Melvin Departs

Gregs Maritom has called for an award ceremony, so we are all to pack up our stuff and march to them. As we are packing Neph and Ultimus bring over a Cat riding a Dog. They are introduced as a new member to our group, "Minion". He is a small Rakshasa, all he has done so far is ask us all many many many questions. Doots has said I am not allowed to eat him.
 
Trollsbane, Doots' frog or toad, has shown up to be our representative in charge of a town that Gregs Maritom has gifted us. We give all our items to Trollsbane to sell on our behalf, 68,000 GP worth of items that we sell for 2,000PP. As Ultimus is leaving to start the march with Neph, he says the Aboleth we say we killed is not really dead and that Aboleths do not forget faces and hold grudges for a LONG TIME. Is that a forewarning?
 
We start our three day treck to Gregs Maritoms' Castle. Nothing happens along the away, at all, what a bore. As we near the Diamond City, I can see that it is a massive trading city. At the gate a small Kobold guard says that we have Diplomatic Safety, but must be on good behavior. As we continue our stroll to the castle, Doots stops us to talk to a Frost Giant, "Uthum King of the Giants", and a Golden Dragon Kin. Uthum gives Doots a warning that Melvin should stay away from him and away from the Dwarf King. Continuing the walk to the Castle we see a Second "Many Thinks" Adventuring Monster Guild, a brand new two story building, it makes me smile inside.
 
At the castle gate we see many World Leaders entering, Dragon Emperor, "Lythera" Pixie Queen, and royalty as well. A Tan Clan Elf leads us to our room for waiting until summoned, muttering to himself about what a pain this task is. Upon entering the rooom I see a small Kobold dressed as wait staff holding plates next to a large buffet table, I take and eat one of the plates he is holding. Tonton does the same, which causes the Kobold to faint. As we are eating, it is discussed that the Elf that lead us here is an assassin hired to kill a World Leader. I hide and move silently into the hallway headed to the Main Room. Doots, disguised as the wait staff Kobold is behind me. Entering the room a golden butter knife flies past me as an Amazonian Elf woman with a manly voice makes Doots return to his true form. Doots now naked is causing a stir among the World Leaders, and I am told to unhide myself, which causes even more gasps and stirring among the attendees. I try to explain our reasoning to the Elf, right before Zebrel magics us back to the waiting room.
 
Now back in the room I decide to just eat from the buffet, as Melvin and Tonton are playing some kind of game, Doots still naked is looking for his clothes, and Minion is fast asleep at the table. Just after Doots finds his clothes and dresses, another Elf opens the door and summons us to follow to the Main Room for awards.
 
The room now has changed from a dining event to an awards show with all the World Leaders in pews with the central walkway up to the throne clear. Upon the throne sits the Amazonian Elf woman with the manly voice, who is in fact Gregs Maritom them self. We are told again what our options are for rewards for the deeds we have preformed for "HER?" Doots replies stating that we have chosen Trollsbane to be the person in charge of the area awarded to us. We then leave the room as all the World Leaders start to shout at each other and causing more noise then when Doots and I walked in.
 
Back in the waiting room we find out that our next job is to go to Seji Lands and help there. Also a person named Uthum, oh yeah that Frost Giant person, will be giving us a ride to those lands. We head outside and find two carriages waiting, the second one is for us with our own wagon tied to it already.
 
As we are heading to a building that will transport us to the lands, we halt as Melvin is needed elsewhere and needs to leave us. We all say our goodbyes and well wishes, I am hurting and crying inside as my Brother is leaving for an unknown mission without me and for an unknown amount of time. With a somber mood about us we continue our move to the building one Original Member less. As we head into the building there is a portal there that transports us to the new land. The land we arrive in is a large field of dead vegitation.
