Why This One Wants to Go: Ashen Bounty XI

Written by: Justin "J'orsta" Thibeault

This Ashen Bounty is very unlike other Ashen Bounties that J'ortsa has attended in recent years. This new return to the old ways entices and excites J'ortsa, as he has not attended a proper feast in some time. Nor has he attended a tournament in just as long if not longer! Khajiit is glad to be in the company of many of his adventuring friends and acquaintances. And he looks forward to the many mocktails and gambling shenanigans that may occur within the tavern.

The day of Loredas ((That's Saturday for you common folk)) will be filled with plenty of activities that J'ortsa finds most curious and delightful. The tournaments will surely be filled with epic highs and the crowd will be entertained as always. And the kid's quest will prove just how strong the up-and-coming legions of adventurers are, and whether or not the budget cuts are affecting the quality of their training. 

And for those of you that have stomachs that could rival the great Sir Jean Magnifique Try Baptiste, the monstrous appetizer contest should delight and terrify you! As the culinary minds of Ashenmark are eccentric and daring, no dish is too exotic for their chefs. 

J'ortsa himself is looking forward the most to the Labyrinth beneath the Stoneheart. This one does not know what the Stoneheart is, but he heard there was treasure left reasonably but not excessively guarded and as such he will be making at attempt to purloin, err liberate it. As all saviors of the Realms must do. 

Ashenmark court is a very elusive event, and this one is happy that he will be a part of the return of such formalities. As an observer. This one has no plans for Court, unless... But as this one knows so little of Ashenmark court, will be on the edge of his bench waiting in anticipation. ((Writers note: Id loooove to put a basketball joke here, but I am only so funny and creative.))

Sundas is also shrouded in mystery. And that is what excites Khajiit. This one hopes it is not another extradimensional threat, or evil lich that he must contend with. Although at least with a new lich perhaps Lord Elric will be less busy this time. Maybe this time it will be golems; this one has heard that Ashenmark has a lot of golems. Or perhaps kobolds that seem to infest all manners of locations in these kingdoms and nations. Whatever we will be tasked with, it is certain to be of no match for the combined efforts of the adventuring party that calls the Realms its home.


May your path lead you to warm sands,

J'ortsa

OOC:

I personally am really excited to see an Ashenmark feast, which may or may not contain cheese. And the weekend is full of fun activities that I know I will be enjoying, and hopefully the rest of yall will too! Im also really glad that Paladins Call is making its appearance here at this event, its a great cause and it makes me really happy that we can have something like it.

Any questing to be had when Ashenmark is involved has never disappointed. And that is what I am most excited for. I will look forward to seeing you all at Ashen Adventures in the next year, where we will all explore whatever new questline Ashenmark has cooked up for us.
