Personal Diary of Zed

About Me
This is a little weird to write because this is my personal diary, but I guess if someone were to find it or stumble across it, they should probably know who I am.

Hi! I’m Zed. If there’s one thing you should know about me it is that my life-long dream is to grow up and be a DRAGON! It’s all I’ve ever wanted. You see, being a Kobold means you are pretty small and the world likes to pick on you. Even worse, I’m a pretty small Kobold, so everyone is picking on little Zed.

I like to label my diary entries, but they show up with the newest entry first. So if you want to avoid secrets and spoilers, you'll have to visit the end of the diary to get to the beginning. Tricky aren't I?!

weeks 30-35: OH boy, it's been awhile

9/29/2022

 
It's been a while since I last wrote in you, let me see, what has happened?

Well, we got our first quest from the council and we headed south to a place that was full of these snake people. We were told that this guy named Verm the White was hiding there. We started looking for him, and then I fell into a trance, or at least that's what Patrin and Mordoc told me.

I guess it was a bit of a trance or something. One minute, I was fighting a giant. Oh yea, we fought this random giant. I caught, well blocked, a big rock that was thrown by it. It was cool.

Anyways, this trance thing I felt, errr, experienced. One minute, I was fighting a giant, then I started seeing stars. In the distance, I could see something, so I started running towards it. It look human like, and that it was very cold where they were, but the weirdest thing happened. I did not matter how fast I could run, I didn't get any closer to the person. THEN, out of nowhere, I must have tripped or something because I then found myself in a bush.

I could hear some voices mentioning that the area was full of Kolbolds. Did I somehow land myself back home? I popped my head out of the bush to see three people being led by another. Was this an adventuring party? Before I could say hello, I found myself looking down the end of an arrow by one of them.  "What are you, who are you?" The rogue-ish looking character said. "Oh, it's so cute! What's your name?" Another said, as they stepped in front of the arrow and knelt down to look at me. "Um, hi, I'm Zed! Do you like dragons?" I quickly exclaimed.

"You know, we just encountered a dragon no too long ago, it was cool and scary. My name is Ashryn, but you can call me Ash. Don't pay any attention to Leah, she likes to shoot first and ask questions second. And over there is Torga. We're adventurers you see"

"Adventurers! I am too! Well, I was adventuring with my friends Patrin and Mordoc, but um, I don't know where they went. I saw stars and then I ended up here in this bush." I explained.

"Oh, well, we're about to finish up a quest to find and rescue someone, want to join?" asked Ash.

"Sure!" and I joined them on their little adventure. We continued to follow this guide of sorts until they led us to a tunnel, well, more of a drain of some kind.  The guide popped the lid and said, "Hop in."  It was a sewer, but it was the nastiest thing I could have ever expected.

We emerged in the heart of a city, guess the tunnel was to get under the wall guarding the city. It was full of these things called zombies! Can't say I've ever seen one before, but they sure looked a lot dumber than humans.

At the end of the street, we could see a building with a light on, which was much different than all the other buildings that were boarded up. We dashed through the crowd of zombies. I realized I ran much faster than the rest of the crew and Torga was so SLOOOOW. We manage to get to the building and sure enough, there was the guy they were looking for! Mission accomplished!

I said good bye and just as I started walking away, I started seeing stars again. Not this again! Maybe I can go back to my party? Again, I saw the human creature thing and started running towards it. Again, no matter how hard I ran, it didn't matter. This time, I could hear someone calling my name.

"Zed, Zed, Zed." It was a familiar voice. It was Patrin!

Just like that I snapped out of the trance and found myself back with my crew. There was no time for explanations, they looked and me and said, "It's time to fight Zed."

We turned a corner in this building we were in. I had no idea where we were. All I know is that there were these snake looking people and VERM! All we needed to do was fight. It was a little challenge, but we managed to eliminate the snake people and took Verm. He was beat up and didn't have his white mask. UGH! That's why we needed to find him.

We brought him back with us to Waterdeep so that the council could take care of him properly, whatever that means.  One done quest earns another as they say and a new challenge was given to us by the lady from council.

She mentioned that there was this wizard named Macap the Crimson or something like that. She was a tiefling that was exploring the great north, but those she had been communicating with haven't heard from her in sometime. I asked what a tiefling was and she described exactly who I saw when I was seeing stars!  I told the party we need to go as the tiefling looked not well, at least that's what I saw.

In order to go north, we hopped aboard a ship. The captain is named Rooster Have Face. A weird name, but I just call him Rooster. As we made our trek, it got COLD. I couldn't feel it because of my wonderful ring, but I could see ice build up on everything when the crew wasn't busy knocking down the built up ice.  We were cruising along, when to Octopus climb there way onto the ship. They were no match for us, though one of them did manage to try and grab Valdis. Just as we thought the coast was clear (get it?) a group of these things called Merrow tried to crash into our ship and take it down.

They were unsuccessful in taking the ship down, but now we're left to fight.
