We departed on our journey on the morning of 2 Chac. Ham gave an inspiring speech.
We traveled along the river to Trinity. It took 3 days. Then we continued up the river.
While we were traveling, we encountered some large creatures with gray skin that threw boulders at us. They had a mountain lion helping them. We eventually figured out that they were trolls.
We crested the mountain the next day on 9 Chac and started descending toward the desert. A creature ambushed us and killed one of our horses - it was scaly and blended into the terrain. The spikes allowed the creature to store up energy that it could release in a burst. Gan decided to call it a hodag. It very nearly killed me.
