A Merchant's Notes - Bogdush's Journal

Frostfall - 9th

Spent a long time on the road. I am glad to be out of
Reaper's March. Although, I think all I did was trade one
sauna for another. The jungle.. What in the nine hells
was I thinking? Hot, muggy.. rains constantly.. At least the
town is quiet. Though.. I also don't put anything past places
like this. Sometimes the peace hides other things. Guess
only time will tell what this place is really like.

Time in Rawl was.. alright. My contact never showed up. I know
what happened however. Dead. Someone killed the poor bastard.
Ten coins says the tuskless fool pissed off someone. At least he
didn't outright sod off somewhere. Rawl also had some fair bit of
business. Khajiits are an interesting people. Perhaps some of the best
customers I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

With that town also being so busy, lots of people to buy the runes too.
Both sides of business went well. I wonder how well my business will
do in this backwater town. It's small. But there are a lot of people in
this area. Mages are mainly what I deal with for regular business. For
my.. other.. business. Well.. time will tell. Good thing I'm a.. mostly..
patient man.

Frostfall - 10th

The feral little elves sure know how to make a man
comfortable. I haven't slept in a hammock in years. It's a
differnet hammock than what I had in my youth. But just
as comfortable. Put everything away.. Or.. most of everything.
I still need to find a place to stash my stash. Just to be safe.

Who's to know who may or may not come into my room while
I am away. Or asleep for that matter. I'm sure there's a place
in the forest where I can hide my things. Or maybe a loose
floorboard perhaps.

Frostfall - 19th

Business is incredibly slow here. Maybe I made a mistake
by coming to this village. I'm hoping things pick back up soon.
Also need to find the proper clients again. There are plenty
of mages around from what I've seen. But... my other stock
is suffering from lack of buyers.

Now this place is so damn foggy, I can't even see two feet in
front of my own damned nose. Going to the beach is clearly out.
Good thing I haven't written my supplier. Would hate to stand
them up and leave them on a beach with the stock. While
surrounded by gods know what.

Heard that some people got hurt last night. This fog isn't
natural.

I'm no mage, and even I can see that. I'm not risking
my damned neck. I'll stay here in the village where it's safe.
Couldn't pay me to go into the fog. Not with the howling and
strange sounds.

Sun's Dusk - 4th

Went to meet up with the supplier tonight. He was a no show.He likely ran into some rough weather. Not a big deal. Tuskless fool. I'm sure he'll show up in a few days. In the mean time, I just need to keep coming down here every night. To ensure that I am here when he arrives.

The werewolf encounter the other night, at the tavern, got me thinking.Maybe the rumors of this area aren't all bark. Seems some of them got bite to them after all. Because of this, I think if I travel outside of town, I'll be going fully armored and armed. Better safe than dead.

If business doesn't pick up soon, I'll have to find another outlet. Sitting idle has never been a strong suit. Maybe I'll join up with the the Fighter's Guild... It'd give me something to do other than sitting on my hands, looking foolish and bored.

I'll spend tomorrow on the beach, I think. Though I've also heard of something called the Rose Garden. Going there might be interesting. Though I'm uncertain of when it's open. Suppose it's time to wrap it up here. This mug won't refill itself.
