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?

THE CURSE<br />
must be off to.” Waving goodbye, Pournel teetered drunkenly down the road.<br />
A wizard! That's exactly what Dr<strong>and</strong>en needed to lift the curse off his lawn.<br />
Oh happy day! He knew going to the pub would solve his problems just like it<br />
normally did.<br />
Stepping alongside the me<strong>and</strong>ering drunk wizard, Dr<strong>and</strong>en needed to strike<br />
up a conversation <strong>and</strong> immediately thought about the game Furpletromp, which<br />
was a sport the common folk in this kingdom loved, <strong>and</strong> something Dr<strong>and</strong>en<br />
overheard that Pournel also loved.<br />
“How about those Tumbletoads against the Muckworms this next week,<br />
should be a fierce match?” Dr<strong>and</strong>en said as casually as he could. These were two<br />
opposing teams that had a long historical rivalry, <strong>and</strong> Dr<strong>and</strong>en wanted to see<br />
which team Pournel favored.<br />
“Should be a fierce match indeed!” Pournel answered. “But in the end, the<br />
Muckworms will be victorious.”<br />
“I agree that the Muckworms have a huge shot at winning,” Dr<strong>and</strong>en said<br />
with wavering agreement, “but their defense could use a little work.”<br />
“What?” Pournel grunted <strong>and</strong> rolled his eyes. “Don't be silly.” The wizard<br />
then rambled on <strong>and</strong> on, with a few hiccups in between, about every single<br />
Muckworm player's physical attributes, <strong>and</strong> how each one easily dominated their<br />
Tumbletoad counterpart.<br />
Agreeing with Brewsworth at every chance he got, Dr<strong>and</strong>en made it seem<br />
like his mind had been changed <strong>and</strong> that the wizard made an excellent case.<br />
“You make a very convincing argument <strong>and</strong> have settled my mind.”<br />
Dr<strong>and</strong>en said while puffing out his chest <strong>and</strong> lifting his chin with confidence. “I'll<br />
definitely put my money on the Muckworms.”<br />
“It would be a wise investment.” Pournel pulled out a pipe from his satchel<br />
<strong>and</strong> puffed on it, allowing a period of silence to settle between the two as they<br />
walked the streets. The smoke rolled off the wizard's tongue <strong>and</strong> drifted high into<br />
the air.<br />
Sensing that he had put the wizard in enough of a good mood, Dr<strong>and</strong>en<br />
rubbed his h<strong>and</strong>s together <strong>and</strong> cracked his knuckles, all while letting out a<br />
hushed, unpleasant moan.<br />
Hmmhmmhmm...<br />
Noticing his walking companion in pain, Pournel turned to Dr<strong>and</strong>en. “Are<br />
you alright? You seem agitated.”<br />
“Yes, yes I'm fine, thank you...well, no, not exactly. You see, it's all this<br />
nonsense with my lawn. No matter how much time <strong>and</strong> love I put into it, those<br />
despicable weeds keep coming up to ruin it.”<br />
“I see.”<br />
