"The Quest Blog"

Alright so this is my second attempt at posting the adventures of my character in The Quest . I changed for 2 main reasons-
1- My save file was messed up when I switched devices even though I saved it by computer.
2- Rasvim is NOT a noob-friendly race, and this guide was intended for noobs in the first place. I have decided to redesign a more playable character for first-timers.
Chapter1- Vlad
My character is the Nogur named Vlad.
Trained in the ways of heavy weaponry, armor, and shield work, as well as accuracy, diplomacy(persuade), and environmental magic, Vlad was sent to Freymore to investigate the cause of Governor Hume's disappearance for his first mission. Arriving he was met by a fat man named Bryl. Bryl pointed him towards the capital city, Mithria, and the Thieve's Guild of Vastares . First though, he advised gearing up and getting a financial base in Matras. So Vlad set out in town to the house of the mayor, along the way noticing how sour the town smelled. The mayor explained that there was a rumor going around town that there was a plague and that people were dropping dead in the streets. He told Vlad to inquire at the inn for more information.
Walking for about 5 minutes, He came to the tavern. Hose the innkeeper greeted Vlad and told him that the noxious air was coming from the crypt where he had buried his aunt. He set out for the cemetery but first bought some new gear- a knight's helm from the smithy.
Finally Vlad set out for the crypt, where he found 2 skeletons chilling above the ground . He quickly (re)killed them before finding the ladder and cautiously climbing down. Inside he turned a corner and found a cobweb, which he sliced open. Suddenly, 2 huge and hungry looking bats flew at Vlad! He sliced them down quickly and walked into the middle of the chamber, bow drawn. Suddenly, a venomous bat flew at him, which he shot once before it got close enough to hit with club. He sliced it down quickly and was thankfully not poisoned. Searching around the room he found a potion of cure poison, which he took just in case. Finding a side chamber, the source of the gas was discovered! He knocked some rocks down with his weapon to cover up the noxious gas. Finished, he could have left now but decided to explore further. Coming to another spider web he sliced it open to find 2 stone skeletons and one regular one. He killed those three with very little trouble. The stone skeletons did hurt him a bit so he rested afterwards. Next he scavenged a lock pick from the bodies. Continuing he found a mossy chamber with a book about undead magic on a pedestal, a ritual skull which he took, and a coffin which he tapped. Suddenly a ghoul attacked him. They fought for a while before Vlad was backed into a corner and he hit the ghoul, forcing him around the corner. Vlad quickly drank 2 potions of healing as he was injured, and ran at the ghoul, being hit with a magic attack first that stung badly. He endured and cut down the ghoul, scavenging several magic scrolls and 150 coins. He was exhausted.
Achieving level 2 I put 2 points into strength and endurance and 1 into intelligence. For skills I put 2 into each primary except persuade and accuracy, putting 1 into each of those.
