"Alfred the Halfling" by Stephanie Morris

(October 1st 2007) Drawn on my first day of work in a friends shop, while I was alone that morning.

We encountered Alfred first I remember on an mission that involved us (and by us I mean 'we' adventurers, The Church of Hathor, Raviel...Nathaniel, Evander and others). It involved a group of us using a magical compass to locate a place of power for a member of the explorers guild.

Just a standard issue mission that turned out so very different from what we expected. We located this place that appeared to be an island, surrounded by a river, a river we dubbed the river 'styx' it was filled of not water but horrible bodys and wailing souls. None of us but a few would cross the thing. Alfred and a number of us remained behind and held the far bank of the river and waited for the others to return. We got to know the little fellow quite well after that....

Afterwards Alfred was invited back with us home to the Church of Hathors small shrine, to tend the cops of woods close by.he accepted. And well the rest is history...
