My First Day!

by K

Several weeks (I lost track of time) after leaving my monastery, I saw a random group of strangers and decided to follow them. Being the somewhat shy (and awkward) individual that I am, I hid until I felt comfortable saying hello. Before I had the chance to introduce myself, the group came across a GIANT spider which wasn't great...then I saw a man stuck inside of a web sac and knew I had to help him! While I worked on freeing this man, I could hear the group talking about whether or not they were going to fight this spider. One of the members from this group, the tiefling (that's what she says she is anyway), noticed me and then A WALL CAME OUT OF NOWHERE and I couldn't see them anymore. I was very confused.
 
After this wall showed up, I figured I should probably finish saving the man from the web sac so I did just that. He clung to me for dear life...and then we ran away. Thank goodness for that random wall! As it turned out, the whole group ran too and I was finally able to introduce myself! Then Connor, the man I saved, introduced himself as a scout so it's a good thing I saved him (I think?). I like saving people. During my time with the group, I saw many things I have never seen before. Like they had magic paper they used to talk to people who were far away. MAGIC PAPER I TELL YOU. I mean...I know about magic and I have heard stories but MAGIC PAPER?!
 
Anyway, we started going down the mountain after all that. Borris and Sam helped clear the way and, although I couldn't really see the sky, I could tell it was storming pretty hard. At the bottom of the mountain, Noelani revealed a crazy looking spider orb thing and held it up to the sky. Freaking lightning struck the orb and I got hit (we all got hit) but we SURVIVED. I felt a little nauseous but mostly unaffected. I also feel this weird presence in my head now...I guess that means I'm a FREAKING SUPER HERO. The guys back at the monastery are never going to believe me. Sadly, the spider orb thing disappeared but Noelani seemed pretty happy about the situation so that's probably good.
 
After some discussion, the group decided that we should travel through Orc Territory to find some prince guy? Something about the whole world being under attack. So we finally get to this guy and then everyone has to evacuate and I was a little overwhelmed so I just followed the group. I also noticed that this prince guy had a weird stone in his hand and, when he squeezed it, meteors came out of the sky. METEORS. I think he killed like half the orc population. What a time to be alive!
