13 Feb
After the insanity we just dealt with, I search the wreckage for survivors. I search many corpses, but I only find one ally. They are trapped beneath rubble and I try to dig them out. It’s hard and I almost drop the last piece onto them, but I save them. They are unconscious, but breathing.
I make a makeshift bandage and stem the bleeding. I slap them awake. (+1 minion)
14 Feb / 15 Feb
A few more awake and look at me with hope. I gain a henchman, no longer merely a minion myself. Velvetfang joins me.
I finally find time to rest.
16 Feb
I decide head away from home to save myself from the Army of Light. I decide to journey at night.
I become lost at night and it takes me longer to get to my destination than it should have. (-3 meal rations)
As I walk, I see an old man coming. Before I can figure out if he’s a friend or foe, he attacks me with his staff. (-1 HP)
I finally arrive at the edge of the Bloodmire Swamp.
17 Feb
I make my way into the swamp and eventually come across a hag stirring her cauldron. She offers me help at a cost.
I decide to try for persuasion, for hags are nothing to mess with. The hag is swayed by my words. (I only have to do 2/3 favors)
She says if I help her fix the brew she will give me something in return.
I try to get a rare swamp flower for the hag. I quickly and safely find the strange flower.
I drink from the cauldron. I feel no ill effects, the hag seems disappointed, but does not go back on her bargain.
She tells me I might get the help I need by finding the Silk Lord Phegor and gives me some cryptic directions and advice.
18 Feb
I find a blood tick and we must fight.
I think back to all I know about blood ticks and remember quite a bit. (+2 bonus to next roll)
I try to scare it off. It pauses before attacking, giving me the advantage.
I kill the blood tick (+1 GP)
