Chapter 20

     As we're walking through the forest, an arrow landed in front of us. The wild elf told us that it was shot by his friends. We then called out that we came in peace but they didn't buy it. They kept shooting arrow around us hinting us to leave. The wild elf then climbed up a tree and disappeared on sight. Some of us dropped our weapons to show sign that we're harmless. After a while, Quanta threatened them that he'll burn the forest down if they don't show themselves and the wild elves weren't happy with that. They triggered a trunk trap which killed Quanta. Drok them how could they do that!

     Clouded by my rage, I felt like slaughtering each and every of them. We came to help and this is what we get? This is how we get paid for showing kindness? I hid the anger on my face then dropped my crossbow and try to persuade them hoping that they'll reveal themselves so I could take revenge for Quanta. After trying for a while, I finally calmed down and realized it was actually Quanta's fault... How could they still trust people when their community was slaughtered in a day? Why would they not kill someone who threatens to burn their home?

     The wild elves finally told us to drop our weapons. We did so and they revealed themselves and collected our weapons and kept it in a sack. After a long conversation, they bought us to visit their burnt village and demanded us to help destroy Ossington. We told him that the villagers took the small animals to transform them into humans and whoever is using that spell is said to be misusing it. They then focused their attention to Dyson, Cuckoo, Tully and Henwen. We have no idea who to trust... Seeing that the wild elves' village got burnt and only 3 of them are left... Their story seemed more... trust-able? We then agreed to their plan to kill Dyson, Cuckoo, Tully and Henwen.

     After resting in the forest, we returned to Ossington with the wild elves. The wild elves made sure they were hidden out of sight of the villagers. Faeron's suggestion of putting up an angry and disappointed face while carrying Quanta's dead body on a stretcher managed to trick Cuckoo. He believed that we were defeated by the wild elves and retreated. Faeron demanded Cuckoo to gather the Tully, Hanwen and Dyson at Dyson's tower to discuss a plan to avenge Quanta. Cuckoo agreed and we brought Quanta's dead body back to our temporarily house.

     We approached the tower with uneasiness. How are we going to execute the plan? Who should we aim first? We entered the tower told them about our encounters. Apparently, Cuckoo already told them the story. After some consideration, Cuckoo and Hanwen doesn't seem harmful, Tully may be a swordman but we can slowly take her down but Dyson, a magician can cast a lot of dangerous large area spells. So I set my priority on Dyson. I approached him and asked him about a spell that can maintain Quanta's decaying body. While he's flipping through the book, I tried to pin him down but my hand slipped away from his shoulder and hence I failed miserably, luckily he believed that I was just brushing off something on his shoulder. Rohan saw my failed act and rushed quickly to Dyson and grabbed him! Let's hope things work out!

  1. Among the recent ones, this one is slightly better, the rest read more like a news report than a journal. T.T

    No need to rehash session notes. I already wrote those. Just highlight your character's moments. Don't waste your time lol. Go see in the tracker how much you got for each and you'll know what I mean.

    I wish all of your journal is more like this one's paragraph 2 and 5.
