After my battles with Wuoshi, I stayed in the Wakening Lands hunting tigeraptors outside of the Dragons city.
That was, until an Iksar shaman showed up looking for adventure.
This was my chance! To try and hunt holgreshes! And maybe get a strong wooden branch! (It is surprisingly hard to find strong wooden branches in a forest!)
So, we set out together to find the home of the holgreshes.
I had seen an area where they wandered around....it seemed like a good place to start.
And, sure enough, after some searching we found a cave nearby...

Of course, being a ranger, it was my job to go scout ahead. I could see their tracks everywhere, this was definitely the spot. Though, I was prepared for what I discovered inside....
They had an army!!

Me and the shaman decided the best way to stop them was to kill their general.....and the shaman knew how to lure him out alone.

It was a hard fight! But we were victorious!
After that, we kept hunting the lower ranking holgreshes....but....somehow none of them had strong wooden branches. Though, I did find a lot of their mojo sticks, which seemed pretty useful.
The only problem was after all of the hunting I was running low on arrows. So I waved goodbye to Pooma and I set out back to Thurgadin to restock.
But as I got near the great divide....I could sense something was wrong....there were giant tracks everywhere!!!
It seems with me gone from Thurgadin for so long, the giants decided to launch another attack on the dwarves!!! Was I too late?!
No! The fight was still going on! In fact, I could hear shouting as the giants greatest fighter was preparing to attack the <Awakened> defenders! I had to help them!!

Running as fast as I could, I got there just before the giants fighter showed up....shooting almost the rest of my arrows, we were victorious! The dwarf city was saved!!!!

Afterwards there was celebration and the greatest defender in the battle, an ogre named Spongee, was even rewarded with fancy dwarf treasure.

Happy the dwarves were saved this time, I went inside to restock for more adventure. As I was doing that and talking with some of the <Awakened> I started to hear rumors about a strange bow....
They said it was a "bow" you could even fight with up close....a weapon whose power could only be fully realized in the hands on an archer....I had never heard of something like that!! I had to have it!!!!
So they told me if I wanted one, I just had to gather a few things. How hard could that be?........it looked like it was time for another adventure!
