nothing and nowhere

by Zith Zinyra

Well, at a crucial early juncture in this, supposedly foreseen by me, fight for Leilon I was not who I wanted to be. I played it safe, I played along, I played it "smart" and really didn't get much of anywhere. For all my visions, my actual critical thinking skills failed me after our first skirmish on the south wall. This is not just my soul and my existence on the line its literally the entire Sword Coast and potentially beyond. You need to not be careful Zith, you need to push your limits...though admittedly you are wearing down in this specific moment. Yes I haven't been badly injured yet and yes I've laid out some hits but this pace and this intentionality will not be enough to overcome this onslaught. I should have stuff with my original plan and maybe, though I would never want to let them down, maybe I have to follow my gut regardless of the pushback of my friends. We are family, even the new guy who makes me wish I took my combat training a bit more seriously... we are family but families disagree from time to time as we all know. I've never wanted to let anyone down less than I want to let this family down but I also need to be smarter and pick my battles. In hindsight they could have held that gate without me while I picked off some zombies who have surely been slashing their way through town on route to Thalivar's Tower. We'll have to see what mess we've created later...that gate has finally been breached and it's go time. I love the wall of blades that Ozus threw up, truly inspiring. Let's see if we can get out of here with enough left in the tank to take on whomever is next. We all are fearing the worst, Ebondeath, Nyx, Madame Stormsworn, or that blaspheme himself. Let's hope we can get to regroup before facing any of them.
 
Thankfully, the towns guard, the Lizard Folks (thank you Ozus, I thought you were wasting your time) and the few warriors we got from Neverwinter have fought admirably and I don't feel as alone as I did in my visions...maybe there is something to be hopeful for. Time will tell, literally minutes will tell.
