QUEST LOG 38.1

Goodness. I haven't had the time to record any events since I've arrived here at Hammerfall. I have been doing all I can to help the Trolls and Orcs here; They have been under attack by the Syndicate for quite some time. At first all I could do was slay nearby creatures to prove the strength Mayne and I possess. Once the Trolls believed we could be of use, I was given one quest after another with barely any rest. In fact, this is the first time in several days that Mayne and I have had enough time to rest and regain our energy like this. I haven't heard from Holku for weeks, but I trust he's doing well in Undercity.
          So much has happened during my short stay here at Hammerfall, but I suppose the only quests worth mentioning are the ones I've done most recently. A troll by the name of Zengu told me of an old adversary of his race, a Thoras Trollbane. Thoras is dead now, but when alive he wielded a sword which he named Trol'Kalar. I don't quite remember, but I believe Zengu said the name meant something along the lines of 'Troll Killer' or something like that. Anyway, the sword is kept with Thoras in his tomb, but Zengu would rather have the weapon so it may be used in the Troll's favor, rather than against them. What he needs me to do is gather up the four Sigils that are required to open the tomb. The Sigil of Stromgarde, the Sigil of Thoradin, the Sigil of Arathor, and the last: the Sigil of Trollbane.

          Mayne and I have managed to get the first three sigils from Stromgarde Syndicate and Ogres alike, but I fear we are not yet strong enough to aquire the fourth on our own. Prince Galen Trollbane, the son of Thoras, is the bearer of the last sigil and I hear his strength is formitable. He would be a difficult advisary even before his men were made aware of the missing Sigils they no longer carry; and I won't risk Mayne's life unless I am sure we could handle it. 

          Mayne has really grown in strength. She is truly a worthy companion. While acquiring the Sigil of Arathor from Lieutenant Valorcall, who leads the Syndicate Cavalry, we were outnumbered. After fighting off a few men I was out of mana, and with three men still standing, including Valorcall, I was beginning to worry. Mayne then distracted all three men with an ear-piercing screech, taking all the focus off of me and giving me time to drink a small potion to restore my mana.  Soon as I was able, I pulled two of the men off of her with my arrows. While I fought them, Mayne kept attacking Valorcall on her own. I tried to slay the men as fast as I could; I knew that as strong as Mayne was, Valorcall was much stronger.

          But she held her own. By the time my opponents were slain, so was Valorcall. I quickly looted the Sigil from him, a shining pink stone, then led Mayne to a safe area where she could rest. She was wounded, but not nearly as much as I worried she would be. I healed her wounds and fed her some moss, her favorite. It was not the first time Mayne has saved me, I am truly grateful to her. Her skills in combat continue to impress me.
