Today was a big day for me! Once I had reached level 30 in Kunark....I decided it was time to begin my great hunt for the legendary Bow of the Huntsmen!! My trusty Rain Caller had been with me a long time (ever since I went on the epic adventure at level 20), but I knew if I was to become a great archer....I needed to keep working to get even stronger bows.
So, I contacted a druid in Firiona Vie to take me to the icey lands of Velious! He said that would be fine, and told me where to meet him.
Eventually I ran there and as I got close, I saw a little halfling run past me....with pirates after him!!!! It was the druid!! And he had friends!! ((The bad kind)) I had arrived just in time, the halfling was over half dead!
I rooted 2 of them, and he rooted another, and quickly he teleported us away....the hunt had begun!!
When I landed in Velious I was so excited I began tracking right away for the elusive Vluudeen (I hadn't even bound!). I had tried to contact people in the area for days to see if they had seen him, but no one ever had.... it was a rare wurm indeed!
So I was doubly surprised when as I looked around....I saw his tracks!!!! Finding his tracks upon landing was nothing short of fate!!! Fate wanting me to find Vluudeen!!
I knew I had a big fight ahead of me....but lucky for me there was an ogre wandering around at the time, and he agreed to help. Though even with his help, it wouldn't be enough.

So I tried to find more help and sent a message to the dwarf city nearby. A druid replied he would be up for the hunt....and so our team had been made!!
When we got to the entrance of the cave though, the elder wurms seemed to have known of our plans and were patrolling everywhere. Luckily I knew how to hide myself, and so we snuck in.
Inside the cave it wasn't long until we saw him....it was Vluudeen! The greatest wurm of them all!!!!

As the ogre and druid were trying to figure out how to approach him, I took charge and shot him with an arrow! I was taking this fight outside!!!
They ran after me and the fight began proper! At first it seemed as though we were losing...the ogre was getting hurt too much! But it quickly turned around as we got comfortable and vluudeen began to weaken! Ultimately, defeated!!!!

I took the tail and waved goodbye to my new adventuring friends, without their help it would have taken me hours to fight him alone!!
But....then it dawned on me....the most dangerous part was next....I had to travel to the giants city, but I had a feeling giants didn't like elves too much.
At the giant city I tried to scout a bit to see who had asked for the tail, but I couldn't find him....assuming he was behind two guards that I couldn't get past.
Eventually I met a monk who offered to help. It was my double lucky day!! So together we ran deep into the city to look.
We checked where my tracking had lead me before, but it was a dead end. Something was strange....
Eventually we figured it out though, he was hiding!! Hiding behind a giant pit filled with wolves!! And worse....even more guards we couldn't get past!!
But the monk bravely stepped up and offered to act as a decoy for me to sneak past. Time was limited, so we agreed.
It worked flawlessly, he distracted the guards and I ran past! Quickly I gave the giant his wurm tail and received the mythical Bow of the Huntsmen!!! My journey was a success!!!
After that, it was just a matter of sneaking out....but I knew nothing could stop me now that I was an even stronger archer than ever before!!!!
