Week 16 - the tale of the golden stag

Stop me if you heard this before, but we're on the road. We might on the road forever. I don't know. All I do know is that the egg is coming along nicely. It's little fermented bath is keeping it nice and happy and every once and a while I notice that the barrel wiggles on its own.

So we're going down the road and off in the distance, just as the clouds separate, the sun shined down on a herd of deer. It became way to bright for me to see, so I spent most of my time just trying to get out of the sunlight. I could hear Patrin and Mr. Beads talking about what they were seeing. All the deer scattered, except for one.

It was... a Golden Stag. With fur so regal and shiny (supposedly). Mr. Beads just had to have it. The caravan of carts were eager to try and hunt down this stag, but we had different plans. Mordoc told Beads to stay put and keep the caravan at bay and we'll go check it out. The stag jumped into the forest and we take follow.

I have no idea what's happening, but I was told to look for the stag. It was rather convenient, the stag actually walked up to us, but gave us a very ominous message.  Something about plans may not go to plan and not all will make it. Then it just walked off into the distance and it's fleece dropped to the ground.

Patrin went to go pick up the fleece and found it had become a cloak. Perfect for my boy Patrin!

We head back and Bead is so excited, he decides to throw us a party! I quietly took care of the egg and read it some facts.

Next morning, we continue our voyage, when out of nowhere, these big bird things with deer heads swoop down and start attacking us. They were horrifying and they kept swooping and swooping. Being as small as I am, I mostly hid underneath the carts, but they got lucky and knocked me out for a minute. I was able to gain consciousness really quickly though and let our spellcasters try to take care of it. 

Finally, we headed into Waterdeep, but only for a moment. We met this really shady person, I don't like them, but they thankfully needed to press on with what they were doing. We said goodbye to Bead and hitched a ride with a new caravan.

​We're headed even further north.
