Guess who just got robbed? Turns out I did have something worth stealing. If only I knew what it was. They tore apart one of my coats, apparently something was hidden in the lining. It's a smugglers truck, a way to get free mules that can't cross you. Should have known it was too good a bargain, but I just thought the sellers were pressed up hard. And they even asked which way I was going. Stupid. 

     I'm surprised this works, but hey, guess it does. And I'm out a winter coat. At least they let me go on my way after. The folks from before weren't kidding, these guys are hard into the King Arthur - Robin Hood type thing. They're dressed up and have banners and swords and stuff. I guess swords are a pretty practical weapon nowadays. Spears and stuff too. Me, I still have my walking stick. 

   Oh, I also met a blacksmith today. Like an actual, hammer and forge, anvil and bellows blacksmith. The guy used to do it as a hobby before this all, then after realized hey, career options. Nice guy. Asked me to take a letter to his sister. She left for west with her husband and kids. Figured why not, I don't really have a set travel plan. Just asking people if they've seen you. Heck, I even asked the robbers. I think they think I'm nuts now. I don't care, I'm not gonna be judged by a bunch of bullies. 

   I hope you found a place where no one bullies you.
