A new fey adventurer, giant bugs and ash zombies

by Marya Silverstring

So this time it's about following Dalmir to his secret meetup stuff
It's near dusk time when we start on our way
We wait about 100ft. away from his meeting place
Sebastian, Melech and me, pretty much just killing time
 
When Dalmir comes back, it went well
He got a contact in Zadash
Matt also has family in the city and is a little concerned
Sebastian and me think about making some money on our way to Zadash
Though in any way we plan on starting our trip tomorrow
Then it's back to the tavern!
 
In the tavern, Magnolia is tugging on my ear, trying to get me to go to a human sitting by herself
At first glance she seemed rather unremarkable, but that might change
In any case she labelled the human as 'Magnolia favorite human' which is a little odd, but oh well
 
The topic of the Feywild comes up
Dalmir and I answer, though a little evasive not talking about deals or anything
Sebastian got lost in a wheatfield and found some red wheat in the Feywild oo'
Kerry is really interested in everything
Seb's bread is made from that red Fey wheat, well x'D
Something was hunting them back then
Digging a hole worked for him and Carson, welp
And Sebastian doesn't like magic it seems
Also Kerry has never been to the Feywild
She's just very interested in it
Still weird, that she knows about all that oo'
 
I ask Kerry what she's planning to do
As it would be very mean to Magnolia to put her before the choice to leave our group or Kerry
And hey, Kerry speaks Sylvan!
She also seems a little uppity and carefree, but not necessarily dangerous
It's weird to feel older than someone oo'
Also she lacks several things to travel and is bound to get those for herself
 
Anyway, we go to bed a little later and then are ready to go the next morning!
So we leave Deastock on foot toward the east
As soon as we're far enough away from the city Magnolia and K'van come out
Some time on the road Magnolia flies off with a gold piece from Dalmir
We follow her - my money is on her making a new dress for herself
First she reshapes the goldpieces and exchanges several flower petals with small gold petals
And some smaller plant parts as well
And as expected, she makes a new dress
Magnolia and K'van play hide and seek, though they're invisible while doing so - okay why not xD
 
So ends the first day
At the camp in the night, Sebastian is crafting something
Seems to be some kind of Raven Queen Thingie or something like that
Not my kind of deal
Dinner consists of Goodberries, yummie!
Anyway, night goes over quite easily with our nightwatch
Kerry didn't kill us in the night and also didn't try to rob us, I'm a little disappointed
 
We see some wooden buildings and hear cries
Something about an Ankheg Attack
See a big creature
Also this seems to be the Platinum Mine that's supposed around the area
There is already a pretty dark tailless dragonborn fighting
Are tailless dragonborn a thing? oo'
Or will she be super self conscious about it?
Will it be rude to ask?
Also she got some flaming sword
And she's super tall O.O
Ok there's a second bug and it's trying to eat Melech!
Damnit!
I really didn't want to bite those big bug things...
Also transforming in front of people....
Can't let Melech die still >.<
Please taste like lobster, please taste like lobster, please taste like lobster
And it tastes kind of like ants, damnit! >.<
But at least I get it on it's back
And Kerry seems surprisingly adept with a bow, so that's something!
Both creatures die quite quickly
 
After a short mouth rinsing we get asked to clear the mines
It seems there's payment in it for us
The person in charge seems to be in Zadash
And we'd get a letter to get paid out by him
So into the mines we go
 
Down there I smell smoke, rot and decay
Almost like there was a fire here, which is weird
There's several skeletons and corpses there
From those corpses is ash falling off, which is super weird
Also all of them are missing shadows o.o'''
Oh and our dragonborn lady can spew lightning!
Also Sebastian's light is luring the ash zombies, which puff ash when they're hit oo'
 
Note to self: Those ashzombies tasted super awful as well >.<'
Also hot damn Sebastian is tanking the zombies like crazy
We kill all the creatures and damn my mouth is dry
But yeah, definitely far weirder than big bugs
Also 3 Goodberries left
