I've been spending much of my time training in the Kunschtat Highlands. There always seems to be a decent amount of sheep around bit I'm not quite sure if I should attack them or not, especially since I've been told they like to gang up on aggressors. I can easily take saplings and wasps but they are so small that I barely ever have to exert myself. If I could find a party I would be able to take on larger animals without fear.
Whoa what the heck just happened. I just got torn apart by a Strolling Sappling. My mind was on the goods I wanted to sell instead of the fight. It might be a good idea to treat each battle, no matter how small, as one that I may not walk away from or else I might not walk away from it.
The wasps and saplings make excellent shooting practice for my crossbow, too bad I ran out of bolts.
Training alone is good for building strength but it does little to help me build my tactical combat skills. I really need to work on my chain skills but unless I can find a party there is little I can do.
I just located a monument of Groynham Ironheart at G7 on the Kunschtat Highlands map. Interesting, the windmills stand as functional monuments to the merchants of Bastok and San D'Oria.
I can truly see the improvement in my skill with polearms since I started, so much so that my spear has actually become usefull.
I finally meet up with a party, Seferot and Methos. Both are warriors of similiar strength to me. I guess they designated me leader, I hope I can handle the job.
We just fought two battles, a mad sheep and a veteran Quadav. The battles weren't difficult but we are going to need a white mage. Otherwise we will have to waste most of our time resting.
Currently we are searching for a white mage but to no avail. Methos wants to go to the dunes but I fear many white mages don't feel they are up to such a task.
Almost lost Methos. Ah crap two sheep headed this way. Methos pushed himself as hard as he could on that one and we just barely pulled through it thanks to his valiant efforts.
