RUNTOWIN'S ADVENTURE
Welcome to my page dedicated to my new halfling fighter Runtowin. This page will describe the travels of Runtowin as he travels through the sword coast in search for the very thing all halflings crave, respect and admiration among the general populace. On his travels he will come in contact with some of the natives of BG such as Imoen and Cooran as well as some of my other characters such as Petal and Samolion. So please relax and read on and discover if Runtowin gains the respect he so sorely desires.
My adventure begun in the hallow halls of Candlekeep with my foster father Gorion sending me to ready myself for an adventure of the utmost importance. I acquired some leather armor, helmet and a new war hammer from Winthrop before leaving in search of Gorion. In my search I came across an assassin who in his confusion seemed to think I was his target. Fortunately his attempt at killing me was as poor as his intellect and I killed him easily. But this attempt at my life makes me wonder whether my welfare is behind this seemingly hasty trip and perhaps Gorion's as well.
I finally found Gorion after a brief encounter with the young female thief Imoen who told me that she had been snooping in Gorion's papers and found out this trip is of the utmost importance. Upon reaching Gorion we immediately left the keep and made good time to an secluded spot just east of Candlekeep, but at this spot something was to happen that would change my life dramatically. We were ambushed by a large armored man accompanied by 2 ogres and a mage. Gorion immediately sensed the danger and sent me away to hide. The battle that ensued showed Gorion was no easy target as he dispatched of the entourage with ease, before turning his attention to the imposing warrior. My worst fears were brought to life as Gorion was slain by the man in an almost arrogant manor, leaving me alone and unprotected for the first time in my life.
After Gorion's demise I ran aimlessly until morning. At this time I met Imoen who had tracked me all night. She mourned with me as we made our way back to the gruesome site. Once we arrived we found an mysterious scroll that seemed to indicate I am part of some great plot or destiny, This knowledge helps little as I soon come to the realization that I am the sole reason the only person I ever cared about died. We looted the bodies for anything useful and made our way to the friendly arm inn, in search of two of Gorion's old friends to see if they can be of any use to me finding my revenge.
On the way to the friendly arm inn we were besieged by a few gibberling, wolf and the odd ogre. We dealt with these problems easily and made our way into the forest without problem. Along the way we happened across a mage and his companion. We agreed to accompany them if they first went to the inn with us. They agreed and we were on our way. Upon arriving at the Inn we were attacked by an mage assassin who seemed hell bent on ensuring our deaths. With the help of the guard we were able to defeat him but not before losing the mages friend Montron in the battle. The mage Xzar seemed unperturbed at his death and didn't seem to mind as I looted his body for his armor and weapons. On examining the bodies I learnt that the price on our head was quite significant and wondered what I had done to warrant such attention. Hopefully Gorion's companions can inform us?
