Log
Paper logs are stupid, real logs are better. They're making me write this.
"Captain" Cutter Black showed up late, met with us and started telling us to buy all this city stuff. Store-bought rations, man-made tents, a bunch of things for "safety" or "Just in case". Stupid.
Travel to the camp area was easy, but there was no camp spot. Techie girl saw some water mist and thought it was weird, but I thought it was pretty easy to see the fey inside. Nothing weird about seeing fey in a forest.
We went up to a cave, choosing to make that our bed place because none of the trees were tall enough, or maybe they just weren't used to sleeping in them. Either way, techie girl was a pretty good sneaky person, (Not as good as Breeki of course) sneaking past the angry badgers and grabbing some mushrooms. There was also a big purple crystal inside. We killed the badgers after that, and took the cave for ourselves.
We did a bunch of forest stuff, including getting the food ready and setting up those tents. I didn't sleep in a stupid tent, I did lick some rocks and found salt for the food though.
"Captain" Cutter Black told us about "proper" waking-people-up procedure, and then we did shifts of watch. Normal stuff, me and my brothers are really good at it so nothing was going to go wrong. Boophis saw a really good mushroom that night, but he waited until the morning to go get it.
"Captain" Cutter Black made us walk 14 hours. Boophis usually stays home, he wasn't used to lots of running like me and Mantella. Then he makes us switch around duties, then yells at me and my brothers for talking! We can go to bed when we want to!
Oh and we all got some of our silver stolen during the night, and "Captain" Cutter Black made gnoll lady and me wake everyone up so we could go find it! We had to go out to the lake and find some house dragons and fairy dragons, which said they'd show us where a dead person was if we gave up all our silver. City money is worthless metal anyway, so we gave it all away and the fairy dragon showed us to a tree with a Slurk in it. A big toad with tusks, for you people who haven't been outside before.
Killing the Slurk, I dug around inside it and found the body, as well as more of that city gold and some healing potions. I'm not a fan of either, but money is the only language city folk understand. Nobody speaks Druidic, that's for sure.
Then the rest of the trip went well. We did some foraging, which obviously I was the best at, but nothing else fun happened the whole week. This was stupid, but you city people probably need it.
