Using the book, tell him we are sorry and that we shall now make are leave. 

[flame99]

I apologized to him, and he simply shook his head. With that, I left. Going to the ruins Korkalkish mentioned seemed liked the logical plan, so I sought it out. It was a bit past morning, and the sun was in what was apparently the north.
While walking to the south, I came across an odd scattering of trees. Figuring it was just an unusual coincidence, I decided to keep walking. Suddenly, the ground stood up. Slowly, I realized I was standing on top of a giant turtle. The shell was about 20 feet across, with a thick layer of soil, some grass, and a few trees on top of it. Peering cautiously over the edge, I saw that the turtle stood about 5 feet off the ground, which I could probably safely jump from.

RIDE THAT TURTLE!

RIDE THAT TURTLE!

+1 but first use your sword to dig up a scale. Once we get some rope, BAM, shield.

[flame99]

I decided to try and ride the turtle. It was moving south, after all. Slowly. VERY slowly. I also tried to dig up and pry out one of it's scales. The ground on the turtle was packed hard, [18] but after working at it for a while, I managed to get to the scales. [15] After prying for a while, I managed to get a scale loose. It was heavy, and only a little smaller than me, but I suppose I could use it as a large-ish shield. As for storing the thing until I got some rope? That was a different story. I was starting to feel tired, so I considered sleeping for a while. I could probably make better time than this turtle by just walking a little faster than usual, though.

After that

Sleep on the turtle!

[flame99]

[20] I cut off a strip of my jeans, and wedged it into a small fissure in the scale. It fit snugly, and though it was far from perfect, it was serviceable. It was also still quite heavy, and I wouldn't be able to dodge or attack quite as effectively with it. With that, I decided to sleep on the turtle for a time. About what I estimated to be three hours later, I heard someone shouting.
"Turtle rider! Step down from your steed, or I will be forced to dishonorably attack you."
