Week 3 - surprises

​It was a trap. The big mean cultists and some guards were there to TRY AND KILL US! Pátrin was still a bear and would you believe that the bears can climb? I couldn’t see through all the fur, but we were able to get right into the action. The Cultists and Guards did a wicked job and didn’t see me through the fur that they attacked the bear. I jumped out and started doing some punching and POW, knocked out 4 out of the 6 meanies! That’ll teach them not to mess with little Zed.

We headed back to the Keep with a couple prisoners and started asking them a bunch of questions. Well I didn’t ask questions because the cultists are big meanies. Mordoc is taking jabs at how little I am. I have to keep my eyes on him. I sat in the corner and read my book of dragon facts and tried to calm myself back down after such a big fight. They told us about a camp not too far away full of cultists and villagers as they try to plan for the Queen of Dragons. Led by Rashmere (sp?), Cultists keep telling us we’re too late, but I don’t believe them.

OUT OF NOWHERE, a blue dragon flew over and destroyed a guard. I was fascinated and terrified at the same time. It kept flying around and the party didn’t know what to do. I surely wasn’t going to fight it. I watched the blue dragon blast a guard into dust!  We were all shaking  in the Governor’s shelter when all of a sudden I felt a grip around the back of my neck. The Governor picked me up and said, “You, little one, go try and talk to the dragon, you look like one of them.”

FIRST OF ALL, I’m a Kobold!!! SECOND, how am I going to talk to something so big and powerful. It’s not like I took tiny little steps and kept shouting, “Mr. Dragon. Oh, Mr. Dragon.” Oh wait, that’s exactly what happened! I learned that his name is Lennithon, but I’m going to call him Lenny. Lenny flew down and asked what I wanted. Shaking uncontrollably, I started to mutter that I wanted him to leave this place alone. Surely, Lenny had better things to do. I even shared a Dragon fact with Lenny. Lenny seemed kind of amused by it and complimented me on being one of the strangest little ones he’s ever met.

Anyways, I was able to ask Lenny what would it take for him to go away and he said that if we would agree to kill this Furlong Mothbat, whatever that is, Lenny would just fly around and pretend to attack the Keep. I agreed and just as I was about to go get the party, we heard a big crash and all of a sudden a bunch of bullies showed up from the northside of the Keep and they looked mean. Pátrin shapeshifted into a Wolf again. We made quick work of the group. It felt pretty good.

Just when we thought it was over, we heard a noise come from the front of the Keep and of course of all things, it was more Cultists, Guards, and Kobolds! Even though I was latched onto my noble wolf friend, I was so scared. I shouted up to Lenny to see if he’d be gracious enough to lend a quick claw, but alas, the deal was the deal.

We fought, and we fought. I took a couple good pokes from my Kobold brothers, but we were able to protect the Keep. Will there be rest soon? I’m scared and sore.
