Goblin Gathering
The next night I crept into the hollow hoping that I would surface near the misty mountain but instead I emerged in the middle of dark and frightening forest. I stood for a moment and gazed up into the clarity of the soft moonlit sky. And I could hear strange rustlings in the undergrowth. I shivered shoving my hands into my pocket and began to wander through the tangled forest. Tree branches thrust themselves at me as and monstrous bushes slowed my progress. Suddenly I caught a glance of something quickly scurrying by stooped over in the darkness. Freighted I jumped back and scrambled over a giant fallen tree truck covered with moss. And as I rounded a corner I could feel the unseen eyes that watched me. I stopped and picked

"So poor old Leviathan is dead. That stupid captain killed ....................................!" The others giggled and applauded. Then another troll began describing how Gordok had clipped the wings of dragon named Norbert he had shrieked like girl and the crowd roared wildly with laughter. Shocked, I muffled a cry and bit down hard on my lower lip. But it was too late one of the trolls heard me and pointed towards the hedge and roared, "There's something down there. It might be ones of those hobbits get it boys. We could have butterschock hobbit pudding for …show more content…
I shivered, coughed, and tried to pull some of the thorns that I picked up during my roll down the hill out of my pants. I decided that rather than taking a chance of being found by one of the trolls or by Gordok himself I should leave. And so I started walking aimlessly through the morning mist and fallen leaves. Suddenly I spotted a tiny home that had been built into a tree off in the distance. I staggered over to the home and knocked a few times on the door. A thin, frail hobbit who was dressed in a long black robe and had kind, soft brown eyes answered the door and smiled, "Good

    We kept on walking for the whole day until sundown through the flat valley, stopping every once and a while to rest. Then we saw a lake with many fish and mastodons in the distance. We threw our nets into the water, while some people watched the mammoths. We walked towards the mastodons after catching some fish. The mastodons started screaming and I thought ‘Did they see us?’…

    I awoke, not more than a few hours later, to the sound of breaking twigs, and crunching leaves. Without thinking, I walked out of my tree. A few feet past my tree, there was a party of men searching the forest. "There has to be one out somewhere here, there must be!"…

    Rustling and crackling mocked me like the darkness of the shadow, as I took every step. Branches twisted like distorted limb as if trying to grasp hold of me. The malformed mass towered over me, casting sinister shadows. As I walked closer, a brown sign emerged, “Redwood Forest”. Grotesque graffiti scribbled from the dying trees to the dilapidated sign, “Moonlight’s Curse”.…

    I awoke in the early hours of the morning as usual. The air was thick and wet, but the day’s hunt wouldn’t wait. I got up and stretched my legs before checking the traps I set the evening before. The forest seemed unsettlingly too quiet. Did I wake up earlier than I usually would have? I walked down to the waterhole, to see if any of my nets were filled. There was a soft mist over the shallows, creating an ominous feel. I checked up and down the banks, but my nets had all vanished. With the sounding of the raven’s caw, I decided to head back up to camp. I heard a quick rattle in the leaves due east of my position, so I made haste to draw my bow and hold her steady in firing position. My breath was heavy as the musk in the air poured into my lungs.…

    I followed them, in a trance, for a while as we climbed up and down little wooded hills and marched through grassy valleys. At last, we came to a fast flowing river that was surrounded by windswept willows. "Sit down," one of the hideous, foul-tempered trolls ordered. "Not there, against that tree," he insisted pointing his crooked wart covered finger at one of the willows. And I sat down in the shade under its tangled branches.…

    A dark, undefined shadow dashed before my eyes. Carefully, I crept behind the velvet-red chair, hoping to become unseen. Thick, smoke-scented air began to shake my senses, along with a blistering “BOOM!” Left…was a dark, defined shadow of dust-like ash.. floating low in dense fog.…

    I scampered around looking for shelter as the rain started to pitter patter against the forest floor. But almost as if by a miracle I stumbled upon a cave that had been made in the base of the mountain just as a tremendous lightning strike and thunder convulsed all around me. In the process of diving into the cave’s opening I scraped my forearm against the coarse dry ground of the cave and filled my mouth with the taste of old gritty earth, however, despite my injuries and horrid taste in my mouth I was safe from the storm.…

    It suddenly turns into a cold and rainy day in my hometown of Autumn Burrow. Damp and mellow was what my town felt like today. Autumn Burrow's the place where everyone works day and night, and urban myths and rumors of weird encounters with weird creatures. Such as vagabonds, shadows, or any other type of phenomena. I never have actually seen a ghost roaming around town, but it would be a weird experience if I ever saw one. Today, I plan to make a trip to Autumn Burrow's deep forest to find even more mysterious species, and to see if all the urban legends about the monster are true. I then start to gather all of my belongings: a satchel, my journal and pencil, and my beige trench coat. I set foot out of my lovely, wooden home, and headed on down over to Autumn Burrow's timber lands. I then start to grab my journal and pencil out of my satchel and record how I felt as of now.…

    As we walked down the trail to get to the cabin, it was so quiet no sound was made. We made it back to the cabin and geared up, all our jackets, cooler, orange vests, bullets, and my gun. Everyone was ready to go. So we walked down the trails where the blinds were, but we stopped at the skulls hanging on the trees Ron told us that we touch the skulls for good luck. So we did…

    The air is definitely getting cooler as I climbed higher, much colder and my nipples will poke holes through my leather corset, hah I’m sure some people would like that. Seriously though wish I had bought a cloak. It felt like I had been walking for hours when I notice the snow was thinning and soon there was no snow on the ground and not long after I saw the north path heading to Ivarstead. And minutes later I saw the damaged meadery, guarded by a hostile bear. Having dealt with the bear I investigated the grounds and saw that while the outside and one wing were damaged most of the structure was fine. A note pinned to do the door directed anyone wanting to buy the inn to see Neldam Dorvayn who was staying at the Vilemyr inn in…

    After giving the pile of old tree limbs she was pointing at a good second stare I saw it. There was a roof slightly sticking up from a mass of brush. I had lived right up the hill from this location for 9 years and had been down to the camp dozens of times, but never have I ever noticed this small roof that was roughly 100 meters away from the camp. We sprinted on through the scraggly brush, being pulled back on by plenty of branches and jumping over small creeks. Tumbling, jerking, and fleeing was pulling everyone back, but yet was pushing everyone forward. We stopped dead in our tracks after what felt like hours of sprinting and adjusted to the spontaneous sight that was in front of us, sending my eyes into…
