All had started out well. I left town and headed down the coast road. My plan was to follow the coast road south to the next city and see where things went for there. I decided to take my midday just off the road near to the sea. That will be the last time I make that mistake. While eating, the pelicans began to approach. I tried shooing them away but that didn't work, they just kept coming back. So I decided to try something with a bit more oomph. If you're going to cast magic missile at something, you'd better be damn sure it will hit them. I need to work on my aim.
The blast struck the ground next to one of the foul creatures and it seemed to take exception to my methods and began to attack me. At one point the blasted bird got ahold of my pack. I had to wrench it from it's beak. When I had it back, it nipped my fingers and arms before I managed to get off a good shot and blasted the cursed thing. So now I'm sitting beside my campfire patching up the cuts along my arms so they won't get infected. At least I've got some tasty fried meat to eat over the next couple of days, so it's not all bad.
If all goes well, I should be able to make the city in the next couple of days and I'll hopefully be able to find something interesting and fun to take my fancy. At the very least I need to find a way to make some more gold. Buying those supplies drained much of the money I got from father.
