How many of these thrice-damned things are there? I tried to get into the inner sanctum of the temple, but more and more of those unliving things kept appearing.\n\nAs soon as I'd dealt with one, the last one had already risen again! I had to retreat, else I'd risk being stuck here, clawing my way out over a dozen or more deaths and rebirths.\n\nIt may take an army to clear these things out... Maybe drag all of their bones into a deep, dark hole and throw them inside.\n\n- Simon Grey

A Hasty Retreat

The sun shines on the water of the ocean, and it is... pretty? Beautiful? Magical?\n\nBah. Never could wrap my head around poetry. Too many flowery words, not enough action. Why can't I just write "The sun was bright on the water." Simple, tells how it is.\n\nBut the ladies like it... She would like it... So I'll keep trying.\n\nThe sun... glistens? on the water...

Geertie, \nYour grams told me you wanted her stew recipe to take to this new world you're off to, so I've copied it here into your cookbook.\nWishing you a safe journey,\n-Mum\n\nTo a cauldron of water, add 1 whole turkey (pluck'd), 1 whole rabbit (skin'd), 4 large chop'd squash.\nSet the cauldron on the flame to boil, then add 3 handfuls of briar branches, 8 chopped carrots, and a full head of cabbage. Stir occasionally.\nAfter 1 hour, move the cauldron to half heat. Add 2 handfuls of flour to thicken. For more flavor, add a dollop of sausage drippings.\nAdd herbs to taste.\nPeel meat from turkey and rabbit, serve.\nWill keep for days if kept warm and more water added as needed.

For A Hearty Stew

Barely made it across the bridge before those winged Withered attacked, and during the scuffle, the bridge was destroyed. We were able to fight them back for now, but it's too late to press on to the settlement tonight, and we'll need the light to see what kind of damage the wagons have taken.\n\nThe differences in these last two trips has been night and day. Our last trip down into Windsward, perfect weather, no problems at all, and even shaved time off by taking a shortcut between two of those strange Corrupted pillars that have started to appear. This trip, however, has been one problem after another! Broken axles, spoiled food, attacks by every blasted creature on the island... it's like we're attracting every bit of bad luck possible. Perhaps we used up whatever luck we had left?\n\nAh well. We're safe enough for now, and on first look, it seems we only lost a bit of the trade goods. I'm sure Dauti will understand once we explain.
