One day Erwin, Arlan and Zalea were traveling to Lumenhold to sell their goods when they were beset by Twig Blights. All hoped seemed lost until a squadron of paladins came and dove them off. Ever since then Erwin aspired to be a paladin.

He is an exemplary officer of the watch keeping the peace in this medium sized town, healing injuries and diseases, helping keep the local wolf population down and occasionally wrestling a drunk to sober up. Arlan didn't have the same inclination and became a scribe. Mother stayed in the village, they visit and send letters monthly.

Journal
[Entry Zero ]-Today I was taking lunch on the inn's steps when a ragged group of people showed up, an elf with daggers(Pang), and 1/2 orc with a huge axe(Kodran), an elven man with a quarterstaff(Iorven) and a human woman(Prose) of the cloth showed up. They were carrying 1/2 a body(Kip) and a stone statue(Lynn). After asking if the needed help, I directed them to a local church and learned that a basilisk worshiped by a strange cultist had befallen them and they paid a weighty price for their success. The were looking for help destoning their party member and resurrecting their other party member. The member of the clergy that could help them hadn't returned and was just a days travel away to a familiar town, Lakeview. I accompanied them with the pretext of a missing persons report, and I wanted to see the countryside. When we got to Lakeview, it was a grotesque house of horrors. The villagers had been killed and some undead ghost was controlling them to attack the cleric we were looking for. We rushed to save him and were in combat. The ghostly creature came up and grabbed me and I fell my consciousness leave me as dark energies coursed thru me draining my vitality. Then through force of will to avenge these innocent, I woke up on my last legs and smited him with all my strength. Against then a undead villager took a swing at me and I recognized him, the innkeeper who would pour pints, as I was hit again and went down. I felt like my strength was leaving me until I woke up seeing the face of the woman of the cloth named Prose stuff a nasty mushroom down my throat. We saved the cleric but he was unconscious for some reason Afterwords I wondered, those people could have been me if I hadn't had a party to protect me. Whatever happened to Helm protecting the weak? I do not fear death, but rather a untimely one. Nothing could have prepared me for seeing the undead, something only talked about, nothing I had seen before. We checked the houses for clues, hunkered down of the night after checking the houses for clues. Aren't the templar's supposed to stop such horrors from happening? We spent the night there
