Editing Stranded in fantasy (section)

==Journal Entry 273==

The city has seized our horses and sent them to be processed for meat.  Just like that.  They did pay us, but it was a pittance.  At least they had the decency to give us the saddles back.  Avery was ranting about it all day.  So before we had anything else seized from us, we decided that we weren't done with the barbarian issue, so we signed up as mercenaries.  The pay looks to be pretty good and we get free rooming.  Food is another problem because of the shortages in the city.  They're already running up to Brightly to see if they can get anything shipped over.  So we're quartered with two other adventuring groups who were both trapped in the city when the siege began who had been on their way to Aeyllin at the time.  Several warriors, some spell casters, a money paladin and a cleric of the peace church.  We all got to know each other, related stories and so on.  I don't trust the paladin.  He doesn't feel untrustworthy, but I haven't had the best experiences around them.
