Day 90 continued, We paid the Indians a small fee to take their ferry across the deep river. Much better to splash out a little and avoid the risk of drowning.



Day 91, The three of us were scrambling our way through the muddy bank on the far side of the river when Valar started to freak out. He started screaming like a dieing eagle, and struggling around in the mud. He screeched of frog demons hiding in the mud. How they were trying to pull him in. In his flailing he smashed his leg against a rock embedded in the mud. I had to go back and pull him out myself as I didn't want Goron's bite wound to become infected. When I pulled him out, we could clearly see he had broken it in the struggle. We bandaged the poor guy's leg as best we could then set off for the next landmark.


Day 95, we ran out of water again and were forced to drink from another effluent stream. I knew it was going to be bad, and I can feel my body complaining. Ehh, at least some liquid is better than no liquid. All three of us are in no condition to continue, yet continue we must.



Day 98, Goron's wound seems to have healed over, and he tells me he is feeling much better. I let him take over the leading the oxen for a while, as I needed the rest.

I wake from my rest to find the trail we were traveling along is no where in site. I asked Goron, about this, and he tells me he is taking a shortcut. I ask him how he knows of such a shortcut if he has never been this way before. He shrugs and just tells me that it will be alright, his gut instinct hasn't let him down yet... Damn that Goron, I can't leave him in charge for a couple of hours without something terrible happening.


Day 104, After 6 days of searching for the trail again we finally find ourselves back on it. Unfortunately, Goron trying to prove he wasn't completely useless tried again to catch a snake. He came back with another snake bite... When will he learn that things don't always go the way you want them to.

Day 107, We arrived at soda stream pleased to find a whole lot of fresh water and a bit of company.

Our health is much to poor to continue on as we are so I figured we should rest for 9 days.


Day 117, The rest was much needed, our health is back up to standard, Goron's snake bite has healed up and we are all feeling energised and ready to go.


Day 118, We set off into strong winds today, our speed has slowed greatly, perhaps we should pick up a faster pace now that we are healthy again.


Day 121, Valar's leg seems to have healed enough for him to walk on it. Things seem to be getting much better for us.


Day 123, We arrived at Fort Hall, we didn't really have enough meat to sell and we were well stocked so we carried on through.

But not before chatting to another who traveled the trail in front of us. Hmm, I don't like the sound of this Snake river.

Day 124, Oops, I don't know what I was thinking, I accidentally lit our spare clothes on fire trying to dry them out. I thought I could make life on the trail more comfortable with some clean clothes... Oh well. Our canteens were also burnt up with the clothes so we were forced to drink poor water again. At least the water isn't as bad as previous mixes.


Day 125, Grr delayed again. Ah well at least we can spend this time waiting for the trail to clear by doing some hunting.


Day 132, All this waiting has got me frustrated, we must get to Oregon as soon as possible. Traveling at this slow but steady speed it wil take all year to reach our destination. I have decided we are fit enough again to speed up a little.



Day 136, God dammit not again. the bridge over a small cannon is down, we need to fix it up before we can get the wagon across. Enough with these delays already. Ah, well Goron reminded me at least we are much better of then we were a couple of weeks ago.


Day 148, Oh Goron you fool. When must you learn. He was bitten by a snake... Again. I really wonder what his upbringing must have been like. Maybe his mother encouraged this sort of optimistic yet foolhardy behavior, but I certainly don't.


Day 150, The three of us arrived at Snake river this morning.

This river is looking pretty daunting, let's hope, the Indians around here run a ferry service. Oh it appears we can trade some of our spare clothes for safe passage. Luckily enough I brought some spare clothes along with... oh shit.

The fire! How could I have burned up our spare clothes. We need those for bartering a crossing. Oh how fate laughs at us. I tried offering the Indian money, our meat, anything else we could possible give. But he refused, he really wanted those three sets of clothes.

Anyways, I suppose our only options now are to ford this thing or to cork the wagon and float across it. I will have to let Goron and Valar help make the decision as their lives are also at stake.

Use the trade button to trade them extra tongues for some clothes.

[E. Albright]

What I believe mainiac is trying to say is that you fellas need to use your tongues to get the clothes off them. It's a pity you can't just go the easy route, and use your meat to reach a mutually desirable arrangement, but if a tongue or two is more to their liking, what can ya do?

Also, I say we float across.

[Spartan 117]

We should try the tongue thing, or float it.

[mainiac]

And if your tongues don't cut it, you need to completely expose yourself.  Show off your equipment to everyone around and I'm sure someone will get excited by what you're packing.

[Sensei]

You're too good at that.

Anyway, six feet deep is too deep to ford safely and 1000 feet is too far to caulk safely (I think that's how it works, caulking mostly ignores depth and fording mostly ignore length). So yeah, buy some clothes off the indians and then sell them the clothes back, proving to everyone that indians are retarded.

[mainiac]

But don't give the clothes back until you get smallpox on 'em!

[Rilder]

Camp out till the Indians are rounded up into reservations.

Ahhh, I vote for that then.

[Spartan 117]

Let's give those Indians a good tongueing, to get those clothes off them. We can take clothes from men or women, I'm not picky when it comes to selling my tongues. Or my meat.

Usually only men will sell me their meat, so when there are none I need to turn to animals to take care of my need for meat. It's rare to find a woman selling her meat. It seems most women just don't have meat.

Just show off all of your tasty, tasty meat. Your giant slabs of venison. Your beautiful, succulent, plentiful... I'll shut up now.

I say we float, remember what happened last time?
We'll miss you Toady...

[Sensei]

Don't put your package in. Just skim it across. In fact, have someone skim it over for you. That should keep you nice and safe, and make sure you still have fresh meat for next time. Nobody likes soggy meat.
