End of the (Ship-)Line
However, the Headsmasher made a number of unwarranted comments about Francine. After that, he allowed me to retaliate in kind because he wanted to spar. He believed that the life of a Hellknight could be for him, and wanted to demonstrate his ability, or lack of it. He was able to stand for ten seconds - training recommended, by a patient instructor. I regret not knocking him senseless. Though, the appearance of a friendly dragon compensated for this. It took the form of a dwarf, and the Headsmasher was the only one not to witness this. Of course, when the dwarf dragon then wanted a brawl, the large man obliged. The dragon eventually knocked him off the ship, and surprised him by picking him up from the sea in his dragon form. Hopefully, he has learned to be better. But I know this to be false.
I can only hope that these companions I once thought of as strange travellers find good luck and fortune in the journeys ahead. The powers that be know that they need it. And I can only wish that captain Dormaruk never has to face the ultimate test of an officer, like I once did. Hopefully, it is not the last time I see them.

The major events and journals in Frances's history, from the beginning to today.
The Strange Travellers in Amarley
[justify]The last few days have been spent alongside Dormaruk the seafaring minotaur, who very much lives up to the sailor's name. A bit too much. When we arrived at Amarley he charged into the inn, whose owner he knew. The other notable people inside, wh...
11:02 pm - 14.06.2021The Pair of Owlbears
[justify]We entered the forest west of Amarley. None of us understood the sign just at the edge of it, and Dormaruk ended up throwing it at Nakor, adding to his head trauma. Eugene vanished with a portion of our gold. With some strategising, I suggested w...
08:25 pm - 22.06.2021Before the Storm
[justify]Yesterday was somewhat interesting. Before leaving our camp and the dead owlbears behind us, I spoke with the group, and the Headsmasher in particular - about his decision not to aid Dormaruk during the battle. He appears to feel an obligation to...
10:48 pm - 06.07.2021A Duel for the Tailor
[justify]Our plan of attack on the cave was initially a partial success. The Headsmasher's constructs managed to lure the sentries towards us, and we took down the ogre in a somewhat coordinated ambush. However, the trickster Nakor attempted to confuse th...
02:26 pm - 16.07.2021Day at the Raging Bull
[justify]We turned in Deorgria to the local herbalist upon returning to the village. Payment was received, the contract ended, and signatures filled. The trickster got his 75 oranges to add to his existing infinite amount of them. The captain directed us ...
09:09 pm - 29.07.2021Remembrance
[justify]The day started early in the dawn. Not for Dormaruk, the trickster, and especially not the Headsmasher, whom I and the trickster had to wake up. Dormaruk had some unfinished business with Deorgria. The Headsmasher was not keen on being up in time...
11:00 pm - 31.07.2021Where all Roads End
[justify]This morning I had to wake up the Headsmasher and Nakor the trickster. A routine affair. The Headsmasher was not properly dressed - at all - this was no surprise, and I have seen worse in the regimental barracks. He also tried to disguise an obvi...
11:08 pm - 09.08.2021Brawling and Petitioning
[justify]I spent some time playing dice with a pair of dwarves at the Sour Barracuda. It is a rough place. Fortune stood on my side in the game. The others arrived later in the evening, and it took little time before Dormaruk noticed an old adversary brag...
09:53 pm - 16.09.2021A Royal Disaster
[justify]It seems Shelyn did not keep us. The dinner itself was passable, and the king annulled the contract with the White Sentinels. Sergeant von Kalvar was happy to relinquish command back of the 14th. However, the king informed us that Nakor was a pri...
04:41 pm - 21.09.2021Commander's Notes: Soldiers of the 14th
[justify][b]Sergeant Günther von Kalvar[/b] Male, 43 years old, human. Zimean, from Kalvar. Fellow landsknecht and experienced adventurer. Missed a promotion due to my actions at Makhattala. On my recommendation, succeeded as sergeant of the 14th after ...
06:49 pm - 22.09.2021Riddle's End and the Future
[justify]Two days have gone. During décadi, after finishing my unit update, I went to pay the Headsmasher a visit. Earlier than I wanted, but a rude and nocturnal awakening were conditions I could not ignore. Also, he had been sleeping enough already. I ...
05:26 pm - 09.10.2021The Man of Troubles
[/justify]This day can only be summarised as being detrimental. At first, we rescued eight crewmates from a ship that was under attack from a kraken. Upon docking in Nova Aera, we headed for the Salty Bucket, the captain's tavern of choice. The rest of th...
08:37 pm - 11.10.2021End of the (Ship-)Line
[justify]The rest of our journey did indeed go well. I told the captain and the rest of the crew about my intention to depart alongside the company, in part due to the significant risk to life for my unit posed by the prince's antics, and in part due to t...
