I have left the home forest, and i headed west... or is it east... anyway, i found what i have been looking for all these years, the ocean. I work on a transport ship, delivering goods all over Ferun. Its lots of fun and hard work, with what i have been looking for; adventure.

I have spent a few weeks on the ship now and the capitan said to me "if you pick the lock i gave you you can sleep below deck with the rest of us." At first the task was impossible, then i found a quill, i used the quill to pick the lock and it worked! I think lock picking is a talent of mine.

I met a wizard in Baldur's Gate that i spent a night with, he told me that his philosphy was; 'take just what i came for, and im out the door again.' He proved true to that. He did enchant my quill though, made it so it cant be damaged when i use it to pick locks, i have been thinking of wearing the quill in my armor as a keep-safe.

I havent written in you for long, i have just been busy, but now that i have crow's-nest duty, i have a lot of time. I have fallen in love with the other wild elf on this ship, he says his name is Kalen. He's a good kisser, im never gunna lose him, elves live for a very long time, we can be together forever.

I cant belive it... he's gone. He was killed by pirates who wanted his gold. He faught so well... it's my fault he's gone, i couldnt handel the three attacking me so i called to him, breaking his concentration. He tryed to run and help me but they got him, just before the capitan and two others from the ship showed up and killed the pirate scum.

I was a fool to get so close to him... Im over it now, im only ninty seven, i have my whole life ahead of me. We are back on our normal routeen, taking and making deliverys.

We were arrested in Amn, i think i saved the crew by picking the lock though. We ran and got to the ship, we were attacked by the guards and some wizards calling themselves 'Cowld Wizards,' but we escaped none-the-less.

Its been a long time and much has happened; I have been promoted through the ship many times and have learnt to master using two swords at a time, and im a good shot with throwing knives.

I am in the Underdark now... If i keep moving i should be alright, cant stay still, strange animals are down here, no water, no nature, nothing.

I have found a ship and a river! I payed the wierd looking gnome capitan to take me to somewhere safe. It was a strange ship; no crew, just magic. He took me to a place called the Blue Mushroom, so i asked for some with less strange gnomes and they said go to Sanctuary, so i did. Sanctuary is a odd place, i don't think and other sailors are here.

I met a halfling having problems with a friend throwing himself away on the ale. I told her i'd help her out, and i did in my own way. When i met the half elf i was to help, i was amazed, i think im falling in love again... But i had to help, so i told him to follow me and we went to the arena, i yelled at him and tryed to make him see what he was doing to his friends. He tryed to run, so i had to get my bow, i told him not to move nd he said "go ahead, shoot me." So i did... Eventualy the hin i promosed to help showed up with a human and stoped me from finnishing the lesson. The half elf has disapeared and i think i have failed the hin, but i wont give up, its not my way.

I like the half elf, and i know how to save him... a kiss... i will save him with a kiss.

I found the half elf again, i do thik i love him. He was about to go with a palidin or priest that said they would put him out of his misery, i told him to wait and i pulled his helm off, then i did it, i kissed him. He tryed to push me back and i accepted that, my ways can be confusing. He seemed confused and said we needed to talk, so we went to the grotto and talked. He told me he had come out of a bad relationship and needed time, i said i would always be there. Then we kissed again, he kissed first this time.

he says his name is Jon, and hes a good kisser, im never gunna lose him, no matter what!

I have been thinking of joining the watch, maybe thats a good way to help people better. I have noticed many unlawfull actions in lower Sanctuary, maybe joining the watch will help me help Sanctuary.

I have sent a letter to a group of knights about joining there faction, maybe i can get som authorety to help Sanctuary through that. I have found myself thinking about Jon again, i cant wait to find him, i guess we are just both busy at the moment. I have to keep my skill honed if i have any chance of joining these knights, they seem to have a reputation....

And with joining the watch, if i get the job as a knight i wont do it, if i dont then ill become a watch member.
