Ldy Bryne's Shoppin' List...

Twas a warm Sunny morn bright and new, I awoke to the sounds of clatter in the kitchen, the cooks preparing a lovely morn breakfast. I could smell the salt pork in the air...."MMMMMMM" I said, as my tummy growled with anticipation. I quickly washed up and dressed, then headed down to the commons, I found Giant rather quickly, in fact he and Sir Paddy were the only ones in the place. "Hmmmn" I said. wondering if everyone else had already eaten or were just up and gone earlier than I. I quickly seated myself next to Giant and said my greets. "Kierra! your late!" said Giant as I sat down." Awww um really?" I said. "What time is it?" "It be almost noon!" said Giant. "Ohh geeze!" I noticed he and Paddy stifling back giggles as they finished cleaning off their plates. "That cannot be true!" I said. TeHeehehe Laughed the two as they saw the look of bewilderment on my face. Then Giant put his arm around me and said, " we just be teasing ya Kierra." "Whew" I said as I wiped the pretend sweat off my forhead. "Glad I dint sleep the whole day away", I said with a huge smile. Then Giant told me of the news he had recieved that morn from Ldy Bryne, We as in I and him and Paddy if he wished were to go to the Port Llast Inn where we were ta meet M'lady for a day of explorin. We quickly finished our mornin stew and headed off. There was alot of evil ta be faught that day, thieves wild boars and the such along the way of our route to Port Llast.

We finally made it to the Inn sometime around noon. After formally greeting all who we encountered there, Ldy Bryne asked me Kierra to lead the group to the Luskan Underground. I was over joyed that she would entrust me ta lead. afterall I hadnt been here long and wasnt so sure a my way around, although I felt confident that I could lead them to Luskan because I had been there many a time. So off we headed with me friends testing me all the way ta see if I be a good leader or not. We encountered evil a few times on the way, but always prevailing o'er it. When we got to Luskan Inn, we stopped for a minor rest then headed down to the underground. Once we got there my overjoyesnous left me for there I was at a loss. I dint know me way around down here I told them. So M'lady Bryne took o'er and showed me the way. She told me I had done a good job o leading but said I needed ta learn me way around down here incase the day comes I can help another.

So she gave me a shopping list, and told me ta find five evil things. They are as follows: FireGiants, Wyverns, Evil Mages, White Dragon, and Zombies. We then headed for the beholders where I got disintigrated rather quickly :( I found me way back to the Inn as quickly as I could, For the time had really passed fast while we were down under, it was late and time to head off fer bed, tired and bone weary with all the things that were said and done on me mind. I found it a bit hard ta sleep that night. I was meantally making plans ta go down under and map it out, and drifted off ta sleep. Then the next morn when I awoke, I quickly dressed and headed off fer the underground barely stoppin ta eat, and only cuz the chambermaid said I had ta eat the free breakfast that came with me room. " I am not goin ta be cleanin this room and throwin out the meal to the birdees!" Ya come o'er here and eat it missy." So I did, grateful that it was warm and good, I thought it would get me going, a good start to me mornin travels.

Downunder I headed with me parchment and quill at hand, over commin the evils that guard this place only by the scruff of me neck. Twas a bit harder this time by meself! I made it tho and quickly got out parchment and quill and began to mark me way around, I found the FireMages first, ahh they were a very tuff battle and I did not win the first round, after resting up I went back to where they were at and this time I won to my grate joy. So I marked it on me map fer later reference. Then out of no where a messenger appeared with a note from Melezar.

The note read " I am here lost and wandering, I need a friend ta guide me and would be so abliged if ye could see it in yer heart ta take some time and show me around." it was signed Melazar~Keeper of the truth. I sent word with the messenger to Mel that I was in Luskan and if he could come on up I would happily show him the places I knew up here. So back to the Inn I headed and waited fer Mel. After he arrived I told him of my mission and asked if he still wanted ta join me, he laughed and said he would. Downunder we went again, this time showing him where I had found the Firemages(12,6). I told him it was me mission to find the Evils down here and make a map for future references. We then wandered around it seems like hours before we found the next item on the list, and many evils to over come along the way. But we found the Evil mage(14,10) next twas a hard battle ta be one and we just barely made it out of there with our skins. We quickly rested up and headed off the find item number 3, Which was the Wyverns(12,0), we traveled for a long time, ( I felt like we were going in circles) and then we found em, "Oh my!" said Mel as we encountered em, "there are so many!" Tis ok I said we can preval o'er evil f we put our hearts and minds into it. And we did, I think Tyr musta been watching out fer us. After that battle we were worn so we headed back to the Inn for a nights rest. I slept well after saying me prayers and pondering over the days activities. I ad found 3 o the items on M'lady's list and I was very happy with meself. The next morn was stormy, cloudy and rainy. But that just made it a better day for me ta go down under where theres not a hint o sunlight. So down I went again, this time retracing me path to ensure the 3 items were still ta be found in those locations. Item #4 the White Dragon. And along me way to find them I bumped into a fellow who asked me where he might find the holders, "Aye, I said if ye want ta follow me I will take ye to em." After dropping him off at the location (3,11) I headed up the beaten path. I knew I hadent mapped out this location before, I felt the evil presence and smelled the most horrible stench, I knew this must be the way. so I quickly headed to where the fowl smell was eminating and found the white dragon (3,6) he was surrounded by medusas, an twas an awful battle, I conjured up my most powerful magik and held them in a trance, quickly killing each o them. Being sore and tired and feeling just a bit joyed that I had now found the 4th item i headed back to the inn ta freshin up and eat, my tummy was rumbling louder than that white dragon had! Stepping into the Inn commons I nearly bumped into Giant, "Giant! yer here! I am so glad ta see ye." I said as I hugged him hard. Then I noticed M'lady Bryne was there as well and we exchanged formal greets and hugs. "Have ye found me shopping list items Kierra?" she asked. "Aye m'lady, all but one, but me thinks I have a good idea where it may be found" I said with a grin from ear ta ear."Well do ya now?" she said, "would ye mind showing me?" "Aye, M'Lady I would be happy ta". So off we headed the three o us, me leading and beaming al the way. I took her all the way there o'er comming a few minor battles with evil along the way, "M'lady?" " I am not too sure o it, but it is the only area I havent mapped yet". "Thats fine Kierra" she said, "just show me what you have learned." I then took them almost directly to the Zombies (0,1). twas an easy battle ta fight with all o us there. Afterwards I did a little dance of joy, "I did it, I did it!!" I yelled, I found all five of yer items M'lady!" I said with a grin. "Ye have done me proud taday Kierra." she said with a smile. And I felt good, I knew I had done right this time. So off ta the holders we went, and this time I survived the fight. Quite happy and joyess over my days events I headed directly to the Inn where I bathed and ate and drank to my tummy's content, then off ta bed where I had me dreams of one day...
