I must be brief, as I have need to tend to the piloting of the airship we have recently aquired. Our train ride from France was fairly uneventful save for the band of faux-elven bandits that attempted to commandeer our train and pilfer our belongings. Though I was badly wounded I nearly single handedly defeated both the bandits and an evil spirit who had taken posession of a dead member of the papacy. I suspect I shall be receiving more practice in the art of navigation and helmsmanship over the next few days.
