55 - Ogre hunt is tomorrow.
[email protected]
Something else awful happened yesterday. I'm not
going to write about that in here, but suffice to
say that it's forced our hand with the ogre
problem. We wanted to work on the monitoring, try
to carefully co-exist and all that, but it's all
out the window now, and we're going to hustle up
with the hunt. It's going down tomorrow morning.
Old Hat brings out this big whiteboard on wheels
she used to use at the college, and we all mask up
and stand around it by the crocus patch to figure
this out. Lot of dotted lines, lots of arrows,
lots of X's, and one big O. It's going to be the
usual - draw it out to chase us, and then surround
it, like we're a bunch of coyotes. But it takes
some co-ordination for sure. And we only have like
two guns that still work. My crossbow doesn't work
any more.
And someone had this bright idea of inviting a
couple of centaurs along to help. I know those two
a bit, and I don't trust either one further than I
can throw them, and that's not very far. I have a
bad feeling about it.
You'd think with what I've lost to ogres, that I'd
be all in on this stuff and leading the pack. And
given what happened yesterday, even more so. But I
know some things about ogres that maybe some
others don't, and it makes this job harder. And
it's dangerous, too. Last time around, Aya broke
her leg and Theo got killed before we brought it
down. And I think we're getting better at this,
but anything can happen.
I hope we have some luck.
