Weeds Meads and Steeds PDF
After an alcoholic wizard accidentally curses a forest, it’s up to a group of misfit adventurers to set things right. There’s Dranden, a saddle maker wanting to boost his business; Belfast, a ruggedly handsome man who is also dangerously clumsy; Toble, a smelly, disgusting goblin who wants to do some good with his miserable, wretched existence; Rendle, a dull-witted academic who’s entirely obsessed with amphibians; and finally Zelendra, a half-elf priestess who ran away from home in search of true love. But their relatively easy quest of chopping down an infected tree quickly turns dangerous as they uncover a deeply sinister plot that’s bigger and far more ancient than any of them could imagine. With the entire kingdom at risk these brave souls must battle an ice elemental, survive their evil twins, traverse the shadow realm, and destroy a rampaging monster; all while tripping over, getting lucky, or taking naps – whatever works! They learn how to set aside their differences and grapple with life’s big questions such as; can you trust your perception of reality, is chasing after love a noble pursuit, what are the metaphysics of luck, and do frogs taste better than chickens?

Chasing Rabbits<br />
Stuffed from eating the vegetables <strong>and</strong> fruit in the large garden next to the<br />
mansion, Toble the goblin looked into the nearby woods <strong>and</strong> fields for<br />
something meaty to catch. Normally he didn't eat vegetables, but having<br />
been starved for so long, he would have gladly eaten his own hair <strong>and</strong> nail<br />
clippings, which was far from desirous. Besides, the ample supply of garden food<br />
was mostly decent tasting.<br />
After surviving the elves in the forest, crawling through acres of mud for<br />
several days, <strong>and</strong> traveling through a dense forest for weeks, this nice plot of<br />
quiet l<strong>and</strong> provided some much needed relief for the wary goblin. The only<br />
problem was that there was a large mansion close by <strong>and</strong> the garden was<br />
obviously tended to regularly, but Toble hadn't seen a soul since he got here,<br />
which was nearly a week ago. There were other, smaller buildings in clusters<br />
near the mansion, but he left them well alone – no sense in accidentally setting<br />
off an alarm <strong>and</strong> arousing a sleeping owner.<br />
Toble was obviously grateful for having food, a safe place to sleep, <strong>and</strong><br />
quiet time to reflect, but like all creatures that become comfortable, he wanted<br />
more – <strong>and</strong> meat was definitely on his mind. The surrounding woods were quiet,<br />
with the occasional bird that stayed well-outside a greedy goblin's reach. But he<br />
also thought he had seen a rabbit hopping around on the west side of the<br />
mansion. It could have been the hallucinations of a meat-starved mind, but Toble<br />
needed to make sure.<br />
