The following is a recollection from Vralino Hammer-Shield, currently living in Trayckid. The text remains unaltered to maintain its authenticity (Certain terms and names written wrong to keep in character). It is written in Or'zet.
So I heard through the underground that Thorkell was going out on another trip into the mountains. I rushed home to Trayckid to get some of my adventuring gear. I figured he was coming from the Tower of Bishon or one of the Moots in the mountains to the west, so I'd have some time to get home and back, right? Wrong! When I returned, I found that the party had already left. I asked around to figure out which direction they went and where they were going. Luckily, I know a bit of tracking. Those less than useful guards had no idea where the party went. I found they had travelled... maybe... north? Or was it south east? I dunno, I just followed their tracks. I didn't even pay attention to what had occurred along the way. I was interrogated by bandits, delayed by travelling merchants, and food was unusually wily and difficult to capture. I was eventually able to catch up to them. Quite the group. Norg and Thorkell, the Trollkin Thrashers, Azurea, who runs the most amaaaazing spa ever in the history of all time! And a new person! It's been a while since I met someone new on the job! Moe'huane, who has a pet shadow dragon! Moe tried to get me caught up, but I was way too excited about adventuring with Thorkell again. It seems like forever since we went on a job together!
Shortly after I reached the party, we came across a group of... mouth creatures? Or maybe they were butt creatures? Whatever. Azurea did some scouting thing, and I was unsure of how to act. Moe brought out his pet shadow dragon, which didn't stay for very long. I took that as my cue and lit myself ablaze. Thorkell and I charged forward, leaving Norg behind as Azurea killed one of the things. Thorkell was able to destroy the second one in one swing! Well, maybe not one swing. It was fast, and I didn't pay much attention. I ended up getting wrapped up in a tentacle. Or maybe a tongue? It was a gypsum gall bladder! That's what it was! I didn't fight it, I just moved closer, and just when I was about to kill the thing, it fell down! I guess the shock and awe from my reputation as a swordmaster killed it! (I found out later that Azurea killed it.)
This was a different job. Usually, there's a lot to be excited about. New places, new things to kill, new people to save, new experiences, but this job was quiet, sad, depressing, full of memories and stories about Azurea as a baby. I bet she was the cutest little troll girl when she was little! We came across a fork in the road, and a voice without a body told us to go left. Moe instructed me to go right, so I did. That'll show that bodiless voice who's boss! (Again, I'm missing a detail. Turns out I never took the right road. I could have sworn I did, but the rest of the party says otherwise. Maybe they're just messing with me?)
So we get to a tree, and the tree speaks to us. I made my way towards the tree, but the rest of the party stayed where they were. Then a suit of armor popped up and was practically begging me to kill it. I fought it as best as I could, but I was distracted by the rest of the party. Yeah, that's what it was. They were fighting other things, so I taunted the other things, and the armor in front of me stabbed me, right in the stomach! Then his armor suit buddy came over to do it again! These things are not nice! I woke up a short while later after passing out. Again. Azurea went to explored the area, finding items, both mundane and magical, put on display in these woods. It was weird. It was also a success! She ended up taking a helmet to the Ice Claw moot. I was just glad to get out of the house. It's been a while since I was able to stretch my legs.
