear got stuck in! He seemed much happier. I got a good look at the animal for the first time, and I have no idea why they call it a Bugbear. It looks more like a bird. Ok, maybe a little bear too.
 
After Viridian took the fall for your murder (I find I want to hug him a lot), I pulled Jamis aside to tell him that it had been me. I do not think Jamis wants to be drinking buddies with me at the Feral Dog Inn anymore as he strongly suggested we all get out of town. I am happy for his promotion to Sherrif though…he deserves it. I hope he will remember that this party is responsible for that though. If they had not started this adventure, Sherriff Cubbin would still be getting away with all his horrendous deeds.
 
Then we went back to Inn (I am sure you have been there as your boss apparently owned the place). I hope the new owner will improve the ale. I tried matching drink for drink with Doc and Viridian, but that was not smart! When the barbarian started looking attractive, I decided to stop drinking.
 
I hope you rest in peace.
Kit
 
PS If you see Alduin, tell him I say hi! He was apparently tainted and could not be brought back to us.
