We went to the Laughing Bear in another town to get some rest. We sold some stuff, I bought a fancy chain shirt, and traded in my old greatsword for a really nice one too. We went to meet this politician Sir Avis, talked about someone named Corvus, how a war might be brewing, how we should go to Avid to stop an uprising, and… whatever. Skip this stuff. I wasn’t paying attention. All I remember is that we had to disguise as entertainers to get to Avid.

Along the way we found this town called New Fort. They had an ettin problem: this two-headed ogre thing stole their cows and vandalized a church. Rather than dealing with the problem in the best possible way (drive my sword directly into his chest and pull out his heart), the bald guy wanted to talk it out. So did the elf and gnome. Only Elian wanted to kill him too. We were outnumbered, so we tried to talk. With an ettin. What’s next? Barter with dire bears? Have lunch with a demon?

Kill count: not a single thing.
