From the Diary of Rudolpho Milano

Dear Diary,

Sometimes it’s just not your day.

As we continued up the road, Nesta and Ortho mentioned that it looked like lightening storms were headed our way. I thought that they had both lost their minds but hey, Nesta IS a ranger and Ortho IS the elemental expert so maybe they knew something that I didn’t.

Once again, we were assaulted by gargoyles. This time however, a big, mean gargoyle got the drop on me and I was knocked off the side of the cliff to wait out the battle treading water below.

It sounded like I missed out on some good fun. I heard the usual sounds of swords and shields but at one point I saw the bright flash of light on cliff trail and heard Daria yell, “Whoo-Hooo!” Daria was later pushed off of the cliff herself.

After I had completely missed the battle, some crazy bird-horse thing came flying down from the cliff coming right at me. As I prepared to kill it, I heard Ortho yelling at me to grab its legs. That thing managed to carry me back to the mountain trail – then Daria.

Once again, the losers had no loot - but I did hear that, back with the second team, Z found a kobold.

As if things weren’t freaking bad enough, that evening I had to lay out all of my wet gear and clothing to dry. Vin loaned me a cloak to keep me warm as I slept up in a tree. Wouldn’t you know it – my tree got struck by lightening as I slept. That was a rude awakening and it hurt like hell! I guess Nesta and Ortho were right about those lightening storms.

Like I said – sometimes it’s just not your day.
