A New Adventure

Met some new friends! There are many of them, and more are being made each day. Went on an adventure beyond the town with some of them. It was Captain Oryx, Ciddium, Apollo, Krol, and Jonah. About half-a-days walk outside of town, we were attacked by colorful flying snakes. Cid was the only one hurt, but he survived. Next Captain, Cid, Apollo, and Jonah were attacked by tiny tree people. I shot one and the others dispatched the rest. Krol spotted a cave, but we didn't explore it. We camped for the night, and I cooked a snake with some berries that Krol found. He got sick later, but I felt fine? When we finally got to the lake, it was saltwater. The Captain dove right in, but I don't trust it. How can there be a salt water lake in the middle of land? The lake was beautiful though, unnaturally beautiful. I've never seen a lake like this in my homeland. The water was so blue, and the beach was made of colorful rocks. I don't trust it, but there's good salt. Jonah found a small fresh-water pond, but there were giant fish in it. We killed one, but as I was dragging it out of the pond, another attacked. It swallowed me, but let go and I swam for the surface. Cid stuck his quarterstaff into the water and lifted me out. The fish stopped attacking, and we got the other one out of the pond. There was so much fish to eat. I took as much as I could to bring back to Last Hope. In the night, someone had slashed our water skins, but we continued on anyway. We met a crazy old man, and Apollo and Captain gave him their water. I didn't trust him. I've heard tales of Fae that disguise themselves and try to steal your name and control you. Only Apollo gave his name. We didn't get attacked again, but when I was on watch a tiny injured man came to our camp. I didn't like him. He made demands after we helped him. Captain insisted he pay us for our trouble and I agreed, but the others didn't. When I carried the tiny man back to town, he kicked at me like a little lamb. If he wasn't so annoying, I would think it was cute. He paid when we got back to town, and so the adventure ended.
