Back at The Red Dragon Inn

by Dahlia Di Mare

* Our party were able to break off as much of the crystal that we could.
* Mal, unwittingly broke enough that the liquid from inside spilt out, reviving Egog and aging Mal in the process. Struth killed Egog once again. I told them to keep him out of the liquid.
* We shattered the tank with liquid which washed away the healing liquid. I took the Egog foetus with me so he could not regenerate again.
* We teleport-ed back out and headed back to the Red Dragon Inn.
* There we figured out that the crystal's effects would only work for so long before the crystal itself was no longer effective. Struth, Petros and I decided to sell ours. Mal decided to donate his portion.
* Finding Lewie (Head of the Drug Trade), we were able to bargain for the sale of the crystal.
* Back at the Red Dragon Inn, my brother found another set of twins. They were not that nice and a bet was wagered to see who could get their dagger closest to the bull's eye of the target. I immediately met their 10gp bet.
* Tyrian caught the attention of a female dwarf who came over to also bet on my brother.
* Luckily my brother won and the other twins got upset and left.
* The dwarf began to inappropriately handle my brother and I told them both to go back to the room. Tyrian before leaving, told me to keep a seat warm with a handsome but rough looking man in the corner who had a hunting dog.
* The rest of us ate before Mal and Struth walked off.
* As I was alone, I approached the guy in the corner and joined him at the table. We ended up having a nice discussion over drinks. His name - Robert.
* After some time, Barley came down to tell me that Struth or Mal was in trouble, he was not sure which one but my brother had requested for my help.
* I excused myself and asked Robert to mind my ale. He obliged.
* Running up to our room, I could see a broken bed (from my brother's sexual encounter), Struth prone on the floor with a naked dwarf hovering over him.
* I told the dwarf to cover up as I pushed her away from Struth to check on him. He looked like himself and his breathing shallow. I checked his pulse to ensure that it was still a strong heartbeat but could not find a pulse at all. How odd as he was definitely breathing even though it was shallow.
* I decided to slap him awake which seemed to do the trick. He opened his eyes in confusion and asked where he was. I let him know that he had gone off with Mal and was now here... I was unsure as to whether he was watching my brother.
* Pulling him back to his feet, he did remember going back to Mal's room so I pulled him out of the room to go and check on Mal, leaving the lovebirds behind.
* Heading back to Mal's room (my old room), I found Mal sitting on the bed. I asked if he was alright and he said he was. I asked what had happened and why Struth was in the other room. Mal said that he would tell me later and then mentioned someone by the name of Deego Spracket. I asked who he was but Mal again said he would tell me later.
* As Mal decided he didn't want to tell me anything, I decided to go back down to the common room where Robert was waiting with my ale. I dragged Struth back out of the room as I was going to question him on the way back down.
