Aldebaran V4: A Cook and some Slime
General Summary
Having finished with their separate tasks, the party would meet up in the plaza of Cosiax. Having had enough for the day, they would stop by the Sights and Smells and meet with a strange otakawa named Qira. Brutally forthcoming, she'd explain that she needed to travel with the party for the sole reason of her son being kidnapped and threatened by the Pupil. Initially hesistant to accept her, she'd prove her worth by showing that she was a fabulous cook. She also seemed to be hiding some magical talent, though the nature of her weave manipulation was out of the ordinary. Mostly persuaded by her excellent food, the party would accept her.
Resting for the rest of the day, they'd wake up and feel the need to slay slime. Making their way to the kobold enclave, they'd find a town within a city. An impressive and clean little place underneath Cosiax, Duskef would help them enter the sewers from outside. Introducing her to the undead they planned to take with them, she'd make sure they were hidden along their way to the walls. A hidden entrance was revealed, and Duskef would help them out a little more by letting them know where the gelatinous cubes were on a map. With those directions in mind, she'd said she would let other patrols know about their crew and wish them luck.
Entering the sewers from the south, the underground here was far from pleasant. Compared to the kobold enclave, this place reeked. A few of them suffered from this effect, but they persisted nonetheless. Following the directions they were given, the party would come to blows with the cubes. Large and slow moving, they would try to engulf the party. The cubes, however, were not at all tactical. They would simply attack whatever was in front of them, and luckily they had undead with them. Their paralytic slime would have no effect upon the skeletons, and the party got through the encounter relatively unscathed. Finding that they didn't have a proper storage device for the acid though, Qira's shield wok would prove to be good enough to hold the slime. About thirty minutes into the sewer, they decided they had enough and sought the exit.
