FRESH COG

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Attempting to leave the elf settlement was incredibly difficult, Cog felt restless and and uneasy. Perhaps it was something he ate. Perhaps someone was trying to kill him. Eventually however, he escaped the settlement, rushing northwards with the speed of a hungry dwarf. Quarithi ran off to chase something down, whatever it was it must've run away from her because Quarithi returned very much alive and well.

I believe it was a draw.

Traveling through the night Cog was to make 3 days travel with less than 10 hours of sleep.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
We must be close to the shore! WE CANNOT REST NOW!

The travel northwards was without any mark of time or progress to guide the way, even taking into account the fact that if there were any, Cog wouldn't see them. The jungle was dense and there was probably fruit somewhere but even the elf settlements were growing sparse - this was true wilderness.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
A very nice wilderness though, cool, warm and calm, with barely a lick of wolves to send shivers down your spine. It was a tropical paradise, slightly barren of food but likewise holding great potential for exploitation. I don't think the Elves will jump to the gun to use their jungle's resources just yet though.

This weather would not hold true all the time. As a sign of just how much progress the trio were making, things began to grow more unusual.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
For the first time there was snow, and a river was crossed without getting anyone's feet wet - it was frozen over. Cog soon got back on path with the tropical mist returning, but he was definitely on the cusp of the circumstantial forest.

They passed Cultdune, stopping briefly to have a chat with such an unusually named forest retreat.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Cog stood in the middle of their forest retreat, so isolated and so far away from the capital elf land. Curiously there was no one there to greet them, no commotion in the trees, no rangers standing guard anywhere. It was a ghost retreat. Cog hesitated to shout out to anybody, deciding that this retreat was too strange, it would be best to move on straight away before anyone noticed they were there.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Half a day's travel north led them here, finally outside of the circumstantial forest and into Cog's greatest enemy: The river.

Could it be? Does the ocean lie beyond?!

Also, what does his Hammer look like? What are the decorations on it?
also, mango and honey badger sounds like a pretty balanced diet to me.  Just add potato.
We have no potato sadly. Potato is not for this climate.
As for the hammer, it is encircled with bands of baguette cut yellow grossulars. On the item is an image of a bed in copper.
Never sleep without it.

YOU FELL INTO MY TRAP

That's an awesome hammer. I particularly like how there is a bed engraved on it, as you could say it puts your foes into an "eternal rest."

The river crossing went quite well, there was a slight hitch however when Onget appears to have had some difficulties retaining his wits; having to be dragged from the river lest he continue trying to befriend fish.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The travel North was calm but no longer quiet. Things ran in the woods, fleeing from the adventurers disturbing the ground underfoot.
As night gave way to dawn everyone felt freezing, wrapping their cloaks tightly around themselves. Cog wished he had more togas.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Pausing to brew some tea in a mango wood barrel by a warm campfire after risking a plunge into a cold river the trio regained their bearings. Quarithi spotted familiar trees to the northwest and both Onget and Cog could smell it too.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Calmdawns, the last Elf retreat on the great frontier - it reeked of Elf. The jungles around it were still quite warm comparative to the ever colder surroundings, Cog could see why the Elves were more concerned with this little patch of trees than the hills or tundras that nearly cost him a toe and a foot.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Cog tried to collect any information in regards to the surroundings, things like cave entrances or civilizations from beyond the seas. In the end he only appeared to aggravate the Elf after inquiring as to how the Elves protected themselves. The markets were empty, where had the elves gone?
The Elf Cog interrogated took this far more threateningly than intended. We left at once when the bowyer started getting panicked.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Unknown potential threats occupied most of the roads out. Interestingly there was a strong stench of bugbats, reachers, magma crabs and crundles in addition to Elf. Something weird was going on and it gave the trio the confusion needed to escape unnoticed into the north. Of note is that from the bowyer Cog also learned that many years ago a human called Nepe Burialallies made a journey to some elf land nearby, it seems we're not the only travelers!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Days and days went by across the wilderness with Cog's supplies of cooked turkey meat dwindling away. He even had to supplement his leaf collection with local ginko leaves, that seemed brewable enough.
Until at last...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
We blundered drunkenly into the end of the natural continent.
Now I just need to find a way across the ocean, or perhaps under it.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
There is a cave in the distance... I hope it is not flooded. With any luck the ocean will be frozen.

There are only two sure things in life: death and taxes and lists and poor arithmetic and overlong jokes and poor memory and probably a few more things.

I hate to think that the first thing Cog did upon finding an elf was pat him down and check his gender manually...)

I guess you can tell the gender of an elf from his/her voice. I think.

I'm not so sure that's true with elves... but anyway, gender is one thing, the screenshot described the type of clothes, and even the fabric type of his loincloth.


I really do love these forums wow this whole  though line was hilarious and justified.
