The group enjoys a much needed vacation while the various magical items they commissioned are completed. The king proposes to them several different missions with which to chose from. They decide to take the one that seems to fit them best. It is to head far south to the Kingdom of Gripencon where it is believed that monarch some how knows about Forthington and their involvement in the destruction of most Longincane's royalty. The king asks them to infiltrate, find out what is known, and make sure the word does not get out to the rest of the kingdoms.
On the journey south, they come across a great Gold dragon as they enter into the Gripencon kingdom. He breaths a fire cloud that nearly kills some of the group. They retreat and wait to meet up with the rest of their party so they can collectively rid the world of this foul beast.
Taking some time off has been refreshing and I had keep built on my land. Plus, I finished my armor and it's a work of art. Meeting with the King was frustrating and annoying. He would make proposals and I would recommendation, which some were great! But he would shoot them down because they weren't his ideas. However, the armor and the keep were nice gifts, and his only saving grace. He also told me to call him by his first name; apparently he is quite fond of us.
ReplyDeleteWe trail blazed for about a week without any trouble, until a golden blight from the sky torched our horses and almost killed Graz and Marcus, too. Up ahead is where the dragon swooped into: a cave mouth in the side of a small mountain. I remember the king saying he wanted a dragon egg or baby for his own, so tally forth and let us dine on adult dragon tonight!
