Wow. I mean WOW! The forest was interesting already. Going straight, but in a circle. I wish Uthemar was around he would have been impressed. But then swamp, trolls, DRAGON!! I was scared but it was magnificent. So we tried to fight it, but dragons are hard to fight. Turns out it wanted to talk and negotiate and get us to do things for her. Her name is Vlehanian. She is so beautiful and scary. Nails on her claws as long as my lower arm and the shades of green on her scales!!
Absolutely magnificent. And there’s people who want to hunt her. But she’s busy and doesn’t have time to explain them not to hunt her. So me, Khajit, Sigurd and Metal Man agreed to help her and do the talking with the hunters. She wanted us to get the hunters to go after her mama. Crazy huh. She must have had a hard childhood, if she wants the dragon hunters to go after her mama. Maybe something to do with not eating her porridge.
Anyway, she put a spell on us, to make sure we would keep our end of the deal and not just walk away. Makes sense to me. So then she told her where to find her mama and lots of other stuff about her mama, whose named Ysandr’el. I tell you, bad childhood memories. Maybe she had a brother or sister who was the favorite child. I don’t know.
So anyway. We head out to these dragon hunter peoples. We slog out of the swamp and reach a river that we follow. On the river we find some sort of castle that belongs to the hunters and we went and met them.
Metal Man is interesting. He can tweak his armor or something. One moment it’s all clunky and loud and then he fiddles with it for an hour or so and it’s not clunky at all. Also he doesn’t sleep. He just sits and stares ahead of him. But he does notice what is going on. Cause I was waving in front of his face and he noticed it. Very interesting. I don’t think he eats. Hmmmm. Strange.
Anyway…where was I. Oh, yeah, the hunter fortification. So we were sneaking around it to get an impression of it, but they saw us. Then we went and talked to them and they invited us inside. They’re working hard on that place and they like Kord. He’s a god Sigurd told me about. A different god than Melora. She is nice. She likes nature and plants and animals and people that care for nature and plants and animals. Not Kord. He is more of a ‘ead bustin’ and ass kickin’ god, the way Sigurd explained it to me. So all these hunters are head busting ass kicking peoples I guess. Sigurd seems to like them. They gave us food and Sigurd and Khajit talked to them.
Metal Man doesn’t talk so much. And he is a bit funny around people. I was just looking, there was so much to see. Then Sigurd and Khajit told them the information about the green dragon. The mean mama, not the nice one we talked to. I mean, she must be nice, she could have killed us, but she totally didn’t. So I wanted to tell these people that gave us food about her, cause they seem nice too. And then all of a sudden Sigurd elbows me again. He does that some times when I am talking. Bruises my ribs it does.
So then Khajit and Sigurd said they want to come along with these Kord dragon hunter peoples. But they say we have to prove ourselves by hunting some ice crocodile. Pffffttt. That can’t be that hard. I’ve done hide and seek with blink dogs. Now that is hard I tell you. So we go out and find the tracks of this crocodile. And it’s huge. Giant like I tell you. We fight it and it swallows Sigurd!!! That was nasty. But we killed it dead and Sigurd brought it’s head to show to the Kord peoples. Then they gave us food again and said we could come to hunt the dragon. I’m a bit concerned though. If this mama dragon is so nasty her daughter wants her hunted maybe we should stay away, but Sigurd and Khajit seem convinced it is a good idea.
