Shopping was the first thing on my mind waking up. I was hoping to get some better punching daggers. Walking to the Thunder Tooth smithy to see Chuk Chuk, I notice there are some Merlock-Illithid-Mindflayers about in the underground city. Like the Merlocks we were told about above ground. Getting to the smithy I find out that Chuk Chuk sold his speech and tongue for a smithy upgrade, which was under construction. He was, through an underling, able to inform me that he suggested I go to the meeting with Zebrel and then search for weapon upgrades.
So I and the others went to the castle of Zebrel, "Master" of the underground city. As we approach Zebrel is there smiling as two guards walk in with Sratt, the Morph Troll we were supposed to capture/kill. Zebrel then puts an Illithid worm in his eye and the guards leave with him. We are then individually spoken to by Zebrel and each given a gift. I receive a jar filled with a fairer fluid in it that has eyes floating around, and am told it is a "Shadow Sibling Simbiont".
We all leave, minus Doots, and are met by an underling of Zebrel and asked, read TOLD, to go find and capture a Hecatoncheires. I am informed it is not good to eat and a small creature. I ask for a sack strong enough to hold that creature, which we are given later. At the same time the bag is given to us Doots shows up passed out. As we place him on Ton Ton's back I notice a frog footprint. That is when Doots' head vanishes into a portal on the back of Ton Ton.
The portal leads to the Faywild. That is where Doots is from, and his land is on fire. I go through after him and my whole body starts to tingle from all the magic, and I leave. The frog, now a toad, shows itself, and ask to see Doots and is the Toad belonging to Doots' Mom. The toad is named Trollbane, and Doots' mom is named Valthana.
When Doots comes back through the portal we tell him about the assignment we were given, and I eat the jar that was given to me. We head to the caves to find the beast/creature and find it fighting SPIDERS, 4 of them. I am able to greatly wound one with my new specialized Spider killing bullets, and completely kill another. I am sooo happy my SFBPB work for killing Spiders. Ton Ton and Doots try to talk to the creature and succeed in capturing it in the bag.
We bring it back to the city and meet Zebrel who takes it from us and asks us what we want to be in a large treasure chest. I receive 1000 Platinum Pieces.
Random info: I see a small Morph Troll with an Illithid head at the castle.
I go back to Chuk Chuk and hand over my two punch daggers for a surprise upgrade.
On the way back to the Inn we all see a new business across the street. "House of Psionic Pleasures", it is run by Six. We all enter, and I am fed 71 new dishes.
