The Big Feast

Today a lot happened.

I was at the big feast that the whole town had been preparing for for a long time. I went there with Velicia. There were lots of food. There were three tables filled with the best from each of the inns. I liked the Rusty Dragon best, even though it was quite spicy. Loads of butterflies were released, flying around everywhere. I was eating when mayor Kendra Deverin stood up and talked about something. Then the sheriff Belor Hemlock said boring stuff and Cyrdak Drokkus talked about his new play. He's nice. He has been flirting with a lot of us girls. I like him as he enjoy the company but don't try to grope me as some others do. It's almost suspicious how he don't. I will try to make sure I get invited to see that play. Then Father Abstalar Zantus was just about to speak even more, when Velicia had had enough of food and wanted to go look at the bonfire, or rather the pile that would become the big fire. I grabbed some more salmon and followed her. The salmon was really good. I wonder how it's done. I've never been a good cook. Velicia said something was stirring somewhere towards the gate and we were just going that way when lots and lots of goblins poured in towards the central square where the feast was held and we were.

Goblin attack!

There was one big goblin riding a strange dog and a few others singing a silly song. Velicia rushed ahead and threw some of her magic, powerful great magic, at them and several fell to the ground. I loaded my sling with several stones and hit many with my barrage of stones, blinding one temporary. I ran up to a goblin and made a move I've often used when in trouble. I showed plenty of thigh to distract and stabbed with the dagger. Even if it worked I was a little put off as the goblin rather looked hungry when looking at my thigh. Not the usual response.

There followed a big melee where I felled goblin after goblin saving many of the villagers. Some of the people living here also fought with us. There was Nathaniel Deverin who I have met before. He is a nobleman from one of the four noble families here, but after today I think he's nice anyway. Actually it's the same family as the Mayor. Also there was a strange looking rhenne with pale skin, white hair and red eyes called Dorothea Caiphon who used scary magic and a female satyr called Honeypot who helped us fighting the goblins while playing the flute. We killed most of the goblins but a few fled.
