We went shopping. No one will sell me a striking rune, but everyone else got stuff they wanted.
On our way back, we saw a big crowd. We went to see what they were looking at, and there's a dead body. It looks like he was thrown out of a window on the third story of a building. Detective Coffee is there searching the body. I asked around who it was, but all I could glean was that it was some thug. I'm thinking it's some Raylon. Nathaniel asked Mr. Green if it smelled like Raylon's room, but Mr. Green couldn't tell.
Grass found me later around Primrose. He's changed his hair, and he's got a new job with Renee--he's done with the life of crime. I asked him about the dead guy, and Grass indicated it was Raylon.
We reported to Gurt for the barge job. He's paying half now, and half when the job is complete. We're taking supplies down to a new settlement called Trinity. Our job is to guard the goods. There have been reports of unusually large animals that eat anything they can get to. And there are bandits everywhere.
We set off on the trip. They had us in littler boats off of the main boat. There were also two smaller rowboats that most of us were riding in.
The first day is uneventful.
The 19th is also uneventful.
In the morning of the 20th, something happened. As we were heading up the river, we were beset by brigands. There was a caster and two archers. They wanted us to land the barge and hand over the goods. We refused. We landed the rowboats on shore and brought the fight to them. Gan was nearly downed. Ham did go unconscious. We took out the caster and one of the archers, and the last one fled.
The rest of the day passed peacefully.
