We have no allegiance but to whoever pays better. Even nobles from different houses have sent emissaries to court us into their service. It seems that I can haggle for better payments in prospective contacts much easier now that we’re more famous. We are now considered a professional company. We killed bandits, protected towns, even “rescued” a few artefacts from the clutches of a few not-quite-dead horrors. He’s a beauty, isn’t he? Day 30 Our renown through the land grows. He already has a permanent injury (just don’t call him Sorrel One-Ear or you’ll end up being called Split-Head-by-Axe), I should keep him in as much in one piece as I can. We even have money to treat Sorrel’s wounds in the temple. Admittedly, we have lost a few brothers due to bad strokes of luck – or strikes of a brigand’s axe, if you want to be precise. We have managed to have a good flow of gold, regardless. The lads seem to be in high spirits, even though they took a blow to their payroll. Nothing noble in a mercenary’s life.ĭay 20 We have our banner. Mundane tasks, but they do keep the gold coming in. We should be ambitious enough, earn renown across the country, carry out more contracts. The company has even asked what our main goal should be. Time to kill that bastard, Hoggart.ĭay 10 Days have gone by fast. We returned after I managed to recruit a farmer boy and a miner from the local town. I don’t need him drunk, ferocious though he may be. I need to keep an eye on him, lest he ends up drinking the bottom of the barrel every time we stop at a town.
I guess he wanted to commemorate his fallen comrades… and forget. Sorrel Orcbane immediately went for a big jug of ale. I have been given time to recuperate and build the company a little bit so we can take our revenge. He took it lightly, told me that he can find out where Hoggart is hiding. What’s worse was the fact that I had to return like a beaten dog to my employer and tell him I failed. Two brothers lie dead and that swine escaped our grasp, leaving his henchmen to finish the job.
We underestimated him, and we paid the price.
