The New Party

by Raven

So here I am, finally getting some rest after an incredibly long day of battling undead creatures. Too much has happened. I'm with a different party now.

I've been called to accompany Feather d'Lyrandar and her crew to Mror Holds, in search for a relic with necromantic energy. Of course they call me specifically, for this relic was the head of the lich that killed my father. Of course.
 
We're in the woods of Talenta Plains now. We're taking a break, so we set up camp. I decide to patrol the area just to check if the coast is clear for any potential danger.
 
While patrolling around, I hear a commotion a few meters away, near the wolves’ den. I decide to check it out, because I hear screaming...and arguing? Hiding behind one of the trees, I see a rather odd mix of a party of 7 creatures, fighting 3 wolves in front of their den. Someone has fallen to the ground. The rest seem to be in a panic. How pathetic.
 
I take out my longbow and put an arrow in it. I breathe deeply, and try my best to aim at one of the wolves. I shoot.
 
The arrow flies, and completely misses the wolf and hits a tree.
 
Oh my il-Yannah, what a waste of an arrow.

And that's where I first met them. To be honest, it's one hell of a weird combination of a party.
 
There's Oi. She asks too many questions, but seems to be quite friendly. She asks too much about my eyes whenever they glow. For some reason I feel like I've met her before or she reminds me of someone from the orphanage.
 
There's Ghost. He has a lot of secrets too, and is very cautious. Lately with our most recent adventure at the Jenga Tree I sensed a lot of strong emotions coming from him. I tried to ask him about it, but he didn't say anything.
 
There's Claw. He always dies. Or is the first one to fall unconscious. But he also transforms into a cat. Cats have nine lives though, right?
 
There's Mission, who seems to not completely understand social norms yet. He always says the weirdest things...
 
There's Winter, who was recently in a trance. I don't truly understand him yet. I just know he would rather sleep rather than party.
 
Lastly, there's Udez. His voice kinda creeps me out. He's good for battles though.
 
I don't know what to think yet about these creatures as a whole. I don't even know how long I will be with them. But for now, they seem to be good company.
 
I finally have the Deathly Diadem with me. It will be useful for when we encounter the undead again, but I'm not really sure if I wanna wear it...
 
As of now, I think we're on our way to Sharn. We've lost Feather in a zombie chase--but she may be hiding somewhere in this ship. Or not. I'm too tired to search right now. Kronk and Yzma turned into zombies and we had to kill them. That made me really sad, they were my favorite crew members. Kronk made really good spinach puffs. I'm gonna offer a moment of silence for Kronk, his spinach puffs, Yzma, and their arguments about levers.
 
I haven't been to Sharn in years. This will be interesting.
