After crossing the river in the middle of the afternoon, the adventurers introduced themselves to us. Well, except me.
Where am I? I'm inside the bag of my mother. I poked 2 holes on the side of it, wore wet cold shirt and short. I have hugging a huge berry juice wood container inside, using a thin bamboo straw to drink. I might get sick from this but it's better than missing the action.
"Hi, I'm Jake, our party leader. I'm a warrior by the way. Beside me is David, our healer and Royce, our long range fighter. I presume you finished the initial training? What do you do when in danger?"
"Run away to town." My family exclaimed together.
"Exactly. Run away to town. What is the next rule?"
"Memorize the path going to town." Mother said.
"Good job. There is a 80 percent chance of surviving an encounter if you run away. That is, if your not ambushed. That's the other 20 percent." Jake said.
("What are you here really for?") Jake whispered.
("We are here to gather paralyzing agents for rescue operations.") Father said.
"Right. David our healer will point you to the things that you are looking for. David?"
David looks like a young man just fresh out of puberty. He approached my parents while Jake and Royce scout the surrounding area.
"Hi, I'm David. We will walk around the forest and I will point the animals and plants that can cause paralysis. i would advise getting plants for now as they are easier to carry." David said.
After walking around, we found some mushrooms underneath a tree.
"This is a Folm." David said.
"They can cause paralysis if eaten and their top layer can also paralyze. Boiling them neutralize the paralying toxin so that they can be eaten if you want."
Father took out a small wood basket from his backpack and filled it with Folm mushrooms.
David then proceeded to lead the way while looking at the trees, looking for something.
He stopped and pointed at a tree.
"Do you see that? That's a Jinji, a poisonous tree frog. It has violet and black botches on it's back. It can paralyze you if you touch it. If fully grown, it turns to all black. If you touch it when fully grown, you will get paralyzed, dizzy, vomit, go into coma and die. Eating the leaves of a Foyer plant early will get rid of the toxin and save your life. Let's proceed and search for a Foyer plant. It may save your life in the future. The foyer plant can detoxify lots of poisons if you ever get poisoned." David continued.
We walked around and David found a tall plant with lots of straight leaves on its branches.
"Now, this this is a Foyer plant. Touch it's leaves so you would know how it feels like. There is another plant that resembles this but not at potent as this. The Foyer plant has thicker leaves. I recommend taking some small Foyer plants down there and planting it in your backyard."
When we touch the leaves, the leaves feels thick and fleshy. My parents and vi gathered three of them, wet the roots with water and covered the roots with wet cloths and put them in another small basket.
"Now, we can search for a type of yellow rose we call Mellows down this parts that has some paralyzing thorns. If we continue south, we might encounter some dangerous animals or creatures. I cannot guarantee your safety if that happens. Do you want to continue?" Jake asked.
My parents looked at each other. Safety first.
"No." Let's head back. We have what we need. Father said. "It's better be safe, than sorry."
Jake smiled. "Ah, sticking to the rules I see. Let's head back then. Royce, David, let's go."
After walking for 20 minutes, we see the river side. It's the deep part of the river, so we would need to walk a little bit further to the north to get to the shallower area.
""Aha! Look! I found it!" David shouting to the group.
We looked at David kneeling towards something.
Fwip! We heard a whizzing sound, a sound familiar to me. An arrow is shot.
"Ambush!" Jake said. " Formations everybody!"
"David! In the middle position!"
David is not moving. He then falls sideway to the ground, an arrow stuck to his belly.
"David!" Jake raised his shield as more arrows whizzed around us.
(Oh boy, I guess this is the 20 percent.)
