story= _ "Baldras journal, 10 Deeproot, 501 YW:
Been a strange few days. Had to leave Dallben real quick. Grabbed as much stuff as we could in just a day, some food, some clothes, siss lucky bracelet... made off for Delwyn as quick as these old bones let me. Be a three day journey there, but I sended Harper ahead for Relana first. Said wed meets her in the usual hiding spot in the swamp."

I dont be keen on fighting no war with Wesnoth, but dont really got no choice either. Harpers still too younger to be leading anyone, and dont seem like anyone else in the village be wanting the responsibility."
