Greetings, fellow adventurers. Bjorn here. Today's grand quest? Barrel staves.
Let it be known that the forests north of Britain are a fickle mistress. Five times I sought her timber. Five times I was denied, lost to thickets and my own poor sense of direction. Between these noble failures, my hammer and chisel sang a song of splinters. I now know the grain of this oak better than the lines on my own palm, for I attempted to craft those damned staves another five times. Not a single one held.
On the bright side, I did get wonderfully lost and explored some truly fascinating, albeit incorrect, stretches of woodland. The quest for the perfect barrel continues. My pride, however, is in tatters.
