Givamea, a land of magic, wonder, and stuff that will kill you if it happens to just glance in your general direction. If I were to make a list of the stuff that could kill a brittle meat filled human such as me it would send even the most seasoned adventure into a rampage that ends with him stabbing himself in the nose.

Twas not a week ago that I was just fighting for my life when Lucky and some other fellow guild members showed up at my door. I had just been having a drinking contest with Slashy and Stabby so I was in no fit condition to go traveling I offered them a nice warm bed for the night. The night passed by fast, and after hiring a house keeper and a cook we were off to enter the dreaded forest of blackness.

Nothing of much interest happened along the way to the forest luckily, but once we entered the forest we met our first obstacle.

I will try to explain what it was to the best of my knowledge. Imagine if a giant turtle and a giant lizard had a kid, and this kid was stuck in a blender along with about 50 other creatures. Then they took all the parts out of the blender and hired a blind person to put it back together using a golf club.

As soon as this monster (named "Bullet) charged at us our mages prepared and launched magic missiles but the beast didn't slow. Lucky and I took our positions to defend the rest of the group, and the battle for the ages began.

Lucky got the first hit in but still the beast came. I only had one chance, and I could only pray to Tempest that I would live to see another day. I swung......and it died. Well, that was mellow dramatic. Moving on.

Finally we made it to the Huts and we entered the elevator. Slowly it lowered until finally clicking to a stop. A simple wooden door greeted us at the bottom. We entered the next room, only for all the doors to slam shut and a horrible gas came out of the corners. I was prepared for this, and next time I shall get past this gas.

We awoke an unknown amount of time later, with all of our gear scattered all over the room. After collecting ourselves we continued to face whatever challenged us. After this point I kind of blacked out, mainly out of boredom. Fought some Stirges, nothing to bad, found some treasure and a magical dagger and some giant bugs.

Later on we encountered this nicely furnished room with a fire going in its fireplace, a giant paining hanging above it, and an assortment of weapons hanging on the wall. Right before we could swipe these objects of interest and make off with out phat loot a dwarf came into the room and introduced himself.

It turned out that he owned this room and had been living there for the last hundred years or so. He wasn't too friendly so we left him to his own desires. We went traveling some more, went through a few secret doors and decided to head to this room with a safe. Problem is, on our way back we encountered two scorpions. We knew something was up since scorpions can't open doors so unless some one or some dwarf assisted them they wouldn't be able get near us.

After a quick fight we tried to enter the dwarf's chambers only to find it magically locked. Since we couldn't be bothered with this dwarf now we just headed to the room with a safe in it, and hopefully treasure. After killing some giant warrior men we made it to the safe room.

We decided to spend the night there since time was taking its toll on all of us. However, during the night three orger jellies attacked us. The battle turned from bad to worse when I was temporally knocked out the condition. But thanks to a well placed healing potion I was back up and managed to assist in destroying these foul beasts. The battle however claimed the brave warrior Aaron's life, and we said our last goodbyes before shoving him into the portable hole right next to all the other junk.

We managed to open the safe a few minutes later only to be attacked by something resembling a giant lizard man with wings. Lucky swiftly destroyed them and we ran to collect our treasure....only to find it already looted. That is five adventures now that my treasure has been looted from me and I do not like it at all. On our way back we encountered the dwarf again only for him to throw a magical powder on us and send us back to Givamea.

So overall, I feel wiser and stronger, and I got around 500 gold.

P.S. I know Sergio will ask me this later so I will answer it now. Yes, the housekeeper and the cook are female, and no, they don't have super high charisma, and yes, one of them is married.

P.P.S.S. Oswald now is wiser and will no longer drink as much at the guild, if only to keep up appearances.

Oh, and if someone can think of a cool name for Stabby(my +2 dagger) I will rename Slashy to Slayer. I just don't want one awesome name and one equally awesome but in a different way.
