Once again Sherry packed her bags. Food and other necessities stuffed in tights and then carried down to the stables and tied to the saddle. Once again, it was not quite as much food as she would like, but she had to make do with what she was given.
Her horse stomped and snorted as she went through motions. "Come on, boy," she said, "We've done this before. We can do it again." She looked the horse square in the face. "Just watch out for bees this time, would you?"
To be fair, Sherry should probably do a better job of watching out for bees, too.
"Okay," she sighed, climbing up into the saddle, "you ready?" Stan only snorted. "Good," Sherry laughed. "Time to go." She nudged the horse forward, and off they went.

Sherry sat in the saddle, well practiced by this time. She sat easily, rocking with the horse, perfectly comfortable. "I suppose that is one good thing about all of this questing," she said, patting Stan on the neck, "My riding has certainly improved." That pleased her greatly, considering riding was an essential skills for knights to have. They rode for hours, and sometimes in silence, sometimes with a small song to help the time pass. Sherry was a little surprised about how at ease she felt on the road now. Her first quest had been tense, she'd been afraid to go alone, but now she didn't even hesitate. She wondered for a moment what that Jake fellow might be up to. She might have wondered longer, but Stan gave a little whinny and Sherry heard the tell tale buzz of bees. "Stan, you know better!" What the horse may or may not have known was of little consequence. He simply took off at full speed down the road. Up a hill...and on the way down he stumbled. Sherry and horse both rolled and tumbled and rolled a bit more. Stan got to his feet first, and then set off at a canter in the direction of the castle. Sherry sat in the dirt and sighed. "At least he left the food again." The pack was a few feet away, dusty but there. Quote: Rolling a 3: You accidentally ride into a bees nest. BEEEEES.

She entered the forest on foot, as she had often done. She supposed it almost made it easier to navigate. It wouldn't do to have her horse hurting himself on a tree root or something. The forest was rather dark, after all. A few hours into the forest, she sat down for a small snack. Sherry had grown too comfortable, to sure of herself. So much time without incident left her complacent. She realized this when a massive spider crawled right up onto her lap. What it might have wanted she would never know. Sherry screamed, and jumped, and ran away. She left both the spider and her uneaten lunch behind.

The path this time was long. Very long. Her feet were sore and her legs hurt. But Sherry really didn't want to give up. Quote: Rolling a 5: Your horse gives up on you, running away.

She was sore, hungry, and starting to feel very ill. She could see the mountain in the distance. But it was too far. With a heavy heart, Sherry turned around.

Some bed rest and repacking later (the whole time thinking about what she could do better), Sherry decided she was ready to set out again. Perhaps because of her previous illness, she got the people in charge of rations to give her a little bit extra by way of food. "Okay, Stan. No bees. Let's go." She wasted no time getting out into that countryside. QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 28 YOUR HP: 30/30

As Stan went galloping over the far ridge, bees chasing after him, Sherry wondered if perhaps the bees were searching him out. Or, perhaps, the horse and the bees were in cahoots to get him out of work. Because once again, he had stepped on a bees nest. Once again, he had tossed her to the ground, and once again, the bees had chased Stan away. Sherry shook her head and lifted her pack onto her shoulder. With a sigh, she set off down the path.

The forest seemed even darker than last time. Sherry walked quickly, wanting to get out of it as soon as possible. She remembered that spider just crawling right into her lap and she didn't want to relive it. She only sopped to eat when she couldn't put it off any more. She kept an eye out for spiders, though. It was a good thing she did, too, because sure enough, a huge spider made a beeline for her. Sherry tossed her stalest bread at it and ran. She wanted nothing to do with the spider.

The path was just as long as Sherry remembered. She cursed her horse for running of with the bees. With every step she took it seemed more likely that he and the bees had planned the whole thing. Sherry sighed. That was a vindictive thought, and not very knightly. She really should feel bad for the horse, he had probably been stung quite a lot. Another sigh, and Sherry trudged on.

But there it was. The hill. And she was nearly done. Tired and sore, but nearly there. She couldn't stop it, she couldn't hold it back. She let out a yell of victory. There was a rumble, and some sliding, and when the world stopped moving Sherry was on her back staring at the sky, several feet down from where she had been seconds ago. After several minutes, Sherry stood, brushed herself off, and continued up the hill. That was what knight would do. Not give up, especially when the goal was obtainable. And there it was. She grabbed the helmet, and very carefully went back down the hill. After that, there would be a fair bit of walking but then she'd be home again.
