Roasted T-Rex

by Mr. Rimashin

We eventually retired from the festival to help welcome a special guest for dinner at Penelope's request. Since I have no real taste or experience for preparing fine cuisine, I volunteered to clean up instead. In any case, Penelope seems to have accomplished her mission to 'woo' our guest and start a new relationship. We decided that tying up loose ends would be first on the agenda so the next day we set out to hunt our missing abberex. I thought master Darren/Fray had a better sense of direction but we ended up getting lost a few times, eventually stumbling upon an enchanted illusory spring. Of course at the time we had no notion of the trap Penelope and Justine were being drawn towards and eventually fell into. The rest of us also felt the allure of the illusion but managed to shake it off long enough to rescue them from the hole. Strangely enough, this trap had ensnared our elusive Rex along with a couple dozen woodland creatures and some lizard folk. After Jeeng determined that the paralyzing poisonous fumes would not affect me as they had every other living creature that had fallen in, I volunteered to jump in and rescue all but the slumbering Rex. But first, by some miracle I was able to dispel the advance enchantment drawing victims into the pit so we had one less problem. Rescue 2.0. also went much more smoothly with the aid of Darren's dark familiar Beholder so all the was left was to incinerate the T-Rex, which Justine handled with a flare. Our next destination, returning the lizard folk to their tribe... Or so we thought...
