Well I don't remember what I am off to do. The local bowyer tells me to seek and kill a forest titan by the name of Apeheather the Oak of Clams. I think I'll pass. Then I remember something about a museum on the other side of the world which pays handsomely for samples they don't have. I think that is what I am off to do... So I leave the Hilllock known as Goldenpuce. I traveled west to the fortress of Bronzerim. greeted by a hammerdwarf there. It has walls of beautiful cobaltite. They are busy here in what appears to trading with elves. Found a reacher(female) and giant toad(male) in the cavern just of the road. I strangled both to death. I then leave the fortress and proceed south I swim to the next island where I find a male Osprey which I strangle to death. Well I have three corpses and some plant specimens. It is night I should sleep.

Managed to sleep a couple of nights on the shore here. I stop and drink some water from a river by the hillock Ghostpaged before continuing on. I stopped at the fortress Polishedmines. Number of corpses here. Nice microcline walls. I take a nap there. then head to the Glorious mountains and sleep there.
2nd of Sandstone, 57
I come across a male wombat which I strangled to death, at the cost of my lower front teeth. Stopped in the hillock of Reinboots. I then went to The Pristine Bulwark outside the hamlet of Shieldcarnal. picked up a spare waterskin, a +bronze pick+, rope reed thread. I spend the night in the hamlet of Championflowers.

Swam to anther island today. Upon reaching the shore, I came upon a group of sea otters. Strangled to death a male and female. Slept in a house in the hamlet of Chaosdashed.
4rth of Sandstone, 57
I came across a female wombat. Which I strangled and kept corpse. Pairs nicely withe the male corpse I already have. Seen lots of Keas today. Made it to the hamlet of Savedhollow. The keep here is known as The Admiration of Heads. A little disturbing will keep my wits about me here. I pick up llama wool, alpaca wool, and sheep wool yarn here. Every time I stop in some place of civilization they want me to kill something or other.... Ambushed by a pack of dingoes, dispatched four. Traveled back to Savedhollow to spend the night.

Awoke in the night to a male hammerhead shark air drowning. My clothes are starting to wear out. Wonder if it is from all the swimming and sleeping outside. Picked lots of leaves today. Spent another night on the shore.
12th of Sandstone, 57
Another night where I awake to air drowning, this time a male Bull shark. Picked up the specimen then went back to sleep. Really thirsty need to find some non salt water to drink. Found a brook and stocked up on fresh water. Swam south again today. Then slept on the shore.

Slept the night through. Failed to get a giant parakeet. Off to next landmass. Tis night by the time I reach the other side to the shore, another night listening to the ocean.
15th of Sandstone, 57
I awake on the shore at dawn, wander down the beach looking for a way up that doesn't involve climbing. I come upon a giant male wolverine by a natural ramp way going up. Failed to catch it. It scampered off. Traveled south than east into mountains where I will spend the night.
16th of Sandstone, 57
Didn't sleep well in the mountains, woke up a few times in the night. Continuing east today. Reached the ocean again, I swim east and camp on the opposite shore. well into night when I reach it.

Wake up still tired, I travel east. Camp on the shore again.

I awake and prepare to swim east. I am tired all the time. East must push east. Another shore to sleep on. So tired.

I awake once more in wet sand. I am still tired. But it is time to swim. On I must go. to the east..... I make it to the next shore I call it an early night I need the rest.
20th of Sandstone, 57
I awake in the middle of the night to a female tiger shark air drowning. eat the last of my spinach and go back to bed. I awake, I am out of fresh water again. Found a stream, restocked on fresh water. Crossed the Island and then called it a night on the shore.
21st of Sandstone, 57
An uneventful night. Swam east again. I reach to opposite shore the same morning, only to find cliffs. Scouted north a bit but find nothing but more cliffs. Tried climbing a few times but kept falling back down. Will try south I guess... Called it a night on the same shore. will try and walk around the cliffs.
22nd of Sandstone, 57
Drank the last of my fresh water this morning. Killed a crab for food today. and continued my search for a way past the cliffs with no luck. I fear I may end up dead from dehydration, if my luck does not improve. another night on the shore.
23rd of Sandstone, 57
As I continue south along the shore looking for a break in the cliffs. the basalt pebbles give way to black sand. pushing south into the night.
