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?

Chapter 11<br />
Finding Someone<br />
Crowded <strong>and</strong> pressed up against each other, the tent was indeed at<br />
maximum capacity with the four jammed inside. Rendle, whose snores<br />
sounded like long resonating croaks, lied next to an anxious Belfast who<br />
found it difficult to sleep. Dr<strong>and</strong>en kept his shoes <strong>and</strong> socks on so as not to<br />
suffocate anyone with an unsavory smell, like pickles smothered in week's old<br />
mayonnaise. While Pournel got the best spot next to the entrance where a cool<br />
breeze drifted.<br />
Smoking his pipe for several hours, Pournel eventually put it away, pulled<br />
out a comfy pillow from his satchel, <strong>and</strong> fell fast asleep.<br />
How many items does he have in that bag? Belfast wondered, since he had<br />
witnessed so many things retrieved from the little sack. The old man was<br />
definitely a wizard, that much was certain, <strong>and</strong> although grateful for having<br />
found the group at the time he did, Belfast couldn't help but feel a little<br />
begrudging with how Pournel reacted to his quest. Should he turn away or keep<br />
going? His thoughts were muddled with conflicting emotions, especially with all<br />
that's happened in the long two years since that fateful Furpletromp game.<br />
The fumbling had gotten so terrible that he nearly killed a co-worker by<br />
rolling a heavy barrel over on top the terrified man. Belfast went from one job to<br />
another, incident after incident, until everyone in the township knew of his blight.<br />
Some were consolatory but still remained distant, while others added to the<br />
mocking, giving him those rude nicknames. Women, a species he was so familiar<br />
