Extra dimensional books are mean.

13th of Aurun.
 
I finally got to town today. Quickly looked for a drink. It was a long road. I miss my armor, but best not dwell on family matters.
 
Not long there after as a warm meal and mead warmed my belly I saw a posting for work. Good need the money to pay for food. Maybe some place to sleep.
 
I meet my parters in....task? Yes. In the presence of one Ms LuLu. Lulu and her Book. What a book it is. Crisp pages, bound tight. Still smells feashly pressed. Knowledge is waiting.

And when my fellow dwarf Dwufe called his gods wrath down I distracted the beast just as our dragonborn secured a vicious blow. Weakened now, Dwufe walked forward and melted our foe with holy might.
 
I must say for my fist day here it was quite exciting. Meeting new people has never been my strong suit. To meet three in one day that I actually like? A rarity for sure.
