Tekkud Stardusts Yearly Review 362
The year of 362 was a scary year to say the least. Where to start. The year was as peaceful as ever, the newest adults have been settling into their roles. Ofcourse Baron still seemed unable to work. It seems the fish that were once bountiful within our waters had slowly disappeared. Our ecology books suggest that overfishing is often such a cause but i don't recall us having done too much fishing which might suggest some kind of enviromental change. We decided to restrain from fishing for now, not that you can catch anything anyway. We hope that fish will migrate and return to our waters but time shall tell.
During summer, heavy footsteps were heard as Egul Bristleberry the Large Scribe, the ettin came to raid our village.
However his pounding footsteps made his approach obvious and our monk friends were waiting for him. Song the Monk hid in the bushes with the rest of her squad. As soon as the ettin approached Song punched the ettin in the foot causing it to sickenly twist as the sound of flesh ripping followed by a large thud was heard. Then what could only be described as an absolute beating occured. The ettin vomited onto itself as it striggled to break grip. Attached is the fight records as best as were described. The killing blow was given to Song Scarredhex as she pounded the beasts upper body into a fine paste.
A few months later it was time for some more birthdays, Cerol Giltfences was first. He showed interest in the products of our beekeeping endevors and has decided to take up wax working. A fine craft indeed that requires a skilled hand. Hopefully we can start to see his goods soon.
Next was Kogan Girderreigned, after a week of him struggling to think of a job. It was suggested he take up being a tavern keeper of our other tavern. The hope being it might allow him to work on his shyness. This will take time ofcourse but we are hopeful.
Then was Aban Colorwhips, he seemed to take interest with Avolitions forge and after making a carved note. The plump helmet man seemed to nod before stumpling and then limping towards the forge. Certainly he is getting up in the years, his once bright purple hue has become more sun bleached and crumbly. Aban has of late started wood burning, he is not sure why he need to learn this first but i guess its to get him used to the heat before he works on the forge.
Lastly was Datan Futuretours, he as a child had maded a giant tortoise shell gauntlet known as Blamefear the Erased Sewer but he seemed highly interested in mechanisms and gears often loaning certain books from the library to get inspired. He has started working on the mechanisms and various mechanical devices so its safe to assume we will have a new mechanic.
As the year draw to the close the familiar sounds of heavy footsteps were heard and once again a loud thud soon after. It was Elo Sportquest the Call of Bejeweling. Seemed the giant thought he could do what the Ettin earlier in the year couldn't.
But before he could engage our squad. He encountered the human guild representive and their two crossbow wielding body guards. The fight soon became identical to that of the ettin. Vabok Bronzeposts, one of the dwarves was attributed the final blow however due to the mess of the body some suggest it was Song and others suggesting another monk entirely. Needless to say the community is safe and secure. Attached below are the battle reports as best as i could transcribe.
