Retraining, Howling Woods (Anheim's Tale).

Howling Woods Fight.


i've trained in howling woods, namely:

- concentration during the fight,
- discipline with weapon use,
- tumbling & acrobatic moves during combat,
- toughness,
- stunning fist method,
- atemi,
- resistances to various mental, verbal & physical attacks,
- fearlessness,
- i forgot details & what else ...

outside woods i've practiced arrow deflection.

this all will have to be practiced constantly.

other things to come include:

- much more of the toughness of the precious warrior's body,
- defensive fighting, unarmed, dagger & katana swordplay,
- more discipline with weapons & general focus,
- running speed,
- guards & positions,
- still mind meditation practice.

Back in howling woods (Frances' Tale).

Back to Norwick.

Getting back into shape after visit in fugue can be slow.

I ended up in typical place for too weak for others to consider them seriously, in Howling Woods.

Keeping goblin population down is important and practiced as a way to train in combat ways.

I've used my bow, rapid firing and fast, so goblin spellyappers could not focus on their spells.

When it came to close combat i relied mostly on my staff, with more or less elaborate circular movements, but also on panther i've bought to compensate for loss of my ice mephit familiar. Perhaps i'll find him later.





Bowshooting.





Staff fighting.



More bowshooting.

Howling Woods (Anheim's tale).

I woke up early today, strange is it not?

Checked material possessions for boat ticket, and found, few boat rides to Norwick.

"very well... i'll get back in shape someday... If i live."

Boat ride was not too long, i passed quickly farm boy who spat and cursed as i went.

"To gate, to howling woods..." i thought... then this woman in colors of wood appeared, i wasn't able to be suprised or show it.

Norwick gate, outskirts of Rawlins, few goblin kills then deeper.. into Howling Woods, name well deserved. I heard them when they ran toward me, wolves. Used magic tricks to protect myself and kill alpha with aid of dancing knife sign.

So bad shape... i didn't clear whole area before i had to retreat. From wounds.

I returned. Will sleep outside gate for in Norwick they do not love me. Thankfully i have ability for lucid dreaming, i'll start fire and do rest.

... goodnight dear journal.
