Where the story goes
In reply to Storyteller (msg # 1):
Anoushka Li's story begins on a road somewhere, as is the wont of stories told among her people although there is a good chance that she will neer see her people, or at least her own particular clan again.
Anoushka fell, you see, after a battle with goblins, too many goblins it must be said, somewhere on the road between Baldur's Gate and somewhere far, far to the North. She was unconscious and left behind although the goblin who came to rob her corpse found a nasty surprise in the shape of a knife between the eyes. She rolled into a ditch after that, and rolled her dirty clothes about her so none found her and she passed once more into blessed sleep.
Some time later she was found by another and thanks be to... well let His name remain unspoken among those who sit on their stoops... this one, a halfling, took her home to nurse her back to health. Anoushka owed this halfling a favour and was happy to pay it but after the favour was paid, she stayed on the road, walking, walking, walking, never arriving. For her people, there never is a place to arrive at all, only the Long Road.
