Bridge Fight
The group takes a long rest and wakes up in the morning at 6am. The group decides to leave east through the forest. The group makes their way to a flowing river with no concerns. Zieg notices a bridge directly in front of us. Tossy starts walking across the bridge and when he gets halfway across Barr and Violi begin to shake the bridge. Tossy walks a little bit fast and successfully crosses the bridge and sees a glimmer shining in the bushes. Tossy goes closer to the glimmer. A large golems comes out smashes his hands into the bridge and the rest of the group tumbles from the bridge. Barr just lets himself fall while Violi, Zieg and Mingo try to hand onto the bridge. Tossy casts invisibility on himself.

Reeeed Rocket… Yummmm
11/24
East of Tryton
It is oddly warm, about 75 degrees. Barr and Zieg feel the ground to see if there is any warmth. Barr determines there is in fact grass and Zieg feels that’s there is some warmth coming from the ground. The group walks to the bottom of the hill and it is no longer warm, so the group walks back circling looking for a cave entrance and doesn’t find one. They decide to Eldritch blast and Mold earth at the base and do this for an hour eventually reaching a spot where there is a warm smooth rock. Zieg attempts to make it see through but just does the surface revealing more rock. Barr touches it and it feels moderately warm. He licks it and puts his ear to it and hears vibrations. Barr stabs it with the ass of his Trident. The group clears out the hole and Violi casts create bonfire in the hole and then further intensifies it along with Barr and Tossy. They wait a minute and Tossy fires an additional fireball into the hole. Violi jumps into the fire casting investiture of flame and continues to feed the flame beginning to heat it to the point of molding it. He continues to heat it and it begins to crack.
Dragon Lair
Violi falls into a cavern containing an ancient red dragon. Mingo drops a devil beat down on Violi and begins to hot box the cavern. Tossy and Barr begin to negotiate with the ancient dragon for Violi’s release. Tossy casts feather fall on Barr and he jumps down. Mingo jumps on his back as he falls. Tossy jumps down as well with Zieg. Barr taps Tossy in the shin with his trident for fucking with him. Barr attempts to turn invisible and the dragon blasts fire at him. The Ancient red dragon agrees to let them free if they get an Ashen Crown from a Lich’s lair. He tells the story of how a Lich stole it from his horde while he was distracted long ago. Should they complete the task they will get 3,000 gold from his horde. Barr is high from the devil beat and asks if there are any snacks around. Mingo is also high and the dragon continues to explain the Lich’s weakness is destroying the phylactery. The problem will be that the Lich is probably wearing the crown. Barr says ya Liches be Liches dude as he continues to munch on the boar. The Dragon rises up and looks down on Barr and says that the Crown gives him control of the dead. He commands them to go forth and collect it. Mingo is petting his Fae moss while this all goes on. Barr once again asks what you do down here all the time, The dragon says he kills adventures that fall in. Barr asks if he would want to hang out ever and the dragon tells him to put down the boar’s leg. Barr asks if they complete the task can they have a vial of the dragon’s blood and he agrees. The Lich last resided close, in a nearby city. One of the closest 3 cities. Barr then asks why he doesn’t come with them since he so formidable. The dragon begins to get a bit testy telling them to stand in a line. The dragon pulls a tonsil stone out slams it to the ground creating a flame. Tossy sees this and asks the dragon to look in his mouth for a tonsil stone. The dragon picks him up and claws at his chest pulling out a piece of his soul and puts it in the flame. Barr tells him he’s one of the coolest, but weirdest people we’ve ever met. The dragon puts a claw to his forehead and mumbles something to himself. He tell Barr to leave and directs him to what appears to be a long cavern. The dragon snaps his claws and Barr teleports directly in front of him. The dragon tells them if they fuck around he will summon them back and they will live forever in his servitude. Tossy tells the dragon he needs to relax and asks what happens if they put on the crown. He tells them whatever he does don’t put on the crown. Barr asks how will he know when they have retrieved the crown. He gives him a burning sending stone. He tells them to ONLY use that to communicate when they have the crown. Barr then proceeds to test the sending stone, “This Is Papa bear do you come in Red Rocket”. Barr then comes to a realization asking where did Violi go? The dragon tells them he almost immediately teleported away. The dragon then sends them back up through the hole from which they came.
Strix
Zieg takes the lead on the trip to Strix. The group approaches Strix and there is a wall around the city with a gate. There is a weird emblem on the door that they do not recognize a and a blue flame at the gate house. There are two watchers at the gatehouse asking them to state their business. Barr asks if there is food in there and they say no. Zieg tries to explain to the guards that his friends are tired and asks if there is a place they can stay. The guards go over and grab some chains. Zieg notices it looks like they are grabbing the chain but their hands are actually going through the chain. The gates open and they see a city and it has all the mundane workings of a city, but many people appear lethargic and going through the motions. Mingo uses divine sense and can tell everyone around him are undead. Zieg tries to tell the group Violi is playing hide and seek since they are all high as fuck. Barr tries to play it cool and falls on his face and yells out and everyone turns to look. He sees a building that says “Inn”.
Inn
They head over and there are some patrons sitting there staring into the abyss. The barkeep asks if there’s anything they can help here. Barr asks “what exactly is it that you do here”. The Barkeep says he used to be an adventurer like yourself, but I don’t know what happened. He comes around the corner with an arrow in his knee. He gives them all a round of drinks for 5 silver. The drink is called bog water. Barr asks him if there are any happy people here or any bottles. He says nope there is all homebrew. Mingo takes some of the fermented ooze and casts detect thoughts. Mingo cannot sense any thoughts coming from him absolutely blowing his mind. Zieg asks if they have a mayor. He says yes it is run by Sedah. Zieg then asks if he wears a crown to which he says yes don’t all mayors. Mingo telepathically tells himself and then to Barr, don’t drink it. And asks the bar keeper what exactly it is you do here. The bar keep tells Barr it will help you snap out of whatever you are under. Mingo slaps the drink out of Barrs hand. Mingo thinks to Barr “Kakaw” Barr freaks out. Brr asks where’s Violi and Mingo tells him he ate him. Zieg says they’ll take that room now. Tossy tells Barr Violi is upstairs and up they go. Zieg puts the three to bed putting Tossy in the middle. The group has a bedside conversation about Liches and Barr recalls some details about a Lich. While Tossy sleeps he wakes up and says dead people Liches and goes back to sleep. When Mingo wakes up his beard is very dwarvish. Mingo and Tossy wake up and shake off their high and sees Mingo’s beard and questions whether they are still high.
Zieg Scouting
Zieg goes out and about to scout the town while the others nap. He finds the mayoral estate and it appears to be the most lively of the town. There are 3 guards stationed at the door. They are wearing plate armor and each of their plates has the head of a dog on it. Zieg tries to be covert and tries to get an idea of the what’s holding down the fort. The 3 guards appear to be undead, but slightly different the rest of the people they’ve met so far. There is only one entrance to the estate and its where the guards are standing. He returns to the inn and waits for the rest of his friends to wake up.
