00:08Well, this is a fine mess, isn't it? The earth groans, the walls crumble, and the enemy isn't
00:17even alive enough to appreciate the trouble they're causing. Have you ever tried fighting an
00:228th spawn? Slow, shambling, dumbest rocks? Easy, right? Until they start running at you, in
00:33groups. And the worst part? They just keep coming. The cryaks are easy. You fight until
00:42one side gives up. They spawn. They don't surrender. They don't negotiate. They don't
00:50even get tired. I almost got bitten by one that looked like a mutt the other day.
00:58I could have been a baker. Or even a blacksmith. There's a good coin in that.
01:04A stupid, foolish me wanted adventure. Wanting to be a hero like in those stories you read.
01:11There's nothing like those stories. Fighting wars is brutal, bloody business. It's damned
01:18places on its knees. The banners have fallen, the screams have faded, and the crows picket
01:24the remains of a city that dies in the mud. But all that's left. A handful of battered
01:31soldiers, stubborn knights, and less than sober mercenaries. Most would choose to be anywhere
01:39but here. If their coin purses weren't so empty. You'd be surprised at how persuasive and empty
01:45stomach and a stack of gold could be. But let me tell you, it's not worth it. The job
01:51only gets worse. Don't believe the posters. Don't answer firing's call. Or do. It's your
02:01decision. What do I know? I've only been here, awake, for three days straight. And I swear
02:10to the gods I just saw a Gnome move. Maybe I'll see you soon. Maybe I won't. The bay is
02:19good.
