Well! Only a few weeks in Kantas and I’ve already proved mother wrong. Not that she’ll know, of course, unless I write to her. Perhaps another day.
I had worried a little about finding work here, but the adventure I just had lived up to all the dreams I had as a child. I slew a stone giant! It’s true I didn’t strike the final blow, but with every bolt of eldritch power it was weakened. I still can hardly believe it.
I answered an advertisement to defend a small town in K'ul Goran. There’s a war there, between the giants and elementals. It was incredible- genasi, minotaurs, and so windy! You could hardly hear your own thoughts sometimes for the wind. I’d never seen anything like it. I never want to forget it.
Already this is so much better than home.
The village we were defending was a little out of the way. Nobody was sure we’d actually see any trouble at all, but we prepared just in case. I still remember how easily my home was destroyed by the carelessness of adventurers. I wasn’t going to let that happen to this village, not if I could help it (and of course I could! We did it!!)
We spent a while building traps. With my background, I volunteered to craft a net. Unfortunately, my weaver’s tools are built for gnomes to use. They simply aren’t big enough to craft a net for a giant. Still, it was a beautiful net, and I stand by that. My tools limited me, not my skill, and I’ll prove it by making the best nets on the continent, you see if I don’t.
After we’d crafted traps- a lure of food, a pit, a rope trap- one of the party spotted innocent villagers fleeing towards us, from a different village. We thought at first it was giants chasing them, but it turned out to be only ogres. (Only ogres! How my life has changed!)
We defeated them, of course, all of us were incredibly skilled, although Vark did insist on negotiating with and then freeing the last one. I only hope she doesn’t cause any further trouble.
It seemed like that was the only fight we were going to get, but after all that a stone giant - an actual stone giant- started heading towards the village! All our traps, which hadn’t been used on the ogres, were vital in helping us to slow and attack the giant. The bards did an amazing job sending him running back and forth, and everybody was so incredibly skilled- and I was among them! Me! Camwyna!!
We defeated the giant and saved the village, and I have never been so glad that I decided not to stay at home. Take that, mother- I am far more capable than you ever thought.
