Session 20: We're Still Alive!!!!!!!
General Summary
Well, as you probably recall from my last entry, shit was going bad. I was in the clutches of a green dragon, while Cathia and Cillian had both been knocked unconscious by its death breath and Night That Eats Stars was looking pretty seriously roughed up. The dragon started talking shit. He obviously has never seen that play where that really cool guy stabs the shit out of this like super evil giant, but like stops to like shit talk the giant before finishing the job, so the giant just like seizes the opportunity to murder his face in. I feel like that's what's about to happen here.
Dragon-ass is pontificating and I'm waiting for Skoldreg and Night to blow his head off. He's going on and on about how great wyrms (or maybe he meant worms, I don't know) have failed us all or some shit. Then he started calling us stupid, which I'm like bro my professors have been saying that all year. I make eye contact wtih Skoldreg, he's going to bonk the dragon to death right in the eye hole, I know it. But before he can the dragon pussied out. He just dropped me, told me to scamper on and tell my masters they failed me and then he flew away. Okay, boomer.
Skoldreg and I rushed toward our unconscious and battered friends. I healed Cillian. Skoldreg healed Night. Night healed Cathia. Cathia was all "Am I dead? Is this hell?" and so I started fucking with her, trying to tell her it was. I think she got mad at me. I was just trying to make everyone laugh because you know, everything was fucking terrible. Anyway, we noticed that the green mist was gone now that the dragon had flown away. The mist was obviously dragon farts.
We decided to head back to our dorm rooms, when Cathia said she heard a ruckus. It was a bunch of douchebag kobolds talking about "master," gathering toad butts, and scurrying toward them. Cathia fireballed them all. It had to be done. They were probably shitty guys and it wasn't like any of us were really in any condition to fight.
We got back to the dorms and crashed. The next morning we met up for breakfast and to discuss what to do next. Everyone is pretty upset today. We've had it up to here with the school trying to kill us every other week. Night thinks we should call Auntie O. I feel like this is a pretty good idea, but it turns out none of us know how to call Auntie O exactly. Before we sat down to eat, I went out to the fountain where we teleported into the Auntie O hole before, and messaged her to tell her we needed to talk because some shit had gone down. She didn't respond so I came back inside to eat with the rest of the group. We decide that the best thing to do is to write Auntie O an actual snail mail letter to tell her what we've been through and ask for help. aWhile we were eating pastries and discussing what to say in the letter, Mina Lee comes along and crashes our breakfast. She says Professor Totsky, the teacher who sent us out into the swamp with nothing but a vial of holy water in the first place, wants to see us. We told Mina to tell her she's going to have to wait. People at Strixhaven are so inconsiderate of other people's time. Honestly. Anyway, Mina left and we finished writing to Auntie O. We again realize, we have no idea what her address is. We address the letter to Strixhaven Oracle, Strixhaven Oracle Hole and drop it in the mail.
With the letter posted we headed off to Magical Physiologies to turn in our assholes and crawler needles. The assholes had been in my bag so they accidentally got mixed in with the cinnamon twists I keep in there for snacking and were now coated in cinnamon and sugar. Professor Lang complained about the cinnamon assholes. I offered him the rest of the cinnamon twists. We then presented him with the big grung asshole. He said he couldn't use it, because that would be forbidden magic because it used parts from a humanoid. That seemed dumb since this dude was already dead and that meant his ass would just go to waste. We told Professor Lang the grung had sexually harassed us with his death tongue and then tried to kill us - it was not like we were out there murdering sentient frogs for their assholes. He either didn't believe us or didn't care. He told us to leave. We demanded he pass us all for the semester in exchange for not telling the higher ups that he had sent first year students into a swamp where a known evil grung resided who ended up abusing us. He caved, sort of and said we could all pass the next test. We left.
From there we went to see Professor Trotsky. We were not happy to be back in her presence. We decided maybe she *IS* the dragon. We're not sure what to do with or about her, so we stood outside the door to formulate a plan before we went in. That didn't work out too well, because we just ended up talking a lot about Cathia murdering that whole family of kobolds. She has some guilt about it. We were fucking with her a bit, but then we reassured her that they probably were going to try to kill us and she probably saved us. We were hugging it out when a quill with eyes comes out and stares at us. His name is Quilly. Quilly said Professor Trotsky was bored waiting on us. I told the quill to tell the Professor she was in charge of her own emotions.
We went in. Professor said she found some glass vials that say NN and she doesn't know how to connect them with anything. She said she could see we had applied the holy water and restored the spring and she assumed it was no problem. Night was quick to tell her actually there was a big MF problem - there was a dragon who tried to kill us. We had discussed not telling her what happened, so the rest of us tried to cover for it. Between Cathia, Cillian and me, we told her it was was a dragon toadsmith. I told her those were from the Shadowfell and it probably came over during the rift my parents made during parents week and the rest of them were super freaked out about it but I took care of it. I bullshitted about it a lot and I thought she was buying it, but then she turned to Cillian and asked what actually happened. Cillain said there was some sort of fight but he got knocked out, all he knew was I was unscathed. Night said she was high because she licked a toad, so she didn't know what happend. Cathia was also knocked out and she said she wondered off after that. Skoldreg backed me up. She finally got out of us that we killed a grung. I told her that the grung did a non-consensual death lick on me. The rest of the group said that was true and I was going to get therapy. Cillian told Professor that the guy said Strixhaven students were stupid and so were our professors. Finally Skoldreg fessed up and told the whole story. The Professor was concerned when we finally told her everything about Murgaxor and the dragon. She said Quilly looked him up and he was once a student in her class and both he and his girlfriend had been expelled. Nolia Nightfold was his girlfriend, but she was expelled. Nolia was an elf, and she is still alive. They wrote her off as crazy, but no real danger. But now they think they were wrong, because of the whole NN on the vials thing.
She asked us to investigate Nolia. She said Nolia was chilling in the Shimmering Peaks. She said that area was still volcanically active, but she wanted us to go pay Nolia a visit. She offered us five potions of poison resistance, three potions of healing. We agreed to investigate Nolia, because we didn't want any of the other groups to get credit for saving the school.
After we left the professor we went back to our pub. Night poured one out for the pub and we drank away the events of the last couple of days.
Here's hoping the Shimmering Peaks treat us better than the Sedgemoor did. Until next time,
