Well, our assault on Northwatch Keep was mostly a success. We had met up with Avulstein and his men, and he understood why we were days late. I don’t understand how he and his men managed to weather that storm out there.
We rescued Thorald, but one of Avulstein’s men was killed in the assault and Lydia was seriously injured. A sword managed to penetrate her armour, but thankfully it didn’t penetrate too deeply into her side. We’re on our way back to Dragon Bridge right now, but it’ll be a slow journey. The others have fled and I’m doing my best to treat her, but I haven’t yet learned how to use my magic to heal others. Though Dragon Bridge lacks the necessary resources to treat her, we can’t risk going to Solitude. I’m sure word of the assault on the keep will spread soon. Dragon Bridge might not even be safe for long, but there’s no way she’ll survive all the way back home. We’ve stopped for a short break, but we’ll be traveling through the night. I hope we make it before her wound becomes infected or she turns for the worse. I really need to learn how to treat wounds better. She does so much for me, I need to hold up my side of this partnership.
