With the excitement of the morning over, and our guest "safely" returned to the child's watchful eyes, I decided to take a moment to think. The rest of the party went and took the Duergar to the priestess in an attempt to restore his mind. Ha, I do wonder if he ever had one to begin with.
But I did need a moment to collect my thoughts. So I went for the wizard's general store to see if he could tell me about the tooth I found on the red devourer. I wanted to know if it contained any latent magic I could use for future runes. The wizard recognized it to be a pseudodragon's, and he informed me of the blacksmith's child's affinity for the like.
As I entered the blacksmith's store, I was greeted by two excited halfling children. When I presented the tooth, the child's eyes lit up like gemstones struck by their first rays of sunlight. The child did not seem to know much more about the tooth than the wizard had already told me, but he was so enthralled by the tooth, he offered to buy it from me.
I would not take the money of a child, but who knows, maybe he'll repay me some other way.
