Male Halfling Swashbuckler 1 (Mouser)
Taeren slumbered, dreaming of eating a large dinner. His mum's cooking was so good. But strangely, though surrounded by a table of dining halflings, he couldn't see anyone's face. He came awake suddenly, feeling a lurch. As his eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a large furry creature. A bear? An ape? The halfling crept backwards slowly, hoping the creature wasn't hungry.
Journal I don't know how I got here, but I do know one thing. I WILL return to my home. Wherever that is. I write this journal in the halfling tongue in the hopes that my captors will not be able to read it. They don't show much interest in my personal belongings. These strange beings--some grotesque, some impossibly beautiful, some cruel, some indifferent--seem to be using us as some kind of game. They feed us well and do not harm us, but they refuse to answer questions about why we are here. Some days they let us fight for sport. They tell us we need to sharpen our skills so I do my best to learn. I will take any skills they can teach me. The others are mostly human, they are big and slow, so I can hold my own by dodging and getting in little cuts. At first they underestimated me but I think I am earning their respect. Today they turned us loose in the woods and let us find our way back. I was paired with a big human--strong but clumsy. We fashioned weapons--a pair of spears for me and a massive club for the human. We got attacked by a wolf and I climbed a vine. The human was just holding him off when he tripped over a root so I had to jump down and poke the wolf before he went down. I could not have held him off, but I distracted him just long enough for my companion to club him in the head. We are learning we have to stick together to survive. |
