It has been two days since our encounter with the trolls, and nothing further of note has happened. The rain that was threatening a few days ago never materialized. In fact, the weather has turned sharply the other way. We are now in the midst of what would appear to be an unseasonably warm spell – certainly there is not a cloud to be seen, with temperature and humidity levels rarely seen much further south in Greyhawk.

The heat and lack of activity have caused the Company to become bored and irritable. The more seasoned veterans find relief in endless rounds of card playing and untamed gossip – much of which these days seems to be centered on my relationship with Shasivin. The younger ones have instead turned to practical jokes. Mostly the humor is in good fun, and helps everyone relieve some of the stress of riding across this endless wasteland with the ever-present feeling of danger lurking over the next rise.

But an incident that occurred earlier today that went beyond humor. An intentionally damaged buckle caused Orvin to tumble from his horse. The only damage Orvin suffered was to his pride, but the ensuing fistfight and wrestling match between him and Tovish (who apparently caused the buckle damage) left both men injured. Firena had to be called in to heal a nasty gash above Orvin’s eyebrow, and both suffered numerous scrapes, bruises, and minor cuts. Master Sergeant Drathon has assigned both Tovish and Orvin to extra guard duty, while Tovish also picked up a week of horse-mucking detail as punishment.
