Ten'Gu's Adventure Log - Entries 1 and 2.

Ten'Gu is told that you ape creatures find Ten'Gu's constant mention of his name peculiar or annoying. Ten'Gu does not care.

Entry 1 - Autumn:

Ten'Gu is traveling with Zenji the monk man, Rhogar the lizard creature, Elenna the woman creature, Junior the warlord man, and Dumar, the frustratingly ferocious muscle of the group. We are representing the Edici Banking Company in a tournament of champions. Our benefactor wishes for us to gain the favor of a noble house, which will allow our "bank" to extend its... insurance policies, if you catch Ten'Gu's drift.

After "acquiring" tickets, we proceeded to a small farming village where the first event was being held. Ten'Gu signed his group in for tournament, Zenji provided us with our team name: "Team Revenant." Ten'Gu likes, very catchy.

When asked for a leader, Rhogar wisely suggested that Ten'Gu lead the group, and Zenji followed suit. These followers of Tiamat are indeed wise... all the more reason for Ten'Gu to watch his back (and his pocket book).

Our group seemed to attract a bit of attention at the local inn, where tournament champions are apparently rarely seen. Ten'Gu performed a little song and dance, while Dumar, Rhogar, and Junior impressed the crowd with a few feats of strength. Hearts and minds, Ten'Gu thinks. We will use villagers as a new financial venture, of sorts. Tomorrow, I think our investment will pay off.

Entry 2 - Autumn:

Ten'Gu and Team Revenant entered the arena to find a simple slime creature opposing us. This slime-thing was surrounded by a low retaining wall, which it could not pass. Ten'Gu wisely took to the outer reaches of the arena, assuming a rapid-fire stance with his trusty bow and arrow, while the rest of the team approached cautiously. The crowd, as Ten'Gu had planned, seemed mostly encouraging, shouting words of wisdom to us!

Things quickly escalated out of control, as the slime multiplied twice for every time it was struck! Ten'Gu tried to rally his team in a single corner of the arena, but Zenji was trapped, and the slime had quickly spread to over half of the arena. Dumar, for better or worse, was completely impervious to the slime, and recklessly tore a swath of destruction around him. Still, things were looking grim, and Ten'Gu prepared his soul to beg forgiveness from the Raven Queen herself should he fail in this most unglamorous challenge.

But oh, the profit Ten'Gu made from winning the hearts of the citizens! They informed us, through their rebellious shouting, that the retaining a wall was indeed a modular installation! The strongest of the group each unearthed a section of the wall, and fenced the slimes into smaller and smaller spaces, until Zenji and Ten'Gu were able to obliterate the remains.

A small and foolish victory, but a net gain for Team Revenant.

Slime wrangling!
