Entry #574 - The Islands

(G574 23/11/2024 via Roll20 - JF(GM), KT, AP) YI31

[Fenrir, Reinward, Fang and Irritator are in Baldur's Gate tracking down a magical egg that will - hopefully - turn him back into a kobold. They have been told to go to a place called Gifferzer Island.]

DAY 658 (20th Nightal)(December)

When Ishi had told them everything she could that would be useful they made to leave Kobold Alley. However, they were prevented from leaving by a crowd of racists that had arrived.
'Who took the kobold from the well?' one of them demanded. 'When it was us that put it there!'

Fang and Irritator went round the back to guard the flanks and Fenrir and Reinward took on the main force. Fenrir started by intimidating a gentleman known as Billy Bigballs and floating in the air.

A lady known as Stabby Sooz threw some daggers, but was killed instantly by Reinward using the same technique. Fenrir then 'hosed down' the crowd with an Eldritch Cone, killing five people instantly.
'Watch out, there are kids in the crowd!' warned Reinward. Fenrir took more care to kill only adults. Reinward used his daggers to take out those than ran for the side alleys as Fenrir cut down the others like stalks of wheat before a scythe.

When the local law enforcement arrived, a mercenary outfit known as the Flaming Fists, Fenrir turned on the charm and paid out 100 gold to smooth over the dozen or so Baldur's Gate citizens they had just slaughtered.

When asked for names, Fenrir gave his real name and Reinward told them "Fangornio, of Waterdeep".

After that they rounded up Fang and Irritator, bought some clothes that would fit them when they changed into walking lizards and teleported back to Yag Island. They then came to talk to me.

Learning about what they had just done I did wonder at how easily they had killed people that were misguided for sure, but still citizens of a good and lawful city. Had non-lethal force not been an option I wondered? I also wondered at what their reception might be if they ever returned.

Anyway, all they wanted from me was another teleport. They nearest I could get then was the pleasant southern port of Renkrue. You may remember I visited this place at the start of my adventures on the Sea Wyvern as we sailed for Farshore.

I agreed to do it the next day and they went to get washed up.

DAY 659 (21st Nightal)(December)

Corhim's "Wizard's tower" was completed today. It is only the first three floors and built to a gnomish scale, but as with everything the dwarf mason's had built so far it was of excellent quality and looked great.

I met the egg hunters after breakfast. Fenrir told me he had dreamed of a "beautiful dragon maiden", but i could not help him with its meaning.

Fang wanted to stay on Yag for a while so I teleported the others to Renkrue with no mishaps and hurried home to the wife as she needed some shopping done. I learned later that they did not hang about and quickly chartered a fishing boat to take them the rest of the way to Gifferzer. It was dark when the arrived at about ten in the evening.

They spent the night on the boat.

DAY 660 (22nd Nightal)(December)

Fenrir had another dream in the night. It was the same lady, but this time he could see she was in a cave. He tried to communicate with her but was unable to.

It was fried fish for breakfast, then they used Fenrir's magical folding boat to go to the island's shore. As soon as they crossed onto the land they turned into ophidians. This effect, I am lead to understand, is a variation of the "Serpentine Curse".
