Cousin Companion

by Never Nestknitter

After we got some shut-eye in the Drake's cave, we set out for home. We stopped in Dissengnikktok and got an in for the night. While we were ther, the most excitin' thing happened! We met a fellow Engrabden Halfling! Holy Heckin' Hotcakakes, what an exciting turn of events. Well course I asked all my questions. HE looked confused but did tell me he's called, "Malcom Barubus Winslow Stonebriar the 33rd, or, Abby for short." He says he's kinda a folk hero where he's from, just like me! Well, he's a true halfling cuz he buys acoupla bottles of wine for the whole table. I think he's gonna stick around with us for a while.
 
Well, we found a notice bout a job that sound suited for us, so we took it. It was at Edwin & Sons mine. A few miners had gone missin', an' folks wanted answers. THere was a pretty mural in one room. Arc said it predates the catastrophe. Man alive, that's a mighty long time. We find a whole buncha nothin until we found a whole messa sumthin'. Two green slimes to be exact! Good ol' Abby zapped 'em both with some sacred spell of his. I knew he was a good egg!
 
The we find a load of spider webs. We burned away the web and came upon 2 big ol' spiders and 2 zombies. Spiders have never bothered me but these were my first zombies. I was as excited as a pup with a squeaky toy! Someone, I didn't see who killed one spider, then Arc got the other one. Bob got the final blow on the first zombie, and wouldn't ya know it, instead of dyin' it turned into a swarm a spiders! We managed to kill the other zomie and all the spiders eventually. It was a pretty easy job, but still very excitin'! I can't wait to tell everyone in Qorin what I've been up to. GUess I should leave a note for Fari, to, case she checks in.
