Editing Rowand (section)

==My Quest for the Magical Staff==
===Chapter 1===
:My name is Rowand.  People call me Rowand the Wandering Wandsman.  I'm a magician from Lakanaba. 
:Not that I live there anymore, of course.  No, I left my town some time ago.  I serve the royal family of Zamoksva nowadays.
:These memoirs are a personal account of my hunt for a magical staff, something I've been ordered to find by the Tsar.
:In fact, this is such a personal account of my experiences that I must be careful not to let anyone from Zamoksva lay eyes upon it.
===Chapter 2===
:I am Rowand the Wandering Wandsman.  By the Tsar of Zamoksva's orders I'm traveling the world in search of a magical staff.
:You may well ask why I'm doing such a thing.  The short answer is that it seems to be a favourite hobby of the Tsar's.
:I don't mean to bad mouth him of course.  I just can't help worrying that a leader is so absorbed in such frivolity, peacetime or not.
:But it isn't my place to question him.  Duty is duty, and now I must travel west of my hometown to follow up a possible lead.
:It's been a fruitless search so far.  I can only hope that this time I'll find the magical staff I've been charged with locating.
===Chapter 3===
:I am Rowand the Wandering Wandsman.  I now find myself in a town rumoured to have links to the magical staff I'm searching for.
:I asked around the moment I arrived to see if the townsfolk knew where I could find it.  Unfortunately my journey isn't over yet.
:It seems that the object of my quest isn't here in town after all.  No, apparently it's hidden in a cave nearby.
:I ask you!  Whatever is the world coming to?  Whyever do people insist on hiding such precious things in caves of all places!?
:Now I'm in a real fix.    There's nothing I loathe and detest more than caves, and that's a fact.
===Chapter 4===
:I am Rowand the Wandering Wandsman.
:I'm not happy about it in the slightest, but work is work and so I must venture to that cave.
:It seems that, in order to find the magical staff, I must locate the treasure chest in the deepest part of the cave and examine the bottom of it.
:Of all of the places! The deepest part of the cave, I ask you.  Somebody up there must really hate me.
:Oh dear.  I'm getting quite agitated by the whole thing.  Once I find this magical staff, I think it might be time for a career change.
:Maybe I'll go back to my hometown and use what little savings I have to start some kind of business.
:It's about time I did what I wanted for a change.
===Chapter 5===
:After all that, I didn't manage to find the magical staff.  I did find a hidden staircase and a treasure chest in the cave, mind you.
:But the chest was on the other side of some bars.  It was right before my eyes, and yet impossible to reach.
:I've not choice but to give up on that chest now, and set off again in search of a different magical staff.
:I wonder if I'll ever be able to give up this job and do something else.  What I'd give for a bowl of my old ma's stew.
:I am Rowand the Wandering Wandsman.  By the Tsar of Zamoksva's orders, I'm traveling the world in search of a magical staff.
