The Second Conquest of the Helen Mountains

Once again we trekked to the Helen Mountains and rafted the river with a great throng of people. Tween the Outrageous was free to traverse the cold waters of her own will, and therefore was full of mirth. I was mercilessly shackled to the Tjorn the Hypercrybarian, and thus endured much nonsensical babble. Even though the river was lower than previously, we were able to raft it with great success. Sadly, the Queen of Amazonia was overtaken by the strong power of the the lordly sun Helios and fell sick. Through rest, food and water, we were able to break his spell and thus restore her to her great beauty. We returned to the outpost where we were able to restock with delights from exotic lands. We ate of the spoils of the Sammian Fields as well as feasted at the Halls of the Golden Arches.
