Our four young Triplefang heroes have tasted adventure and gained some very important experience.  They've seen a strange new land and rescued a captured champion.  With the riches they gathered they have geared up and are ready for a new adventure.

The champion of Goldenpoint spoke of The Tome of Legends, a powerful artifact that can transform our heroes into living legends.  They will need to travel past the edge of the Triplefang lands to Rankor Heights, the capital of the Ferisedan and somehow convince their leader, Proctor Limon, to part with the artifact.  Luckily, he does not know what the book is, or its true power.

Meanwhile, Triplefang troops led by Rolf and Vidar Triplefang march to protect Gollag from future troglodyte raids.  Once secure the Triplefang plan to claim Gollag for their own and send craftsmen and settlers to make use to the area's natural resources.

The Ferisedan fishing village of Kammarra is a 5 day ride from Volge via the Triplefang village of Crim.  You can cover ground about twice as fast now that you are mounted.  The cart has been loaded with your extra equipment (camping should be a little more comfortable now), 40 pounds of fresh food, and two caged falcons to send short messages back to Volge if neccessary.  You are also accompanied by Moonlight and Snow's two new guard dogs.  Set out when you are ready.

Snow shows up on the day agreed upon to depart home for their next adventure.  She's feeling more competant and better equiped this time around.  It's a small comfort.  As she glances back, she knows she's already going to miss home.  The live stock, and Stupid should help ease the work around the farm for Snow's parents, but they're moving on in years, and Snow still worries for them.



She's dressed in leather armor that still feels a little stiff and in need of breaking in, and looking alot more competant since you last saw her.  She still has a good bit of stuff that she's carrying around, but most of it is in Midnight's saddle bags, or in the Cart.

Midnight lingers near by, and Snow takes the quiet moment to play with Mutt and Jeff.  A stuffed leather ball is tossed around as they play fetch with her as she waits for her cousins to show up.

Holly slips into the village with Dun and Moonlight in tow, acknowledging those she knows, and talking a while with some of the youngsters that are about. She quickly finds Snow, and welcomes her cousin with a hug, whilst wary of the dogs. She notices the Dun is a bit wary, but has to smile at Moonlight who is simply ignoring them, and checking out Midnight.

"Well met cousin. You look like you have taken your time off to put it to good use. Have you any new tricks and magic to aid us? I have been working with Dun and Moonlight, and enjoying the wilds."

The time apart has given Snow time to settle a little.  Shes dressed a little nicer, and looks a little more confident and sure about herself.

"Elana been working on me for stuff.  It was nice just to be home for a bit and help around the farm.  I've bought a few dogs... Mutt", she points to a mixed breed dog of indeterminable pedigree, "... and Jeff", She points to the other dog who's sitting and scrathing his ear at the moment.

"I left Stupid at the farm to help with seeding.  They seem pretty happy with the livestock."

Snow was always a little prissy about her appearance, continuing that trend she seems to be experimenting with her hair more these days, teasing it out and tying it up in slightly more elaborate styles.  It's definitely not something the average triplefang does, but it does look pretty on her.

"The boys drink too much and oversleep or something?  Where's Glumr?  He's the one that was chomping at the bit to be off and away to be the first to pen his name in this book.", Snow eyes the cart full of food.

"At least we wont have to rely on Glumr's hunting this time out."

In reply to Snow (msg #4):

Mord rides up to meet with Holly and Snow.  Gone is the ragged armor of nappy hides and his oversized spiked club.  Smooth metal-studded leather and vicious two-handed axe have taken their place. He is also carrying an unusual looking longbow.  Between the rigorous training and heavy feasting/drinking he has been doing, he looks a little worn out to be honest.  But, he is very upbeat and greats them both with a big smile full of joy and hearty hugs that make them both groan.

Snow gives Mord an affectionate hug, "Well met cousin you look well, i suppose we'll be kept waiting till Glumr's mum can dress him proper.", Snow laughs.  Teasing Glumr always seems to make her feel better.

"I wonder how livid he might be if we went and got the book and penned our names in with out him.  The look on his face might actually make it worthwhile."

Holly enjoys the hug from Mord, and tries not to cling on for too long. Turning away and calling out to Moonlight, she hides her face and the flush that had appeared. Finally turning back at the mention of Glumr's face at not being first in the book, she looks around to see if he has arrived late.

"It will be good to get going again. I have been given some good camping places along the way down to Crim, and good hunting grounds for Glumr, so hopefully it will be a less arduous task in getting there."

Turning back to Mord she asks, "Are you not sorry you aren't with Rolf and Vidar and the others around Gollag?"

Snow thumps Holly playfuly, "HOLLY!  If Mord doesnt come, it means we'll have to rely on Glumr to protect us... or will it be us protecting him?"

The sounds of a horse approaching fill the clearing.  A dark stranger on a white appaloosa approaches the Triplefang adventurers.

The stranger has a wide brimmed hat on which hides his face.  He is dressed in leathers and gear of dark green and brown, allowing him to blend well with the forest.  His dark cloak around his shoulders blows gently behind him.  A quiver of arrows and long bow across his back, along with the curved sword on his side show him to be an adventurer ready for the road.

A small glow and wisps of smoke trail from under the hat as he approaches.  When get gets near he dismounts, ruffling the horse's mane behind it's ears and running hand down the horses muzzle.

The stranger gets closer and lift's his hat back a bit. There's a flash of blue eyes and a grin that can only be Glumr's.

"Good to see you my friends.  I hope I didnt keep you waiting too long." Glumr says with a smile, but something about him makes him seem somber, and not quite as happy go lucky as he once was.  He smiles at Snow. "You've changed your looks cousin.  As lovely as a sunrise I might say."

Glumr has a small rolled cigar in his mouth, filling the air with it's sweet smoke.  "This is my new friend Bella" Glumr says to the group.  "She's been my closest friend in these past days"  Glumr says, not mentioning the point at which she bit him.

He has a serious look on him.  "I'm planning on an adventure to obtain the book of legends.  I feel it will be a difficult quest, but if we succeed it will bestow upon us abilities to make us legendary.  With these new gifts I plan on to rid our lands of the evil blights we have upon us.  Will you follow me?"

"OUCH!", Holly says, with a smile, and rubs her arm as if it really hurt. "You been practicing that?", she adds before laughing. "You're right of course. We couldn't do with having to babysit Glumr without Mord around as well to protect us!"

Holly for a half second thinks Glumr might be talking about his smoke, and then she realises that he has named his horse. She is almost tempted to walk up to the horse, and offer her her sympathies, but resists the urge. There will be plenty of time later.



"No disrespect, but I won't follow you Glumr. I'll happily walk besides you though, and see where being legends takes us! Hopefully being a legend will not just make us a legendary target!" With that, Holly offfers her hand on the deal.

"Someone is having dellusional dreams of grandeur.
 I think Glumr's taken up bardic acting talking and dressing like that.
 No one really talks like that Glumr, who are you trying to impress?"

Snow gives Mord a doubtful look, "I thought you two were boozing and partying together, is Glumr sober or did he suffer a head injury or something?"

The first day out is a chaotic mess.  Proud of their new status, and brimming with a sense of importance and excitement our young Triplefang heroes race off in a generally southernish direction.  There is no group cohesion and they often find themselves barely within view of each other.  Making matters worse, three inexperienced riders on new mounts badly misjudge their pace.  Glumr charges far out ahead with Mord (the only one with any real long-distance riding experience) left constantly trying to rein in his fellow travelers and Holly having to gather the cart horse that wandered off on its own during the day.  When she does, Moonlight goes into a panic.  Something is seriously wrong.  She scans all around her to find the source of her friend's agitation.  Squinting, she spots three wildcats on a nearby rise.  It's nothing to be alarmed about.  The white, tan, and grey furred wildcats are common in these areas.  It's well known that these wildcats give humans a wide birth.  Holly calms Moonlight.  They're not a threat...  right?  Meanwhile, Snow's new guard dogs get too playful with her horse and spook it.  The horse bucks Snow to the ground and runs off as Mutt and Jeff lick her and bounce around.  Stern words are issued to the canines.  Snow dusts herself off and goes after Midnight, glad that her cousins were too scattered for anyone to have seen that little situation.

The party regroups, having covered much less distance than expected on their first day out.  A good campsite is found and Snow cooks a hot evening meal.  For the moment, egos are set aside and everyone agrees that they need a plan for the next day's travel.  You are still two and a half days ride (at Mord's proper pace) from Crim.  You could reach Goldenpoint with an abrupt turn north-northeast and a long day of riding.  Glumr somberly mentions that his uncle's pastures are near your campsite.  This quiets the group for a while.  Everyone had heard whispers in Volge that something bad happen there.  Glumr's mother has been inconsolable all week.  No one quite has words for the moment.  The silence is broken by a soft tune from the floating eye that cheers everyone a bit and allows an awkward time to pass.


Do you guys want to post a watch tonight?  What's the plan for tomorrow?

"I think it best we set watch"  Glumr says to his companions as he readies the food stuffs to be put away somewhere safe where animals cant get them.  "Goblins have been terrorizing these lands"  Glumr spits in disgust from the hated goblins.  "I think it's not safe for us to be without one.   Holly and Snow, one of you take first watch and the other take last.  Mord can take the second, and I'll take third.  That way you ladies can be fresh to draw on your gifts when we need them."

Glumr takes note of everyones reactions expecting a disagreement.  Thinking none are coming, he starts to put the food stuffs away; getting lost in his thoughts about tragedy that had befallen his family's farm and the dangers in these lands.
