Trojan Horse
There is an interesting aspect to traveling with an enchantress. They seem to be quite impatient, and some mighty strange stuff can occur when they decide they want something now.
Elva blew my horse up, and didn't even ask me first! No no, she didn't call a ball of fire, she made it HUGE! Just like I got to be really huge, she made the horse giant. She had me rig up a harness from the rope I had so it could pull the cart.
Man did it fly! Whoever thought that making a horse's stride twice as long would make it travel twice as fast.
I guess that much meat was more then the local wolves could ignore, as we attracted a following. by the end of the day, only 4 wolves had managed to keep up. Being that they where desperate enough to follow 4 people, Cal felt it prudent to set out our bear traps over night to possibly deter or prevent them from entering camp.
I must say, for a city folk, he makes sense sometimes. He caught 3 of them over night. Quite dramatically too, I might add!
In the morning, I decided to track the 4th one for a ways, to see if we had ran it off for good or not. You would never believe it, but I tracked it right around camp and directly into it! Here, this wolf was so desperate for food, it snuck into camp in the middle of the night, and started rummaging around in our cart.
It looks like it hadn't expected Elva though. She caught it unawares on her way to the cart for bed, and she spelled it to sleep.
I managed to put a rope around it and tied it to the back of the cart short enough that it can't reach our gear and tear it up. I then brought over some food for it. It has obviously gotten over a lot of it's fear of humans, so I am thinking I might be able to tame it enough that we can use it for hunting and night guard.
I hope I didn't leash a monster...
