Soot's Journal: Soot's Spidy Senses

As we continue to make our way towards the ladies, we reenter the room with the dead rats. On a table, my eye catches a stone figurine of a doggy! It was shaped like a husky and had two small termalaine eyes, it could be worth a few shiny pieces for sure!

As I was taking a look at the figurine, Madu noticed a faint scream in the distance and called out that our friends are in danger. We rushed out of the room and encountered two kobolds blocking the wooden bridge over a chasm. We threatened to kill them and scared them off so that we could pass.

After getting the kobolds to run off, we find a small hole that drops about fifteen feet. But, the rope was attached to a bucket, and would take to long to raise and lower for all of us. As far as I could tell, Luna was in mortal danger, so I channeled my nature powers to wild shape into a Giant Wolf Spider! With my nasty little spider legs, I made my way down the wall with haste. When I reached the bottom I could see the danger at last... a big brain monster, with tentacles and a big bird-like beak was attacking Luna and Electra! Apparently, this creature is called a Grell.

Dyleth jumped down the hole after me, then Madu, and together we rushed at the Grell! I get angry seeing the monster attack my sister, and while entering a rage I clacked my spider mandibles together and bite the Grell! My companions continue to attack into the monster, hoping to slay it before it hurts anyone too badly. As we continue to cut into it, Madu crushed its brain with a mighty punch, killing it on impact.

We cut out its tongue, and I removed its beak in order to add it to my necklace. I also heal Luna's injuries, and started to collect the loose gems in the room while we discussed what to do next. Eventually we find three Kobolds who get ready to attack. I intimidate them, but they being to run away, so we give chase, following and scaling the walls deeper into the cavern.

Eventually we reach a dead end with nothing but gems on the walls. I smash one of the them and pick up the shards of geodes. With a dead-end, and nothing but a massive gap in front of us, I summon Cinder to help! He appears in a beautiful inferno, and with a flash of fire we all evaporate to ash and reappear on the other side of the gap like a pheonix being reborn! We open the door, and find a massive line of Kobolds ready to attack us...

Apparently they have a leader named Trex. He is slightly larger, and has fake wings made of sticks and leather. We argue back and forth for some time, I could barely keep my cool. I almost lost it and attacked at least five times! But, eventually we reached a mild conclusion and decided to take Trex back to the town, but he seems to have something up his sleeve. On the way out of the cave, with some deductive reasoning and interrogation we learn that Trex serves a dragon, but he won't tell us who... He claimed to serve the same dragon as Electra, which honestly I find terrifying! I had no idea she served a dragon before now... But, if Electra serves a dragon, maybe he isn't too scary?

Madu gets pissed off at Trex and lifts him into the air, choking him as he dangled. I finally got fed up with the lies, so I opened the kobold's mouth and put my blade against his tongue, demanding the truth or he loses his tongue. Finally, he gave in and revealed himself to be no a kobold, and that his true name was Janth Alowar...
