As told by Wayward_Druid_Respiren ‘One of our fellow elves, Apollen was slain by a bandit at our gates .’ This is how our story begins. A fellow elf by the name of Apollen stumbled into my grotto, lamenting his recent death at the hands of one Karnin_Korfi (thatguy). Divining his true name we approached Prince Flefal, for advice. After some discussion our beloved prince placed a 2700 minas bounty on this bandits head in order that justice may be served. And justice, it seemed was served quickly. :: Apollen however was still without his precious map, so I ventured to find this bandit to talk.:: After searching many days I found him with 3 others near east whisper…. laying a foundation not just with orcs and bandits, but the very one that claimed his bounty. I approached them, and they faced me with much hostility, denying that they we’re the culprits that killed my fellow elf Apollen. while the four watched with rapt attention. A fifth approached from behind via the lake. And drove his blade into the bandit, killing him, then making a quick escape. His fellows quickly turned on me, yelling ‘DRUID’ ‘now you DIE’. At which point outnumbered, I fled. pursued and out within an inch of my life. It was only with the deterrant of bow, and healing broths that I managed to escape to east whispering isle, with a shadow of a heart. and with night falling, to my grotto to make this report. :: -Wayward Druid Respiren :: with gratitude to Elvador_yoleri, for accompanying me in my frail state. And the moral? Do not interact with bandits, and place a higher acceptance fee on bounties.
