Night has fallen, Doots and I take watch, Tonton just sleeps. I lightly snooze during Doots taking first watch. All of a sudden Doots psionically links with me waking me up as there are Dire Lions around us. I can sense through vibration that there are six, one of which is trying to take the Papa Digestor we killed. i mind link with it and yell that it is our prey not theirs to take. It ignores me so I cast Wall of Fire from a wand to stop it. Doots cast a bright light on the nose of another Dire Lion near them to blind it, as Tonton is now awake and attacks the one Doots blinded.
The one Tonton and Doots are fighting was trying to take the Mama Digestor from our pile of kills from yesterday. All of a sudden another Wall of Fire appears infront of me to stop me from attacking the one I was going after, the Papa thief. Tonton is able to kill the one he is attacking with biting it to death. Before I can fully wound the Dire Lion I am after it drops the Papa Digestor and runs past me, were I am able to wound it more but not enough before it runs away.
At the end of all this, Tonton goes back to sleep like nothing happened, Doots cuts off all three heads of Mama, Papa, and Baby Digestors as proof we did the work. For the rest of the evening nothing happens.
The next morning Tonton and I carry the bodies of the three Digestors and the Dire Lion back to town. As we approach the northern gate to town, we are stopped by an Orc guard. The guard is speaking in Draconic and I am able to speak back to it. I suggest it speak in common to Doots, when it speaks in broken common to him. Tonton suggest through Psionic link that the guard speak to him in Draconic, and then Tonton can speak to Doots through a Psionic link to him about what the guard said and then Doots can speak to the guard in common . . . . . . OWWW MY HEAD HURTS ! ! !
The guard and Doots speak in Giant for 30 minutes, which I do not understand. But I do hear our group name Cryptic Kabal said many times. We get paid for the Dire Lion body and the three Digestors as well. 10,000 Collorium Gold Pieces (yellowish color), and a blue with design Tier III Bag of Holding. As the conversation is ending and the guard being all excited about something, Doots and he shake hands, when Doots start to shrink to a tiny size. HEHEHEHE, his voice is high pitched. I catch him before he falls to the ground and place him on my head, as the guard says in Draconic that it is an unfortunate side effect from his family but should only last an hour.
We head to the "Pillow and Drink" Shanty place where Long Nose is hosting, scaredly, for Uthem and his guards. I order 3 drinks for us as Minion goes straight to bed. Uthem tries to cast Dispel on Doots and only succeeds in making Doots and Uthems hand attracted to each other like magnets. Long Nose brings out the Bubbling Dark Special Drinks, I am the only one this time that is able to down it with no issue.
Doots and Uthem have a conversation about slaves and sales. An agreement is made about selling Minion to Uthem, I am not allowed to eat the dog. We get 2,005 GP and a magical Ration Box in trade. Uthem's guards carry the bound, tied, and gagged Minion off. I collect the remaining items from minion and the dog, which I do not eat. Doots and Uthem continue their conversation about Seji and his war against some Thrycrene, I think, and how the poop from Thrycrene is poisonous. Uthem leaves.
Long Nose is now in a better mood and offers us a show and drinks, but we need to follow him. We all follow him out the front and around to the back of his place to a dark door. As we enter there are Trolls all sitting and drinking facing a stage. A show starts and a board on strings comes out with a thin veil wrapped around it, doing a burlesque show ? ? ? At the end of it Long Nose appears near us and asks if we liked the show of his wife the cloth doing a board show ? ? ?
I buy a Long Nose Troll sized Health Potion, and am warned to only take sips from the wine bottle sized purplish/red fluid with insect parts floating in it, for 200GP. At which point we three decide to go shopping near the Southern gate.
