we started travelling along the coast first, and saw what looked like a huge skull traveling in the water. We were going to follow it, but it outpaced us, and we weren't sure what it was so we didn't want to go in unprepared. A little ways down the coast though, we discovered what we think it the pirate One-Eye's hideaway. We cut inland then, to seek out the Minotaur. We got attacked by the Manticore, but took it down easily enough. Next we were attacked by goblins, but those were so easy that we didn't even break a sweat.
After the goblins, we camped for the night and were visited by a mysterious little person that talked to Krol about receiving some art from the Minotaurs lair. We continued on the next morning, and came to Nash's Burrow, but there had been a maze of trees erected before it. We were in the maze when the Minotaur started knocking over trees to try and separate us. We ended up able to join back up with each other to fight the Minotaur, and took care of it relatively easily, aside from the hit I took. Dear Jamison had given me a charm before we left and I really do think it helped. I think that's the heaviest single hit I've taken in my time here, and it nearly killed me. But I think that Ilmater was watching over me in Jamison's stead. Maybe even Nash too, though we hadn't met.
Anyway, once we defeated the Minotaur, it was fine. We did get attacked by some mushrooms in the lair, but they were easily taken care of. And we met a friend! The little creature Gensik was there, and he decided to come back to town with us! We found the treasure, and gave some to the mysterious little person, but I guess we didn't give them what they specifically wanted because they attacked us! We tried to give them the rest that we had, but they said that we had broken our promise and that they wanted our blood. I don't think they can come out during the day though, because that's when we made out escape. It was fine after that, and we arrived safely back to the town.
