Journal of Bael'thas

Well that didn't go quite as planned.

By the grace of Ehlonna, I had been given a vision in which I met a group of holy warriors, engaged in a great battle against the forces of evil.  Mostly followers of Pelor, two were dwarves who were apparently complete opposite: one wearing a mountain of plate armor, and the other wearing rags.  Another of the group was curiously not made of flesh.  What evil they are fighting was not clear.

I was traveling with a caravan bound for the town that I had seen in the vision, but we did not make it.  Without warning, people were taken, wrapped in webs, and dragged a short distance before disappearing entirely.  The attackers were never visible, and there was mass confusion.  I managed to hide and escape capture, and after the attack stopped, I emerged to try and piece together what had happened.  Nobody was left alive, and there were no tracks of any attackers to follow.

I spent the next day looking for clues around the caravan, anything that might lead me to the attackers.  Eventually, I heard the sounds of battle over a dune and quickly moved to investigate.  What I found appeared to be the group I had been sent to join, engaged in battle with a demonic spider-like being the likes of which I had never seen.

I immediately joined in, intending to put a few arrows in the demon.  However, between the excitement of unexpected battle combined with meeting the ones from my vision, not a single shot landed on target.  Immediately after this, I sensed something sneaking up on me, and whirled around.

What happened next makes little sense to me.  I suddenly found myself struck by the flying sword of the metal being, and then was set upon by another demon-spider who had not been visible.  The next bit of the battle was a blur, but I seem to recall the others fighting the other demon as its poison sent me unconscious.

After the battle, they revived me, but now my task seems to be to convince them I'm not in league with these demons.  I suppose that's understandable, given that I didn't actually manage to hit anything in the fight.  Although They might have noticed I was nearly killed by one of them.

One would hope that fact will work to my advantage.
