[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6735967, member: 9255"] THE MORGRAVE ADVENTURES “01 THE TRADE” SEGMENT 04 “CLEAVED STONE” DRAVAGO 18, 1000 ROLLING HILLS OF AUNDAIR Sad. These horses are sad. Not magebred. Not even of any quality. The horse given to Hardfist looks like a tired delivery work horse which if so will not like a rider. Sersi, as promised, has three horses readied and saddled for them. The dwarf climbs on and hopes the others are up for this. Hardfist puts his horse in a headlock and after forcing the head down climbs on. The horse looks pained. But at least he didn’t fall off. The lizardfolk’s tail is awkward at best within the saddle. Twice he fell off as his tall struck the horse’s flank before being seated. Once on, the horse is unsettled to have such a rider as this and proves hard to control. Hardfist is smiling and happy to be up on the horse. When the others begin to trot to the gate he asks for them to wait. “My horse won’t go!” he cries out like a worried child. Sersi, wondering if this is the last time she will ever see her horses tells him to cluck two. “Cluck?” “Yes or you can gently kick it with your heels.” The horse wheezes as the gentle giant gives a hard and gut retching kick to the old workhorse. The horse more staggers out the gate than trots. The goliath is proud of himself. He is riding a horse. If he were home he would have to show his entire village. Frowning as he thinks about this, he decides that maybe it is best they do not see him riding a horse. It is not long before the lizardfolk remembers something that they thought would not happen again- they didn’t stock up on food. Though the animals are different and the rabbit he hunts jumps quickly about instead of swimming, Kar-Draith finally shots it. It is not much but they eat that day. Slowly they get better at riding. Hardfist tries a new method of mounting his horse. He goes from behind and forces the horse to sit. The horse, if not prepared to have a rider, clearly is not used to be man-handled. On the second day, Hardfist supplies the food. No questions are asked at how he got it (found it in an existing trap) but the food is good. Again, Wardrum and Kar-Draith discuss the need to cook the food. They saw their first floating tower on the second day and their first dragonhawk with a rider on the third day. No food. DRAVAGO 20, 1000 ROLLING HILLS OF AUNDAIR That night however something comes to them. The city dwellers decide setting up a watch was not required. They regret this decision as they awake to the screams of Kar-Draith’s horse. An owlbear has entered the camp looking for fresh horse meat. Kar-Draith is quick to locate his bow. The dwarf is quicker. He fires at the raging creature and a bolt strikes it. It shrugs it off. The dwarf and lizardfolk are dumbfounded as the goliath charges directly at it. “Darned fool thinks he can fight it hand to hand!” grumbles the dwarf as he reloads.
