Keeb's Life Tale:
My life began as all lives begin, at birth. The only peculiarity that I know of is that I don't know the exact circumstances of my birth. My earliest recollections were of sweeping floors for the right honorable Bishop Frishar at a monastery to a little known and worshipped god. Bishop Frishar was the head of the monastery and they took me on when my father brought me there at birth because they believed they could use me seeing as how the whole of the monastery could not converse with outsiders. However if they kept me on as a simple floor sweeper they could on occasion send me on errands to the near by town. Life was good if rather hard and boring. Up before dawn and to bed before dusk and lots of sweeping in between. Well I lived there fairly happily not knowing much of the world and so not desiring anything else at all. All I ever saw of other people besides the brothers of the order were simple towns folk who I only saw for small moments while on short errands. However as you all know my life must have changed for I am not a simple floor sweeper for a monastery. No where near such a thing in fact. The event that began changing my life was when I was probably about sixteen in age and a bit adventurous though my idea of adventure was a bit narrow and vague. For me adventure was staying out a little longer on my errands than I was supposed to. Well one day I was walking along and was beguiled by one of those people who stand out side taverns and yell out about the pleasures to be had within. In anycase I came in and spent a bit of the change from my purchase of eggs for the monastery to buy a pint of ale. I loved the stuff and stayed out all night quite to the distress to those of the monastery when I staggered in at six the next morning. I was punished and given a long hard lecture on the evils of ale and the like. I was not convinced being at an age when I was a bit rebellious and had my own ideals about the way I should conduct myself. In anycase I felt I had a grand old time down at the ale house and wished to return there as soon as possible for another night on the town. I set about making myself a plan of how to come about required funds and a way out. The funds were actually quite easily procured from the Monastery Coffers I simply slipped in at night and made way with a small bit of change. Getting out was a bit more challenging I had to avoid a score of Elders on their way to prayers but that overcome I was on my way. The next morning I was able to slip back in and was never missed, for a while in anycase. At some point about a week later the Bishop Frishar decided we needed some goats milk and I was going to get it but when he found the coffers a bit lighter than they should have been he sounded the alarm. All in the monastery were made to search the place for the sneak thief. Even I myself had to look much to my own consternation and worry. We looked everywhere and it was soon found that there wasn't a thief inside the Monastery and that it must have been one of the monks. They set about searching all the Monastery for signs that such things had taken place and to my dismay they found a small bag of gold under my mattress. Now the Monks of this particular monastery were not perhaps the most strict but there was one thing they did not tolerate and that was disloyalty. The Bishop judged me and their council came upon a decision of what my punishment would be. I was to have one finger from what was thought to be the offending hand removed and was to be cast out with no more than five silvers and some waybread and water. Firstly I traveled down to the town and being naive as I was squandered my five silvers on a short night at the tavern. Much to my dismay I found they did not take credit and I was thrown out on the street. I was not happy about this change of circumstances but I was not entirely sad. I had the whole of the world in front of me and I figured I'd make a big man of myself and have my name go down in history as some great hero or another. So I set out into the wilderness and began a new life. I learned of the city of Seringale and began to travel in that general direction. Continued in 'storyB' |
