<Archers Vow> The Journey Continues!

[Ivory]

After the battle with the Vindicator was over... gnomey and I were still looking for adventure....luckily, so was one of the <Bregan D'Aerth>, Eadras!

This was my chance!! To finally find the strong wooden branch I had tried to find so many times before!!

So, we went out into the Wakening Lands and made our way to the holgresh caves...

I knew Eadras was a mighty archer as well...but it was still surprising to see how fast the holgreshes died to us!!

I guess luck was on our side, because after only a few holgreshes....we finally found it!!

I waved goodbye to my adventuring partners, they were too worn out to continue...but I had a mission to do.

I had found strong raptor guts before from all of my time hunting tigeraptors...and now with this strong wooden branch, I knew just the snowfang that needed them!! So I set out for the iceclad ocean again!!!

But, as I was running....a blizzard began to brew! The thing is, even for an elf blizzards can make it hard to navigate....

Time started to slip by....it had seemed like I was running a lot further than usual..... was it possible?....I.....was lost.....

I was doomed! Surely I would be lost forever!! Roaming the icey lands of the iceclad sea ....

Soon, rumors would begin to surface of an ice elf that had lost her mind....ambushing adventurers and commanding an army of snow rabbits......I had to resign myself to my fate.....

As I was dreading my future, I suddenly saw some tracks of an adventurer!!! Maybe they were less lost?! I followed them...and soon came upon a landmark I knew!! I was saved!!!!

Eventually the storm passed and I could see again, quickly finding the snowfang that needed the strong branch and raptor guts.

After giving them to him though, an enraged walrus attacked!!! I'm pretty sure I could have handled it myself...but the snowfangs were nice enough to help.

To thank me for all I had done, the snowfangs gave me a piece of a book about how to talk like a pirate. Lucky for me I was pretty sure I just so happened to know a gnome that was studying pirate talk, arrrr.

When I gave her the page, she was so excited that she was able to repair the book she had borrowed! She gave me the book to give back to another gnome....but first, I had to study some pirate too (just in case).

Gar matey, I be good at talkin like a buccaneer now! Me thanks to the bonny galley gnome!!

.....

But, the book wasn't mine....so I gave it back to the original owner in the igloo. And for thanks, they gave me a pair of fancy shackles!!!

Feeling good about having helped the gnomish pirates learn more about pirating I started to head back across the iceclad ocean.

But...as I ran....I saw a strange group of adventurers just sitting around. It was strange, I've been to the ocean a lot and never seen so many just looking at icebergs.

Apparently they were hunting some type of giant turtle.

As I looked around some more, I saw what they had done.....they had created an unholy ball to bait the turtle awake!!!!!!

Skeletons, cougars, elves, wolves, TINY BEARS, and elementals were all forced underwater to tempt the turtles appetite!!!

Tunare would never stand for this!!!!!! The skeletons and elementals were probably ok....but the rest definitely wasn't!!!!!!!!!

"Run away! Don't let them do this to you!!" I pleaded with the creatures, but they didn't move....they were brainwashed by their masters....

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oh well, I guess if I couldn't save the bait ball....I would help fight the turtle instead! So none of them were hurt!!

Offering my services as archery support, I joined one of the hunting parties....the hunt was on!!!

We didn't have to wait too long though....for soon, I saw something begin to emerge from the depths....

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It was a massive shell!! Rising up from the ocean!! Lozidazle? Lodizle? Lodi was here! And for a turtle, she was fast! And hungry!!!

Shooting arrows as quickly as I could, the battle began......the lizard monk facing off against her head to head, and he wasn't winning!

I paused my archery for a moment to heal him with my magic...but it wasn't enough.

Luckily though, the bear also knew magic and joined me in keeping him alive!

Eventually we got the situation under control and defeated her....we were victorious!!!

And, even though I had joined just to help out in the battle....the party let me get some of the turtles treasure!!!! Today was a lucky day!!! How could it possibly be any more lucky?!

With all the adventuring, I was getting pretty tired.... but the new adventurers I met in hunting the great turtle had other ideas....

They began talking about the legendary pegasus in the plains of karana. I had heard about her before, but never tried to hunt her....from what I knew, she only woke up very rarely....and even for a master ranger, finding her was difficult!

But, they talked about their special pegasus bait...my curiosity was piqued! I had to see it!!!!

And with that, we soon found ourselves in the plains of Karana....splitting the bait they had between us all. We simply had to keep it in our pockets they said....and we would be sure to find the pegasus in no time.

It seemed strange to me.....but....worth a shot I guess....

Anyhow, the plains were a nice change from the icey landscapes of velius....I had been there for so long.....

But we had a mission to do! We were hunting for a legendary pegasus!!

We separated and I began to search....when, in the distance, I thought I saw something!! It was a gnome!!!

But as I approached....I realized it wasn't a gnome at all.....it was a gnome tree instead!!!

Soon night fell as I wandered the plains looking for any signs of the pegasus. Eventually I came upon a centaur village. I hadn't met centaurs before, but it was obvious they were a great people by their dedication to archery!

Perhaps they might know something!

They said the pegasus had been seen near the camp before, but none of their archers dared attack it.

So, after spending a short time warming up by their fire....I set out again to look for the legendary creature with the pegasus bait in my pocket.

Suddenly, from nowhere, it appeared!! It was Quillmane!! The hunters bait had worked!!!!

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Between my arrows and my hunter parties strength, we quickly defeated her!

And from her feathers, the bear was able to make a beautiful cloak for me!!!

Today was the luckiest day!! From ice towers, to fighting giants, to fighting giant turtles, to hunting legendary creatures.....it would be hard to top such a day of adventuring!!!

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But who knows! I'm sure willing to try!!!!
