I’m seeing stars.

Being the insomniac I am and having had that weird dream earlier, I decided that now was a good as time as any to get rid of the amulet. If memory serves me right, and I so hope it does, I have to give it to a monk dude at some monastery place. I’d like to be all cool and say I stole a horse and rode the whole way there, but the only horse for miles was being used by an Imperial guard. Not gonna try, no not ever.

To make matters worse, just when I can finally see the place in the distance it began to rain. No horse, an amulet I didn’t want and some dark deity watching me. I love my new life, oh yes, I love my new life. Running as fast as my armor allowed it took me a good half hour to get inside the damned monastery.

Bald and reading, how original.

I stood there, dripping wet waiting, and waiting, and waiting… And so on. The dude just wouldn’t look up. So I cleared my throat really loud and he finally looked at me.

Not the warm welcome I expected.
