GRASSLANDS
almost 30 Minutes Pass. Mize gets up and takes the near empty water bag off his pony. shaking it out and hooking it on the thin sadly to dry.
..Time we get Moving , Captain. you do not want to be in the grasses, at night... too easy to find snakes...
Kree laughed,..My friend... we travel the realms?.... walking through the grassland snakes , is of bo threat to us.
Mize Mounted up, and he gave Kree a stern smile,... You do not know....even as short ago...as 5 years? grasslands snakes only caused a bit of fever..perhaps slow you down, make you clumsy for a day or two.... But The Sandfolk bastards, do not check cargo as they should. The poison filled adders and such, slipped into the crasslands..finding it a feast, with thier poisons, to find easy meals.. from vilage rats , cats and dogs.. to the rodents of the fields.... they grow in size, and..some have mated with the Grassland constrictors. Another 5 years they have reached Tou... and begin to enter the Trace and Black Timber... Any such snake you kill, if you bring the body to a sage or Potion maker? they will pay you a silver or two... if you get a poison bearing Constrictor, they will give you a gold... we have weekly hunts, in my village, to kill they sand snakes.. we wrap them in Bundles and take them to Tou or the Trace Wood.... The trace Elves are now making poisoned arrows to fight the Flood of dark folk.. perhaps you will, as well?
..we have used poison in the past, when the crown would send us on an Assassination have not used it against plain folks yet..
..might be somehting to keep in mind, if you travel the Sands... the Sand Fols pop up in numbers.. any way to thin the herd should be used.
