Nok-Nok wanders around the Shrine of Lamashtu feeling at one with the place. As he wanders, he feels the hand of Lamashtu, lay on him, burning and yet comfortable.
Pulling out his compass, Nok-Nok waves it around trying to find which direction to go. He gives it a shake, shrugs and heads off towards the alter, where he finds a cultist defaming the good name of Lamashtu.
In a divine wrath, Nok-Nok strikes out at the cultist with his Rochin.
Panting a bit, Nok-Nok, whips his Rochin in a salute to the alter.

The Red Raven sees all. Especially when he ends his moves step and gets to examine the Large Chest (Bow chicka honk honk) that was hidden behind a pile of rotting leathers in the armory.
The crimson crusader tinkers with the lock a bit, then hears a *click* unlike those he is accustomed to from locks. It may be nothing, but given the condition of the other weapons in this room, he is unwilling to risk resources to get more of these poor-quality rewards.
Eye on the prize.
Suiting actions to words, he pulls out his bendy Spyglass once more and peers into the warrens beyond.
At last, the raider he's been searching for. While he would prefer to slay both Warlord and the Goblin Raider in the respective adjacent chambers, time grows short, and he must secure this area to help Nok-Nok's efforts to corner their prey. Just the Raider, then.
As he enters, The Raven sees the Archer on the floor motionless at the goblin's feet. The random monster must have brought her here. He must remember to give her a proper .
For now, he can take out his wrath on this goblin.
The Raven has the upper hand, but rather than strike hard, he knocks the monster's weapon across the room, then hamstrings it. He walks away before it is even dead, but his keen hearing tracks it as it crawls across the room in a race to recover its weapon before its femoral arteries leak away what is left of its life.
Meanwhile The Red Raven has been moving furniture, leveraging boulders, and trapping passageways in the surrounding Warrens. He has used all his resources when he reached the last egress, sturdy metal double doors with no lock. Taking his Capitan's Cutlass, he slides it through the handles of the double doors .
Warrens is closed.

Grazzle takes a moment to cast Cure on Grazzle, restoring strength and vitality to Grazzle's bones.
Grazzle feels the presence of Lamashtu Praise her in her shrine, pressing against Grazzle's mind with steady pressure. Grazzle hears the song of the goddess No..., drawing Grazzle deeper... Grazzle stops, a realization dawning upon Grazzle. Siren! Grazzle Sees the creature, singing her mesmerizing song, in an antechamber near the altar. Grazzle feels Grazzle's mind falling under the creature's sway, when a Goblin voice breaks out into song. Nok-Nok's song of glory gives Grazzle the chance he needs to break the creatures control. The Lizard Gods are not so easily tempted. Grazzle's mind is clear, and Grazzle sends the creature running with a burst of divine power.
Channeling divinity to move forward, Grazzle feels a cold chill run through Grazzle. Turning quickly, Grazzle sees a Spectre rise where the siren once stood. We are being tested! Conjuring a Pyrotechnic Blast, Grazzle throws fire at the undead. Grazzle's fire dispatches the incorporeal menace with ease; Lamashtu may be testing Grazzle, but Grazzle is up to the challenge.
Grazzle stows Grazzle's silk coat and walking stick in Grazzle's packs, and takes a moment to pray. Glory to the Lizard Gods. Glory to Lamashtu.

Nok-Nok continues to walk towards the alter and again feels the golden light of Lamashtu's favor wash across him. This time it beats across him and he tries to stand strong and proud under her favor.
Unfortunately, something seems amiss and he trips a bit on the cultist he just disposed of.
With a bit of a mental shrug, he asks Lamashtu to guide him and continues to stride forward.
And suddenly out of the corner of his eye he spots a sneak just pulling away from him as if making off with a new acquisition.
Nok-Nok goes to pull out his Rochin and realizes filthy Sneak has taken it. Nok-Nok wades in with just his fists, praying he has found Lamashtu's favor and his fists will strike true. At the last moment he hears Grazzle call out to go for the throat!
Trusting in Grazzle's sight, Nok-Nok adjusts and aims right at the throat of the Sneak, sliding just past his guard and crushing his windpipe, dropping him.
Nok-Nok takes a moment to search for his missing Rochin on the corpse and rearm himself for the continuing trail for Lamashtu's favor.

Having accomplished their individual tasks, The Red Raven regroups with his party at the Shrine of Lamashtu. He is not certain he is comfortable with how "into" this shrine his compatriots seem to be, but there are more pressing matters at hand.
No sooner does he thing so, then a portion of the ceiling collapses above him!
The Raven flashes back to five seconds earlier; but no, this is the present, and he has seen five seconds into the future.
Thank you, Grazzle.
Using the foreknowledge granted by Grazzle's ability to Find Traps, The Red Raven is able to not only avoid the debris, but parkour PARKOUR! his way to a nearby stone column and knock it into the path of the falling debris, causing it to divert from landing in front of the entryway and causing trouble for anyone trying to pass.
The Raven is about to proceed, when a too-familiar voice in his head holds him back. "Ah-ah-ah. Take care, little bird..." the melodic voice of the Psychic Detective warns. "Ahead lies a Blessing from the Gods, but in this house, those can take their toll..."
The Raven bites back a quippy retort when he remembers he is in the Shrine of Lamashtu. Not exactly the Blessing he'd wish for. Playing out the scenario in his mind, he drops his cowl and stows his crimson cloak. He moves forward, accepting Lamashtu's blessing, and the pain that comes with it, in hopes of paying it forward to his allies as part of the end game.

Grazzle, flanked by Grazzle's allies the power of three, charges into the final chamber of the Shrine of Lamashtu to be confronted with the visceral horror that is the Spawn of Lamashtu. Grazzle's allies pray to bolster their wills; Nok-Nok puts the Blessing of Sheylin on Grazzle. The spawn's visage does not rattle Grazzle; hopefully his allies can do the same.
Behind Grazzle, Nok-Nok draws his blade and charges forth...
Nok-Nok hears the call of glory and with a fierce battle cry he recognizes this horror as the final challenge Lamashtu has set for him. He wades in with his Galvanic Chakrim, whipping it across the room, bouncing off a couple of walls to dig deep into the abomination and lodge firmly in its chest.
The horror cries out in pain but doesn't quite drop yet.
As Nok-Nok leaps at the Spawn of Lamashtu, slashing at the creature, Grazzle summons a burst of fire in a Pyrotechnic Blast. Bolstered by a blessing from Damiel, Grazzle's ally, Grazzle throws the blazing hot flame directly at the creature.
The spawn is consumed by Grazzle's flame, the blood spilling from Nok-Nok cuts boiling away in a divine blaze. The Spawn of Lamashtu is dead, and Grazzle and Grazzle's allies and the Lizard Gods are triumphant once more.
Aric strolls happily into the Catacombs of Wrath until he disappointedly notices there ar on friends to be made here. Then, looking around and seeing there are no potential Allies ANYWHERE, he decides to stay and sitck it out.

Reluctantly Nok-Nok offers to scout ahead. Large dragon here? No, just lots of rocks. How about this stinky tunnel, Nope, no dragon, but big there is big Ogre!
Quickly Nok-Nok pulls out his dogslicer, dodges under the Ogre's swing, and targets the hamstrings. If he doesn't bring ogre down quick, Nok-Nok be pudding, he prays for divine guidance as he slams his dogslicer into the ogre's leg.
Nok-Nok's Dogslicer wedges deep into Ogre's hamstring, but is stuck. Nok-Nok dances to the side quickly to try and pull it free and manages to just jerk it loose as the Ogre tips off balance and crashes towards the ground. At the very last moment Nok-Nok wedges the blade in the stones as the Ogre crashes down impaling itself.
Unable to roll the Ogre off his dogslicer, Nok-Nok resigns himself to forging ahead weaponless. But longshank stabby sword guy has trained him well to fight unarmed, so he forges ahead confident in his ability.
Nok-Nok continues down the hall when a blade slashes down from the ceiling, stopping as it hits his body.
With a clang the blade snaps off and falls to the floor as the arm breaks at a rusted point. More bruised than cut, Nok-Nok checks himself over.
Nok-Nok is invincible! Shaken, but invincible. He slowly collects himself before continuing to explore the location further.

Seeing no advantage to nobility in this place, Aric cowers in the dark, and the Crimson Crusader steps in...
just before he is leapt upon by a ravenous Werewolf!
Luck is with The Raven as the moon passes behind a cloud just before the lycanthrope strikes, dampening its power. The Red Raven blocks its strike with the full of his blade. The edge biting into the creature as it presses forward, but its claws start to sink into the Raven's chest on either side of the blade...
...or they would, if the piercing claws weren't denied their prize by the Crimson Crusader's Red Leathers . The armor is rented harshly by the attack, but it keeps the Raven from harm, and the werewolf has pushed his attack too fiercely, sustaining damage against The Raven's Captain's Cutlass. It turns and flees into the night.
"No rest for the weary, Red Robin. Sword up, now!"
The warning from The Raven's Psychic Detective comes just in time, as it seems the sounds of fighting has attracted the attention of a Hill Giant.
With the advance warning, The Red Raven dive rolls through the giant's legs, hamstringing has he goes. The giant collapses to his knees and grasping at his thighs.
Still a threat, but only if you get to close. Hmh.
Having exhausted himself in two successive fights, The Raven pauses to recover and draw additional weapons to bear.

Grazzle walks past Grazzle's allies, touching each of them with some healing energy the Lizard Gods provide.
As Grazzle moves deeper into the Catacombs of Wrath, Grazzle Sees into the future. Grazzle opens a hidden compartment in a wall to find a Spyglass, and instrument to help others see that cannot See.
Grazzle oracle of the Lizard Gods channels Grazzle's power through the Spyglass, Down one path, a Spectre, in terrible pain, awaits a release from this world; down the other, a jeweled Dagger +1 is hidden in a sarcophagus.
Grazzle nods, and heads down the path towards the tortured spirit. Grazzle tracks the spirit lost, trapped, alone, PAIN through the catacombs until Grazzle locates it. The Spectre wails as Grazzle channels divinity, seeking to Life Drain the spirit's connection to the world.

Nok-Nok hears lizard longshank friend mention dagger loot and gleefully hurries over to the sarcophagus. With a quick push he opens the lid, coughing a bit as the dust rises from within.
With a huge smile Nok-Nok withdraws the dagger from within and gives it a flourish. Balance and heft are good for slicing he peers around looking for danger, he pulls out his trusty compass and gives it a solid shake before heading to the left.
Nok-Nok suddenly perks up as he hears the sound of tasty bacon on the hoof, unfortunately he has brought a knife to what most people would use a spear for.
It takes some fancy footwork to take the boar out with the new dagger, but Nok-Nok is up to the challenge.
He sets to work carving up the bacon for supper later.

Turn begins under Blessing of the Gods
The Red Raven is still, eyes closed, head cocked to one side. Listening. Only one obstacle remains to summon the keeper of this den, and if he is lucky, it will come to him.
And I feel lucky. Punk.
His keen senses tell The Raven exactly who he is facing, and where. Stowing his Compass, he reaches his hand back for the hilt of his Rapier , and stands still. Ready.
Patience.
At last, the Goblin Pyro loses his and springs from his ill-concealed hidey hole.
The Raven never draws his blade, but holds it firm as he turns his back full on to the goblin, and its springing leap lands it squarely on the point of his rapier, still in its frog. The Raven leans back, and the goblin slides off his blade to the ground. Without concern, he casually slaps out the bit of his cowl that caught fire from the monster's flaming brand as
This battle done, The Raven's senses tell him there are no more minions guarding this den, and its master will be forced to face him. Sure enough, the growls of a Wrathful Sinspawn precede its entry from a side cavern.
Its piercing wail strains the Crusader's senses, , but he pushes through and lunges at the creature.
His steely instrument of justice pierces what passes for a heart, and the monster's wailing ceases. This den of evil has been cleansed. The Raven pulls off the damaged cowl to replace it with another, only to find the damage was not so bad, and in fact, the moderate burn marks are even more intimidating. Stashing it back in his pack , The Red Raven is content with his work for this hour.

Grazzle is congratulating Grazzle's allies on securing the Catacombs of Wrath, when the cry of a dragon Beware! breaks the mood. Black Fang roars as it strafes the location, acidic breath raining down on Grazzle, Nok-Nok, and The Red Raven.
Grazzle then moves quickly to the nearby Shrine of Lamashtu She is fickle, hoping to find shelter from further dragon attacks. Inside the shrine, Grazzle discovers that several other priests from other gods have taken shelter. The young human just inside attempts to give Grazzle the Blessing of Shelyn, but Lamashtu makes her displeasure known Anger! Rage!, striking Grazzle In spite of Lamashtu's displeasure, Grazzle accepts the blessing.
Before moving on, Grazzle casts a Cure upon himself, Glory to the Lizard Gods!
Grazzle uses Grazzle's new Blessing of Shelyn to push forward into the temple, where Grazzle is again struck with Lamashtu's rage as he's offered a Blessing of the Gods from another cowering pinkskin priest. Grazzle endures the pain, , but taking the blessing from the human.
Clearly, Lamashtu is angry that her temple is being used as a sanctuary. Grazzle takes a moment to pray to the Lizard Gods, and to Lamashtu, to pay Grazzle's respects.

Seeing lizard longshank friend Grazzle head to Shrine to Bestest God, Nok-Nok happily follows behind.
Unfortunately he doesn't feel the searing hand of Lamashtu great his presence, just stupid skulky sneak who picks his pocket before he sees him.
Feeling as if Lamashtu has deserted him, Nok-Nok strikes out at the sneak he sees quickly walking away, as he feels certain that sneak has taken something that should have been Nok-Noks.
Nok-Nok takes the thief down, but still feels out of sorts despite being in holiest of places.

The Red Raven springs to the Shrine of Lamashtu and spies a mundane scroll ahead.
While not interested in it himself, The Raven recognizes is value to others abs snatches it up.
Hoping the /Blessing of Bastet will be with him, The Red Raven moves into the next chamber to find... a Skeleton Horde!
It is tricky to poke a skeleton with a Rapier, but The Red Raven did not become a vigilante of justice because he was afraid of tricky. Taking careful aim, he pokes his blade through its ribs and pierces the spinal column, and the animated creature returns to a pile of bones.
The Blessing of the Spy is to be prepared for what comes next, no matter what. He training proves advantageous yet again, as he uses his acrobatic expertise to pick his way through a part of the corridor where the ceiling has collapsed.
The Red Raven not only successfully finds his way through the rubble without causing a landslide or other collapse, but he also takes time to mark his steps as he goes with a dab of yellow warpaint so his allies can easily follow his tracks safely through.
Once across, The Red Raven pauses to wait for his companions to come across successfully.

Before Grazzle's turn, an Ancient Skeleton animates in the temple, forcing Grazzle to fight! Grazzle summons power Fire from the Lizard Gods and unleashes a Pyrotechnic Blast. The Lizard Gods' fire, channeled through Grazzle, severs the perverse magic keeping the undead together, and the bones rattle to the ground.
At the start of Grazzle's turn agent of the Lizard Gods, Grazzle sends healing energy to his allies, Following the trail in yellow left by The Red Raven, Grazzle moves over rubble of the temple and to a branching path. Grazzle uses his Sight, amplified by the Spyglas, to See the future. Down one path, Grazzle sees a Zombie, no doubt animated with the same energy that brought the horde of skeletons to life. In another room, a cowering human priest preaches the Blessing of Irori. Grazzle knows She will be furious at both either path will lead to trouble, but chooses to roust the priest in the hopes Lamashtu will be placated. .
Lamashtu makes her unhappiness known to Grazzle again, as Grazzle interrupts the priest's session. Grazzle Sees The pinkskins are cowering the fear among the people here, so Grazzle speaks less harshly, though still firmly. The humans scatter, and the priest hands over a small trinket representing the Blessing of Irori. Grazzle pockets it, then takes a moment to rest.

Nok-Nok feels necrotic energies flow through the temple and recalls a teaching of Xoff. He quickly looks around and sees the oncoming skeleton horde. With a little misdirection he manages to lead the Skeleton out of the Shrine and the magic animating it dissipates over distance and the skeleton collapses into a pile of bones.
Out of turn, Nok-Nok feels the restorative energy from Grazzle and feels more invigorated.
-------
Nok-Nok feels the blessing of the gods shining on his endeavors.
With a look around, Nok-Nok realizes he had to lead the Skeleton a ways away from the Shrine, and finds with a start that he has moved into the nearby Woods, and has lost his way.
As he wanders by a tree out of the corner of his eye he is shocked to see a Shadow slowly move towards him.
With a cry, Nok-Nok thrusts his Dagger out to try and ward the unnatural shadow back.
Nok-Nok frowns in puzzlement as the dagger sinks deep into the shadow, which shrieks in pain before popping out of existence. Unfortunately the dagger is worse for wear, the blade appears to have lost it's edge. Nok-Nok picks it up and takes a moment to stash it in his pack.

Under the Blessing of Calistria...
Following Nok-Nok to the Woods, The Red Raven enters a clearing and sees coming YET ANOTHER horde of Skeletons. He pauses to swap his new spell into the Kit in exchange for his Espionage Quick-Ref guide of , then charges in!
Second verse, etc...bag o' bones!
Casually stepping across the boneyard, The Red Raven follows his skulking instincts
Evading a few swipes from some webbed but sharply taloned claws, The Raven pokes a few holes in the water goblin and it leaks to death.
Calling on his Psychic Detective to point the way [ooc]examine, then may explore, The Raven shuts out her excess commentary and gleans that only a vial of pure water is in the immediate vicinity. Swapping out to Aric for a rest, the nobleman finds and examines the vial, things it may be Holy, but can't fathom why it would be out here in the Woods and tosses it aside.
At rest as his alter ego, Aric takes a moment to go over his supplies and ready things into better position.

Nok-Nok looks up from his pack just in time to see the pile of bones, reassemble itself back into a Skeleton. Clearly Xoff isn't nearly as smart as he thinks he is. Nok-Nok quickly steps forward and slashes at the Ancient skeleton with his Galvanic Chakrim.
It again collapses into a pile of bones, hopefully for the last time.
Grazzle hears Grazzle's allies flee the Shrine to Lamashtu, an impulse Grazzle understands and resists show Her the strength of the Lizard Gods. Grazzle rises to Grazzle's feet, only to find the Ancient Skeleton has risen again! Without combat magic at the ready, Grazzle wields Grazzle's Walking Stick and hits the undead over the head, praying for strength blessed be! as Grazzle does. The skeleton crumbles once more, hopefully for the last time.
Wounded and weary, Grazzle takes a moment to heal Grazzle's wounds with a Cure spell. .
As Grazzle heads back out into the shrine, Grazzle hears pinkskin screams and then a dragon's cry. No! Grazzle rushes forth, directing as many as he can to shelter as Black Fang's acid breath fills the temple's entry. Grazzle calls forth divine protection, Lamashtu is pleased with Grazzle, for the dragon's breath does not touch Grazzle.
Grazzle takes a moment to catch Grazzle's breath, knowing the Shrine is secure.

Nok-Nok glances admiringly at the chakrim, glad that he managed to find it in his pack and peers around the Woods for further danger.
Just flicking through the trees, Nok-Nok spots what appears to be a ghost. Woods must be haunted, first shadows attack and now ghosts. Fortunately lucky chakrim will solve the problem.
The chakrim whips through the space where the ghost is, lighting crackling along it's edge and dissipates the ghost.
Nok-Nok thinks back to friend quartermaster longshank and wonders if ghosts might leave residue that could be sold. He heads over towards where the ghost was to see if he can find any ghosty goo to sell to his friend.
Unfortunately, no goo, but there is a sword laying on the ground that might come in handy!
Nok-Nok picks up the sword and continues to explore the woods, trusting in his own divinity to lead him free.
Closing his eyes and spinning in a circle quickly, Nok-Nok stops and then starts walking forward, surely this must be the way out. He takes a couple steps and then trips over a Battered Chest that is hidden in the underbrush of the woods.
Excited for the loot it might contain he quickly pulls out his burglar's buckler and tries to disable the lock.
The lock is very rusted, but with a little patience Nok-Nok is able to work the latch and pop the chest open to find:

Just realized that post had some issues...
1st fight was a Ghost not a shadow.
Discarded the Quartermaster to explore after that initial encounter...
I think the rest looks right.
Under the Blessing of Calistria...
Sufficiently resupplied, Aric steps into the bole of a large tree trunk, and The Red Raven decends from its highest branches, just in time to ambush a Goblin Dog!
With the neither-goblin-nor-dog monster slain, The Raven senses this location is nearly secure, and uses his to push forward.
He is lucky to have been so prepared and have the extra assistance for...
acquiring these Caltrops.
[i]*sigh*[/b]
Defiantly, The Raven draws a small rubber ball and bounces it multiple times on the forest floor, deftly scooping up handfuls of caltrops as he does so.
Having cleared out the forest, The Red Raven begins scratching his Raven park into strategically located trees around the perimeter to note that this is now his territory and is not to be disturbed. He feels confident both the woodland creatures and roaming monsters will respect this boundary.

Grazzle prays to the Lizard Gods they provide and thanks Lamashtu for her aid; divine grace fills him, providing a Cure to Grazzle's aches. Renewed and refreshed, Grazzle heads to the Desecrated Vault.
It seems an unfortunate thief had recently tried to break into the vaults, as his Masterwork Tools are laid open next to his scorched corpse. Grazzle Sees that there was a trap, but it is now safe thanks to the pinkskin.
Grazzle looks through the Spyclass to See; a Zombie Giant awaits final death down one chamber while another conceals a Trapped Locker wise to wait. Leaving the two chambers undisturbed, Grazzle kneels to pray and await his allies.

Nok-Nok praises himself as he sees the end of the Woods and comes to a Desecrated Vault. Nok-Nok shakes his head as he realizes that friend Grazzle has left his mark indicating he is within. Can't he tell this is bad place.
Nok-Nok checks his gear and heads inside only to run into the foot of a Giant, a Zombie Giant...clearly he was right this was a bad place.
Nok-Nok slashes at the back of the tendons, and then kicks out at the leg of the zombie. Dropping it to the ground and allowing him to hack at it.
Nok-Nok struggles mightily with the Zombie Giant, and it almost looks like it is going to take it and shrug him off, when it suddenly collapses and goes still.
Nok-Nok takes a deep breath and centers himself as fencing master instructed before setting off in search of lizard friend.
Nok-Nok is ready to fight, but instead finds a Trapped Locker. Pulling out his Burglar's Buckler he sets to work.

Under the Blessing of Torag...
Following Nok-Nok's wild signs to the Desecrated Vault, The Red Raven, climbs over the fallen form of a dead (again?) giant, and spies a corner of parchment trapped beneath its heel...
Unable to decipher the script at this range, and unwilling to move the corpse around for a closer look, The Raven stomps apart the remains of a rotted chest as an offering to Abadar, and continues onward.
Hanging from an outcropping in the next corridor is token of Pharasma hanging from a leather thong. This could be of some use...
Seizing the token, The Raven holds it aloft and it glows blue-white for moment, hanging a bit more in one direction than in should, and shining brighter that way. The Raven turns to see a Rat Swarm moving his way!
It takes swift hands to take on a swarm with a piercing weapon, but The Red Raven's hands move swiftly and strategically, stabbing several in succession, then pausing for the opportune moment to skewer several at once. After a flurry of lunges, the rats see the folly of attacking this foe and retreat back into the walls.
Without a clear path forward, The Red Raven pauses to collect himself.

Grazzle scrambles for cover as Blank Fang attacks the Desecrated Vault.
Nok-Nok looks up just as a Black Fang soars overhead releasing another blast of acid breath.
Nok-Nok feels the burn of the acid more as a light exfoliation.
The Red Raven knows he cannot evade the dragon's breath on his own, so he stands his ground, counting on his trusty Gambeson to absorb the blow.
.
Grazzle Sees Black Fang land in the Thassilonian Dungeon he cannot hide, and makes his way there. Just inside the entrance, Grazzle Sees a Mystic Inscription carved into the wall mortal magic, not divine. Alas, Grazzle does not want to spend energy deciphering the sigil, so Grazzle breaks the magic circle and it dissipates.
Grazzle senses an undead presence tracking him. Opening his Sight, Grazzle sees the Attic Whisperer moments before it attacks. Grazzle feels the creature's psychic attack brush against Grazzle's mind, but the Lizard Gods protect Grazzle; instead, Grazzle summons the power to Life Drain and directs it towards the creature.
Eager to track down the dragon, Grazzle pushes forward In the ruins of what once was a library, Grazzle discovers an intact scroll of Find Traps. Not so useful here Grazzle knows this magic, but knows there may still be value in it. Grazzle takes the scroll, and stows it in a pocket in Grazzle's robes.
Grazzle takes time to rearrange his scrolls and reagents, so Grazzle can best fight a dragon (or support Grazzle's allies if they do).

Nok-Nok follows Grazzle to the Thassilonian Dungeon as he saw evil dragon land over here.
Nok-Nok first finds a scroll.. He squints at it and tries to determine if it would be at all useful to someone else. With a quick ponder he takes out his emerald and looks through that to protect his mind from evil writing.
Scroll definitely has evil writing on it, but might be good for selling to unsuspecting longshank quartermaster.
With the quartermaster in mind, Nok-Nok, continues to forge ahead to find more loot to sell off.
As he rounds a corner, he finds a perfectly fine shield left abandoned and lonely. Nok-Nok can find good home for it.
Nok-Nok scoops up the shield and settles evil scroll and shield for later sale.

Joining his compatriots in the Thassalonian Dungeon, The Red Raven draws his rapier and charges forth.
And encountering ebony wyrmling itself! Letting out a vociferous yawp of his own as the dragon rears back to breath on them, he times his attack, and lunges directly into the creature's maw, once again counting on his armor to protect him.
The Raven angles his body to take the acid on this newly refurbished Red Leathers as he thrusts his blade up through the roof of the dragon's maw and into its brain. Again, they fall away from his torso, taking the damage instead of the Crimson Crusader, and thanks to the blessing(s) of his allies, dragon falls as well, leaving The Raven to tumble out of the way of the creature's falling carcass.
Nok-Nok's skin looks radiant as the acid does a final round of exfoliation.
