Talsakalthor's Journal

......I enlisted as the crew of the ship, "Spearstrike", times of glory for that vessel passed away long time ago, sails were ripped here and there and repaired poorly.
Deck boards were old and distorted in many places, but captain was enlisting for long trip, and I need long time away from Umbar, I have enough of running and hiding.
How should I know that this cheating, bed smelling and dimwited man was son of notable captain. I would just scare him if i knew, i would never provoke him to attack, but i did.
Dodging his blows i ridiculed him in front of his companions, and made him go nuts, he wanted to stab me but fistful of dust in the eyes blinded him.
Staggering he tripped and fell right on his own knife, accident to me, MURDER to his comrades. I run, but word spread fast and soon i have become a game, worth quite some coin.
It was time to set sails so i have enlisted, and didn;t pay attention that captain was enigmatic as it comes for our destination as well as to how long will reatching there and back would be....
.....few days passed, we are far into Bay of Belfalas, saling northwest to the Belegaer Sea, destination remains known only to captain, however word treasure is heard among the crew.
Captain Uhadar Sharkjaw however, looks like he never got any treasure, at least none after he got the ship, we will see, I would not say no to treasure........
.......we have come to the shores of Eriador, at Emyn Vorn peninsulaand now it gets nuts, Old man want's to sail up the river, people are restless, demand more explainations.
Captain shows us map, old yellow parchment, with some spot marked on the east bank of the river far up into land. Bringing boat up a river means only one thing, rowing. I HATE ROWING....
.......I will kill the Captain if this is not hoards of gold or gemstones, most of the crew thinks the same, rowing up the river. On the bright side, plenty of fresh food and water......
.......no more rowing, no return home, the crew gone, I'm gonna get this Captain, i should have known better, there is no treasure.
During night something entered the ship, i was at my watch, aft, while feeling of dread fell over me, Cloaked shape, strange Dwarf and very skinny "man" entered ship.
Captain was waiting for them, brought them something, idon't know what it is, but i soon as they got it they told him to leave, and he did, he run quick, to go far away, soon i was to see why.
"Ssssssons of Numenor, we need your blood, your ssssspirits, tainted, but ssssstill ssssstrong" hissed the black shape releasing deadly mist, Walhd, having watch fore, fell to the ground in agony.
I watched him die and soon on a spell cast by "skinny man" some light broke off his lifeless body hovered above it and was sucked into Dwarf, his eyes gleamed pale light.
I would have been next, but suddenly deck swayed, sail covered the view and lifted the dread for only few seconds, it was enough, i jumped overboard, i let the current carry me away.
Floating i heard screams of the crew, sharing the same fate, then saw ship burn, glow was seen far away......I will find Captain, for what he did to the crew, he will pay with own blood.
