Year of Wild Magic, 14 Present Reckoning, 24th of Eleasias
My Love,
My new companions and I fought our first battle together this
morning, and we suffered our first loss. Unfortunately it was one of
those we could least afford to lose that died, the priest of Tymora
that I mentioned in my last letter. It seems that the luck she had
allotted to him ran out this morning. I can only hope that that this
does not leave us too short of healing.
I think I may have trouble adjusting to my new life in some ways.
Our battle this morning was to destroy a large skeleton that had
killed what appears to have been a band of adventurers and was
endangering the road. Some of my companions seem to feel they have
rights to the property of these fallen, although as we know this is
not the law. I am now in a quandary; I don’t feel completely
comfortable turning a blind eye, but my life will depend upon my
relationship with these people. This is something for me to think
over for the next few days.
Most outspoken in this vein is one Torstag of Tethyr, who claims to
have once worked to uphold the law of that land. As if Tethyr has
had proper laws since they overthrew their monarchy and exchanged it
for anarchy. Now I think about him I wonder about his position with
our group. He joined us by arrangement with Na’tally’s uncle and not
through the Guild as the rest of us did. Is he even a Guild member I
wonder? Never the less he appears to claim equal rights with the
rest of the group and none have yet queried this. Something else for
me to think about then is whether to broach this subject ...
Yours forever
Alemnia
