Finally I have returned home. I have missed these stone halls more than anything. This is my place, this is where I belong. I will have to start seeking opportunities to pursue my plans from before Groehl talked me into leaving on that mission of his. Speaking of Groehl, I wish he would mind his own business I am sure that when the church had heard of my return they would send for me when needed, but no Groehl had to make sure I go immediately upon returning. Now I have to return tomorrow to find out when they want me to steal whatever it is they want. Maybe I can establish some sort of relationship with the church, so if in the future they need more work of this nature done they know who they can go to. I mean its for the Holy Order of Throrn so it cant really be bad can it?
That aside the return home was both happy and surprising. We ran into Esmerelda and met here master Orlin. He was rather short at first but quickly became very friendly when he learned that we were the ones who paid for Esmereldas schooling. It was from him that we learned of a new league for adventurers, although he could tell me nothing of the Darkrunners Guild. I guess I will have to look elsewhere for them.
My other companions had a mix of reactions upon entering Citadel.
Kambei seemed disturbed by the lack of plants and trees. No surprise there. Our pointy eared friend will find no relief from that disturbance while here. Hopefully he will be able to adjust and see just how beautiful the stone world of Citadel really is.
Hunter didnt seemed to impressed of bothered by anything. Then again he is no stranger to Citadel, even though he lived on the surface of my home rather than in its heart.
Tenedos is having a little difficult with the dimness, humans were not born to live in the earth. He was very excited to meet Orlin and talk magic with another wizard. I hope his time here yields him rewards to his studies.
Derrinar seems happy to be home though I know he has farther to travel till he is truly home. I hope I am able to see his home, I want to learn of all the realms of Citadel and the Underdark. I know there are dangers there but I think the risk is worth it to learn the secrets of the depths.
Groehl has been strutting since he recieved his recognition for the church. I am happy for him, he has earned every bit of the praise. I hope this doesnt make his arrogance any more annoying. He has already annoyed me once by sticking his nose into my business with the church. Granted he is a member but if they wanted him involved they would have told him of it. Water under the bridge, Im not going to let this bother me further.
Gim seems the most affected by our entrance into Citadel. He has developed an immense interest into [gods name], at one point I thought he would never leave their shrine and we would have leave him. Gim seems to found a love of Citadel that even a dwarf could respect. He seems changed.
I am glad to be home. Now I must look to my plans. I have a debt to pay to the church and possibly establish a relationship there. I must seek out the Darkrunners, their knowledge and training will be an immense help in future excursions into the dark paths of Citadel. And now a new item of interest is this new league. With the possibility of gaining access to cheaper price gear and services I cant afford to pass it up. I must not forget about dear Orlin. Making his acquaintance could be of great use in the future, especially his appreciation of payment as well. Oh the joys of my home. Citadel how I have missed you. |
