Lizard Wizard by the babbling brook

Duen: After resting some, we decide to move to the Caldera to meet the Tic Toc Man. Along the way, we run into a babbling brook and make a peculiar discovery. We find a lizard man. I am wary of him until I discover he is not, in fact a crocodile-man. He needs direction and our quest seems to give him some so we decide to allow him to join us.

Cameron joins the Azer Worker's Union

Duen: We make our way to the Caldera & find fiery dwarves who are maintaining the odd piping that winds in, out & around the volcano. I hail them & they proceed to insult us. When they start making fun of Cameron, I decide enough is enough & attempt to get close enough to "discuss" things with them.

Rynn: When the surly blue-collar unionized midgets started hurling insults, and rocks, down at us, that's when I knew it was time to forge ahead. But my cohorts had other plans. Most were intent on doing some recreational mountain climbing, and Cameron took offense to a pipe. Sigh.

One-eyed bar brawl

Rynn: Apparently the bar we found in the volcano is members-only. The jerk of a bartender drove that point home with a few rounds on the house. Hurled at high velocities towards our various skulls. But we bravely faced the belligerent brew-bowler, and beat his brains. Then he made us all honorary members. I asked for a membership card, but he could not produce one.

Occupy Caldera

Rynn: I discovered that the pants pocket of a gentle giant is a nice place to nap.

Tick Tock Man makes a reasonable request

Rynn: The Tick Tock Man was nothing like I expected. Or feared. In fact, he was quite cordial. He was willing to help us out, if we fetched a few of those larvae-things from the freshly-dispatched ant-queen's laboratory. Not a bad way to go. So we did.
