Another Day, Another Job

It seems that my traveling companions are, at the moment, some very noble and honorable persons.
Neo seems like a particularly ravenous individual. I don't typically gamble; but I really should have known he would win that fight, and put some money down on him. I have seen many scams before where they give you an easy fight, then they ask you to go double or nothing with someone much stronger and you lose all your money. To be honest I've seen such scams more often than actual fights, which is why I chose not to place a bet. Maybe I could have been more generous in my opinion of such establishments.
Kaal is very mysterious, and I'm not quite sure what to think of him. He is an enigma, surely, and shrouded in omens. The elves used to speak of such beings, an old wives tale, to be sure, but apparently a true one.
Garbod & Goud are people I can get along with. Just generally good people. They remind me much of some of my friends in the North who died in the war. I look forward to many drinks to come with such people.
Bilbod is a strange one, but he likes drink, and so do I. I must take more time to learn more about him.
 
For the time being, I believe I can trust them. We will see how far this trust goes.
It has been a very long time since I have been able to trust anyone. Most people would have never given me the money from our past two jobs, instead only scraps.
I have more money now than I've ever had since leaving the North.
A few more months of this and perhaps I can track down my old armor & weapons and buy them back.
 
I am very suspicious of the elves in this area. They seem to be attempting to start a war with the other races, or at the very least incite violence in an attempt to have them removed from the area.
Such racism is not something I am used to in the North, as we never saw many other races, however many of the elves who live up North prefer the company of other elves, and I understand why. Many of these humans are not to be trusted in the slightest. It is as if they live for war, wealth, and power.
 
I am also very suspicious of such sailors as can be found in the Warrens. They appear very rough around the edges, thuggish brutes who live and act without honor or nobility, living by some obscure personal code rather than the laws of their districts. A good relationship with these types may be fortuitous, but I must stay wary of their hidden intentions. I am not sure I am off to a good start, and I must work on my negotiating skills.
