Bedknobs and sheep sticks
General Summary
Chronicler: Juko
Companions:
Histix
Sylvar
Body: Our group set out to go exploring towards the northwest. As we crossed the bridge and got further away from the town, we sensed the weather getting colder, and more than just the change of seasons, the temperature seemed to drop significantly while we were travelling. First night resting on our trip, we got the sense something was following us, but not until the second night did we figure out why. We spotted a sheep standing at the edge of the light from our campfire. Being wary of the dangers of the night, we approached carefully, though the sheep turned out to be of no danger. In its mouth was a scroll of paper that it nudged us to take. Scroll of speak with animals, but of somewhat primitive quality. I read from the scroll, which gave us all the ability to speak with and understand the sheep. The sheep revealed himself to be a polymorphed wizard named Shinebright. Our conversation was however quickly interrupted by a big troll-like creature calling himself Gus followed by wolves and a bear saying they had come to fetch the sheep for their master Noke. Our group tried to convince Gus to let us bring the sheep to master Noke, but Gus refused and eventually we had to fight him and his beasts to keep them away from the sheep. I took some heavy hits from the troll and the freezing aura of cold around it knocked me out. Histix took out a wolf with a bonk with his staff, but was soon after also knocked down by the troll. Sylvar brought me up with some healing and I brought up Histix, and then we finished the troll and his companions that were now trying to drag Shinebright away. Shinebright then revealed that Noke was his apprentice and he was the one that turned him into a sheep, using a Wand of Greater Polymorph, which was also the only thing that could reverse Shinebrights condition. Noke had then taken over Shinebrights tower and seemingly kept polymorphed companions to do stuff for him while keeping Shinebright captive. Our group asked Shinebright about the cave in the area, which Shinebright said he had run past hearing screams and maniacal laughter, which we decided to check out another day to instead help Shinebright back to his regular self. Our group then travelled with Shinebright to his tower. Approaching stealthily, we saw 3 armed gorillas and a bear guarding the tower. Histix managed to stay hidden throwing an entire tidal wave onto the gorillas. We tried to sneak around and cause further distractions to lure the beast guardians away. Noke poked out of the tower multiple times to see the source of the noise, but believed it was his beasts being noisy. Histix then, taking a step too far out of the shadows, got spotted by the bear. Having been disturbed multiple times however, Noke didn’t immediately come out and check on the action. The gorillas attacked us while the bear left to fetch Noke. Our group then fortified ourselves in a small house outside the tower and took down the guards as they tried to get inside and get us. Noke briefly joined the battle before escaping back to the tower after getting hit by my glaive. We then tried to enter the tower, but were met by a storm of splinters from inside. A dragon made of wood and bedsheets stormed out, doing heavy damage to our party. Histix tried to throw some fire at the dragon, seemingly very effective at damaging it, but also at bringing it’s attention on himself. Histix tried to gain some distance, but to no avail, the dragon brought him low and finished him off with a massive bite. Sylvar and I avenge our companion by taking down the dragon and Noke surrenders, giving us the Wand of True Polymorph. After dragging Histix's body away, Sylvar tried to use the wand to return Shinebright to his original form, but the wand malfunctioned and instead turned him into a fleshy abomination attacking Sylvar and knocking him down. I then tried the wand again and managed to turn Shinebright back into his original form. Noke apologized to Shinebright for his actions, and was forgiven in a tearful moment. Sylvar got permission to take whatever he felt like from the tower as reward but Shinebright was not happy when Sylvar came out with all the expensive lab equipment. We instead agreed to bring Shinebright and Noke back to town so they can help us there. The Cemetery gets upgraded and Histix is the first to be buried there. From rocks he came, to rocks he returns.
