we go to the thick, dense, Feerott.. to be more spacific a river, to be even more spacfic on the bottom of it....We find our young Elven squire swimming through the disgusting water, ignoring the young pharana's trying to chew through his armor, you may ask your self why one would do this, instead of walking...well it appears ogres, arent big fan's of elv's and although a strong warrior and a good fight is no match for the long experianced ogre bouncers of oggok ( not yet), finnally he came to the point where his friend knitewind instructed him to get out of the water... So he got out on the muddy river bank, and he coughed out the muddy water and peeled the leechs from his armor and face.. as he got up, he saw the road he was supposed to be on, and he started walking through the tree's he saw enourmous yellow spiders that he never saw before, much bigger then the ones at home in the Greater Faydark, then He heard a hissing screech and a yalp, he felt a strange erge to chekck it out, and being the elven imp that he is he did, he peeked around a large tree, and saw a ogre bouncer picking off a small lizard creature, the massive ogre cleaned its blade, looked up and saw the horn from sharpear's helmet from behind the tree, and started a charge, realizeing a large ogre was pumbaling towards him, sharp....ran, as fast as his legs could take him, the ogre swinging a club behind him, bash sharpear a few times, knocking the breath out of him, but then he saw the hills and then the canyon towards the rathe moutains he ran up the hills, where the ogre could not follow, the ogre tried to climb but his own weight prevented it, then the ogre lashed out throwing stones, and yelling in ogre, something but im sure it wasn't nice. Sharp got up, beaten and bruised,....limping down the hill, he sat down makeing sure not hurt his leg anymore then it was, then a laugh came out of a darkened corner, and out came knitewind! Sharpear thanked tunare he was in the right place......the paladin healed sharpear, and took him where he was supposed to be, hunting Hill giants, knightwind unfortunatly had to go......But did establish sharp with a group, Sharp sat inbetween the halfling and the barbarian, laughed at the sizes ( small medium and large), then the human who was in the group, threw a knife at a passing Hill giant, The massive monster, came pumbaling toward him, and was reminded of something ,but he couldent quite pin point it , as the giants blade came dagerously close to his head, sharp jumped into battle, spinning while holding his wurmslayer almost parrellel to his straightened arm, driving the end of the blade straight into the beasts Knee, it yelled out a yelp, and the others began hacking away at its limbs, sharp took,his sword and drove it straight into its legs parralizeing the beast, and then the halfling let out a HUGE shock of force, knocking the giant off its feet, and blew the sword out of sharps hand. The halfling beamed a boasting smile, at sharpear, apparently it was sharpear's loot, he was amazed to find a fine steel long sword a lambant stone and 50 platnium pieces, sharp knew he had found his place here. Days had passed groups have gone buy ... His wife Camilea, had joined him today, they grouped with a huge ogre, but the ogre had a boasting mouth on how wood elvs will never make as good warriors as the almightee ogres..Sharp tried to avoid a fight, becomeing wise as he was on his way to knight hood, and doing as his Head Knight norielynn instructed him so, but his wife was not a knight, and she had all she can stand, her and the ogre got into a fight, and the ogre knocked how to the ground, uncounscious she lyed there, as the evil ogre, laughed, sharpear became enraged and took out his new weapon ( a elderwolfe's jawbone a strong r shaped jagged bone) because the wurmslayer would be clumsy and is meant for bigger targets then a ogre, sharp went rageing into to battle hacking at the large ogre with 2 swords who is having trouble blocking all sharpear's shots, sharpear then made his first disarm using the r shaped jawbone which was hooked around the sword! He cured it and by force bent the sword out of the ogres grip! sharp kicked the sword away now sharpear had a bigger advantage over the massive beast, sharpear then drove the jawbone into the ogres stomach ripping through the armor and into the flesh, sharpear was in a berzerker frenzy landing a critical blow...The boasting ogre who was apparently unexperianced in the art of war, lye weak on the floor, much like his last victim.... The ogre begged sharpear not to kill him, and sharp, stoped his attack , realizeing the ogre was not worth it and probably learned his lesson, sharp but now has his own lesson to learn, being a knights apprentice, made a wise move on not kileld the unworthy ogre, but wondering if it was wise to attack in the first place purely out of vengence and anger, he realized he has alot to learn but he is getting there... he banished the ogre from his group, the ogre left the rathe moutain, makeing sharpear the winner of the duel, sharpear imediatly attended to his wife doing all he could do binding her wouns and the druid healed her, to complete health.....they went on killing giants replaceing the ogre with a friendly barbarian who happened to like wood elvs for agility. =) Sharpear and camilea went back to freeport and rented a hotel room, to eat, mend, and rest.

Great story!
I can think of no greater honor then to defend your wife against a bully.
Your letting the braggart have his life was most honorable also.
You will be a great addition to the Round Table.

In the morning, as he washes up tring to be quite for his wife is still sleeping, Sharpear cleans up and heads for the door to get his wife and himself some breakfast.

(Knock, Knock) There is 2 loud knocks at the door.

Looking quickly at his wife, she mearly rolls over, still asleep. Releaved, Sharpear opens the door and his face drops in shock. In the doorway stands a familiar Ogre, seems that the warrior was some how found the inexpecting Elf. Sharpear's head races, as he tring to think of what he's going to do, unarmed, and unprepared. Before he has a chance to think of the anything the Ogre speaks up.

"Do not be alarmed.....I......I only wanted to apologize for my actions the other day, I am sorry and hope your friend is alright" The Ogre states

"She is my wife!" Sharpear says in anger

The Ogre lowers his head and walks away down the hall. Watching the Ogre walk down the hall, he passes Knitewind leaning against the wall who pats him on the shoulder as the Ogre walks by and down the stairs. Shocked, and confused at Knitewinds appearance he stands there for a minute. Seeing the confusion on Sharpears face, Knitewind smiles ans walks toward his friend.

"Dont look so surprized my friend, all Ogres are not completely evil or as dumb as u think" Knitewind states

"But...how did he find...and u patted him on the shoulder..I?!" replies confused

Knitewind laughs and puts his hand on his friends shoulder.

"I was on my way back to Rathe Mountains when I came across our ogre friend, injured not only in body but in mind as well, for a elf had nearly killed him in a fight. His Ego was crushed as his battered body. I encouraged the Ogre to apoligize for one day he may need your help, and having you or any elf as an enemy is not a good thing to have" Knitewind explains

Knitewind walks past his friend closing the door, seeing someone asleep in bed.

"Plus, in my travels I have met alot of people, and seem to be known by more people then I think, for he knows me, his name is Ugg, he is proud of being and Ogre warrior, and sometimes lets that get to his head. You should be glad he is not truly evil or your wife might have been worse off." Knitewind points out

Absorbing everything, Sharpear stands there thinking.

"Come, u must be hungry my friend, let me buy u breakfast and we can talk some more. Knitewind says with a grin

Patting Sharpear on the back, Knitewind walks by smiling at his young friend.

Thank you, both of you, for your story.

It is good to see the Striders Inn being used so much.

Fine adventure! And a tale well told.

My thanks for your contribution. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
