Balthazar

by Gygax Mimic

He was the joining factor for the four of us. But he had a hidden agenda that he was unwilling to tell us.
So there we were just enjoying a meal around a camp fire, Balthazar was very intent on his meal and did not see what we were doing.
I wandered around looking for something new and interesting to eat. At first I found something shiny and metallic that made my tongue tingle. I gave it to Doots and Ton Ton.
After that I found Balthazar's backpack and started to rummage through it, totally out of curiosity I swear. There was a map in there that look familiar. Doots and Melvin were interested in it as well. I looked almost like the dungeon I came from. We questioned Balthazar about it and he was sketchy about it. Until Doots got into his face and was forceful. Balthazar said there is an entrance but there is an apex monster there.
So off we went, and then Balthazar got zapped, I saved his backpack.
Then this Dragonish Illithid type creature spoke to us and then showed up. He is a smart kind Person named Zebrel. He asked us to go find some weird trolls and kill them and bring back a body. Zebrel has slave trolls that are dying and the morph trolls are a problem. We went deeper into the caves and found some dead trolls and then heard some in tunnels.
We ended up fighting, and eating two of them. Ton Ton ate his ass cheek, I ate his head. Then we left after others showed up we did not want to mess with them. During this Time I heard Primal language for 1 minute and have read it for 1 minute as well.
We got back to Zebrel and gave him the bodies, the mindflayer carrying Doots turned a sickly green tint for a short moment when he was carrying up the hill.
Doots was given a summon stone for contact with Zebrel in the future. I was given a book about mimics information from around the world and it will stay up to date. Zebrel said I could even add info into it if I wanted to.
Then we walked around the city and found:
Thunder Tooth: smithy
Dancing Mark: Inn/Tavern (Vell = female bartender, does not like us)
Honored Carriage Candy: rations/candy TonTon's favorite place (Durrask = Owner)
Listening Knife Saddler: General Substances Magic Item
 
Death Ore = addictive to magic users
 
I have eaten Troll currency, Tasty
 
I have heard about a mimic called City of Gold, apparently a huge mimic.
