Where did this hat come from?

by Nak'Cue

As I came to. The rest of the party is fine and I have a strange hat on my head. I guess Munnin decided to decorate me as a statue. That was a pretty clever joke, I think we need to better prepare ourselves. I suggest to the group that we go get more healing potions and more supplies in case I get turned to stone again. The group came back with information about the pirate King, that we don’t have to investigate that anymore. I do have to say that saddens me a little bit I would be intrigued to find a new creatures to change into but that is not fully required for my quest. What kind of protection could a shark do for a forest so I’m not gonna worry too much about missing out on that. Maybe I’ll find some things down here that are very interesting I haven’t been to the under dark before. Really hope that Freyja can find the information she’s looking for I don’t think there’s going to be much more to help her in the under dark I believe the catacombs with all the names on the plates of the coffins is the thing that struck the interest for her. As we ventured further Petaluma mentioned something about being exiled from the underdog but also didn’t seem too eager to be coming back. I wonder if it’s out of fear from whom banished her. When I get a chance I’ll have to ask more about it. We found on the top of this temple a similar statue of a gem with a serpent that attacked Munnin before. As Munnin walked past it she started randomly speaking of words and different languages I’ve never heard before and held her hands to her head like she was in pain? Frustrated with the statue I decided I’m going to destroy it I tried pushing it myself, sadly I am too weak to do so but my friends stepped in and helped me and we push the thing over and destroyed it. The trap or whatever the hell it was doing was disabled and won’t cause harm to anyone else. Very strange small beholder like creature called geezers started showing up repeating what we were saying. I thought there was a trick to it but they just repeat everything you say. As soon as it found out we were hostile towards it took off, well hopefully it can’t talk and only repeat.
 
The next room scouted by Ozymandias had a captured snake person. Munnin started talking to for more information and let it know that when we free it we are not it’s enemy. Even knowing that this creature is evil I can’t allow it to be trapped or starve down here from us killing it’s captures. That would make us as evil as it is. During the battle the only thing that went through my head was all we need to do is knock down one of these dang pillars, so out of frustration I changed into a earth elemental and started slamming it. Still with no prevail by the time we free this prisoner all threats are going to be dead hopefully the snake person will stay true to its word and just leave. After the battle had concluded it stay true to their word it’s a weird situation where you feel like you’ve done something good yet they’re probably going to go harm somebody else. This is why I miss home much simpler there. We all work together to keep the forest fed, healthy, clean, and safe. Don’t get me wrong, it’s close to the same concept as me saving and healing a predator that turns around and kills but the big differences is it had a reason to kill, for food the natural cycle. Being around animals is so much easier… I hope that one day I can bring all my new friends to see my home I am still suspicious of Ozymandias hopefully he does enough right by me… did I just turn into my father? He used to tell me “It only takes one oh shit, to get rid of ten that a boy’s”. I will find out what really happened further and I will protect the rest of the clan!
