20210911 The Loose Ends

Around the Freecity of Aquitaine, a hurricane rained for days and days. Yes, an inland hurricane most unnatural. Someone is interfering with the weather. This must not be. Sherriff Balor provided a paddy wagon and another horse-drawn cart to help re...

Now Ranchers and Farmers notoriously argue about the proper uses of land and fences... and of course water. Nyads typically have something to say about the latter too. Without a strong King on the throne to make people stick to decisions on the aforeme...

We found a collection of receipts inside the old classic "scry-proof box". Miss Melinda Nakamori and ... Oh, and somebody had gathered a "sympathetic magic collection" of nearly everybody in town. And somebody else wants it, badly. An alchemist coul...

She's like a Naiad, a Treant, a Dryad, and a Goddess all rolled up into one!...

Where to begin?...

Jesse was raised by an elderly alchemist in Ath Katla, Amn. From his earliest memories, he quaffed potions and practiced exercises and nutritional diets to make him grow up big and strong, knowledge of which came from an ancient book his alleged father sa...

The Agoseris Ranch was absorbed into the Whippetal Ranch some years ago apparently. Whatever evil showered upon Whippetal thouroughly drenched Agoseris. But we didn't realize that until after we had thrown open the barn door. And then it was too late t...

Dagnabbit hauled the beerwagon as fast as he could with 27 people loaded into it. The legions of hell-bovines behind us developed their charge into a full stampede, with only animal fury, with only one goal - to stomp us flat. It began to appear that ...

Scaevola Aemula and I got together again, and Wrong Way too. Glad to see him. I hardly got any time to talk about her to him, nor him to her for that matter. There's no time; this situation has been growing (or rotting) for so long that we need some s...

Well, we busted our way out of the trap holding Miss Melinda the Pliskey Alchemist. And I managed to hang onto the Alchemical Apparatus she had built, so I expect I will see her again when she wants it back. That's just about the only thing I managed ...

Best day of being heavily cursed ever! Everybody insisted that I get holy beeswax in my ears and get my hands tied in case I wig out from SA's old bindey cursey thingy. Wrong Way is as reliable as ever. I know he's worried about me, but I haven't ...

We were surrounded by three score of BriarSeed Children. I figured the BriarSeed Children came here to gather water for the nursery off to the east. They did not do that. I roused them with my enthusiasm, that they could do the thankless task joyfu...

So I was trying to get the deed to Sasparilla Ranch and get Princess to sign it over to me like Master Farvald Kerner wanted. It was like the first thing he ever asked of me, and that project hasn't made any progress yet, like none. I just... I lead a b...

War and Peace...

Now we just need to undo the HellCows and prevent it from ever happening again. That's all. We haven't uncovered the whole truth, but we got two half-truths. Now we just need to add them together. First off, Topiary Rex does not do what you tell h...

Two nights in a row of good sleep is a record. I should write that down in my journal. I can't remember when was the last time I got that. Tonight is not looking that great, stuck in an alchemist's magical hut that apparently can move if you turn the w...

We all had different ideas of what to do to prepare ourselves for the final fight. There will still be many injuries to heal and many loose ends to tie afterward, and animals and plants that will die if left unable to take care of themselves, and a ver...

So I left my magical Boots of the Catfall and my nice western hat back on the ground closer to the magical portal. It's not like I can't live without clothing, just that I should remember where I left them. ...

So, I asked Mother Nature to grow all the plants in the area into one huge thicket (with clear spots only where the non-flying members of the SNAFU Posse needed to go, of course). It worked! With a Bonus! I hadn't thought about Bruthazmus carrying t...

Ok, so Methurgh, the demon prince of the hell cows, or whatever title he gets, was down. One hell-sheep was defending his unconscious body, which by "defending" I mean attacking anybody who came by. I called my Oatman Crawler friends (large poisonous sc...

Where was I? Lee Chung had the boss thing in the bottle and the wax was solid and holding. Remember the Hell-Woolie I bolted with Brother Lightning? He was still in a fighting mood. Long story short, I know, too late, Lee Chung, Wrong Way, three Oat...

Now it's all the downhill slide, I'm certain. Just tying up the loose ends now that the head of the Demonic forces is stuck permanently in a genie bottle and MFK is somewhere banishing his evil forces from the ranch forever. Hopefully his ritual works f...

Well, I didn't make quick work of the remnants. And we didn't all live happily ever after... ...yet. But it does feel good to be a Dagnabbit. What is a Dagnabbit? Some kind of megafauna beast of burden that the Orcish tribes ...

Again, head down, horns out, charge, a little to the left of Bruthasmus this time. (That last time was sad when I hit all my teammates accidentally.) Wrong Way says I should maybe run curves around instead of charging through the middle of the dogpile w...

Ok, so, remember I had used the skills I learned at the Druidic Gathering last year to transform my shape into that of a large beast, my recent friend, Dagnabbit. He's like, something like a wooly rhinoceros, so I was BIG at this point. Well I smelled...

I said we'd make short work of all those demons possessing the cows, and I was... exaggerating a little. Eventually, we, the SNAFU Posse got the job done to make the world safer for Ranchers and Farmers alike. And both of them took a massive beating f...

I looked all over but couldn't find Master Farvald Kerner's little seed. He always leaves one behind when he dies. I sent a few messages to Bruthasmus in case he found it. (He found it last time.) Miro had the idea to plant the seed in holy ground and...
