Journal entry 1- Walking back home from exploring this new land, a man runs up to me scared and terrified. This mysterious man's clothes were ripped and tattered. His appearance was that of a starving dog, cuts and bruises covered his entire body. This man had clearly not eaten for days. Cling to my feet he first mumbles then screams BANDITS! BANDITS! over and over. I tell him to calm down and explain what has happened. He then proceeds to tell me that he was trapped and forced in to slavery by the bandits. The man then tells me how he escaped, apparently that the bandits were celebrating a victory of some sort. As the evening progressed the bandits became completely drunk. The bandit that was guarding his cell passed out and dropped the keys. He left his cell and killed the guard while he was asleep. He says he stole a sword, a club, a hide chest and some coin from the dead corpse. Feeling sympathy for this man I offered some little food I could spare. The man gives a sigh of relief and tears pour down his face. The man gives me a long and uncomfortable stare, a stare that seemed to penetrate deep in to my being. He then breaks eye contact and looks to the east he says to me "most men would kill me and take all that I have.. but not you, I give you all that i have except the coin that should suffice for me to get back home." This stranger give's me all that he have then leaves.

I get back to my camp thinking about all that has happened. I see my worker gather wood, he is not doing to well maybe it is because he has been sleeping on the ground. I tell him to stop gathering wood and make a bed. I also tell him that I will be gone for a few days to investigate the goblin tower I heard my neighboring colonist discussing while I was at the outpost.
