DD Chapter 4: The Expedition - Dragon Hunter

Opening

Darkjaw & Jaw Company (Lamarva, Warvillus & 21 zombies) travel the first week with ease, as Darkjaw rolls stellar Survival checks in his Favored Terrain. He finds plenty of ingredients during the day, then at night works with Warvillus on crafting a new body for Nolya’s soul to inhabit. The body is similar to the organic material Warvillus used on the Forest Giant Zombie, but more refined and to Darkjaw’s preference. The organic material is built around Nolya’s bones, ensuring a similar size and shape to the original Nolya.
After their first week, they forage plenty of berries and legumes, but need more meat. Thus, while Warvillus has the zombies set up camp before sunset, Darkjaw & Lamarva go on the hunt.
I had a bunch of marvelous content written here, but World Anvil straight up backspaced/deleted it or whatever. Didn’t consciously do it, if it was a faulty key stroke then there’s no excuse for this software to have an auto save function but no undo button. This is hours of work that just got noped out of existence; nothing, gone, no recovery. But here’s a summary of what happened:

• Darkjaw & Jaw Company travelled the first week of the expedition through the forests of Northeast Vulsemar and hunted a Young Forest Dragon, gaining 3,900 XP and inventory currently listed under Darkjaw’s character sheet. Worked on gathering organic material and combining with Nolya’s bones to make a new body.
• Darkjaw & Jaw Company travelled the second week of the expedition through the mountains of Northeast Vulsemar and were hunted by a Young Storm Dragon. Killed it and gained 5,000 XP, but it downed Warvillus & Lamarva and killed all the zombies of Jaw Company before Darkjaw executed it. Scavenged the dragon for inventory and knowledge currently listed under Darkjaw’s character sheet. Worked on building an acid-poison resistant shield for Nolya and designing a dragon bone spear for her too.
