Battle!
Now the group not only has their normal set up, but they also have a very accomplished rouge (the girl) and two dire rats!!!
Ok. Now only one dire rat. Little Eddy... Uh... Well he was very enthusiastic.
Yea little Eddy got eaten. He was very brave and charged in to kill the snake, in service if his new master who rescued him from a horrible life circumstance. But saddly the little guy just wasn't fast enough. Take comfort in that he died quickly.
Now everyone one is MAADDDDDDDD.
Frankly I feel sad for the snake.
The whole group goes to work, hitting that snake with everything they got. Funny enough, Big Eddy gets some REALLY good hits. Go rat!
So fairly basic battle. Gram gets knocked out I'm sure. I think Qila also gets hit pretty bad. But they keep going and eventually take down the giant snake. Which is awesome. (Sorry. I really don't remember how this battle went. -10 points.)
Once dead, the snake sort of... Deflates. And what's left is the cobra from before, also dead. Gram, always looking for ingredients or getting knocked out, decideds to grab one of the snake fangs. Ornak also grabs one which comes in handy later ;).
So the snake is dead. The girl is saved. The kobolds have been swept under the proverbial rug. Good job team Alpha Wolf Squadron! (New name? I think yes.)
So the girl, whose name is Charity, decides she'd better explain herself... But before she did she wanted to take them to her home so they could understand better. So she leads them back through the sewers down one of the paths they didn't take and eventually make it to a deep chasm in the sewer floor. It's way to far across to jump and climb. But, they all see Charity push one of the stones on the wall, and it lowered a sort of platform for them to walk across. When on the other side, she raises the platform.
A few seconds later she was at the castle. (No saddly... Not really a castle. It's actually just a large empty room made into a makeshift house. In the corner were two more girls, younger than Charity.
They are her sisters.
She introduces them as Hope and Grace, and then explains... That Grace is very sick. :(
She has a rare disease that is expensive to cure. Charity had been stealing things to save up money... But didn't have nearly enough. What she did have was saved in a small metal box that she had enchanted to teleport people away from it.
O_O oops.
The decide to return the money (much to the displeasure if Gram) but end up keeping the ring cause it's awesome.
Now I'm sure you're wondering what the girl has that is so horrible. It's a rare blood disease. Stickittodamonneosis. Never heard of it? You're lucky. Cause it's hell.
So what is it that will cure the girl? Well it is rumored that there is a statutet that if you pray to it will cute anything you have, but then crumble to dust. (Opps 2: We should have saved the statue.)
So the group decide to help out. What else can cure the disease. Feather from a great white owl.
Ok... Not THAT white owl. I said great. As in big. Not great as in epic... Though I guess both apply. But I digress...
So it turns out, Charity is a highly skilled rouge (mentioned above), Hope is a skilled Mechanist (she made the wall thingy) and Grace is showing signs of being a Psionic (psychic). Charity offers to go with and help get the feather. Hope makes the snake fang Ornak took into a snake fang javelin. And Grace... Cute little Grace... Walks up to Qila and asks "please... I want to go with you on adventures too. *cough cough*"
After some though they decided that was a bad idea. But the couldn't just leave them in the sewer.
They all talk about it and agree that they need to take the girls topside. They head back through the sewers and make it out. Now to an inn to get the girls a room and even managed to find a small mechanist shop for the second girl to work it :) awesome!
Now to find that feather....
RETRACTION: I MESSED UP THIS PART. ORNAK IS THE ONE WENT TO THE SHOP. HOWEVER THIS NEXT PARAGRAPH ABOUT GRAM IS 100% ACCURATE.
Now Gram, while tiny and weaker than Percy Weasleys swag game, is well versed in the ways of charisma. And he's fairly attractive, as said before. So he decideds to head to some of the apothecaries in order to procure said great white owl feather.
This is what happens:
Ornak: yo! What's up playa? I be needin dem great white owl leafs, if you know what I be sayin? They dope for supa swag, amiright? #yoloswagins #fellowshipofthebling
Shopkeeper: eh?
Ornak: I would like to procure of the feather belonging to the great white owl, my good sir.
Shopkeeper: ha! Want some dragons teeth too? Or maybe my firstborn?
Ornak: I don't appreciate the snark.
A few shops later Gram fondly finds out that there are NO owl feathers in town BUT they can retrieve them from a mountain nearby.
Awesome!!
The group gathers together and start talking about how to get out.
(And don't suggest a giant slide, or a trampoline... Cause we already tried those...)
That's when Charity pipes up and tells then she knows how to get them out! Through the sewers... Again.
The group sets out, taking Charity with them as she's sneaky and awesome. She leads them through the sewer to a new room. She walks across no problem, however, the rest of the group nearly gets eaten.
I give you!!!! The giant fiendish crocodile!!! (Totally crocodiles in the sewer... Not alligators.)
There is no way they are going to beat this thing... Lucky! Tis' asleep. So they should be able to sneak past pretty easily...
Except one problem. Gram.
He is about as sneaky and a fat guy at a Buffett.
So here's the plan... Throw him.
Ornak makes it across. Readies himself. He is SOOOOOOO ready.
Vaylan is gonna trow him aaaaannnnddd... Gram wiggles away and runs across. Thankfully he didn't wake up the crocodile... Lame.
So they are all across and head to the surface!!! What adventures will they encounter next? Join us next time on Pokemon!
