Yorik's Log
by 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.
Weve started guarding
what shipments we can,
but were low on guards
and the necessities to
repair our gear. Weve
had to divert some of
our guardforce to Minoc
to help guard the
shipments of ore and
weaponry here safely. It
doesnt help that weve
had a few deserters
recently. The citizens
dont like it, but at
least the monks dont
mind. They never cared
for having us here in the
first place. At least they
dont raise a fuss.
Much as I dont like the
monks, theyre blasted
good healers. Its a good
thing weve got them
here as several of the
guards whove been
helping escort the
shipments have come back
wounded and worse for
wear by fighting off
bandits. My post here at
the guardhouse hasnt
seen much other than the
passing caravans. Im not
sure whether to be
thankful for that or not,
though my wife certainly
thinks I should be. Still,
Id rather be fighting like
my fellow guards.
Weve 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 hell need
our help. Im wondering if
I shouldnt 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
wifes 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 werent
expecting such a strong
showing from mere
brigands. It wasnt until
after we checked their
dead and the few
survivors had fled that
we realized that they
werent 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
Im going to listen to
the wife and find a safer
line of work.
