Aurelia: Day 172ish?

Hercules says this is a good idea, but I keep forgetting to write in this damned thing! I have missed many days worth of writing! Not only that but I have quickly lost track of which day it is exactly. We have long since left the small fishing village where I joined the group. We sailed to Stonekeep. I finally acquired for myself a magic weapon. From there we sailed to Ismere where they acquired their horses and I acquired one of my own. They are glorious beasts, but I am quite uncomfortable atop one. Alas, since I cannot travel as fast on foot as these beasts, I must ride. Lucrezia is having no problems keeping pace.

On the road from Ismere to Umea, we met a tricky little saboteur. The gnome snuck into the camp and set off the bandoliere of Alchemist's Fire that Fflam had upon his person. While everyone stared at the fire, I called the alarm on the gnome and started to persue. The bastard (forgive my language Diana!) was an illusionist and gave us quite the fight. A few people were blinded. Jacob mistook Fflam for the gnome. Grungar started attacking Jacob. Once we had the gnome tied up and Grungar under a rock (literally!) we patiently waited for the time we could let Grungar out and he wouldn't try to kill Jacob.

Once we reached Umea, we went to the Senechal to ask about going to the Grove. We were told that they must give us a pass, but they would not do so at night. While we cooled our heels at the Inn, I was the only one to hear the knocking. It was the Town Guard. We were promptly arrested because of the gnome, whom by the way, we had turned over to the Senechal! That crafty little bastard! Again, Diana, forgive my language!

Thanks to the help of Miranda, I believe her name to be, we were released the following morning.
