As we return to the bar, I decide to talk with my childhood friend for a bit.
DocBok
I am Bok, a British-born expat living in China. I was born in Lancashire but identify as a 'plassie-Scouser'. I spent my youth growing up in Cumbria. Here I developed a great taste for exploration, climbing mountains and camping in the wilderness - a taste for travel that has defined my life.

We climb the stairs to the Inn, but our way is blocked by a robed man wielding a quarterstaff.
Travellers Tales

As we continue along the road I decide to try and get to know our new companions.
Leaving the Keep
2 Mirtul 1368
It is time. I go to see my father at the Central Keep. He carries little with him for the journey – just his quarterstaff and a pack with some food.
Inner Grounds

As I enter the Inner Grounds I’m approached by Imoen. She’s an errand girl at the Keep, and a ward of Winthrop.
Errand Boy

I head towards the main gate to find Fuller and ask about Dreppin’s antidote. On my way I bump into Jondalar, a combat trainer here in the Keep.
Familiar Faces

I have been meaning to summon a familiar for some time now. It feels right to do it now. One more thing to prepare for father’s journey.
Banging Roasties
Roasting potatoes is one of my favourite ways to cook them. Crispy and soft at the same time, lots of flavour and filling. They seem like they should be hard to cook, but they are actually ridiculously easy.
Banging “Shepherd’s” Pie
Okay, we’re not actually going to make shepherd’s pie today. I’m in lockdown and running out of veggies so I’m gonna make do with what I’ve got. However, we can still focus on how to do the potato part.
Socialising at Winthrop’s
2 Mirtul 1368
Today is an unusual day. My father has uncharacteristically interrupted my chores. He told me I needed to prepare for a journey: we are leaving Candlekeep. I have mixed feelings about this.
On the one hand I have never seen outside these walls.
