The following is my life inscribed quickly in short lines, so they might amuse someone who is stuck in this place as me ...

Well It all begans in Selgaunt, in a very wealthy city, where i spend my days as a rich kid... Well my fathers were slave traders and so i had monney to get in a lot of troubles, and no matter how bad i would behave myself, i always had an Buy-out option forget by my family money. But beeing raised in such place taught me that if you get your objective it doesn't matter much what you did to get there.

After i grew up, since slavery was seeing with bad eyes by some of the population, i decided to start a business instead of just follow my inheritance. Well i bought an old metal mine about 4 days of walk from Selgaunt, and started to recruit some laborers to do the hard work while i kept the negotiations.

The mine wasn't doing very well, so i decided to make of all the workers pay for the tools they were using, and i used the money from the profits to create a security to my mine.

One thing was certain, a family united works more, so now the new law to be recruited was to work with all your family in the mines together! Children of 9 years or more are fully capable of handling with pickaxes and mine shafts! But still, a lot of the workers where loners, who never had money for anything in their lifes.

The thing is, i got a little greedy , and i found ways and more ways to keep all the laborers stuck near the mine. I built to then, houses and forbid then to live anywere else, cause "I couldn't spend money enough to keep all laborers safe". Of course that they also payed for the Housing and the protection taxes...

Well , after that i declared that a worker should do all the shopping inside the Small settlement that was now called "village of Gem". I surrounded the area with some walls and i belive the village was growing steadly fast!

Well some people didn't like the idea of living in small , overpopulated houses and don't keep anything of what they earned, so they rioted and tryed to run away from the Mines... Im glad i had a good number of loyal soldiers, and they captured almost all of the escapes alive... Some dead but that doesn't really metter, as they all would be used to settle an example to the others.

I just couldn't bear to loose slav...sorry workers in my mine, cause they had family and they made me rich, so i just did something minor to the ones captured alive, Like loosing a hand, or the booth eyes or have the fingers of the foot riped off, so they might not be able to run off again...

In months my village was going in a outstanding way! My money was increasing steadly, and whenever some officer came and sayd anything doubtful about my earnings, a Shut up box was sent to him, with a good liqour, some money and some other small gift as a golden ring. In any way, i never had any trouble with the so called "law". Here with my loyal and well payed soldiers i was the law.

I kept buying soldiers, and recruiting poor citizens of nearby towns for the amazing work in the Gem village. Things were going in an outstanding way , and beasides of the iron, we now had found a vein of topaz, that made me only richer!

But the escape attempts continued to grow, no matter what good i gave to the slaves, they always wanted more and more. After i made a comunnity pool so the workers would refresh thenselves in the summer days, they dumped ore in there making it unusefull, and after i made a comunnity house for the smaller children, so the parents could work without worrying with then, they torched it!

Well the responsables where caught and received a greater penalty, because they destroyed part of the comunity and endangered all the citizens by doing that! so they where chained in cages of 50 foot tall, and let there to starve to death (yes we gave then water, im not so cruel as it might look).

To my friends and to the soldiers , it was an easy and fun life, manny drinks, many fun, many girls and games... Welth brings lots of people to your house...

I would put myself in the line for my people , i really would , but i wish i could bring to then better life, as almost all of the people looked sad while working , so i hired a caravan of halflings to permanently do the entertaining for my people.

But one day, i saw one of the halflings spit in a little girl and slap her in the face, telling that she would never be part of the caravan cause she was a dirty slave! I couldn't hold myself and i killed the halfling myself! and this got to the ears of the rest of the caravan.

I offered then much gold for the life of that creature that i killed, but they didn't took it. It was maybe the first time i saw myself without buying out my solution in life! But they left the camp and sayd they would never come back.

The life in the workers camp was getting better and as i saw that liberty was a Essential need of the citizens i started to forge plans to set then free. I had enough income to pay then all indeed, but i should free then in small doses , otherway i would be bankrupted and abandoned by all...

One month after that the caravan was back , and decided to accept the large sum of money that i offered then before. But what i didn't knew was that this money would only support their payment for a large group of mercenaries that would try to overthrown me! And late that night the attack started, in a very sneaky way...

IN the middle of the night, i was waked by my first liutenent and he advised me to try to escape, but as i looked to the outside of the gates i saw lots of torches beeing holded by some halflings and other creatures... I ran to the mines then, trying to find a salvation and was spoted by some of the members of the caravan. They ran after me and my only option left was run inside the mines.

I wasn't familliar with the tunnels, i had a life good enough to never need to enter in there. But then when i tough i was completly lost i found a girl, or she found me, and she told me to follow her, i did without a blink, and after a while we were near a portal and then she spoke to me:

"I know you are not evil sir, because you saved me from the cruel halfling, but now i don't know how to help you. This portal was found a year ago and we havn't reported it to anyone because some think its a way to the freedom. Some just don't know what is in the other side. It Might have monsters or freedom, but no one never came back. They say it is a only way path. "

I was there amused by how gentle that young girl was, and stoned for worry , i didn't knew how much time till they find me, and when i heard some footsteps i just sayd thank you and good bye to the girl and jumped in.

After that i was in some type of cave, im not sure, but it had an odd smell like fungus.... It was very dark so i prepared for receive any monster that lurk in these shadows with my faithfull sword and my blessed shield, the best that money could buy. Well i didn't find a danger so soon in the cave, but after i fall in a bigger hole, i lost my good equipment. Then after 2 days i heard some people running and i asked for help while in the hole.

They helped me out , and i found out that they story , witch was running from a slave camp. I feared for my life, but soon the druegar scout showed me that they werent my slaves, but of something far more worse!

I run with then, weakened but run, till i saw a brighter light, "The sanctuary"one cheered, but soon was hited by an poisoned arrow. Then the other stayed to help him, but i left then behind and kept running till i saw it was safe.

I soon found out that i was miles and miles under the earth, and now i seek for an exit day and night... Altough making a coin here would be easy with such a hipocritical system of politics running...

But i do not forget the ones who help me. I will one day rescue these foes from the druegar, and after i found an exit i will clain my Money once again and use it well... But im not sure what would be this well spend money. Maybe i am here to reflect about what i did and choose another step diferently, but maybe i just had to think about myself once again... I will see what the Gods had to me in such a place, for sure a valuable lesson....
