20th of Felsite 300.
My leg has finally healed, (Out of character note: I cheated by fast traveling but made it fair by doing it back the way I came, so I've *LOST* ground. New rule: When mangled, it is to be left mangled for at least 20 days at which point I may fast travel in an undesirable direction to heal it.) My next objective is far to the west,  I think ill take a stop at the nearby goblins.  I'll test to see if they're friendly and if they're not ill need to go all the way to the dwarves to try and get a change of clothes.  Because all of mine have been destroyed or lost.  A naked man in armor I am, and a smelly one at that.  However I celebrated my new found mobility by slaying over 200 fish in some river.  Hippos were waddling for their fat lives left and right, damn that was fun.

21st of Felsite 300.
The goblins seemed friendly enough and they seem to hate elves, so we had alot in common, however they kept saying weird things like "worship torture."  This sort of talk made me uneasy so I left promptly without saying goodbye.  It's a pity I couldn't get a change of clothes off of them, it was all too small for me anyway.  Oh how I wish I could have atleast gotten my hands on a loincloth, these iron chain leggings really chafe ones. . . well. . . never mind.  At any rate, food is the worry of the day.  With only 70 odd pieces of meat I'm not sure if thats enough to travel past 5 elven cities, past the marsh through the forest, over the mountain past the haunted woods past more elven cities to get to a human town that might exist on the other side of the world?!  I'm not even sure if thats the right order or if theres an ocean in the middle anymore.  At any rate, get food: by any means necessary.

22nd of Felsite 300.
Skirting an elven village.  I reached a river around noon and started to cross its calm and shallow waters.  I tried to scale the other slope but it was too steep and the water too shallow to simply swim up to the edge.  A little irritated I start scrambling up the muddy slope only to fail over and over again.  Angry and covered in mud I took a running start at it and finally got myself onto the other edge.  Happy to be over I walk along and find another river, but this ones slope drops down to dizzying depths.  Enraged at the delay I jump, disregarding the hight.  I spin like a rag doll, as I've never had practice diving before, down into the river.  But swimming is something I AM great at, and I quickly break surface once I regain my senses.  I look at the slope on the other side, yup too high to scale.  I start swimming south.  About an hour later I reach a place I can get back onto land on the other side, hungry from the trek I eat some cow meat, or "beef" as I like to call it, and continue on.

23rd of Felsite 300.
More westward travel, I should reach this dwarf city tomorrow sometime.

24th of Felsite 300.
I searched every room, every alcove of this dwarven settlement.  How they survive without food, water, booze, clothing, extra weapons, beds or ANYTHING at all astounds me.  They must eat rocks, drink powder and sleep on gravel.  Or maybe my exploits of theft and murder have reached even these dwarfs and so they buried it all out of my sight.  Took a dwarf along with me for my amusement, however he was an overweight and slow companion which I quickly left behind.  I'll skim along the side of the mountain, but as I couldent get my hands on any food I'm forced to go all the way south to my home town just to make sure I don't starve.

25th of Felsite 300.
Stumbling about through the dense wood I passed through a clump of bushes to find myself falling into a river.  Whats next to this river?  A waterfall.  Stunned from the fall I take a 2nd and find myself being swept down stream.  Throwing my arms out wildly I grasp the opposing shore and drag my water logged body out and reprimand myself for not paying attention.  I begin to cross some low hills towards the south as a shortcut, as opposed to taking the long way around to the north west.  I didn't want to return home, but the alternative is eating beetles and worms for substinence.

26th of Felsite 300.
That shortcut was a breeze, I should of taken it the first time around.  A day and a half and I'm already on the other side.

27th of Felsite 300.
The northern side of those mountains wasn't nearly as dry as this place, the everlasting heat has dried every waterhole as far as the eye can see, fields of dead yellow grass give the illusion that the ground is on fire.  I need to watch my footing or else I'll be stuck in one of these once watery pits.  In the distance slugmen ooze about, disucsti- wait a minute.  How do slugmens come into being?  Is this dry baked desert a cursed land which turns men into slugs?  Thankfully I got out of the area and came once again into a lust forest.  No land's going to make a slug out of me.

28th of Felsite 300.
Lost sleep, had a nightmare in which I turned into a slugman.  I saw another early this morning, (I thought I was out of that cursed baked plain?)  Later on I saw a pack of gorrilas, the Elfs never told me much about the gorillas.  Maybe they were men once who are now turning into some sort of half man creature, and so they turn mentally unfit to walk and all their hair starts inching out of their body: ready to fall out once they've turned.  They also seem more aggressive.  I'll need to remember these signs of infection and kill any man unfortunate enough to have this affliction, lest he turn into a slugman and attack me when my back is turned from him.

1st of Hematite 300.
I woke up sometime in the middle of the night, and to my surprise it was still sweltering hot outside.   Later in the morning I spotted some Snailmen?!  These slugmen are getting crafty and starting to wear armor. . .  Near mid afternoon I reached the great mother river, its the collected weight of all the elven tributaries forming into this one flowing mass of water which eventually leads out into The Gaunt Gulf.  As I began to swim across it my spirits lifted, no slug would be able to cross such a river without being swept away.  Only a third of my original food supplies remain, going back home was a good idea to restock for my next objective.  North West or South East here I come!

[magikarcher]

Epic. Purely Epic.

the humorous swamp...
for some reason this doesn't bode well

[Qloos]

Laughing gas maybe?

[Qloos]

2nd of Hematite 300.
I've reached The Imperial Forest again, I wonder if even the elves here have heard of my actions up north.

3rd of Hematite 300.
Nearly at the elven village, I best rest up before I meet them.  And as I thought, there aren't any slugmen on this side of the river.

4th of Hematite 300.
In the morning darkness I arrived at the Elf Retreat of Lebeyuthawa.  At the outskirts I met an Elven Archer, who goes by the name of Quico.  After engaging her in conversation for a while, I deduced that they haven't heard of my actions this far south yet.  We walked and talked for a while and before we knew it we were out of the retreat walking south.  I guess not all Elfs are bad.  Later in the day she started talking her father being the Leader of The Full Tulip and her cousins, all 500 million of them.  Only half listening to her monolog I caught the names Alu, Alisa, Omo, Iru, Enure, Niddela, Ale, Saba, Yawo, Lafy, Etini, Cata, Ula, Cana, Lini, Alala, Mafi and Vafice.  But my bored indifference to her family ties was broken when she mentioned that 3 of her cousins had married "unknown creatures" Nithe Riverbraved?! Ameli Scaleleaf?! Étile Paddleleopard?!  Are the Elfs the cause of these loathsome halfman creatures that prowl the wilds?!  What is this "Unkown Creature" or "Creatures" which is so evil even the selfserving Elfs are too scared to speak of?  Not wanting to hear anymore of her sinful speech I turned and backhanded her with my shield with all my righteous might.

Quico Liyiyiabeco, Elf Bowman has been struck down.

I decide to take her bow, might be useful if I need to defend myself from this "unkown creature."  I just hope it doesn't live nearby.  As I sneak away I feel eyes watching me.  Someone. . . or something has witnessed me murder the Elf.


5th of Hematite 300.
Swift Travel South covering great distance from sunup to sundown, unimpeded by trees or rivers or "unknown creatures".

6th of Hematite 300.
Traveled South West to cut a path around the Gaunt Gulf and reach home. . .

7th of Hematite 300.
I've been brooding over those Elf's secret halfmen creature forces I've battled on my Journey so far.  The largest force I ever saw in one day was at the corner of the world, and while people are aware of their existence, they have no idea the Elfs are secretly pulling their strings.  When suddenly a piece in the puzzle snapped into place: the elfs are hiding their secret armies at the corners of the world where no one will look!  When they're opposed they send in their forces of evil to deal with the threat and remove all witnesses, I mean, how else could the elfs survive with only wooden weapons against a well armed and trained Goblin strike force?!  And I'm on the only witness to their atrocities!

8th of Hematite 300.
I made a decision today,  If I'm going to stop the Elfs, I need to be the best at everything, instead of just hacking apart animals with my sword I need to improve my bowman ship as well and practice my hand to hand combat and take down the last beast with my bare hands.  I admit that placing a choke hold on a horse is hard, but the end results are well worth it.

9th of Hematite 300.
I used my bow for the first time today, the weather was perfect for it, the sun was out and it wasn't too hot either.  I dropped my sword and shield as I spotted a couple of groundhogs as I pulled the string and let go.  I missed, and then I missed again.  My curse of frustration revealed my presence to the hairy little buggers and they began to run,  I followed firing another shot that missed.  My fourth finally hit and I aimed at the others.  Two arrows miss and I yell in frustration as the groundhogs go over the crest of the hill.  Running after them I abandon trying to shoot them and just beat one to death with the bow.  The last groundhog gains a large amount of distance, I calm myself down and fire another arrow.  To my great delight I got it right through the head.  I have a longway to go before I'm a great bowman, but today was a good start.

10th of Hematite 300.
Killed a whole wolf pack today, that should make the area safer for my homeland.  I should be home tomorrow.  Although its only been 2 months it feels like I haven't been home in years.

11th of Hematite 300.
I've reached my hometown of Strenghtplay around noon.  The first thing I noticed was the remains of creatures strewn about the ground.  Turtle shells and leftover chunks of meat, anything larger must of been pulverised into dust by the defenders.  Some sort of half turtlemen monster force from the Elfs must of been here to attack my own people!  I decided to head South East to rid the world the world of evil in that corner of the land.  But first I walked into a store and grabbed a better bow and a handfull of arrows as the store owner looked at me, awestruck with wide eyes.  Then I barged into the clothing store and grabbed every piece of clothing on the shelfs that the store owner hadn't thrown into the corner and cradled with his body as he cried, he being clearly a man who doesn't understand the gravity of the situation.  Lastly I stored hoards of food, which looked alot like the remains outside just more fresh. . . odd.  Maybe they butchered the remains of the attackers to stock up for food in case of a siege.  After I stocked up I left as I heard shouts of men organizing as if the town was being ransacked or raided, I hope those halfman monsters aren't attacking my hometown again. . .  They'll haft to make due without me, my duty takes me on the road South and then West, to destroy the next Elf Army of Demons.

I love the whole new part of the story, did the elves really marry chasm creatures or did you make that up?
