Ashley Embers and his gang, followers of Nic O Demon, decided to attack the caravan this morning. They were trying to knock everyone off their camel and shove tar and nicotine in their face. What a disgusting and cowardly attack!
Myself and several others dismounted and kicked some nico-butt. There wasn't much left of them when we were through. We drug their smelly carcasses out into the sands and left them for the scavengers. I am not sure if even they will want those guys though, as they smell terrible!!!!!
I received a message from the Old Goat and the Sheik this morning. They are both searching for warriors to protect the camps and oasis. They have heard the same rumors that I have, I guess. Nicodemon is recruiting heavily. He has lost many followers in his attacks on our camp and the caravan. I guess he will never learn.
Up until now, the journey has been smooth and pleasant. Everyone has been trying to adjust to riding camels. Once you get into the rolling motion of their gait, it is really easy and enjoyable. Kind of like being in your old rocking chair.
We should be arriving at the first oasis this evening. I will be reminding everyone about the dangers of the trail from Nicodemon and his allies. They will stop at nothing to pull someone back into their clutches. Don't fall for their tricks fellow travelers.
The stone the Old Goat gave me is still hanging from my camel's neck. The words are clearly visible. I refer everyone to them daily. Keep Them Away From Your Face.
Remember always. One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.
Hugs and love to everyone on their journey.
