The Snagglewood
Posted on January 17, 2000 in UncategorizedDay 171, Year 536 of the Ascendancy
There hadn’t been anything newsworthy since the “Zoo Incident”(recounted in detail on Shrug’s Scrolls),
so I spent the last several weeks mostly studying and working on the
Sylvan Outpost. Thus, the 111th Chaos Storm swept by without me
noticing it. One day, I stepped out of the Academy, and noticed that
the sunspots were gone. I could use my skristal again! Many things were
also afoot. A new forest, dubbed “The Snagglewood”, had been discovered
to the north-east of the Orga Camp. I was excited to learn of this new
locale, so when I heard of a hunt headed for that very forest, I joined
them straight away. When we reached the entrance to the Snagglewood,
the entrance seemed blocked, and impassable. However, with the aid of a
Pathfinder, we were able to reach the Snagglewood.
I was immediately able to tell why this place was
called “The Snagglewood”. Speckled about the landscape were trees with
long, arm-like limbs, which looked like they could snag any unwary
passerby. I began to explore this facinating place, gradually
disapearing out of the sight of my party. Then, I was lost. I wandered
every which way, trying to retrace my steps and find my way back, but I
could not. Worse, the inhabitants of this place, the foul Orga, found
me and made short work of me. Luckily, the party caught up with me soon
enough, and we made our way out of the foul forest. So be warned! Do
not wander off alone in this foul place, for it is more confusing than
even the dank Marsh!
