Ha! I got the quill!

by The blue rider Nakor

Today began great! I once again looked at the big feathery things that charged us during the night. Big metal lady called them owlbears. I have never seen one before so this was very interesting. I will remember to not charge one head on like angry cow man did. He is funny, but I fear, not very intelligent. To bad the did not have wings, could have been fun to see them fly.
 
After having convinced the others to keep walking by walking out of the camp so they felt the needed to keep up to protect me (fools, the blue rider needs no protection but I will let them think themselves powerful) we chanced upon a dead man laying by the side of the road. He had paper and quill which is very good since i left mine in the inn when we began this journey. Big friend headsmasher will never suspect me of "borrowing" it from time to time. This makes me very happy since i now can write down what the fools are doing.
 
Having the need to cross a river guarded by an angry troll obsessed with riddles who for some unknown reason did not want to play dice (who does not want to play dice???), I was able to convince him that whatever we answered was correct. The faces the others made when he accepted oranges as an answer was worth dying for, something we luckily did not have to since the troll admitted defeat and let us cross the river, on our own accord, since he smashed the bridge. Now a tame flying owlbear would have been very usefull, if only the stupid things were more owl than bear... Must say this was a very clever and funny troll. I must return with a cow some day, to see what he does with it.
 
Later we actually found the big smelly thing we are after. Angry cow man proceded to go to sleep as as we did. Very odd creature indeed, he does not sleep like his kin. I must try to find out what sort of grass hea eats. Regardless me and big metal lady stayed up to plan our attack. She wants to use tactics. Blah!!! What plan one has is useless once fighting starts. I say just go in and throw some fire at them! Much more fun! She also tried to convince me that i had shrunk, what a silly woman.
