Exploration

Now that me and Tara had some decent weapons and armor, it was time for us to do a little exploring. We decided to explore north of Felicia.


"What do you think of the two-handed sword, Tara?" I asked. "Do you like it better than the longsword?"


"It's heavier, but since I'm not carrying a shield, I think it might be a nice alternative to my bow," she replied. "We'll see how well it works when we get into combat,"


"Sounds good," I said. "Alright let's continue moving up this hill."



Me and Tara continued moving up the hill, and then we encountered another one of those giant spiders. This time it wasn't so bad though because there was only one, and me and Tara had better equipment this time around. I blocked the giant spider's attacks with my shield while slashing it with my sword, and Tara fired several arrows into it. The spider didn't last too long.



After putting an end to the giant spider's life, me and Tara continued to explore the area. We came across what appeared to look like some kind of a village, but we decided to stay away from it because it was most likely populated with bandits that would have attacked us.


"I think it was a good idea to stay away from that village," I said to Tara. "Surely, we would have been attacked."


"I agree," Tara replied. "I wonder if we'll ever encounter anyone who is not hostile."


I crossed my arms and looked into the distance. "If we do, I sure hope they got some good booze to share!"


"I'll be honest, Ricky," Tara said. "I wouldn't mind having a nice cold vodka and orange juice right now myself."


"Hah!" I said as I laughed. "So, you are getting a little thirsty after all!?"


Tara winked at me. "Yuppers!"



Me and Tara continued to explore the area and ended up running into another giant spider. Shortly after taking out the spider, a giant alligator attacked us. Tara kept her range and fired arrows into it, and I was in the front slicing it apart with my sword. We slew the gator pretty quickly.




Me and Tara walked a little way down the same path that we were taking, and we saw a giant spider attacking a suspected bandit near what looked like an outpost. The bandit and the spider noticed us watching them, and then they immediately came rushing at us. Me and Tara readied ourselves for combat. The bandit began to attack me while the spider engaged Tara. I quickly put an end to the bandit's life with my blade, and then I helped Tara slay the giant spider.


"Now, that was something, Tara," I said. "First the bandit was fighting with the giant spider, and then they teamed up against us."


"Yeah, that was quite interesting," she replied. "I guess both the people and creatures of this time and world must really not like us being here."


"By the way, you did pretty good with that two-handed sword," I said to Tara.


"Thanks, Ricky," she replied. "I kind of like using it actually."




After talking for a bit, me and Tara made our way close to the outpost. As expected, we were attacked by a couple of bandits, and these ones actually spoke English. Tara kept her distance and was firing arrows at them with her bow, and I was fighting them off with my sword. As the fight went on, they were saying strange things such as, "Yog will have your soul." I guess that must be some kind of a God that they believe in. Anyways, me and Tara put an end to the bandits and decided to search the outpost.




As me and Tara were searching the outpost, we were confronted and attacked by some crazy guy in what looked like a voodoo mask. He landed a few strikes on me with his sword, but me and Tara quickly put an end to his life.


"These people are just crazy," I said to Tara.


"They're definitely not civilized that's for sure," she replied.


"I think we did enough exploring for one day," I said. "Do you wanna head back to Felicia now?"


"Yeah, let's go back," Tara replied.



Me and Tara were making our way back to Felicia, and we ended up running into a couple of giant turtles and a giant alligator. They put up a fight, but me and Tara defeated them.



By the time me and Tara made it back to Felicia, night was beginning to fall upon us.


"Well, we sure got to see a lot today," I said to Tara. "Why don't we get some rest?"


"Yeah, I'm getting a little tired myself," she replied. "After we get a bit of sleep, maybe we should continue searching for Genevieve, Stephon, and Brian."


"Sounds like a plan, Tara," I said.



Well, me and Tara are just heading to bed to get some sleep now. We're both pretty damn tired. All of the fighting and exploring that we did today has drained us. When we get up, we're gonna continue searching for our friends.
