I use this to make pointless notes so I don't lose things. That's all.

I figured it would be safest if I spent the shortest time with Carl.
Don't tell him that.


Airship Name:
The Magificent Elk
It was the only name Carl approved of.

Crew Members (In order) :

I decided to bring a strong crew.

B.A. Barracks
Chuck Norris
A Shotgun
The Incredible Hulk

Day Three:

An ogre waved me down to challenge me to an arm-wrestling contest.
I accepted.
On the verge of pinning me, the ogre was stung by a bee. I seized the opportunity and won.

Day Four to Six:

We Reached Ol' Respectable, and some voice in the sky said
"This venerable sequoia has withstood thousands of years of floods, forest fires and assassination attempts by radical anti-tree militants.
What would you like to do?"

The Crew and I decided to admire the tree and the it untouched
As we flew away we felt our luck improve.

After dashing into the trees moments before, Carl dragged back four dead vampires by their capes.
We carefully thanked Carl for saving us from the assassin vampires.

Forest or Desert
Carl regarded the fork in the road with dull-eyed incomprehension.
That voice spoke again

"It seems like one of these paths may be significantly more treacherous, but if you wanted help choosing, you shouldn't have picked an elk as your guide."
The crew and I initially decided to cut through the desert, but strong winds and a dodgy mouse turned us to go through the forest.
