The Watcher

by Petaluma Pitsniffer

So we discover there's a thing called The Watcher and these people want us to kill if for them. I don't know why their problem is our problem, but whatever. Apparently itcan be found in the deep, and it's a minion of something darker nd more powerful. They describe it as a giant eye, surrounded by eyes. I tell the others is sounds like a Beholder, which is bad fucking news for us. I warn or magicy boys that tey might need to find another way to fight this thing. When we find the thing, we find out it's not a Beholder but a Death Kiss. They aren't as bad s beholders, but still pretty deadly. The Death Kiss has long stalks that seem to have about a 20 foot reach each, and the stalks have sort of like hands on the ends. When the thing attacks, it seems to heal itself. Well Freya and I are doing our thing, dealing and taking lots of damage, trying to keep the others safe while they do their things. We're both getting pretty beat up, but that's OK, it's our job right? Plus we were doing a pretty good job of taking this thing out. Great right? Well then fucking Ozzy casts a spell that doesn't do anything to Kissyface, but it puts ME to sleep! Why he thought taking out his own team would be a good idea, I'll never know, but I guess it is kind of on brand for him. Apparently, someone managed to kill it while I was napping. Then they woke me up, AFTER all of the excitement. Oh well. At least the thing is dead I guess. I have a feeling I won't have to wait long to kick some ass on something else. Hopefully we won't all die.
