Welcome to Cove

Leaning back in her comfy chair Mela shuffled through a huge wad of papers on her desk. Only one caught her eye, which she quickly pulled from the rest. 'Ahh, Amy needs her Watchman trials it seems.' Mela paused and sipped some tea from her mug before taking up her favourite quill and writing. Lifting the paper finally she below the ink dry. 'There, show us what your made of Marsteller.'

Keeping track
When you finally become a Scout your tasks will include writing a list (with paintings) of set locations of all the beasts which roam. Recently the Covian desert (just passed Altmere) has been overrun with beasts. I'm not sure how long the beasts shall remain so you need to do this task quick.

Task:
Travel to Altmere desert on your own and make a list of the monsters which are currently present there. Include a painting of each beast.

Conditions:

• This task must be done on your own.
• One picture must be provided for each monster documented
• A safe point in the desert must be located and points made to why the safe point is actually safe.
• A report of your journey, as well as the monster list must be posted below

(Solo based task)

Task two:
Taking on the desert! Mmh, what fun for me... solo in a Desert. As to help keep alive over this expedition I packed several canteens of water, and travelled mostly at night, so that I will not feel the full strike of the sun. Though, in the night more creatures seem to roam. Here is a list of what creatures I have found, and documented.

Creatures:
*Big Scorpion
*Lizard man
*Troll
*Ettin
*Cyclopse
*Enchanted Poison blob
*Enchanted metals including (but not limited to):
   -Shadow Iron
   -Dull Copper
   -Gold
   -Verite
   -Valorite
*Enchanted winds and sand.
*Ogre
*Titan
*Harpy
*Miscellaneous snakes

Safe area:
As I tracked through the desert... dodging certain death by random mobs of monsters I relized I hated the desert and figured the safest place would be at home with a ale. But, with lacking both home and ale in the desert I assumed I would have to find shelter. Throughout the desert there were a few places that inspired some hope as in survival... with my quickly emptying canteens I had to find water somewhere. Becuase I such a amazing person I found this ater right away. (must have been luck really) The water was a sort-of pond which must be fed by some sort of underground stream.... or something (for it was straight in the middle of the desert) But, it seemed the water was still. It is never a good idea to drink from still water unless it is a dire situation. But, if need be... it would be best to filter the water using a clean-tightly-woven cloth, like a bandage before drinking.

After the boost and morale from finding the water... I was inspired to find that "safe" place... (really it was I wanted to go home a grab a ale... but ehh) Searching over the mountains I couldn't spot any caves.. which would be ideal for shelter... if it were lacking snakes. With a lacking of caves... the best I could find was a small concaved area in the rock to the southeast of water hole, in which two sides of the mountain show as natural defenses.

As it has a open face to all of the monsters I would not sleep there alone.. but if you must make sur you have a fire to drive monsters away. Also.. if you fear of snakes bang something against the rockface to create vibration. Snakes will flee from the vibrations.

Avatarian guidance surely. Good report Watchman, good indeed. Should have brought a water sample with you for further studies!
