4th ENTRY

As i sit in the fire light just outside a village in a land they call Englo Ben, I have a new fire kindled within me. We stormed the gnoll stronghold, defeated Bone Gnasher, made off with the prize artifact, and escaped with our lives. A successful mission by any measure. I stopped the priest from making what i thought to be a huge mistake, only to find the mistake was mine. With our new found acquaintance we have a way to rid ourselves of the pirates and these cursed collars. I'm not sure how much i trust this old magik smith, but he seems to have just as much reason to sink Garabaldi as i do. But, what of the trolls? We cannot expect that once we are freed from our captivity that the trolls will automatically follow suit. Lord Daneisha and i have had time to talk about this and have concluded that the way to keep our control over the trolls is through the priest. His influence that i feared would lead to mutiny now seems to be a very useful tool. I have heard stories of great warrior that had nothing to fuel their battle than faith in a god. this faith has moved mountains, destroyed cities, and reduced great empires to rubble. I now think that this faith, if used properly could be the most powerful weapon of all.
