And His Name is Aarav

The guard from the other day comes running into Long Nose's front tent area, while we are having breakfast, with a list of missions from Seji. The guard also informs Doots, as that is who he is talking to, that he was promoted after all the work he did with us at the gate. Doots decides, with us, to choose a supply chain destruction mission, and the guard asks to join us. At first Doots declines this, but after hearing the guards job for Seji, he changes his mind. Tonton walks out of the front tent for some reason and we do not see him until later, I decide to hide, but keep eating.
 
After the hulabaloo between Doots and the guard, I unhide and ask "Go Shopping?"
 
I see the guard still standing there with his mouth open, I decide to offer him the great-axe from my inventory. He declines, what a snob, it only has a little saliva on it.
 
Doots and I go shopping, and find the open market after walking for a bit past mostly weapon and armor smithies. We see a stall with a Troll behind it, as we approach the Troll runs off and gets a much much much older Troll, he is Prophet. Of course as usual everyone talks to Doots first, not realizing I can talk. Doots tells him I am the one wanting to buy, so I ask for an empty vial with a cork, which Prophet has. I then ask to buy some moderate cure potions, they are getting very expensive. Doots suggest we buy more potions in-case, so we buy all the potions Prophet has to sell, and we sell the great-axe that the ungrateful guard did not want to have. Doots is kind enough to wipe off my saliva for Prophet.
 
As we walk a way for Doots to find a dark secluded alleyway, I begin to talk to my Symbiot, I need to think of a name for it, and I ask it to start practicing on opening and closing the empty vial with the cork in it. It has a little trouble with it, and says it is starving and needs to eat some "soul" food. I then see a stall where a Troll there says he sells live animals. I inform Doots that I need to go there, and I buy 4 live chickens in wooden cages. After paying for them I stuff them all into my mouth. I start crunching on the wood as my Symbiot starts to consume the chickens. We then find and alleyway for Doots where I take a guarding position for him, as he starts to investigate a robe.
 
As Tonton returns to us, I notice a leaf covered Puppet and a Bison looking in our direction, and I tell Doots this. As I can sense no hostility towards us I do not make a move so Doots can speak with them. The Bison Speaks and says he is called "Captain Bison for Just Ice", and says the Puppet is actually a Dryad named "Cinabari". They have come to us to aid us in our next mission for Seji, which is also going to be our first mission for Seji. As they are all talking to each other, I have a private conversation with my Symbiot. As we get ready to leave, that is when I notice that Tonton is now floating.
 
We travel for 3 weeks.
 
During this time my Symbiot has learned to open a bottle with a cork in it, but can not close it yet. We also see many Trolls traveling in the other direction as well as the same direction as us, but we have no contact with any of them as they all seem intent on there moving. As we near the battle field ahead we can hear a MASSIVE battle going on. As we get closer we can only see a few of both sides but the rest are obscured but a huge thick dust and smoke cloud. We continue on without stopping to help, finding the other side of the woods, we continue to our destination.
 
Coming to the other side of the forest we can see a large mountain where they enemy is coming from and a road that most likely is our goal for attacking the supply chain. Doots, Captain Bison, Cinnabari, Tonton discuss what plans to make. As I am distracted by a strange feeling inside me under my tongue. It is an uncounted for Gold Coin, and that is when I realize. . . .
 
I HAVE A SON !
 
I name him Aarav, and can sense that he will be a ranger and will also be stronger than I am currently. I look forward to getting to know him over the next few months as he grows.
 
As the others seem to have come up with a plan, they chop a tree down to block the road, and I am to be on the right side and attack when the supply caravan comes. After a while we are all able to see a caravan approaching and on either side are 4 Thrycrene each in dark robes and holding bone staffs. As they near and come to a halt, to from the left side near the downed tree, and we all start the fight getting the first few hits in.
 
First thing to happen is the grass from all around the caravan starts to grow and entangle the Thrycrene, and shortly after that I cast a Wall of Fire on the 4 Thrycrene on the right side. Tonton attacks the 2 that neared the downed tree and bites them, of course. Doots of course starts strumming away, and boosting our will and ability to fight, but the lyrics are so very very wrong. I am able to concentrate long enoug on the Wall of Fire that I kill the 4 Thrycrene on my side, and then start lobbing some of my SFBPB's at the Thrycrene attacking Tonton. I also am able to cast Summon Monster Levle 2, a Celestial Eagle. The Eagle does attack the same Thrycrene, but the Thrycrene gets so mad at the Celestial Eagle that it completely obliterates it.
 
At some point during the battle a Strange Creature had appeared on top of the last wagon in the caravan. As we neared the end of battle the Starnge Creature disappeared taking the last Thrycrene Necromancer with itself. This ended the battle for us, as all the remaining creatures were undead and no longer supplied with magic to stay "Unaliveded"?.
 
I HAVE A SON. I AM SO HAPPY.
 
I am looking forward to getting to known him over the few months he will be with me. Aarav will be a ranger, and he has gained some of my abilities, and he seems to be stronger than I am currently. I am so Proud.
