9th of Malacite, 10
Today is the day I set out on my journey. To be honest, I shivering, and now because it was cold or anything, in fact it was pretty warm. I shivered because this was the first time I'd travel away from my home, the mountains. True, I was on a pilgramige to another mountainhome, but the flat plains just seemed alien.
Before setting out, I checked at the last minute if anyone felt like joining me in my adventure to 'The Watchful Rags', but only a lasher stood up. Well, at least the bogeymen wouldn't come after me.
I'm not sure why, but I felt I needed to make the world a little safer in my pilgramige, and after checking me map, I was surprised to see a cave right in my way! I guess I could slay whatever hid in those dark caverns.
As we walked, we suddenly came across a river. I looked at the map to see if we could bypass it, but no dice.
Human Lasher: Uhh, you sure this is a good idea? I'm not really a swimmer...
Orky Firebolts: Stop being such an elf! You'll do fine. The current isn't even going that fast!
*A piece of balsa wood flashes by*
Human Lasher: Whatever you say...
Diving into the water, that water was faster than I expected, but I was more or less okay, although the same couldn't be said for the lasher. He simply floundered around a bit, then drowned. Not that he would've been that useful, since this was a pilgramige for
Armok, not some tree-hugging elf god. In hindsight, I could've taken his armor, but as long as I stayed low, I wouldn't have to worry about getting hit.
After practicing my swimming for a bit, I came out of the water to see a group of rhinos. Luckily they hadn't spotted me, so I layed on the ground, aimed my bismuth bronze crossbow, and fired.

The rhinosaurus came down, and I continued to fire at the beast, but the wriggling thing was much harder to hit than I thought. Eventually I thought "F*ck it." and got out of hiding, running up to the crippled rhinosauros and slashed the beast up with my copper dagger, deciding my crossbow wouldn't be a good melee weapon.
eventually the thing bled to death, and after butchering it for it's meat I covered some more ground before becoming drowsy during the night. I lit a campfire, layed down, and went to sleep.
All in all, it wasn't all that eventful of a day, and I hope tomorrow will be more fun.
