Visit the Hexenloch Mühlen witch

Excerpt from the secret archives about Gavriel – report of Master Lucien.
We got the order to report back to the local weather witch. My qualifications as Tech-wizard are not high enough to do the safety briefing and spelling. We shall meet the local weather master witch known as Hexenloch Mühlen witch. We shall bring the owl and the material bag.

I be spelled the humans and we drove to the to the mil. There where exact instructions for the behavior written out.

To meet the witch we must do a trail.

One goal was to pick at least two kinds of mushrooms.

Gavriel found a little blue dragon. He seams to be a cheeky one.

Gavriel used a transformation spell to speak with him.

Unfortunately the dragon was very mischievous. He lead my boy to licking fungal wood and drinking!

Now my apprentice is tipsy and the started a magic word contest.

And now it goes down hill. All ingredients are transformed! I have so much to explain to the witch!

For my luck the Hexenloch Mühlen witch was very understanding.

The little blue dragon is a familiar of her last apprentice. She could tell stories houres worth.

She made the briefing and gave my little one to gifts a glas owl and a candle holder for rituals.

Now my apprentice can start his weather spells.

Mulhouse France (Pentecost 2023)

From the magical archive about Gavriel. Visit in Mulhouse France.

After the initiation to the rank of apprentice I must register Gavriel at the local magic guild. The next is in Mulhouse France. If I had known how complex it is to get an apprentice, I had never startet the process. I made a translingua spell. In our family no one knows about the French language.

Metal dragon starting field

Metal dragons have a restricted day plan. The will not fly by your house so wie must walk to the next nest. Most of the times humans stop operating at the nest, so I must use a motivation spell to get them going.

The hardest part waiting with a little one. He could try his magical head to keep him occupied. And the little class clown through it was a toy!

Then our metal dragon appeared. I bet for a little pup is the part of the journey a big test of courage on the way to a wizzard.

Our bull head? Easy peasy! But you know the travel problem with little ones? “Papi when we arrive?”

Little Gavriel could ask the question >Master, when we are at the guild?< over 50 times in 35 minutes! If he got a trait the it is persistence…

The dragon moved!

The we got in the belly of the dragon. Unfortunately it was no direct dragon. We must change the Model 2 times.

Our start delayed for a while because of two dragons with disagreement about safe loading. At general I find the interior of the dragon better. Why we have the quickening ugly model?

The we must be quick to change the dragons again in Mühlheim! Yes we have a German town opposite of France city Mulhouse that called Mühlheim. The dragon was little. It must be a miniature metal dragon variant. If it gets bigger if I water it? Like my little parasite… ah apprentice Gavriel?

Mulhouse

We arrived in Mulhouse and enjoyed the scenery. The we started to look for the guild. Humans have a magic called GPS. What got we? A old school map! And a not readable one! As a tech wizard I demand a revolution! Give us GPS data!

Oh this spell got wrong. The map now tracks our movements… not the goal!

Before we can register Gavriel we must stock up our surplice of ingredients. Lavender is important to mask our smell. Not every day you try to sneak in a German brat in a french magic guild.

Okey we must make ourselfs pretty! Very good Gavriel you wear your cloak perfect and don’t make holes in your had!

Ministerium für Magie

We found the ministry. Oh Gavriel stop to bite your had! You will look bad before the guild master! Will you show him that you have no manors? You must be nice to persons above your rank! Or you will recieve bad promotions and options. A friend of mine got only the allowness to work with snails. Now he is known as the Sali the Snail wizard.

I started the translingua spell. We had some hickups but know it runs smooth and die guild wizard said: “Okay Gavriel you have bad marks. I think you will not get a good wizzard.”

Gavriel groweld and the meal of the wizard got eyes. What shall I do?!

I taped the wizard on his shoulder and pointed to the food. The wizard screamed “HELP PUT IT AWAY!” I put the food in my bag of holding. The wizard took a shaky breath and said. “Weather magic only! That is the savest magic!”

Tow of the food items i preserved for Gavriel. If he get the Master title I will gift them to him.

Wind fish

We found a supply store. The lady brought a magical wind fish for us. Maybe I can teach Gavriel wind magic with it?

Restaurant

I don’t unterstand humans:

They are in France and go to an italien restaurant. The food the would get in the village too. But it was tasty. We got some bites.

Hound of glaces

Will Gavriel tell my something? I don’t need glaces! I can see perfectly. Hi pretty woman… oh it is the glaces dog again.

Bakery

There was a magical smell from the bakery but are not allowed to eat it! We demand our share, Humans!

Bust of Lord Doggo

There is a Lord Doggo in town. He governs the city. I hope I must not met him because Gavriel does some stupid thing.t.

Church

What an imposant building. There is a crypt below. But only clerics and necromancer are allowed. I definitively have the wrong magic…

Ah and there are the plant pots again. Look at my apprentice! The would be made from another apprentice, or? Gavriel stop! Don’t steal the spell!

Way back

Oh the little parasite is tiered and groggy. I think I can finally sleep! No one wake me till the next dragon change!

Freiburg

Magic-Store

Out of planning issues we must stay in Freiburg some time. We visited the magic store!

Irish Pub

Like every time the humans think of food. Let’s go to the Irish Pub! The crowning End of this sucessful day. The pomes goes her – Lady!

Last drive

Okey back in the metal dragon. I must say my paws hurt. I am happy to have not to walk the way!

What we must walk the whole mountain up? Lady fetch our carriage! What the little parasite will not drive?! We must realy! There must be a spell! Maybe I can change the apprentice with someone else!

Was wir müssen noch den ganzen Berg hochlaufen! Lady man bringe mir meinen Wagen! Was die kleine Zecke fährt nicht Auto? Wir müssen wirklich hochlaufen! Es muss einen Zaubergeben! Tauscht den Zwerg UM!

Review Mulhouse

The travel with the metal dragon is complex but handable.

Reise

The complex parts are buying a ticket and the logistics. But you can see lots of the black forest and the Rheingraben. But not so interesting for a doggy knight.

Adventures

You must have seen the city center of Mulhouse.

The magic ahorns of Hinterzarten

There is a kind of magic tree every mage must have seen. The red magic ahorns of Hinterzarten. Through Luciens great skill and knowledge he could convert some trees in the rear red variant. Look how red he could color them.

He used his magic like a true master.

But it is a big strain on him. Please don’t ask to change every tree!

Mistakes happens to big minds too. But the yellow is pretty es well!

You can have lots of fun in this leaves!

Merlins magic forest (Bernau)

The magical fall has cheeped around. The rain pours. Now I will show you a secret article of the magic archives about Gavriel. His initiation in Merlins magic forest. Yes it is from easter some time ago, but it is a important step of Gavriels history and it was peace full at this time!

Firstly we visited the information. The lady was a bit ligneous and don’t know much about >Merlin<. But she was friendly and nice.

Gavriel was a bit suspicious. He got a mighty hex of throwing up in cars from a evil witch. To remove this hex took long and is an other story.

He was so wet and dehydrated that we must stop and drink lots of water.

Then wie helped the easter bunny to find suitable places to hide. It was a lot of fun.

Then we walked the real merlin path. Lots of new stuff for a young soon to be apprentice to see. The little devil must explore the paths, the bridges and the dead wood. He climbed like a pro all stairs.

Then we visit master mage Merlin. He was a bit shocked to see so mighty Wizards and potential apprentices to see in the woods. But he helped to initiate Gavriel. He is now a certified apprentice!

Stop what means as a Wizard of Great Britain I am not allowed to examinate a German mage? My exam is not comparable? Wow Gavriel is put under French authority because of this place? Arggh no one speaks french hier!

I will go over this bridge if the time comes. Wow there are lots of magical mushrooms here!

Then Gavriel found his highlight. The throne! He dreamed of enslave all humans for a short moment. The the Lady popped the bubble.

As a good collie we brought our human entourage to a food place. We have done our spells right. It rained some french fries. I tried to teach the little one sharing. I lost.

After this we must go back to our mighty transportation device. The little tort was so unhappy!

After some minutes we turned back home. He was thinking and I was sleeping.

Capital Bern (2024)

It is time! We visit Bern! Our big adventure! Sebastian said that is a trail run for the big adventure at the coast. He will convince the Lady!

We left Schäfchen (Sheepy) und Plüsch-Collie at home sitting. We started our day tour. The weather was okey, cloudy but dry with some sunny spots until we arrived in Bern. It started to rain. It purred cats and dogs.

Sebastian new interpreted the flagg of bern out of this reason. I proudly present the fur seal flagg!

The Collie-Mobil brought us to a parking garage. I must say underwhelming. This could be in the last backwater city on earth, but after 2 hour driving Gavriel as had only one goal >Be out of the car!<.

Here you get a small overview of our walking route.

Window shopping

Gavriel found instantly a portrait of El Dogcapone. Suddenly the Lady refused to by this cool object. Not even the collie version got her approval. She said that cigars are not allowed in the flat. The rain had stopped and I hoped that my fur don’t get wet.

Well

We found a city well. Unfortunately even Gavriel was to short to get the water. But the Lady knows a real cool trick. You can magically transform a poop bag to a portable water bowl. Please don’t use the self-dissolving ones! Please!

City hall

Sebastian asked: “What is this on the well top?”

I used the magic wisdom ball. It is the Venner well with a venner. A Venner is a special type of standard-bearer soldier for the city of Bern.

Then we made a sit-in before the city hall. They said doggy knights aren’t allowed and that are no dog services here. I call for a department for Dogs needs!

The have ghosts! There are strange noises here! Let us leave!

Dogs and Wanderlust

We checked out the windows. Meanwhile it started to rain again for our luck the shopping streets are roofed!

Sebastian found the >Wanderlust<-Bar advertisement. He said. “Human look! This must Lucien and Gavriel see! I bet you don’t find the error of the images! If you loose you bring us to the coast!”

The Lady fought and said. “The seagull with the hat?” He answered. “No there is no Sand! Bet is bet!”

The Lady groaned and said. “Okey we drive to the coasts of Germany! We look to the sea!”

It happened! We will see the sea!

Best Beef in Town

This restaurant looks great, but the servant and the lady said no…

DracheNäscht

The shop is funny. It is called the DracheNäscht – the dragon nest. Unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed. In the shop was Struppi a well know dog in literature. He was looking for a new Tim. I must object. Why aren’t we allowed! Equal treatment for all dogs!

Dragon

A dragon! The dragon nest must be his! But he must work on his appearance and odor. He smells a bit trashy. And as we stated this the rain began to purr. My beautiful fur got wet!

Münsterplattform

We walked to the Münsterplattform. There is a well with a silly bird! And have I said how wet we are? This weather is a joke and not a good one!

The view was stunning. We could see the river Aare. But a bit less wet! That would be a dream. We get an adventure. We visit a capital and than is the weather so bad.

There are interesting things – A XXL-Waterbowl! This we must check out!

Here we can spin the Lady until she lost orientation! If you are a pro in lunging – here you can show off.

Sebastian tried to play Tischtennis. I had other ideas. There is a place where my fur can dry off!

Moses well

We found another well! It was build 1791 and is called the Moses well. If Gavriel can split the water with his tongue?

Bear disservice

We strolled through the city of Bern. Mr. Bear worked hard to attract customer in the rain. Unfortunately all costumer must cross the street and get soaking wet in seconds.

Pents

The Lady was wet to the bone. She decided to buy dry pants. And we must wait in the rain! We demand dry fur!

Restaurant

We found a nice restaurant that allowed us wet rats. I demand sunshine while we travel!

After this ordil we got all a hot bowl of tea. And dinner was served.

Then we relaxed a bit and dried of.

Capital Bern – Bundesplatz

Water features on the Bundesplatz

We arrived on the Bundesplatz. The sun could be seen some seconds in a row. The fountains are interesting. Gavriel tried to play with them. He got wet again. The review is mixed.

Bundeshaus

We watched over the Bundeshaus in civil. Nobody must know about our enrollment in the spezial dog task force!

National bank

Okay this is the national bank. Here are the gold bars stored! If we can acquire some gold bars for our service?

Giraffe

Strange creatures are here in Bern. The colorful giraffe shall symbolize the colorful plays 2024/2025 in the city theater. I don’t get this humans. Make a sculpture of us!

Chäshütte

Cheese! We could convince the Lady to go in the Chäshütte shop and to acquire for us cheese rind. Delicious! Why on earth humans throw the rind in the bin?!

Brunngasse

The we visit the Brunnengasse with there guild flags. We demand a flag for our adventurer guild!

Gavriel matched this vehicle perfect. If we can make a test drive? Could you imagine how cool it is to drive with this?

The we visit the St. Peter und Paul church. This windows are beautiful!

Souvenirs

We couldn’t leave capital Bern without souvenirs. We got some new collars.

Look how beautiful the are!

Review Capital Bern

Bern is a beautiful colorful city. We recommend to plan a full day.

Travel

You can travel to Bern via car or public transportation. One the road are interesting things like the >moveable motorway maintenance bridge< and the motorway where plane landings are trained.

Sebastian Trinkt

Lenzkirch and llamas

In the morning we visited Schluchsee, but Gavriel has heard about a circus in Lenzkirch and tried to investigate this strange human thing. The advertainment was Lenzkirch and Llamas.

I find caged creatures that must perform trix creepy but them need not to know.

Lenzkirch Spagarden und Church

Gavriel is injured. The fish man… the big dog healer has said he is not allowed to get wet paws. The Lady was very strict with it. Sebastian was watching that the rules are followed. But it was very funny how the tried to drink without wed paws.

Suddenly Sebastian shouted “I got it!” Gavriel asked “What got you?” Sebastian answered: “I have an idea how to get the humans driving us to the coast! let me do my thing!<

Watermill

Sebastian found a watermill and shouted “Female Human!” The lady looked puzzled. How could he speak so with a Lady. Gavriel gave him a bit at the flipper. “Sebastian!” The Lady was frendly “Yes?”

“Where does this creek go? Will we bet? You drive us if you are wrong!”

The Lady answered. “To the Schluchsee.” Sebastian grinned and said. “Wrong! It goes to the Rhine! You lost! Drive us to the coast!”

The Lady smiled. “Okey I drive us to Bern.”

Sebastian said “I have done it!” I had my suspicions something is off…

Church Well

Gavriel was over the moon. Sebastian had really done the impossible. We will make a adventure!

We stopped at the church well and drank some holy water. What a day!

Spagarden Pillar

After this we explored the spagarden. I head a quite sinking feeling that something is of. I ask Sebastian. “Hey fellow at which cost is Bern?”

Sebastian blinked and roared. “The old heg has lead us up the garden path! Bern is in switzerland!”

I hurt my belly while laughing!

Lenzkirch and llamas

We found the circus in the village center. llamas are very big and suided to command respect. My little squire head have quite a steep learning curve.

In the moment he sensed movement he tug his tail.

And there is more. The camels. They are even bigger!

Sebastian tried to use Gavriel als mule but mister >I am a big bad knight< backed up and send Sebastian in the mud. Sebastian must stare done both single handed.

Gavriel supported Sebastian from a safe distance.

After the big win of the funny duo, Sebastian said. “We must find a way to retribution! The Lady tricked us!”

Gavriel nodded. “We will and maybe we will see the sea!”

Review Lenzkirch

Lenzkirch is a bit back country. There is no trainstation an the bus don’t come often at the weekend.

If you arrived then you can hick in wonderful woods and creeks. E.G. Schluchtensteig, Wutach-Schlucht or the Urseetal.

Sebastian am Brunnen

Lenzkirch – Whitsun Monday (2024)

Little Gavriel getting better after his gravely wound on his paw. We make only short walks. I like it a lot. I think shortwalks are better for us all and will instruct the human servants only to walk so!

Today it is Whitsun monday. This is one of the festivals I don’t get. It’s about a Jesus and the founding of the church. On of the more obscure holidays in Gemany. At whitsun there are procession and services. Nothing for a dogy knight. We aren’t allowed to participate! The next day is a holiday, too, because the humans must rest after this affort…

Humans must not work und we can take a stroll through the woods of Lenzkirch!

The humans found a new path in Lenzkirch and the weather is top! Sunshine and warm. Maybe a bit to warm…

Silberbrünnele path

Sebastian and I were thirsty. We found a little creek and drunk from it!

Hiking in Lenzkirch

The Lady scouted the new path and we found a strange sculpture in the woods. Is it a pagan symbol to whit? May be the wise Wizard of Woof knows more! I must write him!

We walked approximately an hour through hills and dells. The woods were refreshing and Gavriel was over the moon to see something new.

Silver spring

Sebastian found the Silver spring well and tried to bath in it. Gavriel rescued him twice even if he is wounded.

We alle took a sip and Sebastian was curios as a cat and got his flippers wet.

Breakfest in Lenzkirch

In Lenzkirch we eat in our favorite cafe Wiest! Here the drops are lovely! We can find cheese, ham and bread role stuffing if we wait patiently. The humans love to eat the potato nut bread, but we don’t get a peace often!

Here is the best place to watch the village and bark at other dogs.

At home

After the hiking we were sleepy! I took a nap and Gavriel was thinking how he can arrange the bet between the lady and Sebastian. He is fixated on the idea to see the sea! But at the moment the medicine makes him drowsy and slows down his thinking process. We will see how the plan looks like!

Lake Schluchsee (Spring 2024)

We arrived at Lake Schluchsee. Gavriel convinced the Lady to drive us. The day is sunny and I enjoy the light wind. Gavriel is chatty today. He showed all his knowledge over Lake Schluchsee to Sebastian Seehund. There are tow train stations at the lake and there is the Brewery Rothhaus near. He stated. Sebastian belly flopped over the railing and looked at the Lake.

You could read in his face his concerning troughs. He restrained him self and said after a while:

“Mhh… little howler this Lake is better as the last, but it is not the sea. Look I can see the shore! At the sea you can’t.”

Gavriel was devastated. How on Earth could be there a Place with more water! A Labrador can’t cross the lake swimming. I smiled knowingly. I had seen the sea at my travel to UK to get a real knight. Suddenly the old Lady Queen died and her son was bussy. So I gotn’t the real deal.

Gavriel will be shocked if he experienced the sea for real.

Gavriel stammered: “But there is a big ship! You said that big ships are on the sea and the Lake Schluchsee ist the biggist water body in Baden-Württemberg! Here is no bigger water! Okey the Bodensee but there is parted to 3 countries…”

Sebastian laught and said; “Ah Relly. Look forward to see the world. Maybe I can coax the Lady in a bet. The mountain dwlers don’t know a thing over the sea. I will winn this kind of bet.”

Gavriel got large puppy eyes – eyes like table ware. What will he do if he knows that seeing the sea mean a endless drive in the big old tin can… will he stay excited? We will see. Suddenly there was a loud squicking noise. Gavriel entered the hyper excited border state:

“Look a sea drive simulator Sebastian! To the water we can’t go with my magic healing boot. But this is interessting!”

Sebastian roared “Ready to board!”

This pumkin heads… this are no manors for a knight.

After a short time I heard new noises. I growened. The found the excavator! Please holly doggy goddess let them start no silly stuff.

Gavriel whispered: “This is human technology! It can dig!”

Sebastian said. “Okey we can build a channel to the next sea. Dig north little howler!”

Gavriel sagte. “I sleeped through geography… but the mediterran sea should be closer, or? Eitherway digging!”

After some minutes the euphoria of the squire was tempered down. He complained. “We have done under a meter! We will never ever reach a sea in this speed! I am hungry. Master Lucien said here is a dog treat bakery. We should check it out!”

Sebastian nodded and said. “Go first, little howler. But you will never achieve something if you stop halve way. The sea is out if your reach.”

I guided them to the park. There was a chess match. I challenged Gavriel. “Come on squire show all how intelligent you are. A real knight must master chess. If you win I convince the Lady to by a back of cookies.”

He tried his best and the Lady brought some cookies.

Now Gavriel is a marinated schnitzel and will sleep the next hours. Gavriel thoughed. How can i coax the Lady to a bet with Sebastian? I will see the sea! Bern is a big city… maybe there is the possibility for it!

Review Schluchsee

Lake Schluchsee is bigger as Lake Titisee. It has to train stations at the sea. There are shops an restaurants in the village, direct at the see there are less eating possibilities.

Travel

The Landscape is nice and the trains stops direct at the see. The village is nice, too.

Schaffhausen and Rhine Falls

Gavriel has not gotten his sea legs. Out of this reason he couldn’t participate on Pirate Month well. He is a bit jung to be a jolly sailor.

Tomorrow the magic month will starting. The grate finale will be Halloween. Witch will have more power and ghost dance all night. I made the mistake Gavriel to tell. Now we need a magic sheep for the a project… And he will only a sheep from Schaffhausen…

So we made a road trip by train. Because the Colliecar is broken down. Our trips goes from Hinterzarten to Villingen to Singen and to Schaffhausen in Switzerland.

Yeah you can be sorry for me. I licked my paw open…

The trip with the metal dragons was long, uncomfy and boring like a sermon. We got thirst like in a dessert. We found Water in Schaffhausen! What a luck!

There was an advertising with a cow for the Schafhuuser Puure Märkt

We must go there! Maybe there are the sheeps hidden!

This is mean. No dogs allowed and no sheeeps!

Yes the little one is right. It’s mean to must sit out side!

After this we visited castle Mundt and we got the first glimpse of the dear colony. I thought we where in Schaffhausen… where are the sheeps?

Now I need a drink deer instead of sheep’s!

At the top we mast charge the magical cooling wests. They are running low of steam.

We found canons and the little Gavriel tried his first time. A bit big for him…

The we made a horrific discovery a Medusa victim! We tried rescue procedures and protected the humans. But the curse was to strong. We couldn’t break it.

We left this poor man and called the local magical authorities.

We got a better view of the dear while leaving.

The humans got hungry. So the decided to go eating at Penpas.

The food looks so delicious.

The Lady was shopping in the local store at the dragon train station and we got some water from the nice Bretzelkönig woman.

Why are in Schaffhausen no sheeps? Maybe we look at the wrong place…

What do you say pratfall? Are there all sheeps?

No Rhine Fall. It’s a waterfall with nature!

Let’s go to the Rhine Falls!

Something is wrong with the dragon toll station… Magic cards and notes are not accepted… coin only. The little magic dragon has lost his magic horn to connect the central and refused to let by us tickets with out coins.

We searched for a second office and found one right in time for the train. To get a ticket can be complex as the best magic.

We arrived on the top of the Rhine Falls but the main attractions are on the bottom! Lucky us there is a lift!

The the little shit found the boats… His moaning you could hear to the Titisee.

I will in a boat! A Boat please!

The he lost it. I couldn’t climb in the beat. He thought it is a good idea to lift me with a crane in it!

To my luck it was out of order!

Mmpf… the idea was so good!

I am not so heavy! And if my paws stay dry I travel by boat. We explored the surrounding and found some nice places.

Okay let’s take some shots. Maybe the little one forget about the Mission “Find sheep!”

We found the sheep for mister puppy pubsi. I pressend Schaffhausen Sheep!

The sheep convinced the humans that it is time to get sea legs for Gavriel and that we should make a boat trip on the Rhine.

We drove to the water works! Gavriel enjoyed his trip.

The sheep and the humans were stunned and we used the time for a bit leisure.

Before we got an land we visited the Rhine Falls again. This time very close up. There was a rainbow but nobody was looking for the pot of gold.

The we said goodby to the Rheinfall cow.

So much water and nothing to drink! But we found this nice fountain for dog and human!

Now we must go to the metal dragon station. Gavriel tried to summon the dragon and got ignored. His magic credits are to low as apprentice…

The metal dragon arrived on time and was nice.

After the first flight we arrived in Schaffhusen. The servant got some local meat products. He dare to say nothing for us! So mean!

The whole time we could smell it and if you will take a pike he says no! And assume we want to claim it for us! What happened to him that he think this of us!

The next flight was awful. The dragon has gotten a cold and his grills where blocked. We got hot and the other dragons where infected to an could not leaf there stall. So he took a lot of passengers in. I was so glad of my cooling west!

The next dragon was better. Less people less hot.

His starting terminal was a bit strange… He lost time and demotion or something…

I swear I have done no portal magic. And I watched my squire like a hark! He has no miss habit, too.

The dragon was on time and we could start our last right.

Jedenfalls hieß es Einsteigen und Ausbreiten!

After this we must walk home. O dear where we tired!

Gavriel im Campus Galli

Campus Galli (2023)

In July we visited Campus Galli. I told Gavriel that there are interesting things to discover. There are little birds to chase and lovely wood branches to chew. And there is a top secret doggy knight armory with a black smith that makes custom made things.

Can we upgrade my dagger? PLEASE PLEASE!

Gavriel you have no manners!

PLEACE! Or I tell the Lady of you paw liking! She will bring back the cute pink socks!

Okey Okey but only a training sword!

Out Mission is: Get Gavriel a trainingsword.

But Campus Galli has more to offer. You can watch humans work in historical ways. You can sneak some magical herbs out. But be careful: Some are dangerous!

Campus Galli Tafel

After our arrival we changed to our cooling armor. You can not be to not careful enough! The sun rosted you fur faster as you can watch. The servant was red and well done in minutes.

Than we must wait. We booked a guided tour. But It took a lot of time to start. We used the waiting time for some fresh drinks and chilling in the shadows .

We learned that here in Messkirch they build the whole Plan of Saint Gall.

The first highlight was the hermit clause. The clause was originally build in St. Gallen (Switzerland) and transported to Campus Galli. It is a reconstruction of the clause of the Saint Gall.

The story was a bit fantastical. There were bears that where required to work for some bread and then the bears got banned from the ground. I must take a look in it. This could be useful intel.

The next place we visited was the big barn. We learned how the building was build and how to make a straw roof. The builder thinks that it will need 100 Years time till all buildings are finished. That are 4 human generations or 20 doggy generations” WOW!

At the moment the build a chicken coop. I must say breathtaking. Look how long the wooden sticks are! The male servant is small against it. This are practical trees.

To be save we checked the graveyard. The aura is great but something… make my belly turning.

Something? You refused to eat your dried fishes in the morning. The lady has tried to make it tastier for you with liver pate!

Gavriel everyday the same fishs are boring!

I am your squire! I shall watch after you. Eat your meals, master. Or I will do it!

You are right. Pupertating squires are the pest. Can I get a new one?

No you stuck with me!

Memo for me: Don’t check magical places with an empty tummy or low mana.

Than we took a look to the wooden church. There are cooling shadows and you can feel the effort that the humans put in the building.

The carpenter made their job well next to the church. It was interesting to look and chew some wood.

The humans got hungry. The buy some honey cake and some special dishes. We could only enjoy some crumbs and the smell. I demand sausage for everybody!

After this we visited the local traders market. The Lady got some ideas, mead and some snacks.

We watched different triads at work. Especially the turner was interesting for Gavriel.

At our way to the blacksmith we found the barrel maker. He has extra a little drinking barrel for little doggy knights.

I made a small detour to the herb garden. Be aware that are dangerous plants with photo toxic reactions. If the sun shines the burn you. I would recommend not to do it!

Unfortunately the black smith had closed and we only could checkout the building from the outside.

Okey no custom sword. We walked to the pottery. Maybe we can buy a water bowl. The humans measure with double standards. If I play in the dirt the roar “NO Lucien! NO Gavriel”, but if other humans play in the dirt and mud it is art…

But now luck here too. The bowls need 2 weeks till burning.

Then we looked to the basket weaver. We got some osier to chew from the nice woman. May she be blessed.

We looked to the clock and the humans said we must go back to the metal horse. Campus Galli closed in 10 Minutes. And we had not seen all buildings close! The humans buy some drinks and ice. And we relaxed until…

Is it time form my sword?

I think maybe yes. The lady has something behind her back!

I will be a real knight! What is that a butterfly? Where is my sword?

It looks like the lady think you are not ready my squire. I think you should try to be peaceful. Maybe next time…

I demand my sword!

My little squire was on the way back not so happy. But I think soon his time comes. The Lady has all ready decided his knight name. Gavriel will be Gavriel Nibblehead, but don’t tell the little man.
