Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night

The coast is far bleaker than I last remembered it, they really weren't kidding about the undead here. Ending up in the middle of a battlefield was the last thing I expected when I first arrived to the Friendly Arm Inn. My arms still sore in memory of dragging Roland back to the temple, how people can go all day dressed in such heavy metal is beyond me. But I really shouldn't complain, I probably would've ended up dead without them being about. One thing about the coast hasn't changed though is the odd sorts of people you meet here.
I can't stop myself from smiling after last night. As lost as I was when I first left home she was. Seemed she had just tried to scam a group of adventurers of coin being that desperate for food, only she was less successful than I was when I started up. I only just caught her running off crying, heavens knows how she would've ended up if I wasn't there to listen to her. Having someone listen can be so heart warming, I showed her Selune's light, her warmth in friendship and compassion in acceptance. She not only felt her light, but she embraced it. Like myself she seems ready to start anew in her light. I hope it sticks though, I couldn't help but feel she was holding something back from her, but by the end of our talk her tears had been replaced by smiles, and conviction. I gave her a small pouch of coin to get her by, though even that small amount is a lot for me. Tonight I will be praying for her that she finds her way. I myself still feel somewhat lost in my own, though after one night one thing has become clear. All these years I've been caring but for myself, wherever I end up, I want to be helping others.
First things first though, I need to find some work. My coin pouch is feeling empty.
