The Thoughts of Mon da Oth

[Mon-Da-Oth]

I took great care to follow the falcon the best that I could. Its trail took me too close to the land the forest demons call home. They call their land Rian or so Shaman had once told me.

In the distance I can see a fortified village. I hope it is a safe place as there is death all around me in these lands. I hope that once I am there that I can find peace.

The village has many strange people in it. There are also forest....ah Elves as I was taught to call them but they wish me no harm. How different from my life with my clan. For the first time in my life I have known friendship and have been excepted.

My friends are very different from others I have known. There is a little man know as Yano who I believe also comes from a tribe. He doesn't say much and is possibly as in awe of this land as I.

The demon...ah Elf that I mentioned called himself Lomir and seems most kind. He spends a great deal of time with Yano.

There appear to be two brothers as well. One known as Nat has the powers of a Shaman but claims that the gods help others including me. I am not sure of this. His brother who is called Daimen is always choking when he speaks. I tried patting him on the back but it did not help.

There is another. A Blessed one that I know not the name of. I am not sure he cares for me. His comments seem almost insulting and his attituted remindes me of Dimock. There would have been blows between us but I remember Shaman talking to me saying Mon da Oth so I did not strike him.

My friends now call me what Shaman called me. I now have a name among friends. I am Mon da Oth.

Once again I met with the human called Nathaniel and his brother Damien. The little man named Yano joined us together as well. A Forest demon..er elf travled with us as well who called herself Rhiannon. I know not where Lomir nor the blessed one known as Faust were. We could not locate them anywhere with the walls of this village.

Nathaniel angered me by requesting that I teach the language of the Orcs. The scum whoes blood runs through my veins and makes me a cursed one. I don't think Nathaniel meant anything by it after I gave it some thought. He doesn't seem to understand what being a cursed one means. Even after I tried to explain it to him he insisted that I was not cursed. I don't understand how that can be so. It shows in my face and my body. I can not bear to view my reflection so evident is it.


Damien continues to struggle with battle. The rush of the blood in his veins is more than he can stomach and although he fights bravely he is ill afterwards. It is during this time he is most weak. I will watch after him as best as I can. He reminds me a little of Shaman in how he has difficulty speaking. However when he sings it is the sound of birds in the mornings and the trickle of water though a stream. I wonder if he knows the tale of the Gong of the Tugre.

The elf woman, Rhannon, likes to walk seperate from the group. This places her in much danger and although she is a deadly fighter she can not take the damage from the blows of her enemies. I have had to rescue her from danger many times, allowing the wounds she would have suffered to fall upon my cursed self. Such is the nature of these forest demons from what I understand. She seemed to find great ammusement at my bathing. I find it hard to believe that she would not bath herself. She also seems to like Damien alot as they spend a lot of time togethers. This is good as it could mean a blessed one would be born.

Yano as usual is still very quiet. I guess it is the nature of his tribe. Together we fought a spirt wolf called Yellow Eyes. However it seems that we have angered this spirit as Yano saw Yellow Eyes in the village. Damien says that someone summonded Yellow Eyes to come after us. Why someone would do so I do not know. We have meet no enemies that I know of. I say that if Yellow Eyes wishes to fight again then let him face us. I killed him once and can do so again.

We also traveled back into the farm lands to fight the bugs that are eating the farms crops. We found a way into one of the mounds and found the mother beast that is laying the beetle eggs. She was very protective and both Nathaniel and I fell before her. Yano was able to run in hide in the dirt of the mound. When the rest of us are once again together will try again to defeat this enemy.

I am filled with both anger and sadness this day. I am not sure if I am mad at myself or mad at Damien. I am sad becuase it seems that I have lost a friend due to this anger.

We travled back to the beetle caves to show to the elf Lomir where the mother beetle lays her eggs. Yano lead the way becuase he knows best the maze of tunnels beneith the farmlands. Nathaniel was still wounded in the hospital but his brother Damien joined us.

Damien seemed brave enough eariler in the day as we fought the goblins that took the spirit axe but upon entering the warrens he seemed to loose all control of himself. He would run away during battle screaming like a child at the top of his lungs. He would then get lost in the tunnels and alert more of the earth dwellers to our location. It appeared that oftenwe would be overwhelmed and at one time Damiens screams got the attention of the Father Beetle. Through much effort we defeated him though. But Damien was burned by the Fathers spit and would not even fight after that. His actions caused the Mother beetle to find us and we soon found ourselves back in the hospital.

He would not join us after that. I even asked his brother to talk to him about his actions as they put us all in grave danger. I think the little man Yano wanted to beat him untill he passed out but with held his blows. I too was very angry with him but as I know it is not good to keep anger among friends.

After much looking we found him drinking in the travern. I was so happy to see him as he caused us much worry. I gave him big hug and lifted him from his bench but he turned hostile towards me and told me to leave. I thought he would feel better if he punched me. The children in my clan where always happy when they beat on me but Damien didn't want to hit me. I promised him I would not hit him back but he was still angry with me.

I feel that I have lost a friend and that is why I am angry.

Defeat. The word sticks in my head like a forest demon arrow. To think that the bodies of the dead could possess such strenght. Shaman never mentioned such things to me.

Damien seems to still hold a grudge against me. He will not approach the group as long as I am with them. Such is the life of a cursed one. I should be gratful that I could even considered him a friend for a day.

There appear to be a group of small men like Yano who wish to wage war on the village. Today we fought them but they had much skill and all of fell before them. We should be better prepaired next time.

The Blessed One, Faust claims to be from a tribe that I have not heard of. I would be foolish to think that the only tribes would be near the Losa Mountains. It was good to see him back with us. His blood counters any evil that mine might bring to the group.

We also encountered a tribe of Gnolls near the Goblin forest. The shaman of the tribe seem to speak true but when we attempted to do as he asked at great risk to ourselves we found that we had be made fools of.

The only sucess this day was against the Tribe of Varania who had stolen a boat from the peoples of the village. While we could not return the boat we did find at map that was on board.

[Mon-Da-Oth]

I spoke with Faust today prior to our travels. It was strange that he could look straight at me and not see the curse upon my face. The curse is me. Its in my face, my hands, arms, legs, chest, voice and blood. I see it everytime I gaze into a pool of water. I am reminded of it when I see the fear in the face of others and the screams of the children should I pass to close to them. My spirit is wracked with it.

Faust also could not understand why I honor him with the title of Blessed One. I tried to explain to him they my tribe views the offspring of a Human and Elf to be blessed with the grace of the Elves. Such children are given high status in my tribe. He claims that he is an outcast in his tribe and views his blessing as a curse. I don't understand this. I will speak to Nathaniel about it as he seems most wise. Perhaps he can ask the spirits about it.

Faust and Lomir sought me out today. It felt so good to have friends want help from one such as I. It seems that there were some bandits that had attacked my friends. I made sure that together we paid them a visit they will not lightly forget. My blade sent many of their party to thier graves. It was glorious. They best not forget or I shall return and remind them again.

Once Yano caught up with us we found that we needed to return to the village. Faust had become infused with a sadness like that of Damien and did not wish to travel with us. I left him be less he dislike me as Damien does.

Yano, Lomir, and myself went to take care of a problem that once of the village warriors needed taken care of. More bandits hiding in a giant tree. They must not have heard how well we dealt with the others so they too fell to our might.

When returned Lomir had to return to his studies so Yano tracked Faust to a dark cave where in dwelt these lizard peoples. So many traps there were and most of my injuries were caused by these things. I took it upon myself to find them the best way I could and if I could not see them I triggered them instead to warn the others of the location. We traveled deep into the earth and fought many of their warriors. I believe we even fought their chief but I am not sure of that as I when I awoke I was on the floor in the inn. Perhaps I had been drinking to much and dreamt it all.

Today I found Yano and Damien talking together. It was good to see him again. It seems as if he is no longer angry with me but he does become frustrated with Yano and I. We were just trying to help him get a woman.

Yano's ways treat women as if they are property. I had heard of such customs but it is not the way of my clan. Instead women are in charge of house. No man may enter without womans approval. Sometimes men in my village anger thier wives and are forced to sleep outside during the nights. The men hunt to provide for the house. Without house and without hunt both would die. Such is the way of my tribe.

Yano found a harp for Damien. Damien was quite pleased but was selfish when Yano wanted to make good noise on the the harp. Woman in village gave Yano musical instrument but Yano could not make it work. Damien took that as well. I don't need instrument to make music. I just beat on my belly. It sounds like drum.

I was proud of Damien. He joined us on hunt and he didn't run away. I made sure that few touched him. He played nice music during battles. It worked well. We make sure we take Damien again. I will make sure he not get hurt to bad.

Only Yano could be found today. I searched in the gnome womans shop and the smiths. Also around the pond where I like to sit and watch the fish. I know not where the others were.

Yano also could not find the others. He is a a good tracker so if he would not find them then they must not be in village.

Yano is still looking for the thief the followed to the village. I offered to help him look again. We met with strange woman outside of Inn. She told Yano to look for others inside of house near wall. The house was very dark and once inside there was a large man guarding the house. I didn't not care for him. The look of his eyes spoke of death. Within house Yano found Elf woman. She say to Yano to take letter to little man saying that he is bad. We do this and little man get very angry and attack Yano and I. He also called friends and soon Yano was wounded and Mon soon followed.

Mon followed Yano back to little man. Two Elves were helping Yano defeat the little mans friends when I caught up. These Elves are very strange to Mon. I had been told that they disliked cursed ones and wouldn't trade with clan if they knew cursed one was in clan. The Elves of this village don't seem to care about curse. Or maybe they do and will not aid us when we most need it. Shaman say never trust those of Rian.

Yano and Mon returned to dark house and woman gave Yano nice ring. She must not like Mon because she not give one to me. This is how I was told that Elves would act towards cursed one. I was not surprised.

Not sure when Elf woman give Yano ring though. We did many chores for her including killing bandit chief and killing orc in house. Mon enjoyed seeing the life flee from the orc's eyes.

Yano say that these people in dark house theves but did not take seed that Yano look for. So we go back to crypts to see if thief in there. No thief just dead people whoes spirits can not escaped becuase thier body was burried and not burned. Mon must tell friends to burn Mon's body should he die. Mon want to see Shaman again and can not if spirit trapped in body. Mon also wishes to tell mother sorry he killed her when she give him life.

Yano and Mon destroy many bodies this day so that spirits can join ancestors. We do good work today. Also we found monk thief that Lomir look for. We take rotten belt to give to Lomir.

Mon tired now. I take nap and then bath.

This day was a day of missing friends. Although the Elf woman Rhiannon found me, along with Damien, she could not stay. I gave her skinny sword that Yano gave me. She seemed to like toy sword so when she asked if she could keep it I let her. She promise that she meet with us again later. Mon not sure to believe her. Like Shaman told Mon, "Ont ust fort deamon", which means don't trust the forest demons.

Mon talk to Damien. Convinced Damien to play for Mon by telling him that fishes in pond want to hear nice sounds from harp. Mon was glad Damien played. It was good and I think the fishes liked sound too. Mon wanted to hear Tale of Tugre but Damien not know it. I don't know what they teach Damien but how could they miss best story. I told tale to Damien best that I could so that he would know it.

Mon remember hearing story when Tale Weavers come to clan. Mon not allowed to listen with rest of clan. Only way Mon hear story is to hide in pile of waste used for fields and hope no one see or hear him. It smelted real bad but Mon liked nice stories.

After Mon tell Damien story we still not find others. Yano gone to look for thief I guess but not see Faust, Nathaniel, or Lomir in long time. Mon gots Lomirs belt so I hope I see him soon.

Met with women who Yano and Mon try to get for wife for Damien. Mon see Damien look at woman often but still he no talk with her. She say she is missing friend so Mon and Damien go to help her. Maybe Damien talk with her and get woman but Damien no say word to woman. We travel far looking for missing friend. We go into land with many orcs. No one told Mon about source of cursed blood living so close to village. Mon killed as many Orcs as I could. Mon even bash skull of orc shamans. Mon shall return to land and clear it of Orcs. No one seem to care that Orcs are there but Mon care and Mon will kill many more orcs. Mon will not allow Orcs to harm others in village.

We then go to land with many giants. Mon tried to fight giants but it was hard battle. Mon fell with great wounds many times. Mon not ready to fight giants but soon, very soon. Alas we no find missing friend of woman. Mon and Damien return to village but Damien to scared to even leave Inn. Mon tell Damien he look like beaten dog cowering in corner but Damien not care. Mon left Damien alone as I don't wish to lose Damien as friend. Maybe when Damien stop shaking he come out of Inn.

Mon go to sit and watch fishes in pond.

[Mon-Da-Oth]

I was so angry this day. Maybe the ale that I drank. I wonder if two whole kegs was to much. I think not. I could still hold sword straight.

Faust found me watching the fish despite the rain. I don't mind the rain much. Often I followed Shaman into woods for one reason or another and if it was not snowing it was raining. I didn't often know the reason Shaman went into the forest. He would travel down the mountain to the edge of a great field where he would tell me to wait while he crossed the field and entered the woods on the other side. I could feel eyes upon me the whole time. At first it was uncomfortable but I soon grew accustomed to it. Others often stare at cursed ones. At least no one would spit at me.

Rhiannon found us soon afterwards and Faust offered to pay for food in the Inn. We found table in inn that we all sat at and Mon told others about human carring Elf into hospital but Elf was tied up. No one knew what to think.

Damien found us sitting at table waiting for someone to take our order. Only seat availabe was next to Rhiannon. Damien wouldn't sit. So fearful of women is he. Maybe he just afraid of Elves too.

After Faust and I got tired of calling for our order Mon got up and got food himself. No one would take Mons coin but Mon took food and keg of ale. I was looking forward to pig but could only find bird and lamb. Still food and ale good anyways. Mon ate lots and drank lots of ale.

Yano arrived in inn and found us eating. He must have heard Mon belch. It was good ale.

We finished food and I grabbed second keg to take with us. No one wanted to drink out of keg. Thats ok it was good and none went to waste.

Mon told others how Damien fought giants. I don't know why Damien did what he did next but it shamed Mon and made me very angry. Perhaps he has decided he doesn't want the friendship of a Cursed one. Damien said that Mon lied and he did not fight giants. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to hurt Damien or the others so I left village and went to fields and killed many bugs. I killed every bug I could find until the field was slick with thier gore. It felt so good to release such anger.

Faust found Mon in field and soon others caught up with Mon except for Damien. Damien must have been in fear for his life. It was good that he stayed back. Mon might have killed him for the insult.

Faust explained that Damien was worried about Nathian and that why he was acting stange. Mon understood.

Yano went and got Damien and together we went to look for Nathian in strange house under tree that Yano, Damien and Mon found earlier. We searched to very bottom of cave under house under tree. Strange tree. Anyways only thing we found were witches, walking rat men, great square cubes whoes touch burned the flesh and a giant. Now others saw that Damien fought giant and Mon no lied.

Oh yeah we also found big creature with wings. Yano say that creature was Demon. Demon did not look anything like Elf to Mon. Must be evil form of elf worse than the black ones Mon fought earlier.

Shaman is right. If Demons like that then never trust those of Rian.

It was a long day today. To my surprise I found Yano and Rhiannon sitting near pond watching fishes. Damien soon showed but he stayed at a distance. He seemed afraid of Rhiannon.

I looked in my pack and found that I had forgotten about heart that I took from demon in the stump house. It was starting to smell so that must be why it seem Mon always smell bad no matter how many time I jump in pond.

Rhiannon say we take heart to Holy woman in temple. Yano, Rhiannon, Damien, and Mon go to see Holy woman. Mon never see such sight in life. Temple was so bright and clean. It had magic water in it that healed all cuts Mon had on face from scrapping with knife.

Holy woman say that her sister missing and we should look for daning peoples in woods. After some talk Mon remember seeing people singing and dancing in woods near where bandits hide. We return there and they attack us. After short fight we find amulet that belong to Holy womans sister but no sister. We return and give amulet back to Holy woman. She also take heart this time.

Near temple Yano see boat. We take boat to see island that Yano wanted to see. Nothing on island but more bandits and lots and lots of Spiders and a few ogers but no orcs. It was boring place.

We find spot where people burried dead man. His spirit was angry and we could hear it scream. This scared Damien and he started running around again. After killing more spiders we catch Damien.

After we get back Rhiannon offer to buy Mon drink. Mon not remember everything but Damien upset Rhiannon alot. We later found Damien in tavern covered in stale ale and food. Mon was going to put Damien in room but Rhiannon say Mon should take him to pond first.

While giving Damien bath Faust came by and said that we should hide becuase Varanites were coming to kill us all. Mon aske who Varanites are but no one would answer. Mon still not know these Varanites. At least Rhiannon explain black Elves to Mon. She say black Elves are known as Drow and are very evil. Mon will keep better eye on Black Elfs next time I see them.

After Damiens bath he got really angry. Mon don't know why all he did was choke on words again. Mon try to listen but he never finish sentences. He just run off again. Not Mons fault he can't keep his ale down and get sick on himself. Mon just try to help.

Anyways Mon joins Faust and Yano in tunnels under village looking for fat dwarf. There were many small lizard-man like dogs under there that Faust called Kobolds but they were no challenge for us. We all are good hunters.

We found dwarf later but he was dead. Not sure what Yano going to tell other dwarves about dead one but Mon got trophy head of Kobold to keep in sack. Mon hope it don't rot and stink.

Damien attacked me today. He took a flaming stick and beat me with it. He seems so happy. I was happy too as it showed that Damien was not a coward. It would take much courage to attack me. I did knock him down once as it seemed more like play to me. However someone strong with the spirits called up a great green hand and held tight to Damien stopping him from hitting Mon with flamming stick.

Then big black dragon showed up. Yano and Mon ran at sudden appearence of dragon. Rhiannon stayed though. Mon thought Rhiannon can not be braver then Mon. If woman say then Mon should too. When Mon return Damien was gone along with dragon. Yano come back short time later.

Rhiannon wanted to know why Damien hit Mon. She not seem to understand that Damien was playing. He could not really hurt Mon. Well fire burned a bit and stick left bruise but nothing worse than Mon would have gotten back with Clan.

Later we found Damien sleeping next to Gnome womans shop. It smelt like Damien drink alot again.

The woman, Mikela showed up too. Mon think she come because Damien was shooting at people with lazy bow.

While talking about what to do with Damien we see that the harps his kept in his favorite sack where damaged. Mon think they got wet when Mon give Damien bath other day. Mikela looked in Gnome womans shop for new harp but Gnome woman not have any. Mikela told Yano and Mon that they sell harps in city.

Mikela say that city is like big big village so we agree to look for harp in big big village.

Mon and Yano took Damien to inn. Yano use Damiens key and Mon put Damien in bed. Before we leave we leave message for Damien. Yano take take and carve harp into floor than take knife and make many sick men. Mon take axe and break chest to make may little huts next to stick men. Now Damien know we got to city to get harp.

It was long run to city. Along way Mikela tell us of "dark druids". These be bad shaman. Mon talk potion to walk around them. Yano and Mikela hid in bushes and trees to go around. Mon run alway to city this way.

City is big. Bigger than anything he could think of. Bigger than clan trading. Many people walk around, Many warriors too. Mikela take us to harp seller. Mon buy harp for Damien. Mon hope that Damien like harp. It was long run. Also buy small drum with rings. Mon not sure about buying drum but Yano think it good idea.

We then go to see Chief. Mikela say here chief is called Queen Nelina. Mon insist it only right to see Chief. It very rude not to visit chielf and pay respects. Yano not want to go. Yano seem scared of big place. Maybe becuase Yano small man. He stay behind Mon almost entire way.

Chief not there when we get there. Mon think Queen out hunting. Then Mon think that Queen not want to see Mon becuase of cursed blood. Mikela say that not problem. Mon don't understand. Cursed blood is cursed blood. Why no one seem to care. This very strange place.

We stop in inn before leaving. Yano run off hiding. He not like city. Mon drink much ale. Mikela buy Mon some ale too. Mon not have much coin after buying drum and harp. Mikela good woman. She make fine woman for someone someday. Maybe Damien although Mon think they might have rolled in field already. Good for Damien.l

After long run back we not find Damien. Yano and Mon go and find cave where enemy of dwarfs and village hiding. Yano and Mon good hunters. We kill many of the Varanite tribe that day. We even find place where they hold captives but they hear Mon when I step on trap and killed them all before Yano and Mon get to them. We go deep into cave. Yano and Mon got ambushed by many fierce Varanite warriors. Mon and Yano wake up in Inn with bad headaches.

We go find Damien now and give harp and small drum to him.

[Mon-Da-Oth]

I have not seen my friends in many days. So each day I sit and watch the fishes swim back and forth in the pond. On some occasions a bug will land or hover just above the surface and one of the fish will leap up out of the water and snatch it from the air. I have to wonder if there is such a thing as bravery among fish. A fish can not survive for long out of the water. They will gasp and flap around untill returned to the world it knows. Is it bravery that allows a single fish to jump out into what could be death to grab at that one insect who foolishly flew over the domain of the fish? Or is it instint, an urge to survive that guides the fishes actions? Does the fish know it is food that it takes from the air or does it just understand that what it seeks is food?

How much different am I from the fish? I left the life I knew back with my tribe. I knew my fate there. It would have been one of death once Shaman passed to serve Ki. I could have stayed with my tribe once my Shaman died with the knowledge that I too would have but a short life there. But I chose to leap out of the water and follow the falcon to this new life. This very different world where no one that I have met so far consideres the curse that I carry within my veins. This is a wonder to me. Is it like that for the fish that leaps from the wate to grab at an insect flying above its home? Or is in just a bit of food to satisfy the growling of an emply stomach.

I met a new friend awhile back. He is known as Lone and he is a priest like Nat was. Lone asked me many questions about myself and how it was that I came to be in the village. He suggested that Shaman was watching over me. I would think the Shaman had better duties with Ki than to watch over the wretched being that he rasied as a son. Many of the suggestions Lone made confused me. I do not often contiplate why it is that I am here. I am simple here because my actions caused me to be so. I followed the falcon here. I knew the falcon would lead me to safty and if the falcon should leave than so will I. If the falcon dies here then so will I. It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that. The spirits do not watch over a cursed one. Why doesn't anyone understand what being cursed means?

Yano was found a few days after meeting Lone. He suggested that we look for the missing Shaman the woman on the hill was seeking. We traveled until we came upon his tower. There in lay many of thing of spirit. Mon and Yano fought many little flying demons. It was not much of a challenge. If Mon and Yano can kill big demon that we can kill little demons. One demon called himself king. King of what I do not know as all was dead or of the spirit. There was nothing to rule there.

We then sought the shaman in the tunnels belong his tower. We did find him after fighting both little demons and bugbears but the shaman was dead. Further down in the tunnels we found and fought many of the Kobolds until will found and exit back into the lands around the village.

We did not recognize this place however. The Varanite tribe and burned several huts and had build some walls around a smaller village they sought to setup. Yano and I paid them a visit and said hello by leaving them all dead. Mon wonders why the don't get the message and leave the people of the village alone. The result is always the same when Yano and Mon find them. They die and we live but still they keep coming.

They must be like the orcs. Fine they want death Mon give them death!

[Mon-Da-Oth]

Mon sorry he not say thoughts so scribe could write them down. Mon was very tired after helping Yano kill King of Lizard peoples. The time we do it right and no one die. Well King of Lizard peoples die and many other lizard peoples die but not Yano or Mon which is what is important.

Mon also met man who say he would give Mon nice sword to use with my shield if I could give him gems and shiny stones for trade. Man say he not want coins because his rum likes the stones better. Now Mon has had some rum but has never heard of putting stones in it. Maybe Mon will try placing stones in his drink to see if they taste better.

Mon and Yano went to visit Varanites in cave again. Mon hope they have stones they don't need after Mon bash their heads and Yano cuts their hamstrings. Mon and Yano look everwhere for stones but no Varanite seem to have any. Maybe we not see them with all the blood.

Anyways, Mon looks forward to seeing friends again. Mon wonders where others are though. It been long time since Mon see some of the others. Maybe Varanites get them or maybe orcs get them. Mon kill them both untill he get answered.

The thoughts of Mon da Oth

[Mon-Da-Oth]

Mon been busy lately. Mon think he put stones into pond so that he can sit near center of pond not have to hold breath. Wonder if that bad for fishes. Mon will put one stone in at a time and see if fishes object. If fishes don't complain Mon will add more.

While back Yano want to go collect stones from Island. Mon need stones for new sword so Mon agree. It long ride on ocean in boat. Mon enjoyed it. It rained very hard and lighting flashed everywhere. Yano not like it much and crew looked worried. We get there ok though.

It strange island. Mostly sand. Very little grass and almost not water. Yano and Mon find strange insect like peoples. They not like us there and try to kill us. Mon used to peoples trying to kill him so it not bother me much. I kill them instead. You think they learn but no they keep trying to kill Mon.

Through out island there are places burried under sand. Some have dead things that not like Yano and Mon there. Mon not understand why dead peoples care if Yano and Mon there but it hard to argue with dead peoples.

Mon and Yano find a large stone but we had to fight statues to get it. Mon think statues had Elf magic on them because they looked like Elves and then they come to life and try to kill Mon and Yano. We take stone from them after fight. Why statue need stone Mon not know.

Later we find big demon. This demon stronger than one Ji-lyn pray to. Mon hit demon very hard but demon not get hurt. Mon knew this bad thing but Mon try anyways. Demon try to hit Mon back but not seem to be able to. Demon did hit Yano hard. Yano not get up after Demon hit him. Also Ora ran away when Demon hit her. Mon fought hard against demon smacked Mon hard in head and Mon woke up in Inn with bad headache. Yano must have carried Mon there bacause Yano was there too. How Yano carried Mon Mon not know but Yano strange small person.

Mon not get many stones from island buy Yano give stones to Mon. Later we see man in dark clothes. He say Mon have enough stones for sword and gave really nice sword to Mon. Mon need to practice with sword first though. It sharper than Mon's other weapons and Mon cut himself with it when Mon tried to swing it. Mon will practice more before he use it in battle.

Yano decide he want to travel north from village to look for thief. Of course Mon go with Yano. Yano good friend to Mon. Mon and Yano fight more Varanite tribe but nothing we not handle. Soon we enter forest and find Elf's. Yano say talk to Elfs but Mon not want to. Why Yano want cursed Mon to talk to Elfs Mon not know. Anyways Yano talk to Elfs. Elfs say they be happy with Mon if Yano and Mon go into cave and kill Varanite tribe in Cave.

That sound like fun to Mon so Yano and Mon go into cave and fight Varanite Tribe. Only problem we had was when Mon had to get naked and swim to land across river underground. Varanites attacked Mon before he had chance to get armour back on. Yano and Mon kill them but Mon hurt really bad. Then more Varanite show up and throw fire at Yano and Mon. Mon black out but Yano pull Mon to safe place and waited for Mon to heal. Then we go back and kill rest of Varanites.

Mon get head for new trophy and wanted to show head to Elfs to show we kill the Varanites. When Yano and Mon go back Elfs gone. Fire still there with tents but no Elfs. We look around for Elf's and find wolf peoples. They not want to talk but try to kill Mon and Yano so we kill them instead. Later we find tree spirit but she not want to tell us where Elfs are. So Yano and Mon look elsewhere.

Yano and Mon look for Elfs in mountains. Only small trails go though mountains and many demon type things fight us along the way. Even trolls fight us but troll no match for Yano and Mon. Shame Mon not get troll head but then head might grow new body and then Mon have to fight troll again to get head. No good idea. Trophy would get heavy with troll body attached to it.

Mon and Yano soon find great stone village at top of mountain. Guards say they call it Ravens watch. Mon not see any ravens. Strange name for stone village with no ravens. Yano not like stone village but it late so we stay night and return to village in morning.

After trip back to village Mon lose sight of Yano. Mon not worried. Yano know how to find Mon when Yano needs him.

Anyways, Mon sit and watch fishes again. They not seem to mind the one stone Mon throw in water so Mon added another one. Mon sit and watch fishes when he notice man standing behind him. Man way his name is Torquemada. Strange name but this strange village.

Torquemada say his is priest like Nat but he not know Nat. Mon wonder where Nat is. Mon wonder where all other friends are. Anyway Torquemada seem interested in talking to Mon so Mon talk back. Torquemada say he new to village and want Mon to show him around. Mon think he look for friend so Mon agree. Not bad to have new friend after all.

Mon ask Torq if he fight Varanites and tell Torq about cave Varanite tribe hide in. Torq say he not want to fight whole cave of Varanite. Mon not care. Mon know where they are and will fight them later. Mon then ask Torq if he fight with Ji-lyn. Torq say he not know of them. Mon find that odd as you can hear them chanting in forest. Any ways Mon take Torq to talk to woman in temple. Woman ask Torq if he finished fighting Ji-lyn. Torq say no. Mon thought this strange.

Mon then take Torq to place where Mon last see Ji-lyn singing in circle. Mon tell Torq to talk to Ji-lyn but to watch out because they get angry when you inturpt their singing. Just like Mon warned Torq about they get angry and Mon and Torq fight Ji-lyn. We then go back to temple and woman still asks Torq if he finished fighting.

Mon think woman want to know if Torq finished getting demon heart. Torq not know where other Ji-lyn are so Mon show him funny tree stump where Ji-lyn stand near. Torq call angry looking wolf to fight with us. Mon not worry as long as wolf not fight Mon.

Torq and Mon fight witches and demon peoples and go into basement of stump hut. Mon hear angry wolf talk to Torq. It say "You will die Torquemada". Mon not know what Torq do to anger wolf but Mon not hear wolf talk before. Mon keep distance from wolf in case wolf get angry at Mon.

Mon and Torq go into cave where many strange block shaped creatures attack. Mon fight these things before. They burn Mon skin when they touch and eat things by sliding over them. It look slow and painful so Mon try to avoid getting eaten. One of them talk to Mon. These things got no mouth but Mon swear it talk to him. It say "Mon you will die!" It wrong though. Torq and Mon kill it.

Later Yano find us. Mon happy to see Yano. Yano meet Torq and they not have problem with each other. That good. It long time since Yano and Mon have friend join them in hunting.

Mon and others continue to hunt demon. We find lizard person though and it too talk to us. It say that we all die. Mon and Yano hit it with weapons but we not hurt it. Yano calls Ora but she not hurt it. Torq shoot it with lazy bow but not hurt it. Mon put weapon away and use fist but it not get hurt. Mon think we in trouble now. Yano reach down and grab lizard persons foot and flip in on its back. Mon and Yano jump on lizard person and start beating it while Torq shoot it with lazy bow. Mon, Yano and Torq finally kill lizard person.

After fighting more Ji-lyn and some more lizard type peoples we go down into house of mage woman called Mika. Why she hang out with Ji-lyn Mon not know but she not friendly person. While down there demon person say that Mika will kill us. Yano and Mon get worried but we fight with Torq shooting lazy bow and healing us when we get hurt. That happen a lot with all the traps around.

When we get to Mika's room she there with floating armour peoples and witches. She say she will kill us all. She almost right. She hurt Yano and Torq real bad. So bad that Mon had to pull them out from battle. Mon hurt too but Mon wait around corner for floating armour peopes to come after them. When they come around corner Mon bash them into wall. After Yano and Torq feel better we go back and kill Mika. Then we go look for demon.

We fight hard with Ji-lyn but we kill demon and Torq get demon heart to take back to woman in temple. Torq say he tired from fighting and leave Yano and Mon.

Mon hurt arm in trap leaving tree stump. Yano say Lone can fix Mon's arm so Mon ask Lone to fix arm instead of woman on hill. Lone say he can and calls to his god to fix arm. Arm get better so we stay and talk with Lone and women near him.

Yano offer Mon funny leaves to put in mouth but Mon swallow it. Mon not know better. Yano say Mon should suck on leaves. Lone say Mon get sick. Lone right but Mon hide it. Mon spit sick stuff into helmet and hand back to Yano. Yano seem ok with leaves Mon give back.

Mon offered to show trophy heads but no one want to see heads. They starting to smell maybe that why no one want to see heads. Maybe Mon find way to dry heads out so they don't smell so bad.

Mon meet Elf woman talking with Lone. Woman very nice and say Mon not need to hide face from her. Mon still not understand these peoples. Mon show curse on face but it not seem to offend them. Strange peopels.

Mon and Yano later run off along road to city. We look for more stones for trade. Maybe Yano get something nice with stones. We get up to angry Dwarf named Hunars hut and we find bull peopels nearby. Yano and Mon fight bull people Mon know are called Minotaurs because Torquemada describe them to me. We fight many of these and then go up along road.

In one spot we find more lizard peopels. They have bad shamans that call lightning down on Mon and Yano. It hurt Mon really bad but Mon lives and they dont. Yano and Mon look all around and find big hole in ground. It get very hot in hole and Yano and Mon fight many lizard peoples. Soon heat to much for Yano and Mon and we pass out. Wake up later with headache in Inn.

Yano and Mon to tired to hunt so we go to bed.
