165 Bastion's Diary Lastchance2099 July 7th 2011. Working on the huge outside farm someone built... It's amazing! Now we won't have any food shortages! after I've finished that, I'll probably head over to "The Fort" and see if I can fix it up any. July 6th 2011. :: The farm is now complete, and we've actually built our own shop to raise money to purchase more land. Also, I cleared out the Fort and completely redid the floor with sandstone, to make a better base. Besides that, I turned the small pond beside our HQ into an actual fountain. it looks pretty good, and Our base is really coming together. Even More! At our shop, a man named Shadow requested cake, so I added a 'Cake of Truth' to my Bread of Justice. I was kinda kidding, but I guess Chief liked it cuz thats what its named :) I also removed the small original farm, and I think we'll make a Library, since books are getting pretty big. Did I mention that I had to give a triple interview the other day? If that doesn't show you how many new people we're getting... Besides all that, I have big news! Today I was promoted to Colonel!!!! :D I've been working hard, but I think Chief deserves half the credit, because I know that without an enjoyable leader I wouldn't have been so willing to put in effort. We get along pretty well, and his decisions so far, have been wise and surprising in a good way. Well I'm literally starving to death so until next time... July 8th 2011 I'm getting stressed I suppose. I was locked out of the farm and library... I did finish excavating the fort, and I even built the base for a few rooms. However, after that out of need I went in search of a nice tavern. However there didn't seem to be one open, and so sadly after roaming around for an hour and recieving only one bit of ale, I returned home more heavyhearted. and only a tad tipsy... What's more, the Vanguard has built an incredibly large castle in Kromoroe. I fear that if Holmes does not begin doing the same, we will end up sitting beneath their thrones... Did I mention my need of ale? ::July 9th 2011 It was just sitting on our HQ's front step... all it says is :: "Kal'Bryst Coordinates" and then the coordinates From what I"ve gathered it is an incredibly long journey, but I am too interested to not try. I'll write more later, but for now I'm on my way! Well, It seems I have stumbled upon Kal'Bryst... However by luck as the coordinates were not very accurate. of course, now I wish to go to the coordinates it gave me, so I'm off! :: Day Four of my journey I am roughly half way to my destination, yet it has taken me four days. It has been a smooth journey so far, I've discovered a few riches that makes this quest worth it even if I arrive at nothing. I even stumbled into the Wizards town, what's it called winter...winter something As for right now, I'm standing near a cavern filled with surface lava. So powerful, and destructive... This is the first time I have set eyes upon lava, and I find it quite impressive... anyway, I'm burning daylight. I shall continue. I made it. As i suspected there was nothing... nothing on the surface. the coordinates led deep underground, however I am not such a skilled miner to reach it. instead I have left a beacon... I wrote the coordinates, and a message. If anyone else journeys to these coordinates, they will hopefully search for me as well. However I must make haste, night is falling and my food supply is low. I have returned. The journey was not as easy as before, starving I fought countless monsters. Many times I nearly fell off perilous mountains, or drowned in the furious sea. But all is well. I returned before I starved. Ready to serve the people again.
