I am in a glass jar (prison) at a court for my actions. I still feel some side effects and sick. Tonton is unavailable, Doots and Melvin are on my side but can not add any proof on my behalf. The Lycan I stabbed has a simple request, not to be stabbed again. I am freed, and boy do I feel guilty. Ultimus wants us, damn it, to go with him and cave dive killing necromancers and/or Trolls. Ultimus has a look of wanting to burn the world, as he mumbles about looking for tar and or oil.
As Doots, Melvin and I walk to town, I give them both each one of my Azure Daggers of True Strike. We arrive at Think's place and he is asked to join a drinking competition against Think. Think seems already a but intoxicated, and I ask to take Doots' place. I have to morph into a Pixie shape to get in the chair, but have some trouble with the weirdness of the shape. 10 gallons of ale is put infront of me and Think, who starts immediately, so I follow suit using the provided straw. I win even before I get half way through it all but do not stop until it is all gone, tasty. After that the woman working at the place gives Doots the vials he asks for and I get some more potions as well. We then head back to camp.
After Doots does what he wants to camp, I still follow trying to stay out of trouble, we head back to town. Once there we see that Think's place is completely distroyed and there are bodies all over the place, Think is skewered on the wall. I run in to check on him, he is dead dead. On the wall is written:
"Many Legs, The Deadly Smile"
My response when I hear it read out loud is, "I didn't do it!" The bar woman and the strange customer that were there earlier are not there among the bodies. We all search the place, I find some coinage. Melvin finds a weird staff at the top of the stairs floating all by itself, which Doots throws a cloth over. I run back to camp to get Neph.
"NEPH, THINK IS DEAD. ALL ARE DEAD HELP!!!!!"
Neph comes out of his tent in PJ's, grabs his swords and me and runs back to town. Once back I found out that Deadly Smile is a person or group that hates and kills. We all start to search again and I can smell a sweet sickly smell, I also can detect a vibration from the staff at the top of the stairs, and from the basement. Neph rips open the doors to the basement and a chest comes flying out and smashes open against the wall. I grab half of what spills out while Neph takes the rest.
Oh I almost forgot, Tonton is sleeping back at camp during this whole adventure.
Neph and Melvin decide to go down the stairs into the basement to check it out while Doots and I go outside to check on things there. While I was gone getting Neph, Melvin and Doots saw a bone, ghostly face with glowing eyes come from the alleyway. I am following Doots hiding and ready to strike at anything trying to attack him. As we enter the alleyway we hear footsteps approaching us, it is just Ultimus. Doots finds a mask with orange/red hair on the inside where a mustache would be, while I spot huge footprints on the ground. We then head back in.
Hours later, Melvin rejoins us in the destroyed tavern, just as the sun is rising. We decide to head back to camp. Just outside of the town we run into Ultimus again who is with a group of mercenaries carrying tar, and they same upset. Melvin and Doots start to ask Ultimus some questions about Neph, where Ultimus admits he is a boy and Neph thought he was a girl. We tell him what we were doing and Ultimus runs off after Neph. The Lycan mercenaries start heading back to their camp and I yell "You forgot you Tar." They turn around to grab it, and I notice that the tar turns into a barrel of arrows. We then start running after Ultimus.
In the tunnel below the destroyed tavern we find Ultimus fighting Neph, when Neph yells that the Ultimus he knows is a girl. And the Ultimus in front of us is a laughing maniacal weirdo attacking Neph. Doots starts doing his think, jamming away at tunes to boost our efforts. Melvin lays a trap to protect him and Doots. I run down the tunnel to attack the Crazy Lady.
As I am running toward her to attack, she falls back and just before I can get to attack she disappears and reappears by Melvin. Which angers me as now I have to run all the way back to attack her. Throughout all of the attacks hitting her, she is constantly morphing and changing what she looks like, Troll arms, Elf ears, Purple Tentacles.
All of a sudden a Orange Haired, Kilted, Grey Skinned Goliath comes down and hits her hard in the face. As it does not kill her on the spot he decides to run back up the stairs. Throughout the entire fight so far Doots has gotten louder and louder with his supportive playing and has drawn a crowd above ground that we can now hear chanting and dancing along with his playing.
As I am now close enough AGAIN to attack her I hold on to pull her into the trap Melvin laid earlier. Neph is shooting arrows at her and grapple hooking her staff while Doots and Melvin are backing up. All of a sudden, before I can pull her into the trap, SHE EXPLODES . . . . . .
