The Tortle offers to remove the bounty.
2021-03-19
The music stops. Two violins and some high-pitched instrument played by a Tortle man.
2021-03-19
In the center of the room is a fight. A 7ft dragonborn beating up an unconscious goliath man.
2021-03-19
Mostly dwarves.
2021-03-19
A wide chamber.
2021-03-19
Live music playing. People clapping.
2021-03-19
A tunnel into the mountain.
2021-03-19
He invites us in for drinks. And he's serious.
2021-03-19
They argue for a bit.
2021-03-19
The cave wall rolls down. A secret door.
2021-03-19
An illusion. Something behind it. Flynn pulls a lever.
2021-03-19
Are they going to start fighting again?
2021-03-19
The others investigate the cave. It seems empty, at first. But the fire isn't giving off any heat.
2021-03-19
"You're standing in front of the cave. There's nowhere I can walk." I respond, "There's nowhere I can walk either."
2021-03-19
Apparently he messed with the Damos clan so there's a bounty on him.
2021-03-19
I assume he's a rare delicacy.
2021-03-19
Prax is worth a lot of money, apparently.
2021-03-19
"It's nothing personal."
2021-03-19
I talk to him in Orcish. I tell him I have a similar pet.
2021-03-19
He's a half orc, half tiefling.
2021-03-19
The ranger asks me to put it down. He has a strange skin colour for a tiefling. Similar to mine, but I'm an orc.
2021-03-19
I feed the badger some alligator meat. It relaxes.
2021-03-19
An immortal Aarakocran.
2021-03-19
They are under new leadership and have become more radical. Their goal is to kill the sultan, Walid.
2021-03-19
I've heard of Kalankalat, the group they mention. Rebels who attack caravans.
2021-03-19
Now they talk. They are plunderers?
2021-03-19
The barbarian drops her hammer. She was crying?
2021-03-19
I grab the badger by the neck and scold it.
2021-03-19
Flynn wants to talk. The barbarian holds back.
2021-03-19
Ranger and another woman are in the cave.
2021-03-19
Flynn cuts the wizard in half.
2021-03-19
Also, a badger comes up to me and bites me.
2021-03-19
One from the cave shoots at me.
2021-03-19
I roll up to Barbarian woman and introduce her to my axe.
2021-03-19
Tiefling woman shoots bolt of fire at Flynn.
2021-03-19
The woman yells his name, picks up her hammer, and hits Flynn in the head with it.
2021-03-19
His name is Mathias?
2021-03-19
Prax blasts some of them.
2021-03-19
He starts casting a spell.
2021-03-19
"That one's worth quite a bit."
2021-03-19
He looks at Flynn and Prax. He seems to recognize one of them.
2021-03-19
"Kyla." A tiefling tosses a waterskin, which he tosses to Flynn. He takes a sip.
2021-03-19
Flynn introduces himself.
2021-03-19
I am 20 feet away from them.
2021-03-19
The woman has a large hammer behind her back.
2021-03-19
"You're separated from your caravan? You shouldn't be here. You should leave."
2021-03-19
The human has no armor. Just a robe.
2021-03-19
They announce they mean no harm. Four balls of light appear ahead. The mouth of a cave. Inside is a human man on his side and a tiefling woman. Two more tieflings. Piecemeal armor.
2021-03-19
Prax and Flynn charge loudly. I sneak around the left.
2021-03-19
The light snuffs out. They must have heard us.
2021-03-19
Flynn steps into a gopher hole (or golfer hole)?
2021-03-19
I oil my wheels to turn down the squeaking.
2021-03-19
Ara wants to join, but we need to be sneaky. She waits.
2021-03-19
Could be the bandits. We approach.
2021-03-19
20 minutes away is a small fire.
2021-03-19
It's getting dark. We are on a cliffside path, with a steep drop to the river.
2021-03-19
The bones are burning hot with some primordial magic, and are toxic to the environment.
2021-03-19
A Tyrant spine marks its landmark. Tyrants were 60 to 100 feet tall. Their bones have become rare minerals.
2021-03-19
Mount Gell is nearby.
2021-03-19
As the salesman packs up, he warns us of the attackers. They attacked at night.
2021-03-19
I offer it some crocodile meat.
2021-03-19
The cat walks up to me. It looks at me. I try to get it to hop on me. It does, disappears, then reappears on my feet.
2021-03-19
We name the cat Lloyd, in memory of Lloyd.
2021-03-19
Lloyd is the name of the guy who died, by the way.
2021-03-19
Flynn offers 40 gold. He wants 100. We trade 30 gold and two alligators. All for the cat.
2021-03-19
The cat says, "Hello!".
2021-03-19
It leaves the cage. Flynn attempts to pick it up. It disappears and reappears back in the cage.
2021-03-19
He opens the cat cage.
2021-03-19
Also some potions and herbs.
2021-03-19
Another cage. Snarling and growling. A black creature with tentacles, the size of a cat.
2021-03-19
He has armor. Don't need it. A blade he plans to keep. And something at the back.
2021-03-19
He opens the cage. The sand creatures start unpacking the cart.
2021-03-19
An iron cage of miniature sandstorms with shifting humanoid features.
2021-03-19
I ask to look at his wares.
2021-03-19
A group of organized bandits attacked him at night. They lost two wagons.
2021-03-19
I recognize this man. Mehkaly. A famous merchant.
2021-03-19
Guy has a turban and no shirt. Baggy pants.
2021-03-19
Three carts. They appear to have lost some.
2021-03-19
We look up the road. A smaller caravan approaches.
2021-03-19
We collect the carcasses. Khault suggests selling the hide later.
2021-03-19
The others deal with the remaining crocodile.
2021-03-19
I decapitate the second one.
2021-03-19
I decapitate one. Our dinner for tonight.
2021-03-19
Flynn runs and calls for help.
2021-03-19
2nd one comes up and bites me.
2021-03-19
It bites my chair and misses my feet.
2021-03-19
I scalp one in the head, then brake my wheelchair to avoid getting dragged into the water.
2021-03-19
There are two horses drinking. I try to grab one, just in time. A second crocodile. Five total.
2021-03-19
I head towards the horses to pull them away from the river.
2021-03-19
He sinks in. We see blood in the water. A crocodile pulled him into the water.
2021-03-19
One guy was washing his shirt in the river. Then he enters the water and starts screaming.
2021-03-19
Someone picks it up and puts it in a book.
2021-03-19
But a nearby flower is dying? Who cares?
2021-03-19
The water in the nearby river looks clear.
2021-03-19
We are looking for a tower by the river in Redfane. A long snaking river, that goes into southern Mcgoler.
2021-03-19
Corus-(we are here)->Asgal->Redfeign
2021-03-19
"There's no shelter past Asgal for two weeks."
2021-03-19
The human says to Amos, "It appears that we'll be able to circle the mountainside, and once we head past there, ... we'll be able to hit the edge of Redfeign three days quicker than planned."
2021-03-19
We are in the second wagon.
2021-03-19
The map maker, a frail human, looks through his maps.
2021-03-19
We pack up and get back in the caravan.
2021-03-19
Amos says we should continue despite the attack yesterday. We are 2 days from the nearest outpost.
2021-03-19
Khault sketching something.
You have reached the end.
