What a day...

Hanahime has green tipped feathers...

He was in a very good mood today. The chocobo trainer told me Hime was in excellent condition for vigorous physical and mental training. But being that he is only 20 days old, there are not many training options. Hime listened as I chatted with him. We also went on a short walk today in Gustaburg. He was very joyful as I watched over him.


Training

I now can Bash. While taking the orphan boy on the little tour I got to level 14. Took me a while to get to the trainer because I found many herbs on the way there. A few animals attacked me as I wandered in the forest. They met my Wrath and did not live long.



Breaking Stone

A while ago I spoke to Horatius, he asked for a stone that could be found in Dangruf Wadi. I rented a chocobo and headed out to Dangruf wadi. I walked around enjoying the hot springs and riding the water spouts. I came across an odd image carved on the wall. And when I looked closer I found a red stone.

This stone is said to be the coagulated blood of a great galka warrior. Eww... Maybe he ran into this wall while running from a goblin and left the imprint in the stone wall? Or maybe he was lost in Wadi and sat here banging his head in desperation. Either way it is a stone made of blood and is considered a precious stone. Horatius has a small part of his collection on display that he looks at everyday. I'm sure he will enjoy looking at this pretty red stone.

Since I was in Wadi with no swimsuit to enjoy the hot spring ponds I decided to kill a few bunnies. Just in case Hime ever gets injured I will have some Gausebit wildgrass to feed him to cure his wounds.

I have been carrying a great sword for a while now. Yet this was the first time I used it. When I first started my life as a warrior I used a regular sword and shield, I have switched to an axe(with shield.) So this large sword was a bit heavier than the weapons I have been using. I learned my first weapon skill on great sword, Hard slash. My combat skills still needs work. But practice, practice, practice... more bunnies await my blade.

The wadi hares don't like it when you kill their friends. I was fighting one bunny when a second one came along and started attacking me. Bunnies, bunnies, they are no match for my blade. They fell one by one. The goblins in there were walking by me, watching me I suppose. I took a small break to rest, all that swing of the heavy great sword and being kicked by rabbits is very tiring, while I rested behind a boulder, a goblin saw me. He quickly made his way to me to attack. His friend came around from the other side of the boulder, casting bio and poison on me. I switched to my axe and shield and quickly defeated them. I got a bit of gil off them. Next time I'll have to keep an eye on those goblins. They sit and watch and wait... but I'm ready for them!

I'll have to get a great sword sometime these great weapons are nice. The blade of my sword goes from my shoulder to my ankles. Next time out I think I will try my hand with a polearm. I carry a brass spear +1, but have never used it in combat.

I guess dinner tonight is bunny steak. Mmmmm... Fire up the grill!! Or maybe I should make some bunny stew. I'll have to go shopping for some bread. I can have a grilled bunny sandwich. Ooooh I'm starting to feel hungry now.
