Walden Heights

Pemu gnome, I wish he had stayed out of all of this, for all our sakes. Overhearing us talking to Ailuin in tower, yaga, what was he doing listening to us? Now we have to trust him to hold his tongue? I would be more comfortable if he was with someone I trusted, as apparently keeping him somewhere he cannot blather is wrong simply because only example I could think of was dungeon. Pish. It is shame Tata and Nana have gone, I would have felt better if this fool had been left in their care. Not to mention it would have been nice to see them once more, I have missed them over years.
At least we no longer have to worry about prisoner we took in mountains. And I look forward to getting my new armour when we next return to this damn town. Even if it was expensive. It feels strange to spend so lavishly after all these long years, 200g. I would never have thought of spending that much year ago on glorified clothing.

On approach to Walden Heights we came across these giants. Or something, to be honest I am not sure what they were but they made hideous noise. We tried to sneak past them, but after climbing cliff face as she tried to flank them Babcha fell and seemed to attract their attention. Fortunately she was quick enough to disappear somewhere before they saw her and I managed to get Uthal to throw stone in opposite direction to try and distract them. I think it worked. Then I saw Babcha at top of cliff, she was waving at us like reed in wind trying to get us to follow her. I quickly made my way to base and climbed rope she had lowered and Nettle followed. Uthal, pemee, then went up to things and seemed to start talking to them. I have little idea what happened but they seemed provoked to anger. At that point I feared worst, but rather than attacking Uthal as I had feared they started fighting amongst themselves. Babcha then loosed her bow and I followed with my crossbow. Soon three things were on floor and we could safely continue. No thanks to Nettle.

I hate orcs, savages. We arrived at Walden Heights to sight of normal town, or so it looked. Red Dragon I saw on wing soon changed my perspective and it was not long before we could make out green skins in town. We hastened to town only to find mob of barbaric creatures attacking woman and man and their children. We all rushed in to try and save them but in spite of our best efforts we could not save mother. Thank yaga Nettle actually did something this time. And I think it good thing all those scum lay dead when we were done.
We then fled to keep with yet more orcs chasing us. I am glad we are all safe now, but yaga, Babcha cut it close. To close for my comfort.
