Wednesday, June 4. 2008First Report: Bandits, Trouble in Triboar
Ninth-day, First Ride of Flamerule, Year of Wild Magic
Commander: I have arrived in Triboar with the band of adventurers Lord Blackburn sent after those who disturbed the wedding and stole the mace of Tyr. Following some leads in Longsaddle led me to suspect the (former) Lady Regent of Triboar, and so we set out on the road. Our first night on the road, we were ambushed by bandits - they seemed rather well organized and equipped for regular bandits, you might want to consider sending out a small party of watchmen to see if any traces of who they might have been can be found. I marked the place where the struggle took place with the standard evidence runes, just off the side of the road. Upon our arrival in Triboar, we discovered that the Lady Regent had been deposed, and the son of the former Lord had been placed back on the throne. The rumor is that there we demons involved, and there's a strong suggestion that magician we seek may have been connected to the former Lady Regent, perhaps even her lover. We are now waiting at the local inn for permission to meet the Lord Regent to see what further information and aid he can provide as we continue to seek these troublemakers. Finding myself in the company of the most capable and brave group of adventurers I have ever met, I am returning enclosed the remainder of my investigatory stipend, as well as a letter requesting temporary leave of duties from the force. While I fully intend to continue to send updates and to complete the mission I have been assigned, I think I would prefer to do it as an independent agent, and a member of this traveling band of adventurers. Assuming neither they nor you have no objections to this, I plan to formally resign my post with the city watch upon our triumphal return. Yours in Tyr, Han Trackbacks

Very nice. I like how you made it an official report, while still working in the synopsis and your character's reasons for being in the party. Good job!
Wren on :
I liked that, too, it's very clever. I like our all our different posts mirror our characters. Lissah's is all descriptive and sort of existential (by which I mean she writes about what's happening right then), and Sol's writing was supposed to be introspective, and Han's is all military here-are-the-facts. I think the writing up of the campaign is going to be awesome for character development 8D
Ancient of Days on :
I have to give a lot of credit to our most excellent Dungeon Master - it was *his* suggestion that I work for the city guard as a sort of 'thief-taker' (well, he may not have used that term precisely, but that's how I interpreted his suggestion). I immediately attached to the idea and my concept of my own character diverted significantly from what I had planned, and I liked the new direction.
