A Change of Pace?

(Journal of Augustus Fontaine)
The current date is Wilahaul 27th, a rather worrying number of heavily armed people just landed on the vertigron isles. It would appear they had a rather interesting time traveling here given the state of they’re equipment and the abundance of exhausted faces. Given my recent misfortune I might try my hand at joining they’re ranks, perhaps recruiting a few of they’re people into my own crew, will update later.

Well it’d seem this group of newcomers is called “Meadowmere” a rather odd name but there have certainly been worse. Among they’re ranks are a number of rather odd characters, 3 of which were rather… peculiar. A siren that they seemed to trust for whatever reason, a completely insane looking albeit colorful fey, and a elf that would appear to be affiliated with some form of cheese merchants? One things for certain, this is easily the weirdest group of travelers I’ve ever stumbled across. Saying that I believe I truly might be able to find a worthy crew among they’re ranks. I suppose I should start looking… however I can’t really hire a crew without any money so I might do some light marketing while I’m here.

There was certainly an abundance of odd-end merchants swarming the poor sods, however one was selling quite cheap apples which I figured I’d be able to turn around into some mild form of profit, oh how wrong I was. Not only that but some “meat” guy took a bite of my apple! The nerve of that one, and what’s even worse is the guard refused to step in at all! Bloody useless authority I tell ya. I suppose I at least got some food to tide my hungering stomach, although I doubt I can stretch a couple copper and apples very far but I’ll be damned if I’m not gonna try. I suppose I could also begin gambling to collect some nice money quick, or god forbid get a job with these Meadowmerians, meadowmereites? Whatever they call themselves. Seeing how large this group is I’m more then willing to bet they have some enemies they’d pay a pretty copper to see executed, I might’ve just found my “honest work”.

I should put together a list of priorities for the time being, seeing as I haven’t much else to fill my time with.
-Collect some substantial money Fast
-Hire a more permanent trading crew
-Look for hit jobs
-The town guard of these Meadowmere people
-some group called “The Consortium”

All things considered these people might’ve been a large stroke of good luck for me. I just might be able to restore the name of the Ashen-Blade.
