The Bearded Crab

Oh boy, we’ve got some great stuff going here. The sneezing pirate… hilarious.

All we need now is Ezra. @Ezra-Wilkinson? Where are you? 😛

The Blustery Gale

The Viking’s Horn

Well at the Hilltop

The Sneezing Pirate 🙂

I think my favorites so far are, Traitors’ Rest and The Snoozing Boar. Y’all are very creative.

The snoozing boar

Of course there could always be the one fork in the road where the correct path is barely visible and looks really difficult and there are all sorts of creepy noises over there, while the wrong path looks like a very pleasant walk.

The anvil and the cross

The Wailing Wombat.

The Dangling Snake.

The Boat and Bulrush. (I’ve used that one already).

The Fish and Lilypad.

The Lobster and Limpet.

Ha ha, I wonder what type of inn that would be.

Traitors’ Rest

Ooh… I like that one. Makes me wonder where it got its name. 🙂

The sign of the lonely nymph.

Ha! The Howling Frog! Love it. So fun. 😀

I like The Screaming Falcon, too, @Hope. Nice and dramatic. I like both the funny and the sophisticated ones. Once I used ‘The Leaf and Thorn’ when I didn’t want to go for the humorous twist.
