Go! Go!" he cried.  "I think I just alerted every troll in the desert!"And he gave each party member 17 g.p., Tippy received a potion of who-knows-what, Johnny got a fine-looking (and glowing!) khopesh, and Alber't'ickle kept the two matching daggers.  And somewhere along here Tippy tossed a couple of cures into himself, such that he could stub his toe without immediately needing to make death saves.And so the car rolled toward the oasis........Tippy (Theodore Ignatius Phillpot Price; Cleric-2; Hammer, unknown potion, 17 g.p.) - 12 h.p.-- Claude (Lobster; Tippy's familiar; Boomerang)Ikidunot (aka Toothpaste) (Wizard-2; books)Alber't'ickle (Octo-Thief-3; 3 daggers, magic club, 26 g.p., plenty of ink)Tasha (Half-Orc/Half-Orc Fighter-2; Versatile Halberd +1 of Dragon Summoning & Sling, 17 g.p.)Ha!
