Title: Yorik's Log

Author: Yorik Elther


The roads have been dangerous of late, and many of the shipments of goods via caravan have gone missing or been attacked by marauders. We�ve started guarding what shipments we can, but we�re low on guards and the necessities to repair our gear. We�ve had to divert some of our guardforce to Minoc to help guard the shipments of ore and weaponry here safely. It doesn�t help that we�ve had a few deserters recently. The citizens don�t like it, but at least the monks don�t mind. They never cared for having us here in the first place. At least they don�t raise a fuss.

Much as I don�t like the monks, they�re blasted good healers. It�s a good thing we�ve got them here as several of the guards who�ve been helping escort the shipments have come back wounded and worse for wear by fighting off bandits. My post here at the guardhouse hasn�t seen much other than the passing caravans. I�m not sure whether to be thankful for that or not, though my wife certainly thinks I should be. Still, I�d rather be fighting like my fellow guards.

We�ve lost six caravans in the past two weeks, and it seems to be the work of a single group of bandits. The sergeant says he has a plan to get them, and he�ll need our help. I�m wondering if I shouldn�t have taken up my retirement after that business with Virtuebane.

The sergeant is going to set up an ambush with a fake caravan and as many of us as he can get to go with him. Despite my wife�s pleas I know this is what I need to do to help secure the safety of Yew and the trade routes.

  • The writing here is

shaky and unsteady, but in the same hand* The sergeants plan was a good one, but we weren�t expecting such a strong showing from mere brigands. It wasn�t until after we checked their dead and the few survivors had fled that we realized that they weren�t regular brigands, and how they knew all the trade routes. At least two of the slain brigands were former members of the guard. I sustained a serious injury to my shield arm in the fight, and have been staying at the healers here in Yew while I recover. I think this time I�m going to listen to the wife and find a safer line of work.
