I was studying my formulae book on the way to Free City and was ambushed by some goblins and orcs. I was able to take one of the orcs out in one hit, then tried to talk the goblin into leaving me alone, but they did not back down. All of a sudden as if from out of nowhere a fireball took out a lot of them. I saw four people in the distance coming to help me out. After they helped with the orc and goblins, I came to learn their names, Hazard - Big guy with the whips, Arathana - Beautiful and quite possibly very deadly with those swords of hers, Nexus - seems to have taken the wizard's path of magic, and Allustan - is Nexus's mentor.
I found out they were headed towards blackwall keep, the same place that i was going to make a pit stop before continuing on to Free City. We agreed to travel there together, and upon arrival to the keep it was under attack by some lizard folk. We were able to defend the keep, and find the captured blackwall keep soldiers.
I dont understand why the lizard folk attacked, they are normally peaceful . We may have to find out what is causing this.
I havent had any friends since Roy. I may stick around with these people, they seem very accepting.
