Lizards in a hole

by Nepheri

Kobolds. I'm not impressed.
 
Besides some general things, such as some shiny horseshoes, the cave the vrock had supposedly inhabited contained a summoning symbol. No gate to close, but this might be it? We destroyed it anyway, though I'm not sure that does anything. And we heard voices deep underground. Voices that turned out to belong to kobolds.
 
I think Dworik is quite happy to work with stone again. I guess it's in the blood of a dwarf, though I prefer not to think of what that means is in the blood of my veins.
 
The creatures had locked themselves in after their wish of having a dragon had come true but resulted in a few of them being eaten. So... Dragon, huh. They described it as shadowy, which isn't exactly a colour I've heard of. There are black ones, right? Maybe that's it? In any case, it's hiding out nearby. It is hidden behind the secret entrance to a cave with an illusion protecting its actual lair. It's really trying to be stealthy. However, I'm feeling very tapped out, and both Ellywick and Dworik are quite injured, so we paid the kobold who had helped us with some food and headed back to rest.
 
Before sleeping, I cast Sending to reach our contact in the Waterdeep Watch, roughly explaining what had happened. We have a go-ahead with the dragon and a promise of reward. They also messaged me and asked if protection was needed. I said that the houses here were quite vulnerable, but the city itself should be safe.
 
With that, I guess I'm going to turn in for the night.
