====== Diary ======
===== April 26th, 2010 =====
__XP:__ 4.000 \\
__Gold:__ 650 \\
As we came to the shores of the coast we found that the local king Harris had terrorisesed the local people. I paied him for one month of peace and in that month we plan to move the villagers across the mountains to the North. We planned to take the villagers to the forrest to the East, and take them along the edge of the forrest to the mountain range, and then to the West towards the mountain-pass.
We were attacked by three trolls when we reached the forrest. They attacked us from the forrest, and we suspect that Harris might have been paying them as they had some serious amounts of gold on them.
===== May 3rd, 2010 =====
__XP:__ 5.000 \\
__Extra XP:__ 5.000 --- Divided like this: 2.000 to Golaj, 3.000 to Stefan. \\
__Loot:__ Two arrow tips that seemed to be magical. \\
We continued to travel along the forrest edge towards the mountains. We where attacked by an undead wurm, and Harris came by and tried to kill off our remaining villagers. We twarded all the attacks, but lost quite a lot of villagers, and where quite exhausted ourselves.
As the group traveled towards the mountains we came across a small outpost of some kind within the woods. There we found a couple of arrow tips. And a small cottage that seemed to be uninhabited.
