At the guild I was asked to help with a job. I had half a mind to deny the request but we were being sent off to the desert to help pick up artifact(s?) for Springreach university. The desert! I had never been before! This was a great opprtunit to do somw mapping and see some new beasts. My party was a big mix. All of them new to me. Piprim and Leopra weren’t going. Nor was Julius. It would be hard to get a word in edge wise, but I would do my best to make nice.

We spent a lot of time lost due to Joc. I am great at navigation and maps. I just…didn’t ever end up saying anything so we just remained lost until we weren’t lost anymore. It was a little fun to be honest. In the desert itself we ended up getting ambushed by some scorpions. Normally I would try to talk them down. The party had other ideas. They attacked instantly. I had heard they they taste amazing; it was too bad I wasn’t a big fan of eating meat. I shaped myself into a lion and went on the offensive slashing at a giant scorpion with my claws. It took some time, but we were able to beat them all down.

We took a break to take a rest for the night and in the morning we kept up our exploration. We were majung decent progress until we spotted a weird guy with his dogs on a run. The guy, well, he looked weird from a distance. It wasn’ too scary until his dog ran forward and had clearly been dead for years at least! He was an undead!!! We went into battle. I stayed back and launched my spells my first time using them offensively. We were able to re-dead him and end his life…again…and his dogs too.

We made it to the tomb and we went inside carefully. No traps. No fluff. We made it to the center. We made it to the “big boss room” as someone called it. There I expected to see a massive monster of epic hated and intense fury…instead we saw a cute like slime dude! Her had an ability to scare us but we were able to kill him so fast it didn’t matter.

We headed home with our spoils soon after!
