Traving as a cloud has had more of an advantage then just speed and distance. From my vantage point I have observed many beasts. As soon as we rid the treat of the Lynch Queen, I think I’ll make a bestiary of all the beasts in all my travels. That would help train other protectors in the art of wild shape back home. We had decided to see what is happing with the Deep Gnomes, it seems strange that Petal doesn’t care about her people. It intrigues me to find out what happened.
We arrive to the town to find an army stationed here. We were able to speak with a woman with Elfish decent named Laliana Artufoss. She seemed rude and short with us but I think its because of how busy she it and what is going on in her town. We explain that we will help and the other broker a deal for our efforts. What I see next insured me to do something about the issue at hand. Hundreds of starving homeless Gnomes that can barely handle the light of the outside world are left to fend for themselves. The Army is here only to keep them out of the town, but I understand why. There is not enough crop or livestock in this town to support its residents and twice the population. As I offered money, I realized this, and they surely would not make the trip to the next town. The rest of the party wen back into town to research when the gnomes said ran them out of their home and I stayed with the gnomes I cast Good Berry as may times as I could. I also started Nak’Cue’s Class of Day light Survival. I got about 30 Gnomes and Taught them to make traps and showed them where critters would travel. Also had 30 others that I Showed what plants to eat and the ones to stay away form. I expect this would not help for long but at least I gave them something to do instead of laying in the muck. I then had my 60 students start teaching an apprentice that when they felt comfortable would take an apprentice of their own. At least some of the gnomes would survive if we failed in our mission. I do see that we must kill this Worm that spits acid, if we fail this part of the land will not be livable for the town or the gnomes. I find it interesting the town would have been okay long enough to train them to fend for themselves and not have to feed and army to keep them out. What I have come to learn in my travels is that humanoids are greedy and seem to care only about their family, selves, or religion destroying the nature around them.
We spent days in the underground, Drizzy decided to stay above ground, I support that. We happened to stroll into a village of Koldbold’s that although, they seem to be helpful now I have a feeling they would turn on us if it was in their favor. Strange that they haven’t fled their home… Anyhow we found this massive worm that seemed to not mind Munnins daggers. Ozymandius had cut its head off and I healed the party while thy start filling their bags with loot. After traveling in cloud form out of the Underdark we advise the deep gnomes that they are safe to return home. That felt like the greatest thing I have done on my travels I am proud of this group. Now if I could get them to not worry so much about money, I would feel like I have shown them that there are other ways to be wealthy.
