Forest Temple

by Tika

Are we really still in a tree? How exactly is this possible?! W-Well anyways! We kept continuing on through the temple. Lots of long hallways, and I really hate this. Being indoors for so long is almost suffocating! There is no way to spread my wings or fly. Not a good feeling.
 
Down one hall we ended up finding this reel with a weird puzzle. Rock slabs that we had to slide around to get a... key stone(?) through. You'd think Dargo would be best for moving the slabs but NOPE. He seems to have trouble telling left from right so Rava pushed while Mavar, Zed, and I gave directions. The puzzle turned out to be pretty easy with us working together.
 
Dargo... seems to take things too literally. Is it legit? Is he bluffing? CAN he bluff? I don't know. But when he asked which way to go Mavar made some joke about 'Go the right way, cause the other would be wrong' and now Dargo keeps going right! You know... when he remembers which way is right. Wow.
 
Of course there were more rooms with more monsters, and more weird chests that appeared only after all the monsters were killed. Oh-OH! But! One chest Zed opened had an AWESOME bow! It's so well crafted and beautiful! It can't shoot very small, but it can hold THREE arrows at once! How amazing is that right?! Zed traded it to me for one of my feathers, and he better NOT use it for anything weird! If he does I'm gonna shoot him and he knows it. But seriously, why a feather? I won't worry about that too much right now, I HAVE A NEW BOW!!
 
Apparently Zed has some history with an asshole pot and he now holds a grudge towards all pottery cause the guy LOVES to break them. Him and Rava got into some kinda disagreement cause he was breaking pots. I don't know what happened next cause Mavar wandered off and I kinda followed him? The guy is weird, but he seems to have a bit of a prankster side? It's kinda fun actually. Even though the temple is dangerous, and most things suck, he kinda... makes it more enjoyable? I actually miss having tiny moments of fun like that.
 
So anyways, we all meet back up in this huge room, and the doors closed behind us and locked! Because OF COURSE we now have to deal with rooms and locking doors. More monsters show up that we have to fight, and at one point Dargo took a lit bomb and hit it across the room blowing up a deku scrub right near me. WHAT KINDA CRAZY GUY HITS A BOMB WITH A HAMMER ACORSS A ROOM?!
 
After the room we encountered a poe in the halls, and I thought we'd have to fight it too. But um... Mavar can speak to ghosts? Like is sounds really creepy and unsettling? Also, everyone didn't trust ME when I spoke to a deku, BUT MAVAR SPEAKS TO GHOSTS?! But he did make friends with that ghost, and the ghosts sibling showed up and fought us. Oh, by the way Mavar likes eating souls. Yeah that's a thing. Yeah remember when everyone distrusted ME?! What the heck?!
 
Once we get over the whole soul eating we find this SUPER BIG room! Like the ceiling was 40 feet up or something like that, and there was a giant tree. A tree growing inside a tree I guess? Everything is weird now I'm starting to feel like I shouldn't question it more. This super giant moth monster then showed up and we all had to fight it. I got to test out my new bow and I could actually fly finally! Felt so much better being able to fight in the air.
 
Together we all take down the moth creature and a new room unlocks. Inside it we find a SWORD... hilt. Yeah just the hilt. And the scabbard. But no blade. So, so useful I know. Mavar and Zed fought over it and now Mavar has a scabbard with no sword, and Zed had a hilt with no blade. So worth the fight.
 
As we're checking out other rooms we encounter these weird blob monsters? They hit really hard and when you hit them they just split in half?! WHY?! Anyways there were a lot, and once we beat them Dargo found a chest that had FIRE ARROWS! I know right?! Super expensive fire arrows in this place that were free! Dargo thought about throwing an arrow for the magic but... that really doesn't work. So he gave me the arrows! How awesome is that!
 
He also called me brother? Yeah it was weird. Tried to explain I wasn't a guy but he just went on about how everyone's a brother. Maybe it's a goron thing? I don't know. Weird but it doesn't bother me I guess?
 
We then left through a pair of giant golden doors and finally left the temple. That was a crazy day.
 

People I Know


Dargo: Still find him kinda dumb, but he has no problem leading the way through possibly dangerous hallways so I guess he's alright. I think we need to teach him how to tell left from right though. Oh, and a lesson or two on how to recognize sarcasm.
 
Mavar: WEIRD! Weird and creepy and seriously the guy talks to ghosts and eats souls! And he thought I was distrustful?! ... But I guess he has his fun moments? Kinda flip flops a lot between depressive, creepy, and a joker.
 
Zedryn: Seems to hate pots with a burning passion. We'll have to keep a close eye on him if we ever go into a town. He'll probably try to break everything. Likes rushing to open every chest too.
 
Rava: Still seems... normal I guess? She's nice, useful in fights. But she's just... nice? Nice is weird now a days. I don't know, what if she's hiding stuff?
