B&T Chapter 1: What Are You Doing in My Swamp?!
General Summary
Searching for a cure to Gothicca's mysterious illness, the Wood Elf couple Noyla & Sharpjaw, accompanied by their close friend Draconius Moanius, sailed from Dalterra to Vulsemar. They get lost in the woods and ran into Balcazar, a lizardfolk, who was hunting for a special plant for his next spell. After a hilarious encounter where Sharpjaw befriends a squirrel with Speak With Animals and gets his nuts grabbed by Balcazar's Mage Hand (not in that order), Balcazar agrees to help the others hunt an ogre, in exchange for 1 gp, guarantee of safety from Sharpjaw, and whatever potions they acquire from the ogre. Balcazar leads them to the ogre he knows of, who lives in a cave in the side of a mountain. He has a couple potions that Balcazar wants, ogre pheremones that are rare to lizardfolk.
When they get to the cave, Draconius casts Armor of the Shadows (invocation) & Pact of the Blade as a flail, also pulls out his arcane focus (rubber duck smoking a joint). Noyla pulls out a Scimitar & Wooden Shield, Shaprjaw draws his bow & arrow. Balcazar casts Fly to send Sharpjaw up to the ogre cave, then Sharpjaw casts Hunter's Mark on the ogre he sees inside. The ogre eyes him hungrily, as does the Dragonhound he keeps as a pet.
