Tired, hungry and battered, I make it to Ralevost. As I climb the hill... I see dwarves. I see dwarves! Dwarves!
My people! I have come home!
At last, at last, at long long last...
I have made it to Ralevost! I have only the last hint of food left, thank Armok I made it here!
Thank you for being a great god, Armok! Truly, you saw that we were going to make more blood than our death would! At last!
I shall settle myself in a small burrow. We catch what we can. I must tell you dwarves of my journey first. Melkor, Nish, Orky...
I cannot bear the full story, I am so hungry and tired so I may just tell you my times.
My first companion, Dof Visionbuttered came with me out of Praisebasins to the north. He drowned in the river that followed... He had a wife and six children. Though I admired his tenacity, he should not have followed me.
My second, after arriving at Touchwaved; Kado Cradlerise followed me almost to Necronights before I lost sight of him; thereafter I heard no more of him.
I presume he's still out there somewhere.
Puja and Rakel, my third and fourth, from Fistbristled, were struck down by Smohomli, Distrusthowl, a rhino, and Imigistri, Rumourwarned, an alligator. Tis a great pity, but they had no family so their deaths are not so bad as Dof's.
I myself did not make a name for myself. The name of Lord Reudh Strangerdanger is a dangerous one. I merely slaughtered those who attacked me; carefully to avoid injury.
I did get lightly injured on the way. An alligator manage to break one of my ears; later, a mole smashed one of my toes. I should be alright; I can still walk.
What did I kill? I shall list them.
Two tiercel peregrines in Apap Iman, the Hill of Workers
Four cavy sows in Apap Iman
Two cavy boars in Apap Iman
One Armadillo boar in Apap Iman
Six
BOGEYMEN OF APAP IMANThree wild boars in Apap Iman
One warthog in Apap Iman
One impala in Apap Iman
One black mamba in Apap Iman - Their meat is delicious, especially the brain!
One giant mole from the depths of the world in Glistenechoed the Walled Nettle
One raven in Apap Iman
One alligator that fell to my hydrokinesis in Apap Iman
One crab in Apap Iman, and four in the First Steppes. One more in the ocean, the Ferocious Waters. Their flesh was delightful. I did not get to cook it.
A Gorlak! What strange creature! I found it prodding my fire in Flierumbra the Ambiguous Intricacy. It was very resilient, but fell to my fist.
I killed another black mamba in the Murk of Murdering, the jungle lands near the elves and near to where we are now.
I managed to fight off an anaconda with only bruising in the Murk of Murdering.
I killed two Troglodytes who tried to kill me in Yearechoes, and one as he fled.
I even managed to defeat a GIANT ANACONDA! Oh heart stopping moment, they are dangerous creatures!
A giant tick too. Those mouthparts are lightning quick, but their head is weak. I stabbed it and took its brains, kidneys and lungs. They sustained me here.
Would you like to see my hydrokinesis? It came to me when I was surrounded by bogeyman. A voice that described itself --- it sounded like it said both "
UBIQ..." and "
DOSHEB..." at once, but that is not possible- it told me to drop my water on the ground and I could then generate it in my hands. The tipping point was when I killed one with mere water! Ha!
And so Lord Reudh II Strangerdanger the Raven of Evil, or Lord Reudh II Rakaskezat Toltot Gedor sat down happily with his own kind to a warm meal, the first he had had in weeks. Life was looking good.
Save's hereIt was a tough road, but I made it! Have fun, whoever's next!
