Journey's Of Dram Tingletoe

[*Shade Thon-Thalas]

The city seemed odd. Very interesting, but definitely odd. I had been a whole day in this city (or at least it felt like a day) and seen very interesting things... There was this BIG bazaar and in middle of the bazaar there was a bar! Think about that a BAR!. Well there is bars and taverns in other places too, like trolls foot in haven or Inn of the last home in solace. But this bar was particulary interesting since there was no roof! and thats not all!
( hehe I knew you would be interested to hear) The bartender is on FIRE! *gestures dramaticly*
Well yes! I have seen burning people before. Like in Tarsis where people were burning to death when red dragonarmy attacked and scorched the whole city.
But unlike in Tarsis. This man is not screamin and yelling in agony.
He sell quite good ale. especially I like the one they call baatorian ale. It has a nice kick on it...

And the portals! Can you believe it? There are portals to EVERYWHERE!
It a heaven to those who are in wanderlust. I actually had to pinch myself numerous times before I believed that I wasnt dreaming! Next thought was of course the fact that I believed I had died when Dalamar the dark tossed me through the mirror. Actually then I was SURE that I died when this winged thing walked pass me. Luckily I was wrong then too. (I hope my mother rests in peace,where ever she is... at least she is not here, except that she may be still alive)

Have you seen cows? Well I have. My friend Tethius Grann (who tried to slice me into two with his scythe,cause of this missunderstanding about some carrots and donkey)
Told me that I should be left under one. Well I met this cow at the bazaar bar. Her name was Mir,and she had a friend,whichnameIcantremember. I hope tethius ment something like Mir whose under I should be left. There might be comfortable. I am quite sure that Those were the cows. Cause I havent seen one, I asked around whats a cow looklike. And everybody said that They are like minotaurs,with horns,fourlegs and tail... and they say MOOO! Well These things walked with two legs,but two out of three is close enough, so they HAVE to bee cows. And I think one of them said to me moo! well they said lots of other things too, but I remember particulary well that they said moo.

Hmm that one night I met an elf. He was pitch black and had red eyes, but he was SO nice. actually promised me a weapons and all (since I had lost my own hoopak).
I had to sell myself to slave to get the gold, but it was definitely worth that. Being a slave isn't hard here... Almost no whipping and no food, which in krynn was the downsides of being a slave. I am very happy about my new work.

Today I met a elf. he said he was a woodman and seemed to like kender very much.
I approached him happily and greeted him with normal hello but he yelled me "say again!" (or was it stay away?), he even offered his weapon to me, but I think his rapier is too long to handle, so I had to decline his kind offer.
I cannot recall his name, but I am quite sure he was woodsman. Which seemed odd since he was carrying some strange scrolls, which seemed of arcane made.
I have heard that reading scrolls is dangerous, so I didnt check it further. He was quite pleased to see that I was holding it for him.
I think Sigil is quite nice place. Only ones who has been awful to me is that Vara jorina and some black elves whom names I dont know.
Though I have seen most of the city, there is still few things which I would like to see.
first is the cage thing, WHich I havent been able to locate, these cager's wont tell me the location of cage. I have been asking around and understood that they are keeping some evil and wicked birds there? maybe crows or seagals? Who knows? I am very anxious to see it. I'll find it evetually. I have a map!

It was quite usual day, I was searching the table unders in the great bazaar bar when I bumped into interesting pair of trousers. Others belonged to a very rude fella who claimed me as thief when I most kindly recovered his purse which had issues with my dagger and lost! I was the sole witness of the duel the purse and my knife duelled. Battle was glorious but purse lost its life when my knife cutted the throat of the wicked pouch!

After that the rude man propably understood the rudeness of his actions,since he most nicely asked me to run as fast as I could. And so I did, I ran at least ten times around the bar desk before the cow girl asked what I was doing. As I halted to answer, the this nice man (same man who was rude before) decided to give me a hug so hard I could barely take a breath. I DO like when people hug me, but next time I decided to decline the honor. There was also this orc, who wanted to hug me, but the blackbloods stink so much that I had to decline his hugging frenzy too.

After that there was this moment where my heart pounded like this:
-^-^-^-^----^-^-^-^
So basicly for a moment I was bored to death...

Luckily for my salvation, the nice man decided to go for a planewalk and since they declined to go with me, probably for modesty issues,since its kind of awkward to go with a hero like me. Saviour of the palanthas and killer of the dire rat called Herminius. I sneaked before them to the odd place where they killed some orcs. That was fun! I enjoyed the show for a bit and ventured back to city.

Ah another day in the cage! Yesterday I learned that the city is called as cage. No wonder I didnt manage to find it. But atleast I had good time to make some maps around the areas. I also played some dice with the bodyguard orc called kensit.
He was awfully lucky and managed to win the game. I lost an harper amulet.

I have managed to gather some people to aid me in this merchants guild.
The main Item gatherer is Delad the dark elf. Very powerful and very useful fellow.
I also happen to know the hin called Sammy, which has become a right hand to me.
Another fellow which wanted to join my ranks was A artist Shadowstrike. I havent seen him for awhile,but then again right now I dont have a need for his talents.
Then there is also this gnome friend of mine,who talks like a kender! I really like him.
what was his name... umm Gwyndall Bobunsillie.... Yes that it was!
There has been some orders an stuff, but I haven been able yet to locate those items.
But eventually some of us will find them. *nods*

I should start buying items...
I will start it soon.

Little hole was digged in the corner of quiet street of city sigil. Small sized humanoid lied there in the mudhole. Two figures were standing beside the hole. Two with dark clothes and even darker minds. Both watched as the small figure lied cold,motionless and dead.
"excellent" came the quiet whisper...
Other one standed there watching and listening as the other one stepped forward and reached for a shovel. "here take this shovel and fill up the hole, we are almost finished with him"
Silently the other man smirked behind his skullmask and grabbed the shovel.
Then there was just a sound of shoveling...



As the sentence was given and punishment put in order. That was the day when innosence died. He who was Dram Tingletoe died there, punished by the laws of Sigil.
He left the prison in slow steps. His hands were withered and wrecked. After that they were healed,but the scars in his mind didnt heal with the spell. They were still withered. His eyes were warm and kind,but as he paced towards bazaar, there was absolutely no warm in his gaze,no mercy and no kindness. His soul was battered, battered by red coat,who attacked him without reason. He yelled help and was helped by a mage who stopped the red coat from attacking. After awhile the fight broke off and the red coats were bested and lied dead in the ground. They didnt stand a chance against powers who they dared to challenge. But alas they were still red coats. Hardheads surrounded them and Dram was able to hide from their gaze.
Unfortunately his hiding place was revealed as he spoke some words. after that he was seized and put in charges and convicted without a fair trial.
Torturing was slow and took its time, didnt kill him physically but killed him mentally. Killed all the good there was to find. Only a compassion was left into his heart. Compassion for death and suffering of those who were arrested by hardheads, convicted by guvners and tortured and killed by mercykillers.

Law and enforcement beware. Time of terror is at hand.

Little knife appeared to his hand when he followed the patrol in the shadows... waiting for a opportunity. They will pay... with their blood...

Darkness and sorrow clouded his mind as he stepped from the shadows. Quietly like a plague,he struck the unknowing guard lifeless. The figure beside him, aided him as they lifted the victim to hang from the wall like a criminal. And criminals they were, thats how they explained the deed to themselves. Nothing more than mere criminals,who deserve no mercy. Disgracing the armor they carried,which should have been the symbol of truth and trust. Like a knights of solamnia oathed that "honor is my life" or nerakas knights has their own "Independence breeds chaos. Submit and be strong." Both of those included those two. Truth and trust. Thruth so that only those who deserve, be judged and trust that one can trust their fair intentions and fair treatment. Harmoniums fail in both. in truth and trust. Thus it has to mean that their system is rotten inside. Its like a appletree which is dying cause there are rotten fruits,which are rottening the whole tree. With a precise strikes, we shall cut down the rotten fruits and force them to follow the same laws and orders that others too have to follow.

Before the night ended, there were five criminals hanging from the wall. Two figure's blended into shadows as Harmoniums started to surround and arresting people. Like always, they take people to their jails, interrogate them and torture them,thinking they have the right to do so. How foolish to think so. They will learn better!

The mouth which had used to keep smile on it, keeped on tight firm line as he watched people... Good people be taken away to cells to be interrogated. We will avenge this.

And so he blended into the shadows...

[*Shade Thon-Thalas]

cloud from his mind has cleared, the pain that blurred his mind was no more. For first time long time, he felt free... Or at least so free that a slave can feel themselves. There was no collar in his neck,but nonetheless there it was... Lying on his skin,unseen,undetected. Cold iron which kept his mind at bay... Kept his kindness and compassion underneath.
The black figure had given him the things he needed,but not without a price. He had never seen elves like that. Elves with ebony black skin and white hairs. The innocent kender was an easy prey to the drow. He had offered interesting jobs and duties to Dram and so the young kender had swallowed the hook and the bait a whole.
There was some moments of clarity, but they were decreasing rapidly. Not once had he found his blades covered with blood before, but now they were getting Stained with blood. He tried to rub them away with his fingers,but the stains wouldnt vanish. Marks of his actions remained
If some passer would have seen his eyes then, he would have seen very unhappy kender,hopeless and heart bleeding... Just a few seconds later he would have seen cold eyes,with merciless gaze... As the mask was again pulled onto his face.
He was wandering in his darkest hour. Without hope and without destination. Walking to his doom... As was all who confronted Xynisto and drows of his kind. Cursed drows!
