Kruin 1 - notes on killing druids


The folk a my village always wanted to be one of them nature witches.  They said that the great cyclone raging when I was born left summin in me, that’s why ma eyes turned out the colour o the sky, and that it was the will of ole’ mighty Jah that I should learn to bend nature to serve ma people.  What a load a backwash.

I picked up the lightnin thing pretty fast, that was always good for snagging passing fish and such, and some other lil’ jank tricks came along, but eventually the ole grandmamma of my village said she’d had enough a tryin to teach me, I was too angry or flighty or some bull.  Kinda rich complaining I was flighty when they were so keen on making me control air an all.  Stupid people.

Anyway, other day I actually met one a these nature witch folk.  Was out hunting cause the folk I’ve been trawling them ruins with all managed to get themselves poisoned, or drained a blood, or set afire by stuff down in the undergrounds and they needed someone to feed them like a bunch of little babies only just getting used to life away from their mumma’s tit.

Anyway, I found a couple o beasties that soon ran off, I never ben keen on bows, but I probbly shoulda bought one with me huntin, ma lightning just don’t stretch far enough to nab most critters.  But then I found a nice little patch o mulberry trees, figured that’d feed the sick little babes good enough.  Got a full good harvest a them and took em back to that castle they all holed up in.

They mostly still were lyeing around complaining about poison in their blood the next day too, so I went back over near them trees see what more stuff I could find.  Bunch a wolves there this time, actin kind of funny looking my way, not like normal beasties ten ta act.  Then some nature witch actually appeared and told me these were her trees.  Since when do those type a folk lay claim to patches o land? Shades reckons he owns all the land around that castle, not sure if anyone else cares for that claim, but whatever the case, this dirty woman don’t own it.

I shouted at her a bit and she started pulling lightnin on me.  Just cause you can shoot the stuff out, don’t mean you’re safe from it, and her and her puppies didn’t seem like a good fight to have by myself, so I shouted at her an left.  Now I need to head back.

I figure best way to get this dirty witch be to burn down her trees, maybe if Jah is smilin on me she’ll be in one, lyeing with a wolf or summin, when they burn.  If not maybe I need to have a chat to the big ole crow that lives in the tower (the flyin one, not Shades) and tell him where he can find some tastey tame wolves to chew on. 

Or I could use some o the slime we found yesterday to eat her trees, her wolves an her all up.  I found you can use the stuff to cure poison, dropped some on the face o that fella Jax after he got hit with a dart.  Folk kept telling me not ta but for all their spirit magic in the dwarf and that orc with the tattoos they didn’t do any good. Eventually I put the slime on him anyway, and he got better, but then the other orc blew the room up, and poor fella ended up dieing despite ma help.  May he meet Jah light.  Maybe if they hadn’t gotten in ma way slime coulda saved him in time.  Anyway, the slimes eat plants and animals and spreads like the sea breaching a harbour, so maybe it’ll eat that witch’s trees.  That elf with all the bottles (who got him self all hurt trying to save me from a big ole snake, nice fella) kept some, so maybe there’s a night time run over to them trees on the cards soon...
