The Thrush battle begins as our heroes descend on the back of the war hawk, Gerald Herald the third! Polly and Rhomy split up to ensure the safety of the Hollow Log inn!
So last week, you guys clambered up a birch tree on, hot on the tail of Papa Plopmopolis, who unbeknownst to him, had a daughter that had had a near-death experience.
But he decided to prevent these things from happening that he didn't know already happened.
[laughs]
He was gonna go make a conversation with a hawk.
He brought a little bowl of soup, or bowl of soup.
Uh, made it up into the nest.
You guys had to help him the last little bit, get his, uh, roly poly butt over the edge of the nest.
[laughs]
And you guys set a welcoming scene for a hawk.
Uh, after a terse conversation, but Romy with convincing magics, you guys were able to get the hawk to eat the soup and agree to be an ally.
Maybe not a friend quite yet, but an ally nonetheless.
Mm-hmm.
The hawk's name, of course, Gerald Harold III.
Thank you, user-submitted names.
Uh, and he finally agreed to more soup, to defending the Hollow Log Inn, and right as he agreed to that, he told you guys that you might wanna hurry because it seemed like something was already happening.
Mm-hmm.
And now that he agreed to help, you took off into the sky and you saw your friends in the Hollow Log Inn, some smoke rising up above into the atmosphere, and the sight of many a thrush and other birds that might ally with the thrushes-
[laughs]
... flying, circling over the inn, and then turning to face the hawk, and flying towards you guys.
And that's where we are now.
I have, um, Papa Plopmopolis, uh, tied to me-
[laughs]
... just in case we fall off, Gerald Harold III.
Um, and then yeah, Polly's behind me.
Yeah.
