Borin: My Life as a Chew Toy

Ahm a liability to the party. Ma chest seems to whistle and ah cannae focus… Ah’ll help **Plank** head home, the lad also looks pretty rough. Not as rough as ah feel but still pretty bad!

Lathander be praised, finally some luck. We’re both sick from some sort of disease from the tomb. Lathander’s light healed us both and ah cannae help but feel it was divine providence to ensure we were together for the trip home.

There’s a group heading oot and they look awful green… some o’them literally! **Brokilon** might be among the strangest folk ah’ve seen as a walking tree type! Seems nice enough though. There’s a giant demon looking fella named **Hogosha** and a sneaky Loxodon by the name of **Edmund Mills, Esq.** and as if that crew weren’t weird enough, there’s a construct called **Bolt**. They look keen but ahm glad to see **Plank** joining too. A friendly, reliable face is always welcome!

An unusual meeting on the road saw us bump into Bob and his lovely wife “Babe”. Much more pleasant than oor normal encounters oot here! We swapped some stories aboot the Ettinheights and a problematic area to the north o’ tha mausoleum. We’ll take a look to see if we can clear it up for ‘em - they’re good folks it seems…

Morning comes and the blessing o’ the morning lord brings gifts. Plank seems to have been gifted with a new sword! I just hope he doesnae need to use it any time soon.

Curse ma bones, ah shouldnae have hoped… we found the wagon right enough and tracked a group of lizard folk and kobolds until we were ambushed by some. The team fought well together although there were a few wounds ter patch up! We might need to think aboot how much we bite off, some of them are a might squishy!

We found a large temple that we needed to swim a moat ter reach it. Knocking on tha door kickstarted one ah the weirdest afternoons ah can remember. **Plank** got proper fucked by a number of Kobolds as soon as he opened the door. Brave lad took the beating like a champ though and held his feet. Ah didnae think we were equipped fer a head-on assault so ah shouted down ter them and wouldn’t ye know it, they were pretty damn agreeable! Turns oot they’re holed up here after some internal squabbles. They’ve got a dragon called Nox in charge and we’re gonna head doon ter see her once we’ve rested a bit. If we can rest with **Plank** playing with that giant croc!!

They told us there was another giant croc to deal with, but we first snuck up on a giant snake basking in the sun. Killing it while it digested one of the kobold guards, our audience of other kobolds seemed impressed and let us into their storeroom. The Swobold and Alchemist were happy to leave us in there while they went to join the feast with their chums - we resisted the urge to loot. It’s grand to adventure with upstanding types again! Further south, we saw the croc…

Ah figured the others wouldnae stand up to a hit from tha beast so ah thought ter draw it in for the others ter hit… as smart as my luck has been, the thing hit me like a wagon and clamped doon on me chest! The others wailed on it until it released me and fled… a “partial” success?

Travelling further south we met with a kobold called Yurd. She filled us in on the problems caused by part of the group led by Ruinelle. Seems Nox isnae happy with all the attention Ruinelle has been stirring up with the raiding of goods. But being a proud creature, Yurd was worried aboot how to handle the situation. In speaking with Nox, we showed her the proper respect and she agreed to the return of our goods if we dealt with the Stinging Mist Tribe. Seems like a fair deal.

Also, we must warn Uklah to be on her guard - Nox has stated they will kill any lizardfolk they find!

Now, I need a lie doon to rest from all these reptile bites!
