Magna Charter #2

Dear Diary,

Things are not going very well. We have not found any robots yet. Berlik is missing.

We fought some big beetles on the beach. Bandar killed one of the beetles in a single hit. Dwarves are always useful in a fight. Gabriel killed one too. He is better at fighting then I expected. More bards should learn how to use those small crossbow things. Then they would be able to actually kill stuff. 

Big-eyes does not seem very useful so far. He was scared of the beetles. But he still tried to hit one with his swords. After the beetles were dead we realised that Berlik and the gnome had run away. So I guess Big-eyes is more useful than them.

We also fought a thing that was like a frog. With arms and legs. Like person arms. And person legs. I don't know if it was a person. Gabriel tried to talk to it, and it hurt him and Big-eyes with magic. I beheaded it. Bendak cheered and said it was a great stroke, but I think it just had a weak neck. I hope it was not a person. Then he checked on the others. Their eyes were hurt, so we waited till they got better before we went on. The gnome caught up to us and pretended he hadn't run away. Berlik is still missing. I hope he has not been hurt.

We found some dead people, but they were not the chieftain from Torch. Then we met some dark-people who took us to a big cave where they live. I don't think they are very nice, but Gabriel and Bendak went to talk to their chieftain. When they came back, Gabriel said we can travel through their caves if we kill some gremlins for them. Gabriel is good at talking. We would have had to kill the gremlins anyway, and now we don't have to kill the dark-people too. It was clever for him to think of that. The dark-people said they know where the robots are.

More later.

Magna Charter #1

Dear Diary,

Today I travelled to Torch to search for robots. It is a strange place, with big buildings made of bricks and stones. I heard a rumour that two dwarves had found something interesting on top of the big hill, so I went searching for it. I did not find any robots, but I did meet a bard named Gabriel Rose, who wears an odd looking robe and uses one of those very small crossbows that fires tiny little arrows made of metal. He thought that I needed protecting! I'm sure he was just being nice, but it was very funny. He is pretty good at talking to people, and seems to know a lot about tehk...tekno...about robots and stuff. Dad always says it is good to know people who are good at things you are not. Good at.

We stopped at this shop that sells strange potions. I'm not sure why we went, but Gabriel found it very interesting. Then we went to the chieftains house which is very big and made of stones. I do not know why anyone would want to live in it. We arrived at the same time as a dwarf named Bandar. I have heard of him. I know he will be a good ally, because he is an enemy of the Technic League, who are friends with robots. Plus he has armour, a large hammer, and is a dwarf. With him was a human warrior who had a pair of swords and big eyes. I am not sure if he can speak, but Bandar said that he helped smash a robot, so I think he is good too. There were also two magic-users. One is a tall man named Berlik, who seemed very jumpy. Maybe he was scared of all the big weapons. There is also a very, very pale gnome wizard. I think there is something wrong with him.

A dwarven lady said the chieftain was not in his house, because he was taken away by robots. She offered some sort of reward for us finding him, but I would have gone to rescue him anyway. The robots took him underneath a lake, so Gabriel went and found a wizard who waved a magic stick at us so we could breath underwater. We then went to the lake and swam down a dark tunnel. Berlik stopped being jumpy and gave us all glowing magic rocks so we could see. It is nice to have a magic-user that thinks of things like that. He is also not bad at tracking things. So now we are here in a cave that is not full of water, which is good, because the wizard said the spell would stop after a few hours. There are no robots yet, but tracks lead off around the corner.

More later.
