The First Account - Inevitability

What kind of Adventure is this?: 
Story

Many years ago, in the wilds of Enedwaith, I was tracking two known thieves by the name of Adaryn and Jairyth, old adversaries of mine whom I was never overly fond.

The First Account - Arrival

What kind of Adventure is this?: 
Diary

Since my coming to Eriador I have been met with many obstacles. Given that we are now entering a world of peace, the road from the South proved anything but. Creatures and bandits hounded my every step, but I was able to evade them with relative ease. I travelled light, with very little items of value worthy of a robbery. Nevertheless, I was well-prepared for conflict.

The Return

As Drevorin passed through the West Gate and made his way along the cobblestone streets, he was met with a cacophony of familiar senses which poured from his memory. As he walked by the Scholar’s Stair, he marked the place where he first encountered the bandit known as Sparrow. Atop those steps would be a landing, where he would converse with Ilaru under the stars.

The Scent of Evening Flowers

It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of Bree-town life. Sometimes it’s good to get away from it all. On occasion, Lovejoy makes a point of trekking out into the wilderness and setting up camp, where he might capture a glimpse of the stars and bask within the scent of the evening flowers that float heavily in the air.

Older but not altogether wiser, it did not take much convincing for Remis to fall back into the Thrice Lucky gang, now serving as Trate Hawthorn’s right-hand man.

Story

Raffles yawned as he wandered into the main bar area of the pony, it had been long evening yesterday, listening to Barliman go into great detail about the shortcomings and general lack of professionalism of apparently all the nearby Inns and Hostelries, following the visit of Maddoc from the Crossways House.

“Morning Waffles” Barliman called

Raffles immediately thought of second breakfast.

“Come over”

Producing what looked like coffee and, not a plate of waffles, but muffins…  he beckoned to Raffles.
