The story:
Whilst searching for interesting and adventurous stories for my newest
creation, I wandered through cities by the lake and checked out their
worst inns and booze holes to find adventurers, pirates and other shady
characters. I hoped to get stories about strange lands, heroic deeds,
or even dark and supernatural encounters with all of those creatures,
that no one speaks kindly about. One day I entered a tavern called the
copper chalice and was invited to join a friendly gentleman and his two
friends for some wine. They told me interesting stories about life as
an outlaw and their Thieving Guild. Several jugs of good wine were
emptied and I eagerly and agitatedly jotted their recounts
down… Oh, well, I guess I should have known, being the
well-to-do scribe that I am, that I should have stayed far away from
such surroundings and people. I woke up in a dark, cold cave and needed
a few minutes before I realised what had happened. The bandits
took me out, taking all my possessions and then they threw me
down this dark hole.
Who knows what gruesome creatures may roam down here? Will I ever get
back to the world above? I must find a way out…
