Party Realities

I've had a few hours to sit here and contemplate what just occurred. We had a large room full of opponents, maybe ten on my right and one on my left with the party evenly distributed. The two warriors Phandin and Kiira leave the bulk of the opponents and expose myself and Aramas to deal with all ten opponents by ourselves. Aramas was lucky enough to have arcane magic that let him disappear and avoid the onslaught, but I was not.

My buddies back at Grimjaw would laugh at me for being surprised. Everyone is out for one person, themselves, and to expect anything else is foolish. Somehow I thought this party would be different, but they are the same as every other time I've had to work with a group of people.

Just remember, I am getting significant rewards for taking extraordinary risks. No one has my back and some may even conspire to hinder me, just like before... Do your job and nothing more, so that you can be alive to enjoy the rewards.
