Moving Right Along...

After talking with the fey in the maze area, they tell us that we need some blood from various dragons to strengthen the blood line for the crystal. The closest dragon lives near lake Galifar 500 miles northwest of us, but they haven't heard from it lately. They told us to contact the Seekers of Thir (a bunch of kobolds that worship the original three dragons) to help us find the dragon. The dragon is probably near the Eldeen Reaches where my sister lives. They also tell us we can force the elemental out of the dirt if we place a ring of the red shards around it.

On our way back to town, we are attacked by four undead chipmunks. We kill them and Miles loots the bodies. He got a vial of T-virus so now he can make his own pet zombie.

We get to town late so we head to the inn for dinner and a rest. The innkeeper seems shocked to see us and says we've been gone two days. She thought we were going to stiff her and was about to sell our belongings to make up the money! We paid her the back rent and for tonight. She asked if we found any moon peppers for her. I told her we looked but couldn't find any. While eating in the common room, we hear about the ghost house is more active than normal. We don't have time for that, so we head to our rooms to sleep it off.

I tell Donaar to send a letter to the rail camp foreman to keep him updated.

Donaar, Miles, and I go to the local church to see if they can remove the curse on the local tree. They tell us the local guards freed the skull that we brought in last week. I love stupid town guards! Miles asks about the curse, but they say that they can't remove it. It happened on the Day of Mourning, so I claim that the world tree now has Mourning Sickness.

We get ready to leave for the other tree I saw at the top of the obelisk. Wabnuc want's his shiny metal giant, so we decide to get a cart and have it delivered to Barrel-Dwarf's camp. We are using Wabnuc's pet giant to pull the cart.

Barrel-dwarf is upset that the frog-men are tossing his camp every night. He says it has something to do with their eggs being nicked. Whatever, let him deal with them.

We load up the cart and get on our way. It's boring sitting in the cart, but uneventful. Near evening, we roll up on four half-ogres around a fire roasting a dire wolf. They seem awful interested in our metal giant. As we leave, I keep my eyes peeled for them following us. Wabnuc sees them off in the distance, and I say we should ambush them! We set up a little trap and the stupid things fall right into it! I manage to kill one that climbed onto the giant. We loot the bodies and get 250 gp, 2 sp, and 10 cp. (62 gp, 5 sp, and 7 cp each). We decide to take to make camp for the night and make it through the night with no problems.

I was talking with Des at the campfire and he suggested that I look for a clawfoot mount. Then I might be able to see above the grass. Ha ha! I can see over the grass, unless it's too tall. Hmm. Maybe he is right. I'll ask him to see if he can lure a nice tall male with his incessant crooning tomorrow.
