A friend?

Hey everyone.

So few new things. One a friend... Hopefully. Not exactly ready to stop being wary, but we engaged in a bit of heroics and got a new traveling companion out of it. A group of servants. Puppets specifically were hounding some girl. Lisa and I stepped in. Neither of us are killers and I'm not much of a fighter and up until then I didn't believe Lisa was, but it seems one other thing she forgot is that she knew how to fight.

There had only been two puppets and they move kind of stiffly... I'm guessing they weren't willing. So anyway Lisa managed to hold them off, unable to actually put them down obviously since they could continue moving even if unconscious. While she did that I rescued the girl and ran off with her to hide. After seeing that we had made it away Lisa fled the fight and we met up later.

The girl's name is Sally Foret. She's a musician apparently. Plays a really unusual instrument as well. A didgeridoo... Yeah kind of unusual, but pretty cool. She has it in a case that she carries on her back. Apparently the puppets tried to steal it from her. She seems a bit shaken by her encounter with the puppets and so we're letting her accompany us for a bit.

Lisa confirmed she's not a Fear. She seems to be a runner actually as she knew the things that attacked her were puppets. She won't say what Fear she's running from though she confirmed that until today she hadn't really gotten into a fight with puppets before and so it seems she's not running from The Wooden Girl. Most likely The Puppets are just here for us and for some reason Sally just attracted their interest for some reason.

I bet that Spider girl was watching the whole thing. After her last plan failed she probably set that up just to see what we'd do. I'm willing to bet we'll run into her again soon enough. I bet she was what that dream was referring to.

Anyway so after that Lisa and I, with Sally managed to get to the city where Muffin and the others were waiting. Muffin met us in a house he appears to have... acquired through likely dubious means and told us that he has it on good authority that The Man In Grey will be showing up in this town soon and that this might be my one chance to meet him and find out what he wants from me.
