Day 208, Year 548

I’ve been pretty busy with my studies lately, and I haven’t been out of
the library as often as I would like. I was, however, able to take a
brief respite from my studies a few days ago, to attend my clan’s
monthly meeting.

Gathering ’round the fire

We had a good turnout this meeting, and we went over our usual
business, as well as our work on the updated sylvan Lexicon. We decided
to stop assigning “homework” at each meeting until we have all of the
current words compiled on a webscroll.

Also at the meeting, Anfyr introduced us to her younger brother
Dar’floh, who has just recently arrived in Puddleby. After the meeting,
Dar’floh joined our clan as a new Hopeful.

Afterwards, it was time to go hunting! Since we had a pretty mixed
group of both experienced and inexperienced exiles, we decided to go
hunting in a number of mid range areas.

The first place that we visited was the Rocky Cavern, where we
were greeted with quite a treat– three Blood Wyrms right by the
entrance!

Luckily for us, Xepel, who is a ledger holder in Detha, was easily
able to brick the three wyrms, and we vanquished the wyrms with little
difficulty. Afterwards, we dispatched several of the wyrms’ grey
skinned cousins, and headed to the Northern Plains for some more
hunting.

We found a number of cats wandering around in the Plains, and
we were able to collect a bunch of nice furs. After we cleared the
Plains, we headed to the Chameleopod Forest for a fun and challenging
hunt.

Hunting for some ‘Pods

After hunting in the Chameleopod Forest, most of my clanmates had to
leave, so we headed back to town. However, on the way back, a few of us
decided to check the Rocky Cavern again, to see if we could find any
more wyrms. To our surprise and delight, we encountered a rare Sun
Wyrm.

Battling the Sun Wyrm

The Sun Wyrm gave us quite a challenge, but Xepel was able to hold
it with the aid of Vequalir and Mazuian, and Fleming was able to
whittle it down with his incredible Atkus. We were finally able to
bring down the Sun Wyrm after a few minutes, and not a moment too soon,
for we were soon struck by a powerful earthquake.

Afterwards, we made a quick run through the passes, then
returned to town. All in all it was a pretty exciting hunt, and we were
even able to avoid our usual Mil’asanti!
