Day 330, Year 542 of the Ascendancy

Well, LIFE’s Foothills expedition was cut short today, when our
expedition’s two shovel holders went into the Ash Valley, and got
killed past healing. We still had a large number of people camped out
at the base of Ash Valley, including powerful exiles as Yor and Urgelt,
but it was decided that the expedition would go no where without the
shovels. So, Yor and Urgelt went into the Ash Valley to rescue our
shovel. And fell. At this point, it was decided that the only chance
for the expedition to continue, was to chain out the fallen exiles out
of the Ash Valley. Unfortunately, our whole party got killed doing just
that. Thus, everyone was forced to depart or pendant out from the
Foothills.

Our expedition wasn’t a total failure, however.
Before we fell, Soulmaster and I were able to use our skristals to
learn interesting things about the structure of the Foothills. We also
learned some valuable lessons from the expedition, and and grew closer
to working together as a team. Yor’s idea to camp out in the east end
of the Foothills also proved to be a great idea, and we got a lot of
exploring done, before the unfortunate events in the Ash Valley. I am
confident that our group will do better next time. Departing early from
the Foothills gave me the opportunity to attend my clan meeting though,
and I also got to do a lot of work on my Devil’s Isle map. Best of all,
I made close to 200 coins in the Foothills, so I no longer have to
sleep in the cheap library. Woo!
