5 November 2010: Exploration

kain, a cleric, was sent by his cloister to bring Christianus Smith back in line with the teaching of his church.gulint joined group to help give them some organization. we travel on a trail leading away from yoker. see mountains along the same path as the trail.the trail stops. foggy. go down a hill. we see something in the mist. approach. it is tree. we see some glowing red light in the distance. we see what looks like the remains of a dinosaur body. all the organs on the inside have been taken out, and there are sticks inside, holding it up. we find dragging marks in the ground. we follow. we find a 4 ft tuber in the ground. gulint‘s boar bites it and some liquid spurts out. we find the body of a small truadon inside. it was almost completely digested by the plant. the tuber is a cactus like plant, and is covering this area. we take the skin of the dinosaur and the sticks. the sun is setting and the fog is beginning to lift. we continue to follow the tracks. after 5 miles we reach a river. there is a flash flood. kain gets swept downstream. we rescue him and set up camp. use the dinosaur skin and the sticks as a tent. during the night we notice small furry creatures that are eating and licking the cactus tuber plants. Christianus Smith plays his fiddle and they stop eating the plants. he approaches one and it growls and they all run away. later we find a skank, type of lizard, eating one of the furry creatures. huginn attacks it, and it bites off his hand. some more skanks come out and they attack and we kill them. we cook one. we follow the tracks and go down stream. the sun rises. after 5 miles we see a valley covered in truadon huts. looks like it could house 200,000 truadon. when we approach, the children run away. we talk to them and say we are explorers. their scout had seen us and they want us to help against their enemies the bat men. we don’t agree to help them, but we do trade and show them how to make catapults and ballistae. we trade for some of the gold nuggets and the obsidian rocks. we load our wagons and return to yoker. wwe have idea to make a wagon covered in the obsidian glass with ballitae. go to authorities and they request the construction of 4 in the city. it will take 6 months. the first one is done in 3 weeks. call it angry turtle. teach local artisans how to make, so they can do it for city.
