It was a cool, brisk evening and my fellow adventurers and I had just finished exploring and killing within the Estate of Unrest. As we made our way out into Dagnor's Cauldron, I posed a question to my friends about the best way to earn some cash near the area, to which they replied there was a camp of sisters eager to give up their goods to anyone who could over power them in the Lesser Faydark area. I thanked them for the information and began to make my way to the area.
After a short run through several areas I arrived at the Lesser Faydark zone, staring out into the great unknown as I was advised to be careful of the denizens of Lesser Fay. I felt safe running at speeds faster than any normal creature, and followed along the wall, dodging camps of orcs, dark elves, and men that were made of swirling shadows just drifting through the air. After some careful maneuvering, I managed to find the area my friends spoke of, and found myself staring down four women, all grasping weapons of bronze shimmer, looking at me as I approached.
Using skills of my profession, I managed to lull them with songs of better times past, before luring each of them one by one to their doom. This went on for hours until my body ached for rest, and another fellow traveler wished to have a go. I wished them well and asked for direction to a friendly vendor who would exchange my treasures for coin.
"The Wood Elves back along the wall a bit will buy them." he replied, and I set off to cash in on my hard work.
Once my negotiations were over, I set out to Kelethin to bank this cash and rest my eyes. I found a path and wandered down it, thinking it was going to lead me to Greater Fay, but sensed something was amiss when I heard voices in the trees. I marched on until I stepped over a hill and was met by the angriest looking creature I had ever seen. He was small and brown, his teeth snarling at me as he began to make his way towards me. I quickly turned around and grabbed by drums, playing them with all of my might, running even faster than before. After a few moments I looked over my shoulder to see it gaining on me, getting closer and closer, this was a being of supernatural speed, and eventually it caught me and left me lying on the ground dead.
Luckily for me, I was bound close by and used a song to locate my corpse, watching every movement around me as I crept up on my corpse and gathered my belongings. I made haste out of the Lesser Faydark, learning a lesson on the dangers of the area, and making a vow to avenge myself against that creature.
I will meet him again.
Thanks for reading!
