W00t, update on Soren.
Today, Soren woke up, and did his chores, or rather what one would consider chores for an Elven Paladin. However, just as Soren was finishing up his chores, Gorion came and gave Soren some gold, and told him to go buy some equipment for a journey. Soren made his way to the Candlekeep Inn, and slowly contemplated on why Gorion, and him were leaving Candlekeep. Once inside of the inn, Soren still could not quite wrap his head around why they were leaving. He just kept thinking "Would it not be wiser to stay within the protected walls of Candlekeep?"
Soren spoke to Winthrop, and bought some equipment. Namely, A Bastard Sword, a Large Shield, a Helmet, twenty bolts, two-hundred arrows, and some Studded Leather Armor since he could not afford some chainmail, or splintmail due to the Iron Shortage to the south. However, while buying said equipment, Soren wondered why Imoen was not in the Inn, but he shook it off when he spoke to a woman named Linda. She had chopped off her fiancee's arm to save their lives. Soren thought that Linda was a very brave woman, and decided that he would go talk to Sir Trun. Next, Soren spoke to a man that he knew quite well, Firebead. Firebead needed his scroll of Identify back from Tethtoril. Soren said that he would go get it.


Soren exited the inn, he was going to go do the new chores set ahead of him, until he found Phlydia
Phlydia was missing her book. Soren said that he would go get it for her. Soren wished from that moment that Phlydia would never change, even when hes long gone from Candlekeep. Then, while searching for the book, Soren went into the Priest's Quarters, and found a man that tried to kill him! Soren was in shock, and surprise, especially when he killed the man! Soren did not know what was going on, but he hoped that he did not break his Paladin vows. Next, Soren exited the Priest's Quarters when a monk dressed in yellow, Parda, asked him where he got a scratch above his eye brow from. Soren told the truth, and said that a man had tried to kill him. To which Parda said to go get his equipment and go speak to Gorion. Soren could not go do what Parda said yet though. Soren searched through the bale of hay in the stables, and found the book. Then, he spoke to Dreppin, and went to go get an Antidote for the cow. However, Soren went to return toe book first. Soren's reward was a gem, not that Soren wanted a reward he would have been quite happy with just a thank you.




Soren went back to his duties, and found Reevor. Reevor told Soren that he had to kill some rats. Soren did not mind killing the rats since they helped build up his fighting skills which were probably needed outside of Candlekeep any how. Once done killing the rats, Soren spoke to Reevor again, and got five gold pieces for his hard work.. (A/N: Once again, I have to say that Reevor's name reminds me of Reaver from Fable, minus the fact that he doesn't betray you to your enemy, or doesn't kill his workers for the lulz of it.)

After walking around, Soren spoke to Hull, and promised to get his sword. However, Soren thought that Hull really should remember to bring it with him next time since it is well, bad soldiership? Then, Soren went towards the infirmary, but was stopped by the Gatewarden. The Gatewarden told Soren that he should train with Obe for a while. Once again, Soren really did not mind since it would help his fighting skills, and his protection skills. However, Soren went into the infirmary first, and got a potion from a Priest. Also, Soren spoke to Sir Trun about his issue, and told him that he should take Linda as a squire. To which Sir Trun agreed. Next, Soren went and did his training with Obe. After the training, Linda showed up, and spoke to Soren, and told him that she was going to be a squire. Soren was actually very happy at that moment.



Then, Soren went to another building where another person tried to kill him. Soren was once again in shock after killing the man. Soren started to think that Candlekeep was not originally as safe as he thought it was. Then a monk dressed in green showed up, Karan, and asked what had happened, to which Soren could only tell the truth. Once again, Soren was told to go to Gorion, but he could not. Not until he was done, and he had to say goodbye to one more person. Soren hated to say goodbye. To him saying goodbye meant I'm never going to see you again. However, Soren did some more things. Soren gave some bolts to Fuller, and got five gold pieces, and got told he was a money grubber. Then, Soren gave Hull his sword, and got twenty gold pieces for it, and Hull said something nice. Next, Soren spoke with Dreppin, and gave him the antidote for his cow. Soren went to the courtyard, and spoke with Tethtoril, and got the scroll of Identify, and gave it to Firebead. Firebead cast Protection from Evil on Soren.





Soren went back to the courtyard, and spoke with Imoen. Soren said that he would ask Gorion to take her with them, and he really wished that he could take Imoen with him. However, Imoen said that Gorion would never allow that. After speaking with Imoen, Soren spoke with Gorion and told him that he was ready. Soren felt sorrowful, and wished that he did not have to go, but he had to, so then he could keep everyone safe. Before exiting Candlekeep, Gorion said that if anything were to happen that Soren should go to the Friendly Arm Inn, and find Khalid and Jaheira.


After what seemed like hours of walking in silence, something happened. Gorion and Soren were in an ambush. Some Armored Man told Gorion to hand over his ward and nobody would be hurt. However, Gorion did not, and he got into a battle with the Armored Figure. While Soren got shot with a Flame Arrow from the armored figure's associate. Then, Soren instinctively ran with Gorion told him to. However, once Soren was a safe distance away, he used his elven eyes, and saw Gorion fighting with the Armored Figure until Gorion was cut down. Then, Soren continued to run, and cried while doing so. Soren had lost his father. When it was dawn, Soren decided he had to head towards the Friendly Arm Inn, however, before he could do that he heard a familar voice. Imoen's voice. They had spoke for a bit, and then Imoen decided to go with Soren.
