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?

C LOS E CALL<br />

People would dem<strong>and</strong> that businesses deliver goods to their homes directly, to<br />

push packages right into their living rooms, so they need not even walk out their<br />

door at all. Then portals will be set up right next to a chair, so one only has to<br />

reach into it to retrieve something from their pantry, or basement, or wherever.<br />

All interactions between neighbors will dwindle to nothing, people would rarely<br />

leave their house or even their seat, <strong>and</strong> they would become increasingly lazy to<br />

the point that fatness would be an epidemic among the youth, <strong>and</strong> an entire<br />

generation would see an early grave.”<br />

“Well then...” Zelendra went back to finish her dessert, “I won't tell<br />

anyone.”<br />

“We must use the portal this time, because where we have to go will take<br />

many months normally. And also, Dr<strong>and</strong>en, it is true, they can be dangerous.<br />

Don't worry though, us wizards have improved on previous models after testing<br />

on many unfortunate creatures, so none of you have anything to worry about, I<br />

think. One can never be absolutely certain about such things. Unexpected things<br />

have been known to occur; limbs ending up on the wrong place, or the whole<br />

body turned inside out. We must be off to bed at once, it will be an early morning<br />

tomorrow. Pleasant dreams to all.”<br />
