Ten'Gu's Adventure Log - Entries 3 and 4.

Entry 3 - Autumn:

With our victory secured, Team Revenant is now ready to move on to the next town! Dumar and Zenji overslept... Ten'Gu does not have time for their tardiness! They will just have to catch up with us.

With little money for airship fare, we decided on the more economic option of taking the train. Ten'Gu enjoys the classical mystique of trains!

Fortunately for us, our "representitive" aqcuired free tickets for us. Ten'Gu was kind enough to leave two for Dumar and Zenji... although he briefly considered scalping them. The tickets, of course, not Dumar and Zenji. For now, the strength of allies is a more wise investment than gold.

Unfortunately for our "representitive," he met an... untimely end. It is a pity when an investement is no longer profitable, but we must all learn when to cut our losses...

Entry 4 - Autumn:

The train is crowded, packed with both tournament spectators and participants, and it seems as if Ten'Gu has attracted some unwanted attention from a rather demonic looking fellow, flanked by his bloodthirsty cronies.

What followed was a daring battle atop the moving train. The demon's goons were dispatched rather handily, although one struck Elenna as his unconcious body careened off the back of the speeding train. Ten'Gu thought this was rather humorous... Elenna has a habit of rhyming her words, and it was beginning to grate on Ten'Gu's polite demeanor.

Junior and Rhogar kept the demon engaged... until the train came to a tunnel! All three of them ducked just in time, but Ten'Gu, in my obsessive need to show my skill in agility, waited too long to duck and was barely clipped by the tunnel, which rightfully incapacited Ten'Gu for a moment.

When Ten'Gu recuperated, he saw the demon escaping, flying past the front of the train! The Raven Queen would not be denied the soul of this one! Ten'Gu struck the demon's wings with avenging shackles, impeding his flight and sending him careening to the tracks below, where he met a gruesome end. Raven Queen be praised!

This had, of course, the unfortunate side effect of slightly derailing the train, leaving us stranded in the mountains. But with a little diplomacy, Ten'Gu's sincere... manipulation of the assets at hand proved valuable. As did Rhogar and Junior's more brutish approach of threatening the train's gaurds.

At the very least, the train's patrons now think of us as heroes. Hearts and minds.
