Well, wake the others, and let's return to our homes and report what we have accomplished

Ehsmaralduh draws her weapon and dismounts. Penny, the half breed goblin princess says, Get on Mergatroid’s back, and retreat to a safe distance, if things start to go south on us it will be up to you to continue on and find your way to the Mysterious Dungeon on your own. But don’t worry. There has got to be a way to bring these things down, after all they are probably no more difficult to hurt than their smaller cousins.
yes, I can teach you how to skate,Ehs says to Gobzilla but what about Penny?
Gemdar, she cries, You must learn the secret of these corned of dog treats on a stick, they are the most amazing thing I’ve ever tasted.
But how do we find Ivvinne? Ehsmaralduh says, wiping her face with her hands, and appearing to cheer up at everyone's kind words.
Ehzmaralduh begins to cry
Quick let’s get out of here! Ehzmaralduh shouts, and runs back to the passageway that slopes down to the bowl room.
If you can make it to the exit, Ehsmaralduh calls out. I’ll wait here for you to return.
Ehsmaralduh has made her way slowly down to the opening to the chamber and shouts into the room I think they are running out of energy!
Ehzmaralduh leaps to the side, puts her hands to the wall and spreads her legs wide while shouting What the funnel cake!
I once heard an old gnome say that any plan in which you lose your hat, is a bad plan. I don't think you should take their hats, but then again, it's not like they need them for anything, right?
From the back of the group, Ehsmaralduh says Is the door stuck?
You should wait until the second part of the tower is in place Tabaaac Ehsmaralduh runs to sooth Tabaaac's head in her lap as she points out his mistake.
Party on Penny, after you
Back at the cave, Ehsmaralduh turns to Penny and says with a grin We must thank the great Goblin protectors of things to come, GoBill and GoTedd, for knowing in advance that Gobzilla would need to borrow my saddle, otherwise he would never have been able to pull that off!
Knowledge nature DC 14:
Female Dragwombatasaurs are notoriously picky in respondingNto the mating call of the male. Only when a female feels (and really who understands female Dragwombatasaurs anyway?) ready to mate will she bellow a “Gawump, Gawump, Ehyaurgggh” reply to the call of a male signaling her readiness to procreate. I think Mergatroid is old enough to mate, but she is agitated, and restless. I don’t think she is interested in the males she can hear. Perhaps we can make some kind of horn, with a reed or something that imitates the call of a female and if we make the right noise, the males will come.
Mergatroid has been acting strangely lately. Do you think we can get the attention of some male Dragwombatasaurs, and lead them into the enemy camp, as a distraction?
Ehsmaralduh senses that perhaps she is not special like the others and sulks a bit as she crosses the pond this time without attracting the attention of the hippos, almost as if some greater power in the universe has decreed that this sort of thing is only exciting for a short time and when it is done, it is truly done.
Thank you! Gobzilla, Mergatroid is so happy to be feeling better.
Gobzilla, is there anything you can do for my poor Mergatroid? I've bandaged her tail as best as I can, but she seems too frightened to try another crossing. mergatroid has 2 hp remaining! Tabaaac, that's fascinating, I never realized you were such an expert on the strange animals of the canyon. Gemdar, keep pointing out the safe rocks, I'll be on my way as soon as mergatroid can be ready to try again.
”Now it is time to prove ourselves and show what we are made of,” Ehz dismounts, and reaches into her saddlebag. She takes out a tabard, one of the finest any of you have ever seen. It is a white tabard, and on the front and back is emblazoned the symbol of the Order of the Colored Shells. The escutcheon of the chest and back is oval Sable, with a lozenge Argent centered, three muscles purpure are arranged equilaterally on the lozenge and each is embroidered with a tortoise shell dexter passant The three shells are stylized renderings, embroidered with brightly died threads, of the shells of land tortoises, one is rendered in Green with a gold edge, the other is rendered in Red with a gold edge, while the third is rendered in Blue with a white edge, and the Blue shell is adorned with small white wings. She dons the Tabard ceremoniously, and then stares at each of you in turn with a look of steadfast companionship. Ehz vaults into Mergatroid’s saddle, kicks her heels into the mount’s pudgy sides, and shouts, ”To the other side!”
The mount, a pudgy, medium sized creature with a squat body, small front legs, and large powerfully muscled rear legs, covered in dense fur from the nape of its neck to the beginning of its stubby, thick, scaled tail, rears up on its hind legs, and bellows a challenge to the Hungry, Hungry Hippos and then dashes off (at a trot) to leap upon a rock near the pond. The valiant Cavalier of the Order of the Colored Shells spurs her mount from stone to stone in an attempt to cross the Pond and reach the other side. The heads of the hippos near the rocks she travels over come snapping out of the water in an attempt to drag rider and mount into the water for a quick meal
Mergatroid evades first one than another of the snapping huge mouths, but the mount is not agile enough and on a particularly small rock, rider and mount are attacked!
Ehsmaraldah fumes, holds her fists by her sides, and then stamps up and down a few times. Then she calms down, smiles at Tabaaac and says Well, thank you for apologizing. Also, don't call me princess, Good Chief's Daughter, or Barer of the Ugly Stick Curse, is okay, but I am not a princess. then she whispers to Tabaaac
Tabaaac and Perception Check, Roll 16+: You know I think she is funny looking, but not ugly, not like some humans. Her ears are too small, but she has big eyes and nice hair. I was just saying that so that she wouldn't be offended. After all I think human's don't like being compared to us Goblins, even us ugly ones.
"You take that back!" Ehsmaralduh cries. Penny the Wise is a beautiful Human Girl, and her kind like the way she looks. I don't look like her at all."
"That would be a clever idea, if the one who made the pies was not accompanying us,"Ehsmaraldauh points at Penny as she checks the saddle bags on her mount. mergatroid, turns her fat head toward Tabaaac, and gives him a pleading look as if she agrees with him.
I've saddled Mergatroid, my Dragwombatasaur, and filled my saddlebags. Mother please don't make me wear the scarf. it's so hot. I know my face is hideous, but this is who I am. Maybe the heroes can overlook the fact that I look more like my father, the gnome king.
Hey, hi, how's it going, great, great.I'm here to help you guys out. |
