Save the Children

Ah ken they arenae guid per say but they aint evil either. Ah hink it was lucky 'at thaur hud bin anither worshipper ay nature wi' th' crew sent tae hunt th' basilisk causin' trooble in th' wilds, otherwise Ah wooldna hae hud thes opportunity. Ah agreed 'at they need tae gonnae-no th' caravaners frae turnin' tae staine afair they gart it back but i’m glad 'at when they foond th' clutch ay eggs they left it be. we got a boorichie ay others an' myself tae corral th' wee buggers intae a modified wagon an' i’d bin lucky tae fin' a boar 'at they hud turned tae gezz somethin' tae feed them. But noo they cooldnae bide thes way, sae Ah got permission tae tak' them it tae th' dreid marshes an' release them thaur whaur if they biddin they wooldna be able tae harm anythin' livin'.
 
As Ah realise thes woods soond a bit unorthodox ay a method tae most Ah gaithered puckle friends 'at i’d bin able tae troost till noo, Smitty, Dwufe, an' Timn.
 
The nicht afair we waur tae sit it th' camp was attacked by owlbears. Nae jist onie owlbear thocht, owlbears gart ay stitched flesh pieced together an' sittin' somewhaur atween bein' deid an' alife. it waur a gantin' mockery ay th' sad creatures an' an affront th' ambrelune it was. thaur was a knecht fightin' them aff callin' fur fire an' sae fire Ah gae heem. We burned those beasts it an' they went runnin'. Th' knecht thanked us fur th' help but 'en gart a big shaw ay greetin' abit uir toon, hoo it weren’t built an' fortified enaw fur his tastes. Weel he didna bide haur did he? Weel since we waur gonnae 'at way either way we said we’d chase th' owlbears doon an' fin' his missin' cultist ur whatever he was gonnae oan abit it. 'En he gart a big shaw ay stickin' his beak intae everythin' aw nicht an' finally went tae sleep efter he complained some mair abit hoo we shoods nae be affordin oorselves th' luxury ay a brain new breakfest afair uir joorney.
 
We sit aff headin' towards th' marshes an' findin' traces ay th' owlbears an' followin' them doon th' way. When we gie tae th' entrance tae th' marsh we swatch fur a braw spot tae lit th' wee ones gang an' make sure they ur alrecht afair we decide 'at we willnae be able tae keep th' wagon in th' swamp much longer sae tak' it back it an' by th' time we ur back intae th' swamp it waur tay mirk tae follaw onie mair leids frae th' owlbears sae we fin' a rock, sae we arenae sittin' in th' mud, an' bunker doon fur th' nicht.
 
Timn is fidgety th' whole time, puir cheil, greetin' 'at we shooldna hae camped in th' swamp, but he dornt gie tae greit fur lang since Ah hear a fightin' in th' distance, an' since neither me nur fluffy can gie a bearin' oan it, Ah roose lae an' we gang aff tae engage, as Ah mostly certain 'at uir cultist has gotten himself in a tiff 'at we coods tak' advantage ay. We cam upon th' cheil fightin' against th' undeid 'at bide in th' marsh sae we hopped intae th' barnie tae gie heem.
 
Naw reit abit noo, Ah feel loch Ah need tae mention somethin' 'at Ah forgot earlier. ye see Smitty hud taken a visit ower tae th' quine ay th' loch an' gotten a boon frae 'er afair we left. A boon 'at gart heem invisible until he next waur tae lat at somethin', an' thes hud bin rightful annoyin' as we cooldnt see heem th' whole donner it haur but noo, he sloshed his way forward ignorin' th' owlbears an' th' undeid an' stalkin' reit up tae th' cultist. As we engaged wi' th' owlbears he took a mighty swin' an', catchin' 'at necromancer completely aff guard, took heem doon in a body mighty swin'. Ah woolda laughed if Ah was nah sae preoccupied wi' settin' th' monsters ablaze at th' time. but wi' their controller deid we finished up lae an' picked up th' body an' sloshed it ay thaur back tae toon.
