Kobold's Mansion

Where we left off last week, we saw some statues. My team and I saw an altar with some kobold priests. When we got closer to the kobolds the statues shot out some darts. after we got past the statues and killed the kobolds, we saw a small golden head. (It looked like the Indiana Jones Inca golden head.) We thought it was a trap so one of us shot it with an arrow. Suddenly, the wall behind the golden head crumpled to the ground and there was a secret room with three kobolds. One was a shaman and the other two were warriors with heavy armor. We found out the golden head was made of tin foil and so we discarded it. Out of nowhere a white dragon came out of the shadows and ate the kobolds. You could see them flail their little arms trying to get away and you could hear them scream as they got eaten.

 So that was my adventure. Until next time,

Gingerbread Castle

On Wednesday at a local library, a librarian hosted an Iron Chef Christmas Special. My team was called Alfa. The two of us decided to make a gingerbread castle. Our base was a graham cracker box and for pillars we had two milk cartons. The four corners of the cartons were covered with graham crackers. We used frosting as glue and for snow. We also decorated the castle with Hershey Kisses, candy canes, and candy cane drops.
Have a merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Party Crashers

My D&D group and I went into a kobald mansion. The kobalds, reptilian monsters, were having a party. We crashed the party, killing all the kobalds. Now we are in a room with some statues.


Tune in next week.

Job Shadowing

On Friday, I went to an animal clinic to job shadow.
I saw a doctor declaw a cat. He ripped out the bone part of the claw. Otherwise the claw will just grow back. Another cat got neutered. I almost passed out so I left the room and drank juice.
When I was feeling better, I saw two dogs with  growths. I saw an x-ray of a dog who had a growth on his jaw. Then I went into an appointment where the dog had a growth on his eye, but the doctor got most of it off.
So that's my day at an animal clinic. I hope to do it again soon.

New D&D Adventures

On Saturday at a local library, I attended a gaming convention. There was a whole variety of games. I chose D&D. 

We adventured on a pirate ship where we killed some of the British navy and jumped onto their ship. Below deck we found four statues which granted each of us one wish. My wish was to get rid of mummy rot and gain mummy rot immunity. 

Then we stopped some sirens from singing because they were controlling the crew members with their song. After that we went to a pirate port where we killed pirates and stole treasure. Then we set sail.

The D&D group meets every week, so I will be writing about my new D&D adventures.

Halloween Zombie Walk

On Halloween night some of my homeschooling friends and I went to the zombie walk in Portland. We  slowly made our way through Monument square to the State Theatre. There were lots of creative  zombie costumes-- made with fake blood, gore and ripped clothing.
Then we saw "Dawn of the Dead", a horror film, and "Shawn of the Dead", a scary comedy. We also saw a short film called "Last Call", another horror/comedy.

This was the best Halloween ever! Hope we do this again next year.

The Hunting Trip

 Last Friday, my dad and I went to my Grandma's house. We went hunting in the woods and only saw two birds. When we got out of the car, they flew away.
Saturday, my Uncle Steve joined us and I got my first kill. I hit the partridge right in the breast. Soon afterwards, I severly injured another partridge. Uncle Steve finished it off. So, I called it a kill and a half.
Dad got a kill. He blew the bird's head right off. Then Uncle Steve got an epic kill. He turned and shot a partridge in mid-flight.
We saw ten partridge throughout the day and we had four of them in the bed of the truck. I will always remember that day!

Earth Science Day

Today my mom and I went to Augusta to the Maine State Museum. I panned gold and learned  where there are good places to go panning. We also learned about our water source- how it effects the animals and humans.
Tonight at 5:30 pm I am going to the Topsham Public Library to play some trivia. There is going to be pizza and prizes.

Haven's Candy Factory

On Monday, Sally, Mom and I went to Haven's Candy Factory. We took a free tour and got some caramel popcorn. We pressed a button to fill a mold with chocolate. We got a box filled with treats. We put our treats on a conveyor belt and gave them a chocolate bath. My mom put coconut on her chocolates, Sally put coconut on some of her chocolates, and I put chocolate sprinkles on mine. We got to wrap taffy and bring it home.
It was the best Columbus Day ever!

Escargot

On Saturday, October 1, Grandma Curtin, Mom, Dad, Aunt Maureen and I went to Catherine's Restaurant to celebrate Grandma's birthday. I tried escargot (snails). It was like eating mushrooms. I liked them. They were really good. I also had grouper. It's a fish. It was similar to haddock, but worse. I was not impressed. Then we had dessert. It was like a chocolate volcano without the center. It was to die for!

Teaching ASL Classes

I am teaching an American Sign Language class at two co-op groups. One in Bath and one in Gorham. It's really going well. My students are learning their alphabet. Teaching is as easy as pie. This week in Bath I am teaching my class foods and playing a fun board game. In Gorham I am teaching  colors and reviewing the alphabet.

Quarters

Yesterday, my grandma, Mom, and I played Quarters. It is a card game. Here's how to play: First, you deal out four cards face down. Place them two on top and two on bottom. Then only look at two of your cards, without showing the other players, and put them face down again. All the cards are face value exept the king, which is worth zero.  If you get a pair, they ex each other out. You try to get the lowest hand.
It's a fun, quick game. About 1-6 people can play.

D&D Part 2

Friday we killed more undead: severed hands and skeleton archers. We almost got killed by the archers, but we pulled threw. Now we are doing a skill challenge which means we roll a lot of dice to see if we win or fail the challenge.
This has been D&D adventures. Stay tuned for more. Until next time, this has been Thor Graag. See you next week.

D&D New Adventure

Friday was my first D&D meeting with some new kids and a new DM. We are fighting skeletons and zombies. We are trying to figure out why  the undead are attacking this town.


Well tune in next week. Til then this is Thor Graag.

Sparks Ark

Yesterday my mom, friends and I went to the Falmouth Public Library to see Sparks Ark to learn about animals. David Sparks brought in a saw whet owl, a great horned owl , an opossum, a baby mallard duck, a mini goat, a boa constrictor, and a flying squirrel. He also brought in some dead dried up  brown bats.
My favorite animal was the great horned owl. They look smart. What is your favorite animal?

The Horseshoe Crab

 My mom, friends and I went to Lincoln Middle School in Portland to learn about horseshoe crabs. The woman there said that they can't bite, pinch or sting you. So as we were feeding them people were sticking their fingers in their mouths. I did the same and it kind of bit me and then it pinched me. So that was a bad, but funny day.

D&D And Our Last Meeting

Where we last left off we were fighting two zombies and a wizard. We killed the zombie guards but the wizard killed me in two hits. I became a ghoul and I attacked my master aka the wizard. So we all died and we made new characters. I was a goliath and the others were a griffin and a wolf. So that's it.
This has been the D&D Adventures with your host, Thor Zeller, updateing with new and exciting adventures. Until next time. This is Thor Zeller signing off. 

astronaut

I went to the Challanger Learning Center where I became an astronaut for a day. I was a medic, but my computer was bugged. So I had to be a robotics officer. My job was to see if any of the bottles on board the space ship were leaking. It was the phenolthaline which is used to test water for contaminates. Then we had to evacuate because too many meteorites hit our ship. After we landed I got freeze-dried ice cream. YUMMMMM!

D&D: The New Quest

Well, we got a new quest.This quest requires us to find three gems. So we went inside a cave and saw thirteen goblin minions and two goblin soldiers. We fought and got them down to four: 2 minions and both the soldiers. Then I was unconcious, but my gang killed off the rest of them. Later on, we talked with two orcs and they said, "Give us your weapons."  We refused and then one of the orcs killed his comrade by accident and we killed him. Then in the next room we saw one thief and two minions. We killed the minions, but the thief talked and said, "Please don't kill me! The chest there has $4,000 in it. The wizard [the one we were looking for] is in the next room." Then I cut off the thief's head so he wouldn't try to kill us while we opened the chest. Now we are in the room with the wizard and his two zombie gaurds.
