Green Scales

16 Alturiak 1489 DR


A couple nights ago the family we saved told us about a farm that we could stay at for free. Sleeping in the barn reminded me of all my nights in the ruins. Sure, Inn's are comfy, but I feel more at home sleeping like this.

I was the first to awaken that morning and quietly snuck out. Feeding Cwl was my top priority. After that, I ran into the owner of the farm, Qelline Alderleaf, a female halfling. She was very kind and said she was cooking us some breakfast. I offered to help and she gladly excepted. Her house was small and cozy. I had never been in a kitchen before but she was nice about teaching me how to make the food. Her son, Carp, was running around until he was told to play outside. I thought about my mother for a second but quickly pushed away the memory.

Once the food was done we took it outside and the others were finally awake. We sat down to a nice meal and...I don't want to say this or even accept this but...it was like a nice family meal. I hadn't felt like that in a long time. It doesn't matter though. After this is all over I won't see any of these people again. Besides Catscratch. Or maybe he'll leave on his own, I don't know.

In the middle of our meal, one of the kids we saved ran over. She told us about more goblin raids. It was time to find these goblins and stop them.

We went to the scene of the crime, found footprints and hurried into the forest. We came upon a large cave with obvious signs of goblins.

Inside we fought our way and found Sildar Hallwinter. We saved him and sent him back to town. Eventually, we ran into a bugbear who was the leader of the goblins. He put up a good fight but we defeated him.

Back in town, Sildar told us everything that happened. He asked about Gundren but we still haven't found him. He told us of a man that lives in Thunder Tree that may know more about goblin hideouts around the area.

It took a day and a half but we finally made it. Thunder Tree was nothing but ruins of buildings and overgrown grass. Small grass monsters attacked us immediately. As we fought, a female Half-Elf walked out of a nearby building and started helping us. She introduced herself as Winny.

After the fight, we ran into a druid who said he'd tell us anything if we could help him get rid of a dragon in the area. He also told us about some cultists from a group called Cult of the Dragon hanging around as well.

We ended up running into the green dragon. It used smooth words to lure us in before attacking us with its poison breath. The fight was long and hard. Catscratch and Rain almost died. Luna was crying. I had no other choice but to walk into the poison gas and risk dying in order to hopefully finish the dragon off. I succeeded.

We then learned about another goblin hideout in the area but decided to rest and heal up before continuing on.

The Redbrands

13 Alturiak 1489 DR Today we decided to do some shopping. Catscratch went off on his own to who knows where while Luna and I visited the Shrine of Luck. Luna gave a coin in hopes for some good luck. If she wants to waste her coin on such things, by all means. But luck isn't going to help you survive in this world. Catscratch quickly appeared before us and even brought someone I've never seen before, a tall cat with a leafy looking cloak. A Tabaxi, I believe they're called. She introduced herself as Rain and told us she had also been hired but was running late. She was asking around town for Gundren but found out about him missing. We decided to deal with the Redbrand situation once and for all after hearing how they were kidnapping people from the town. Once inside the hideout, we were separated when the floor collapsed from underneath us. Luna and I were on one side, Catscratch and Rain on the other. We reluctantly decided to split up. I was honestly a little worried a...

The Book Thief (Part 2)

22 Eleint 1489 DR We finally met up with the head librarian and he told us about some of his staff missing. He told us to check the archives since that's where the two were suppose to be on duty today. The archives were huge but we found the area. We were too late once we noticed the dead body hunched over a table with piles of books. We did notice two of the books that were stolen were now open on the table with pages ripped out about the Pool of Radiance. Suddenly, a shockwave and rumble rang through out the archives as all the book cases toppled over. A hole was blown into a wall and we went to investigate. We found a room with old, burnt, books and were attacked by shadows. Luna was downed quickly while the rest of us finished them off. With Luna back on her feet, we hurried through another hole in the wall and ended up in the sewers. Luna caused these giant centipedes to fall asleep as we snuck by. After two hours of walking we ended up in the mouth of a cave and in the middle...

Fairy Dust

30 Alturiak 1489 DR We've finally reached Red Larch. I was pretty familiar with the area since it's so close to the city of Yartar and, well, my ruins. We decided to help out some guy by killing wolves for pelts. As we entered the Krypt Garden Forest, we ran into a small pixie named Quill and his hedgehog steed Spike. This pixie wanted us to help him find a magical well that apparently heals any mounds. His wings were broken so he was hoping to get them fixed. We agreed to help in the morning as Quill lead us to the fairy trees. Small houses hung from branches. This was my first time ever seeing fairies before and never knew if they truly existed or not. I did barter for a rune stone. Pretty sure I got fire. Time to camp out. Guess I have first watch. In the morning we headed off deeper into the forest. It was darker and quieter, even with the sun high in the sky. Kinda reminded me of the forest surrounding the tribe. Theres nothing to fear in the dark, I've found out. ...
