~Dated 24th August, the page has the occasional splash of a blood droplet, clearly falling a distance to land on the page
An odd thing happened today, I recovered considerably from whatever illness has effected me, and cause me to... return previously eaten food rather swiftly. Although I think this is mainly down to the lack of eating. Anyway I write now after the events of today where my freind, Joy Roseberry was held hostage by a greedy little man wearing black clothing.
I arrived at the prancing pony in my usual fashion, through the kitchens. When I saw, this man he was holding Joy, with a blade at her neck. Well I would do the same as any good man in that case, I moved to stop the man, let it be known that Isilorbor, Stighelm, Drandr and if I recall Bearn 'Wolf-bane' was also around, but I do not think I saw him do anything.
Anyway, as I previously wrote I snuck up on the man and tackled him and Joy to the ground, my nose however connected with the man's elbow and is now broken. I shall have to ask Eowin to break it back into place for me, truth be told I do not trust half of the other healers in this town. Again I notice I have gone off topic so I will resume my account of the incedent, the man was tackled to the ground but somehow he managed to get away from under me taking Joy with him. It was then Isilorbor tried to reason with the man offering him the money he desired, but as they talked Joy managed to slip out of the man's grasp, he was promptly surrounded by myself, Isilorbor and Stighelm. He then lashed out at Isilorbor piercing his dagger into Isilorbor's shoulder and tried to make his escape.
Not doubt in the future we will here how Captain Isilorbor heroically stood, and single-handedly defeated the man and rescuing Joy, let it be known before that account is made that did not happen.
Isilorbor injured and whimpering like a mutt could not persue the man, so Stighelm and then I gave chase of this man so foolish to even attempt to harm one of Bree's most loved... ladies. So Stighelm and I gave chase of this man, but Stighelm fell and was left behind, but I kept up, blood streaming down my face I was fair coated in the stuff by the time I cought the man. When I did, he threatened me with a dagger coated in an "Incurable" poison, the very notion is in fact laughable. So there we were standing in the middle of the Greenway, I am somewhat surprised at the lack of people travelling that road that day. I however was in no fit state to fight at that point, winded and bleeding profusly and the thought of dealing with a poison, incurable or not was not a welcome one.
All I could do was make a final threat, which went along the lines of:
"If I see you try this again, you will need an army to stop me killing you kid."
With that I walked away.
I must end my account here for two reasons, first it is not of much importance and second I am, feeling lightheaded.
