Greyhawk 9: Lassoing Lions
General Summary
Overheard at the bar after Findere had half a drink
So Willow, Dax, & I went to go talk with The Count at his mansion. He showed me how to use this cool magical mailing system & I will be playing with its limits as much as I can. Anyway, he said we basically have ownership of the Chateau now & he'll send some helpers to man the house so we can live in it properly. He does expect to have all Zagyg-specific stuff sent to him though for his collection.
We then went off to go make sure the Chateau was looking good for company when we noticed a few lions streaking through town, having escaped from a managerie. Willow & I were on it immediately - Willow went and entangled two that had ran away together, while I went and successfully lassoed the solo one! Tripped it up and everything. But I was so focused on keeping it from running away, I accidentally got too close and it got a good couple swipes at me. I lay dying before Willow came, fixed me up, & then heroically chased it with Dax into the waiting Managerie Manager's range where he snared it with a net. The 2 entangled lions were enticed back to their cages using nice, quality meat.
The Managerie Manager took great care of me as I lay dying & managed to stitch me up real good. He showed Dax & Willow his cool collection of tigers, lions, an owlbear, & even a hydra. He said he loves collecting rare & unique creatures and if we continue adventuring, to keep him in mind if we see anything cool. Also, Dax negotiated a 10gp/body pay system for bringing goblin bodies to feed the Hydra, so long as he doesn't mind them missing an ear. I guess we'll be heading back to the Chateau another time, where I'll face death a 3rd time & prevail!
