Carli was just popping in for a quick drink at the Tiki Bar before heading back to the beach. Maybe she could get one with a cute little umbrella?

crossing the snake pit

“Maybe I shoulda left that rotten orange alone,” muttered Bruce. “Haven’t seen snakes this bad since the Pi Upsilon Kappa Eta¹ days.”

¹Yeah, it’s infantile. Frat-like, you could say.

ignoring the human

You’re not here. If I don’t see you, you don’t exist. But for FSM’s sake, could you maybe wash your feet?

A heavy supply wagon makes is slow way through the mountain passes. Two bloodied guards are all that are left after an earlier bandit attack.

where's my skritch?

crossing the boulder field

One of the red slugs (Arion rufus) that inhabit the druid labs front yard. That darker indentation is the pneumostome, the slug’s breathing hole. It’s partially open, meaning the slug is about halfway through an inhale or exhale.

The remnants of the World War II bomber Betsy Jo wait in the parts yard. With luck, an avid WWII aviation buff will come through and decide to rebuild her.
