Hail and well met once more,
I have heard of a temple dedicated to out lord Bristlebane located in
the city of Rivervale. When I reached the 6th level of accomplishment I
thought with the help of Selo's Acceleando I could journey forth and pay
homage. Alas I was woefully mistaken. Fortunately in the land of
Bertoxxulous there resides a noble ranger by the name of Zepheloth, whose
patience and generosity are truly astounding. He helped me reclaim my
meager possessions and rescued me countless times from some infernal place
called Highpass Hold. I can only hope that in the future I will have the
opportunity to repay his kindness. Perhaps there is a sonnet in there
somewhere?

The humbled
