BALI VERY IMPORTANT SHIP NOTES

Bali Notes – Bad Flower Day (WORSE NOW)

(Me, Djin, Bok Bok, Heron, and drunk bald Jim)

Bali see weird flower. Smell like death soup left in sun. Bali pick it. Goopy. Slimy like snail snot. But it no bite or sting. Just pfffff—little spore mist come out.

We keep walking through more flowers. LOTS. All stinky. All full of bad dust. Every time we step, they go POOF! and shoot stinky spores into Bali’s spore holes (nose holes? mouth holes? who know).

Bali feel dizzy. Legs wobbly. Brain soft like jelly. Try do flip—fall on face. Try beat Djin in race—LOSE. Shame!!

Then Bali see shiny in distance. SHINY = GO FAST. We run fast. Find more corpses. All wrapped up in BAD VINES. Like the vines eat people and then wear them like coats. Not nice. Not natural.

We get new friend! His name JIM. Bald. Drunk. Yell a lot. Funny. Came from ship too. Now we got Djin and Jim. Bali confuse. Too many J-sound men. Djin not like Jim. Jim not care. Jim got wine breath and good boots.

THEN… BALI NEARLY DIE. Corpse flower explode. Right in Bali’s FACE. Spores go in mouth. Tasted like rotted socks in old stew. Stomach twist worse than Bok Bok’s cooking (and Bok Bok once made fish with teeth still in).

Bali fall to ground. Hurt bad. Can’t breathe. Can’t think. Jungle say “YOU DIE NOW.” But Heron say “NO.” He use magic hands. Light hands. He say, “The forest has taken much—let the jungle give back.”

Bali come back. Still coughing. Still taste dead flower guts. But alive. ALIVE!

Bali Thought:

Heron is good. Jungle is bad. Corpse flowers are ENEMY. This place is awful. No more sniffing flowers. Only punching.

 Cuk Town (real name Briahwatch but no one care):

Dream Trouble

Djin smash my dream boats again. We twins, so we share dreams. He always break mine. I always throw boats at his. Is fair.

Jim Madness

I punch Jim in face—one gold fall out. He say that normal. Humans very weird.

Painted Orc Tavern

Look like home! Then—JIM BRING CURSED COINS! Ghost coins! We give curse to Bok Bok (sorry Bok Bok) but he too strong, he BREAK CURSE. Bok Bok strongest dragon I ever know.

ARM WRESTLE QUEEN

I win all matches! Pub cheer! Then pub… ON FIRE!? CURSE SPREAD!

Town is CURSED

• Tower burn
• Wood not burn
• Food go sour
• Birds fall down dead
• Fish say “no thank” and jump from nets
  Very bad. Druid said beast in harbor. Waiting for ship. Spooky.

Sewer Hunt!

We chase lizardy boys into stink hole. Bok Bok use sticky trap—caught them! He so smart. We find many junk. I keep lizard hand. For reasons.

Gift for Heron

Heron saved me from death bush. So I give him lizard hand. He like it? Unsure.

Alley Fight!

Orc bully elf. Not fair. So we help.

I chop off one head. Then another. TWO HEADS!

Also I find elf ear. Give that to Heron too. He got two gifts today. Heron lucky.

End Notes:

Cuk Town full of curses, ghosts, and fire.

I love it here.

Bali Notes – BOAT DAY (Good Boat Day… BETTER BLOOD DAY)

We in little row boat. Bok Bok try be captain. Bok Bok BAD at yelling “ROW!” — voice like sick goat. Djin and me yell better. We yell so loud wind scared and push boat faster. We strong. Boat strong. Orc strong.

We row to big boat. Big boat in trouble. Stuck in sharp rock teeth. Boat name Trullero. Fancy name, stupid place to park.

We smash oars into water, get close. Then we see… ANOTHER boat! This one upside down, like fish belly in sun. James say, “I go look.” James poke at boat. BOOM! Boat flip over like angry turtle and—LIZARD MEN crawl out!

Djin and Heron not here. They gone back before lizard men show, rowing to save sailor men from rock death. Good brother. Good Heron. Bad timing.

Lizard men hiss and spit. They wave pointy sticks. They say, “Lay down weapons.”

HA! I AM weapon! I kill for Gruumsh! BLOOD FOR GREAT ONE-EYED GOD!

I roar, charge, smash! Des and Troy (Bali point at mighty biceps) sing death song. Lizard men try to fight but they slow, weak, smell like wet swamp sock. I rip them down, chop them up. Take their hands for Heron’s weird hand collection. (He never say why. I never ask.)

Water turn red. Gruumsh smile big today.

Crab people from before still dead. Crab meat still ours. Will eat later. Will eat with hands I still got. Not lizard hands. That be weird.

Bali OUT. BLOOD FOR GRUUMSH!

One Lizard man have bad mouth, it open many more than other lizard mouth. Bali keep both heads to show Heron and Djin. Bali have four hands and two heads to show Heron. I give best gifts. 

We got new ship!
