Session 11

## Session Notes

### Session 11 - Dragons are just big pigeons.

We start the session with Coda and Ejholan, who have become separated from the group in their search for the ‘missing’ Melchior. The two are attacked by a vulture, two chickens and some ducks. Whilst escaping the scene, they see a green dragon in the clearing they just escaped from. They get back to the group with two ducks from the battle to eat for their supper. At this sight, Xia and Maggie are distraught, and ask why they have killed the duckish gentleman. It is explained to them that if an animal isn’t wearing clothes, then you are allowed to kill it and eat it as food, and tell them that a dragon is like an evil pigeon that is as big as a house. Coda and Ejholan also get to see Melchior without his helmet, and we find that if you look at Melchior’s eye and throat crystals for long enough, the insides slightly and slowly swirl. Melchior tells us that he knows the face of the person who put the stones into him, and that he believes they are the worst people to ever exist.

We head back to Frammerly, and find a number of soldiers outside of the Post Office. Telmund goes over to investigate and finds that the Post Office has been vandalised, and whoever has done it has been branded a ‘crime doer’. Melchior also goes over and has a slight argument with one of the soldiers, and Eva manages to somehow diffuse the situation (with the help of a subtle Telmund Suggestion spell). Eva now believes that she is incredible at calming Melchior down. We head out on the road towards Feathertop, and whilst on the journey, Xia tries to identify Melchior’s eye. She got blasted back 20ft and took a lot of damage to her hand. We follow the map towards Androsa, and find nothing there except swirling sand that damages us when we try to walk through it. We check upwards and find nothing except darkness and stars. Maggie checks around the area and finds some cacti. After 15 minutes of walking through the sand and getting hurt, we turn around and decide to camp on the edge of the sandstorm. We watch in the morning as the sun rises North to South, and the sandstorm finally settles. We watch as off in the distance figures emerge from the ground and begin sweeping sand up off the ground. As small Dwarf wearing a handkerchief headscarf and large goggles emerges from the ground near a cactus. He has black hair that looks almost navy in the sunlight, that is rather puffy ontop of his head. He wears leather trousers, a light top and boots that lace up to the knee. His beard is trimmed short, which Telmund asks him about, and he tells us that he shaves it short because of the heat. He tells us his name is Porgin and informs us of the area. Below the surface there is Down, which is a small houses network where the citizens of Androsa live, and Double Down, a market area for socialising and trading.

We travel onwards, and just as the day turns to night, we get attacked by two giant lumbering figures in the desert. One is holding a large tree and another is brandishing a fish. The fight is hard. At one point, Xia, Trip and Ejholan are all down on the ground, bleeding out whilst on fire, with Maggie beside them, barely alive and also on fire. Eva fires some of the sickest shots you’ve ever seen in a game of D&D. We decided to go down below the ground for safety, and that’s where we leave this session.
