It all started when I met my<br \/>\nclan mates Tonle and Firebird in town, and we decided to hunt in the<br \/>\nSavanah. We headed into the Marsh, and promptly got lost(a good bunch<br \/>\nof pathfinders we are). However, with the guidance of the wise<br \/>\nFirebird, we eventually made it into the Savanah. However, we were soon<br \/>\nfaced with another problem.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/files\/sav1.gif\" height=\"181\" width=\"246\"><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Our party of three managed to make it into the<br \/>\nSavanah, but we were soon forced with another dillema. There were no<br \/>\ncats around. We wandered about for several sne&#8217;lls of the Savanah, but<br \/>\nall we saw were an occaisional rat or vermine. Just then, we sensed<br \/>\nthat Fleming was in the lands, and decided to invite him to join in on<br \/>\nour hunt. We decided to meet him in the Maha Den&#8211; bad move.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/files\/sav2.gif\" height=\"222\" width=\"249\"><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>As it turned out, there were no Maha&#8217;s present in<br \/>\nthe cave of it&#8217;s namesake. What were present though, were vermine, and<br \/>\nthey attacked our party <i>en masse<\/i>. I was quickly felled, of<br \/>\ncourse, but Firebird managed to escape, and Tonle suddenly found<br \/>\nhimself surrounded by thirty or so vermine. That was when Tonle threw<br \/>\non his cloak, donned his leather bracers, and began chopping and<br \/>\nkicking at the vermine with surprising agility. Slowly, the ranks of<br \/>\nthe vermine were depleted by the Zo&#8217;s powerful blows. As the number of<br \/>\nthe vermine grew manageable, Firebird returned with Fleming, to help<br \/>\nout with the remaining pests. The hunters Rylanter, Thalion, and<br \/>\nGrayGradi arrived also, and finished off the vermine. Finally, when I<br \/>\nwas back on my feet, we continued our hunt for Mahas.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/files\/sav3.gif\" height=\"205\" width=\"252\"><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Suddenly, our luck with the Mahas began to change.<br \/>\nRylanter seemed to be a natural magnet for cats, and attracted many,<br \/>\nmany Savanah Mahas for us to hunt. We skillfully dispatched the Mahas,<br \/>\nand skinned the animals for their valuable furs, then continued the<br \/>\ncycle anew on more Mahas. Inebriated by our newfound success, we<br \/>\ndecided to move our hunt from the Savanah to the Southern Sand Dunes.<br \/>\nHowever, things began to fall apart as soon as we entered. Then the two<br \/>\nLarge Sand Wurms arrived.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/files\/sav4.gif\" height=\"156\" width=\"249\"><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Most of our party was quickly felled, though a few<br \/>\nof us managed to escape. The few survivors made repeated attempts to<br \/>\nrescue us, but that ended up only adding to the number of corpses,<br \/>\nuntil only Fleming and Thalion were left standing. At this point, they<br \/>\ndecided that they should call for help. And help did arrive, but they<br \/>\ntoo soon found themselves feeding the scavenger birds and rats.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/files\/sav5.gif\" height=\"237\" width=\"316\"><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Soon, more corpses littered the beach, and only<br \/>\nVeer and Fleming were left standing. However, as time passed, more and<br \/>\nmore rescuers arrived, and the tide began to turn. The new batch of<br \/>\nrescuers carefully entered the Dunes, and began to push the fallens to<br \/>\nsafety. Pretty soon, we were all resting on comfortable patches of<br \/>\ndirt, and receiving healing from the many present healers.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/files\/sav6.gif\" height=\"261\" width=\"333\"><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>When all of us were, we returned to the Dunes with<br \/>\nour new army of exiles. The LSWs didn&#8217;t stand a chance. Pretty soon,<br \/>\nthe entire Dunes area was cleared of critters, and we resumed our hunt<br \/>\nfor Mahas. And thus ended our adventure in the Savanah.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/files\/sav7.gif\" height=\"219\" width=\"266\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 224, Year 541 of the Ascendancy Today I had the opportunity to hunt with my clan mates in the Savanah, which ended up turning into a massacre.
