We Almost Lost Our Meat Shield

by Verna Appleblossom

24 Dravago, 994 YK

We went to a local farm and secured two whole pigs butchered for our kobold friends. That seems to be their favorite meal and we figure it will keep their spirits up. On the way to the pier we get jumped by a bunch of punks trying to steal our meats! We make pretty quick work of the lackeys, but the cops show up just as we are about to stick the leader. The leader tries to make it seem that we are the instigators, but they question us and believe our story. The locals don't say anything, so this guy must be a higher up in the local thief's guild. Meh, I figure they will come see us soon. We rent a boat to head out to the teleport spot and make our signal. The portal opens about 100 yards from us and we row over and enter. The kobolds are happy for the change of fare and we were going to take the fold-a-boat, but the shaman gets all preachy reminding us that it is a holy artifact and not to scratch the paint. Pfft. We can still rent a boat if we need.

So we decided to search for the other dragon using Donaar's super dragon sense. I think he's just making things up as we go. We all feel more powerful and confident this day. It is decided that we will go underground to see if we can sense anything. The most convenient place, of course is the sewers. We send Donaar down to see if he can sense anything. He does a sense hand-wave and says that it seems to be closer to the shore and west of us near the submarine ride. We head closer to shore and the dragonborn heads back into the sewer. He does his sense thingy and comes up with things still fuzzy. I think the whole sense thing is fuzzy at this point. I start to turn around and Donaar gets jumped by an Annis Hag! It takes half his life in one shot before we can do anything. I scarf a magic mushroom but it doesn't seem to give me the super speed I want. Luckily it doesn't give me smoky eyes either. We manage to pull Donaar out of the sewers and Miles Rex tosses a vial of oil into the sewer and blows up a section of the sewer. Unfortunately it isn't enough to kill the hag, so we hang back until it leaves. We heal Donaar up with a bunch of spells and goodberries. We are a bit shaken up and decide to take five in the streets before moving on. I'm glad I'm upwind of Donaar! Boy does he smell.
