Notes and Crap (entry twenty)

by Eligius Yami

So, it would seem their "Trial" was similar to that of a Rite of Passage for some oni clans. Things got pretty interesting during that time, and by interesting, pretty dangerous. So, there we were, being challenged to man a sand gliding ship, in search of a great hunt to prove our worth. Radegast at the wheel, Zahira, Gothmog and others were manning the sail and the like, and other Gerudo under the deck in case things went badly. To my surprise, we were also given other initiates that were becoming of age, going through these Rites. A spellcaster, one sword wielder, and it would seem a rather young Gerudo princess. She said something about needing to do this to prove her right to rule, understandable and respectable.
 
With our positions in place, and some fine gliding from Rad, we sailed out in this sandy sea, the initiates needing some motivation, mostly out of nervousness. I did what I could to steel their resolve to some effect. Not long after however, we came under attack...
 
Novia, since you ever so graciously hinge upon my every word in this journal, I want you to take a guess on what we fought. If you guessed a gigantic ravenous dune worm.... you'd be absolutely correct.
 
This dune worm seemed to be a good 150 meters long, dwarfing our ship by comparison. It was the hunter, and we were the prey. Only problem for the worm was it didn't expect us to put up fierce resistance. While Radegast was one handing his rifle and steering us clear of danger, Gothmog was chipping entire chunks off its hide, Solomon juicing up the cannons, I launching balls of fire from afar upon this beast. Unbenownst to me however, Zahira had a special concoction of spells that she was preparing to fell this creature... She lowered its fortitude with some mental magics, and unorthodoxically transformed this absolute behemoth into a small rabbit.
 
I know, you're probably scratching your head thinking "What in the Feywilds?", yeah, it in fact happened. We brought this beast back to their city and killed it in its rabbit form, which then transformed it back in a catonic state. You should have seen the look on their faces, sheer shock: the mother of all Dune Worms felled by outsiders! Well that gave us access to their city while we discussed plans or gathered info on the Storm Riders. More to follow, I'll be sure to get you some conductive gold for your magic tests since you love to test those things. Consider it my souvenir for this place.
