Jason continues his travel through the trees. Despite his worries the Snarltails just are not prepared to have the tables turned on them. His sneak tactics net another four of the cats easy enough. The only problem is how long it takes to find them in the first place. Those four took him the rest of the day and halfway through the n...

The herd of nine deer move into the clearing. Off to the side the Snarltail tenses up ready to pounce. Jason, a few trees back tenses as well. Seconds trickle by as the deer situate themselves in the clearing and start to graze. The Snarltail crouches even lower to the ground in preparation to attack. A slight twitch runs down its l...

Ahead trees rise to the sky as Jason slows down to a jog. Despite what he expected the view shocks him. Copses of trees are growing close together yet none of them have grown together. A tree or more of space separates them from one another As Jason approaches he catches glimpses deep in as the gaps line up. To the side a glimpse of...

Sat at the bar stool Jason looks at the letter in his hand. Rosha’s letter gave him a hint of what was to come but he just didn’t want to look. They hadn’t been a team for long or done much together but Jason liked to believe that facing troubles together could create lifelong friends. However the letter was already written an...

Jason wakes up next morning bright and early. Not that he had a choice, what with the loud knocking at the door. Groggy from his forced wake up he gets dressed before he answers the door. Behind it, about to knock again, is a chipper young man dressed in the Adventurers Guild uniform. With a short bow the man greats him, “Hello th...

Jason’s next stop in the market is simple enough. A quick stop in a grocer fills his pack back up with food for a couple of silver. Most of the money spent on jerky. Jason was tired of soup after his trip through the Wasteland. To have some food with actual chew to it tops his list of things to not be without from now on. Next sto...

Nole places the Gloom Weed seed packet to the side. With an embarrassed cough he grabs the next packet. “Got a little away with my explanation there. I will try to keep more on topic.

Jason can understand not wanting a rabbit in a plant store. So as not keep Nole waiting a simple nod and Jason brings out his herbs. Jason points at each plant in order and explains what he did, “This first herb I pruned off any flowers so it couldn’t develop any berries. The plant itself has grown well without any berries.

Satisfied with his visit to the Adventurers Guild Jason heads off towards the shopping district.

Dinner was a soup made of a potato analog and some kind of meat with a side of buttered bread. Overall, a decent meal. Fern even provided a few leafy greens for Lily to munch on.

Fern shrugs, “The Snarltail in the end is just something to get some xp. Small groups of a challenging level 14 monster. The boss is another thing entirely.

With the town in sight Jason slows down. Before him spreads out a rock wall. While the wall is rough, he can tell that is only because it sees constant use. Over two stories tall, and yet there are scratch marks showing that almost reach the top. Not just small scratches either. One particular mark he can see from here goes from nea...

After the strange rabbits visit no other creature dared even move in the camp's direction. Jason for the first time in days has a decent night’s sleep. He wakes up an hour after sunrise to the rabbit kit nudging him, whining for more berries. A little groggy after the unexpected sleep he takes some time to remember where he put th...

As day approaches a certain Silver Antlered Jackalope worries itself to pieces. Somewhat halfway through the night it returned with another group of adolescent rabbits only to be shocked out of its mind. Somehow a kit had ended up sleeping on the human’s lap. At double speed the Jackalope grabbed any other kits that were in the ar...

Jason murmurs, “interesting”, before he tests all the other parts of the plant. Even going as far as to put his hands on both sides of the pot and try the roots. It all works out with the roots feedback being the oddest. They smelled of being content with a slight color of dryness. Besides that the leaves made up for the r...

Another night passed by and Jason is able to set out again. Yesterday’s chase was exciting but in the end not the kind of fight he was looking for. In fact, it has filtered through to him that there won’t be a good fight until he leaves the Wasteland. While the level range of the monsters hasn’t changed the balance between the...

Once again Jason wakes up refreshed, the excessive number of rabbits having taken care of the waste energy. A quick stretch and he heads off once again.

All night while Jason mediated an irritated silver horned jackalope can be seen hopping all over the place. Until yesterday Jason had traveled at a relatively sedate pace and the adult rabbits of nearby dens could bring their young over to evolve. With his experiments in movement though he moved beyond what a normal rabbit could cov...

Over the next couple of days Jason continues his wool gathering about cultivation. In the end though all he can figure is the next time he is out of his pod he needs to test things. Not that all he did these few days was walk and think. A couple creatures annoyed him. However, a snake with a sloths head isn’t exactly threatening. ...
