Downriver (2/03/2007)


From the writing of Nalla Mann  --Bartender of the Bloody Nall Tavern
They made their way downriver--following the meandering curves of the river.  For 5 days they kept chugging along --day and night piloting the boat in shifts--trying desperately to make up the lost time of the party they were looking for.   The Pineappleman was resting when Max woke him up.   "We are now entering into the Wild Lands --I thought you would want to be awake".
The Pineappleman -was slow to rise still feeling the leftover effects of the poison that had been is his system. He staggered up to the front of the boat.   They were passing the Enoc Totems --The signpost that your were leaving the civilized world.   The Enoc were a peace loving tribe that often came upriver to barter their crops with the villages along the river.  Though peaceful in nature they had many warriors to protect from attacks.  They were the last outpost before you headed into a dangerous region called the Wild Lands.  Downriver from here lay the unknown.---Rumors of cannibals, certain death and the mysterious rarely seen clan of  Molek Monks.  Enoc children --lines the riverbank waving at the boat as it passed.    The chief stood at the end of this line and just shook his head at the Pineappleman as the boat went past. 
The Pineappleman turned to Max  "From here on keep a extra watchful eye ---the chief is saying  there is unrest ahead"
