Scribe Notes

The party has been assembled to aid Master Gosfred of the Seagate Alchemist Guild to look for the items detailed above. In recognition of my past contribution to “The Seagate Times” (recounting the time I was nominated for the Star of Alusia), I was made Party Scribe. Below is a rendition of the party’s exploits. Further details are supplied separately, (script in italics).

The group that assembled on the first day of April 1996 AP is a mixed bag of races and abilities.

Stein
a dwarf Earth Mage/Fighter was made Party Leader.
Tixellanif
as well as scribe, I was also assigned Military Scientist in deference to my recent training in that subject. I started life as a poor E&E, after my first two adventures, I learnt a lot. I am still a poor E&E, but well trained in fighting, military scientist, and healer.
Dillon
a fellow human and Mind Mage.
Dimagi and Galland
two Elves. The former is an Air Mage who’s main ambition is to add the title “Skree Slayer” to his name. The latter is an Illusionist.
Michael
a Halfling that think’s he’s a gnome, the fact that he’s a Mind Mage makes it perfectly clear.

Lastly we have another dwarf,

Cameron McTavish
an Ice Mage, and as befits his race, a fighter too. He has a strange accent, one which I havn’t heard in my studies of the Dwarven tongue.
