We found most of the children in a courtyard, distraught but healthy. They knew the direction that their brother had been taken, and we headed off in pursuit, telling the children to stay put. As we climbed the stairs we heard a growling sound above us and as we crested the stairs we saw a moderately-sized dinosaur standing over an unconscious boy.

Bravely we attacked and with the first blow the dinosaur morphed in size and shape, becoming even more devastating. Each time we struck it, it grew. Mommy, my first animation met it's end during the fight. Amazed by it's ability to change shape reflexively it took me a while to follow the tactics prescribed by Brilla. Apparently she was quite wounded by the creature. I must admit to wondering if the size change was inherent, and would get passed along if animated.

Scream from inside the Emperor's Summer Home

Wild15.png

Nathaniel-skull.gif Nathaniel: While entering the Emperor's Summer Home, Brilla and I heard an ear piercing scream from inside the building. Not knowing if this was a common custom in the Fan empire we continued our walk across the bridge and inquired with the guard. On his face was the desire to rush and help, but his call to duty prevented him from doing so.

At the source of the scream, Brilla and I discovered a pregnant woman (Name?) who told us that her many children scattered at the sight of a dinosaur capturing one of her sons, So Ho Ni. We began to roam the Summer Home, maintaining our disguises as flamebearers, searching for signs of the missing child.

We found most of the children in a courtyard, distraught but healthy. They knew the direction that their brother had been taken, and we headed off in pursuit, telling the children to stay put. As we climbed the stairs we heard a growling sound above us and as we crested the stairs we saw a moderately-sized dinosaur standing over an unconscious boy.

Bravely we attacked and with the first blow the dinosaur morphed in size and shape, becoming even more devastating. Each time we struck it, it grew. Mommy, my first animation met it's end during the fight. Amazed by it's ability to change shape reflexively it took me a while to follow the tactics prescribed by Brilla. Apparently she was quite wounded by the creature. I must admit to wondering if the size change was inherent, and would get passed along if animated.

Returning So Hony and the other children to their mother, we were told that the dinosaur was the animal companion of Bi Butsu, a close friend of the Emperor. We revealed to her that we were friends of Bo Beng and were "invited" to stay at the Summer Home, forever. We both played along, going to our separate rooms. Brilla wished to spend a night in a real bed and promised to catch up with me and the others in the morning.

Setting Sail for Garl; Meeting Uncle Bob

Nathaniel-skull.gif Nathaniel: We set sail for Garl the next day. Due to Bo's insistence on not waiting for her, we nearly left Brilla behind. The island of Garl makes me feel as though I was one of the smaller races, like a gnomorph or koboar, visiting a common island, as much of Garl is built for larger races. One of the smallest people on the island I saw was the dockmaster, a brutish Hill Giant.

Having landed on Garl, Bo led our search for Uncle Bob, also known as "Big Cow". There was much discussion with Big Cow, and that I will leave for others to describe. However Big Cow was able to give me more insight into the jeweled scepter we found. He believes that the scepter belongs to a king of an island that the Fan empire had planned, or was planning, to take over.

Ya want some head?

Rake.jpg Rake: I got to play with dock whores. Then things got fun. Some uncle of Bo inside a weird body decided to slide inside my head. I learned from our joint mind share a few tricks. Allowing me to mature, and giving Bo's uncle a few nightmares. What do you expect when a resident of the plane of nightmares resides inside a feral serial killer with an implant of the terror of children. So now we help Uncle with some pirates, blow up a celebration, and replace family ties in a weird society that belongs to Bo who doesn't really want any part of it. Explosions, oh yeah!

Between Sessions

Pirate.gif Brilla Since shirts are under the "physical improvement" header, I'm looking for a bodice of hardiness or something of the like (+2 Con) for as close to the 4000gp mark as possible. I will do some negotiating on the price and will wait for creation if need be. (A torso makes more sense than an throat slot does, to me anyway).

Rake.jpg Rake: Rake will be looking for some ungents and a couple of improvemets that could fall under grafts. Plus some items that will allow him to move and breath underwater since we our bound and determined to go deep sea fishing. Maybe a POTION OF POLYMORPH?

Rewards

XP will be calculated after this one most likely.
