Day Four: Survival
Taken from the personal logs of Gunther Wallace:
After three days of research failed to yield any meaningful knowledge about the brands or our games mysterious host, I have decided to take a more proactive approach to the situation.Â
The network has been watchful while I've been shut into the archives. Reports have come in of two roegadynes wielding axes, tearing one another apart in the Quicksand. Another report has indicated a mage and a woman wearing armor and using a strange blade entered a lethal altercation with a roegadyne wielding an axe, and a woman using a bow. Witness reports lead to the conclusion that this roegadyne was the same one who emerged as the victor from the Quicksand. All but the knight were KIA.
Assuming that these people are similarly branded, it's fair to say that the hunt has long since begun.Â
With reports of teams flowing in, I felt it wise to find my own teammate. The mark was quite helpful in this endeavor. Led me straight to him.Â
The one I was led to was the archer thief from the meeting. Sanzoku. I had my doubts walking into the meeting, but after a few tales of the past were shared, common ground was found. Never have I felt so fortunate to be a reformed criminal.
He agreed to join me in defense against these fools who truly believe that some magic toy is going to 'grant their wishes'. Give me a break.
This fiction that our greatest desires can be granted is no more true than the tale of Z'alladin and his Cave of Wonders, or the stories of the Sky City of Shevat.Â
But others seem to believe it, and they are leaving a trail of bodies in their search for this false hope. This is what cemented the alliance between Sanzoku and I. We have no interest in wishes or false promises, but if any attack us, we will defend ourselves. If they attempt to hunt us, we will retaliate. Sanzoku and I seem to share the sentiment, that things would be best if life got back to normal. United, we will defend ourselves and outlast this madness.Â
Survival afterall, is what men like us are best at.
