Biggie Smalls12/13:We fought a second scrum against goblins with a couple of hobgoblin soldiers for stiffening. This wouldn't have been too bad except 1) both Bart's halfling warlock and Jeff's elf warlord were absent, and 2) we produced nothing but single-digit numbers on our attack rolls for the first two or three rounds of combat. The result was that we won the battle but only after the paladin fell out of the fight twice and Biggie fell out once. Bill graciously allowed the warlord to poke his head into the room and revive the paladin both times, which saved our bacon. No such favor was done for Biggie until after the fight, but it was all over except for the mopping up when he collapsed. Still no face-to-face meeting with the mysterious Pyrodon, which we assume to be the fire elemental glimpsed earlier. No doubt he lurks somewhere in our future.We encountered a new mystery on our return to town. A draconic creature of some sort accosted Beth's halfling, Jarrett Farwhere, from a dark alley (is there any other kind?) with mysterious instructions to 'deliver the goods at high sun tomorrow in the cemetery'. Since we have no goods to deliver, this message was obviously meant for someone else. The messenger swore that he'd sniffed out a member of the right family, however, so we must conclude that someone in the Farwhere clan is up to no good. Biggie did his best to spill the beans, despite Jarrett's effort to keep the family skeletons in the closet. There's method to his madness, however -- he's not just a gorgeous idiot. Biggie nearly bit off his own tongue on several occasions, such as when we found an amulet portraying a snake "eating its own tail," when the paladin began discussing the merits of "laying hands on himself," and when Beth's fortune cookie delivered the message, "A short stranger will soon enter your life with blessings to share."Steve'</blockquote>
