Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Lord Captins

A ten day we set out north to inves invistigayt the ship wich were spotted sayling threw the waters near the city.

We were a patrole of ten strong men all abel warriors. I was the patrole scout. We reached at the Troll Fords when we spotted their longboat full of people approaching the shores. They were all womin, butiful and strong, with gray skin, white hair and blue eyes. They had pointed ears much like an elf but they aint drow, I know what a drow looks like and these womin be much too large and not black enough.

I took to the bushes and trees to spy upon ther doings. I am no stranger at this my lords, but thees devilish women with their wikkid eyes spotted me rite away and took me captive to use me as a sheeld agaynst the rest of the patrole. It were a tense situ situwatin with them womin holding a knife to my throat. They aint understand a lick of common and we aint understand a thing they said but it were clear that they meant to kill me and try to kill the others if they moved any neerer.

Travellers arrived and nagonegosiated a truce and got the womin to stand down and wait. It seems that one of them understood the language of the halflins and were able to talk that way. The grey womins are after a treasure they claim is theirs, stolen from their lands and brought heer. The sergeant wernt about to let a bunch of barbarians ride threw the lands how ever. They said that they had hundreds more on their ship, which I find priposturus.

The travellers managed to get the womin drunk on Calyshin wine and there were much merriment among them. They are a wild lot my captins, and I am shamed to admit that they left many of the patrole men with want and desire. Enuff that some volunteered to take the travellers places as captives.

I was releeved of duty a few days later as ree-enforsement came to bolster our rank and to keep watch on these wicked wimins. Our people numbered twenty, enough to match theres. The womins had a few more than twenty but I aint count that hie. But our men had armor and the grey womins just had hides.

I was given to rest and recoveree and sent out again to the north to releeve the patrole men there. When we arrived we found the camp empty with no trace of the womins or our men. Ther longboats were gone as well and in the distants on the waters we saw the ship set to watch theirs under attack by their large vessel. I fear something happened to anger the womins. Perhaps they got impaytent with waiting for what they were looking for to be brought to them. I did not find any bodies so I don't think they slew our men.

The sergeant gave the order to retreat back to the city, and so we did befor the trolls could catch wind of us.

- Gray skin, white hair, elfin ears, blue eyes. Tall, strong for a womin. Strong for a man too. All are deadly with a bow and carry wickid looking speers. I seen them fell a hare running as fast as it can. They slew trolls too with no difficulty. Lady Bleth says they are Shadow Amazons from Dambrath. She showed me a map. Dambrath is a long ways from here by sea.
- I think one of them is a priestess of some sort. She wears all white and silver with red lining. She don't speak to the others much but when she do they all listen. She did conjure a wall of blades when one of the travellers tried to speak wif me from hiding.
- At least twenty of em, mayhaps many more on their ship. I doubt there are hundreds of them, but it is a large ship.
- Ship is large, at least twice the size of any galleon we haff.
- They got horses too, sleek gray mares. My pop were a rancher, sirs, and these were some fine horses.
- They are a wild and violent folk, quick to take insult and captives. I guess that is their way of talking.
