Session 157

 Day 25

Dear Diary,

We went back to the moathouse today.  It was the same moathouse where I was like super heroic and killed that giant spider.   There’s this guy that keeps following us for some reason.  He really doesn’t do anything other than just huff and grumble.  If he actually killed anything, then maybe he would be useful.  Granted, I’m not even sure why I’m with these people in the first place.  I joined for like one job, and now I’m doing this other thing with them.  It’s one of those things where I wasn’t planning on being here for long, so it would just kinda be too awkward to back out now.  I’m not even sure if I was actually invited to be honest.  I just heard there was money, and I decided to follow that sweet sound of gold clinking together in a pouch.

Anyways, some of the people were really into the doors.  Not sure if they’re just carpenters or what, but they seriously examined every door and random details within the rooms.  I think I’m following a group of aggressive carpenters.  I bet they want to kick out those vendors from Hommlett, so that they can take their business and become a monopoly.  I don’t know how businesses work, but I’m guessing we’ll be fighting the vendors soon.

At one point, I nearly died.  There were some bats that flew by and nearly took my head off.  After that scare, we were met with this giant snake.  That guy who was following us did nothing of course, while we did all of the hard work.  I think his name is Milk?  I casted Spook on the snake, and one of the carpenters killed the snake while it was fleeing to the water.  He decided to go for a swim as if giant frogs weren’t in the water the day before, but he lived I guess.

We finally got back to town, and a drunk guy comes in and starts asking for people to pay for his drinks.  He offered to help us with this whole moathouse thing, and a part of me died a little because I was hoping we weren’t returning to that place.  The giant creatures were annoying but fine.  The place just smelled like mold.  I’m sure this drunk guy’s aim will be a lot better than Milk.

One of the carpenters talks to Milk, and Milk loses his mind and storms out.  I’m pretty sure the chainmail was a rental, and I think he thought he was going to be able to keep it?  Not sure.  Doesn’t really matter now because we have the town drunkard.  Just a silly little group of several carpenters, a birthday clown who was probably fired from their previous gig, a band nerd with an alarming amount of skulls in their collection, a town drunkard, and yours truly. 💙

To-Do List:

• Figure out how business works
• Find out how many skulls in a collection is considered an alarming amount
