The Log Book Entry

[Caryl]

Greetings! Fellow Hearthlings, I have started this thread to inform you of the happenings all around Haven and Hearth! My alt, Caryl the Alt-Traveller is going on an adventure! What he's in for? Who knows, maybe he'll meet his untimely death by the hands of raiders. Better yet, maybe he'll even be bear-chow. That matters not, as long as he still lives, he will journey H&H and keep marching forward! This just in:

Caryl the Alt-Traveller's Log 1: "The Ancient Sleepers"



Caryl the Alt-Traveller's Log 2: "The Ancient Sleepers Identity and a new Hearth-ling spotted!"



As Caryl the Alt-Traveller was wandering south-wards, he stumbled upon a small settlement with a visible Hearth-ling sleeping safe and sound in his leanto. It appears he has had two visitors that came to his doorstep, one of whom is a member of the Ancient Sleeper's Community while the other is some bloke named Vulcan the Third (Vulcan III).

Caryl the Alt-Traveller's Log 3: "The Raider's Trail"

Travelling East, Caryl the Alt-Traveller has stumbled upon what seems to be a raided settlement. The ground was literally sullied by pools of dried blood, human blood it seems. Looking at it from my perspective, it appears a large battle took place here.



Caryl the Alt-Traveller's Log 4: "Hard-work! Sweat, Blood and Tears of days and months of tiresome labor reduced to ashes and bones in a mere seconds!"



Stumbling on another village, an established one. Caryl the Alt-Traveller says a few words of prayer for the fallen souls that have been preyed upon and died defending what is theirs. Their corpses, displayed in a gruelsome manner by unruly raiders leaves people wondering if there are still any trustworthy Hearth-lings roaming these lands...


Caryl the Alt-Traveller's Log 5: "The Russian Raider became the victim"



The Russian Home Owner of this tiny lot, dragged out of his home after his raid and was killed, maimed and displayed to passers-by as a warning to raiders who prey upon innocent folk. A tiny spark of hope appeared in Caryl the Alt-Traveller's eyes as he reads the message.

Caryl the Alt-Traveller's Log 6: "A Possible Ally/Enemy? Friend/Foe?"



Moving far north from the battered and raided settlements, Caryl the Alt-Traveller found a lone sleeper soundly snoring in the confines of his small leanto. Caryl the Alt-Traveller will attempt to make contact and as such will end his Logs at Day 3. Tomorrow is another day!

Too fast for me.

It makes me very happy when I see logs of this kind. Keep up with the adventure, Caryl!

However, I do feel it detracts to have all that User Interface showing. If you were to hide all that, I feel it'd carry your narration in a sort of uninterrupted way.

Never settle, Caryl the Alt-Traveler! May Jorbtar's exasperated sighs carry like a leaf in the Hearthlands.

Cool idea. I dont like adventure logs though... I dont see it going very far. Heres a neat idea, you should go a progression log. continue to the Day 1, Day 2,.. format. and show us how far/fast you go from nothing to a palisade/brickwall settlement.

-snip- and show us how far/fast you go from nothing to a palisade/brickwall settlement.

It's a Travellers log not a Settlers log ... that's what like ...

Caryl, carry on ...
