Lost and Found

The doggos are all very hungry and anxious, so we get them into a nice tent and get some fire going and give them lots of food. We spend the night with the doggos. They’re very soft and snuggly and I don’t want to go find the dumb people who left them here all alone without food. But we promised, so we secure them in the tent again and make sure the fire’s gonna burn down and not up. I dunno, whatever Eggy said.

Up the big hill we go. We had to bribe a couple big goats to let us pass. Everything is so hungry out here. A little while later the even snow tries to eat us. But my little ice friends’ pinecone saves the day, and even Yogi who can’t get inside uses it to hide behind. Jinx is a hero with his little pinecone, everyone says so.

A little while later we find a nearly dead guy in the snow. This is the nice guy’s husband, and Good Boy is very happy to have his master back. He says he was with three other people and that yetis attacked. Eggy gets really excited about making a yeti-skin coat. He says they were just up here exploring for no reason because they like adventure. That seems like a bad reason to go where the invisible blue dwarves live, but people here are very strange. He doesn’t know about the dwarves, though. He tried to get the yetis away from his friends, but I guess it didn’t work.

He shows us where they got attacked. There’s a lot of blood there, near a cave mouth. So, Doc and I head in to scout. He says I really need some googles of dark, but that’s okay, I trust Doc to keep me safe. We find a big hole in the ground and a room full of bones. Doc says one of the skulls could be a hippoman like Eggy. There’s lots of bones here. The next room has a big family of yetis playing catch with a little halfling woman. Three big ones and two little ones, so Doc and I back up and call in the rest of the Best Friends Club.

They’re really noisy though, so the yetis come charging out to meet them in the bone room. This is a lot more yetis than last time and they hurt me a lot and Doc gets real mad and big and dark. But we get them so they can’t hurt anybody else anymore.

Parylou or Parallel or something, the halfling lady in the other room is really upset and scared even though the yetis are all dead. She hasn’t seen her other friends. Leshy goes back to look at the bones and says that the hippoman skull is probably just the almost giant man’s. That leaves just one, a tiefling called Astricks or something. The Yetis had some magic rocks, so Twitch gathers them up. Pary doesn’t want to come, so we leave Garry with her while we go look for the demon lady. A little way further up the hill we find her, frozen in a little ball next to a broken tent and a buried dwarf without a head. So we bring them both back.

We get back to the yeti cave to sleep for the night with all the dead people and the found people. In the morning, we take them down the hill and get all their things and doggos. Garry says he can get everyone to the nearest town because Eggy really wants to look for the dwarves while we’re here. That’s not what we’re supposed to do, though. He gets everyone else to agree with him, though. So they head east and we find a path up to the dwarves’ place.

Yetis, Goblins, and a Killer

The Dougan’s Hole speaker gave us a pair of her husband’s old boots for killing the wolves. Then we took Danika back to Good Mead, where we talk to Olivessa again. She says Torga’s caravan just left, but we have things to do first. Danika has to go meet the nice little ice friends and see the underwater statue. So, we take her out to the forest.

The dead town guards are gone, I wonder if the animals or the townspeople got them. Back at the cave, Danika says the water is really holy and can help really help you out once. Doc and I went to play outside, and the little ice friends came back. We had a really good snowball fight. Danika really liked them, too. I almost killed one though, cuz my psi powers are finally coming back, but Leshy fixed it. She’s really happy here and thinks it’ll help her fight the angry goddess lady. She gives us a jingly bag and a tooth to say thanks for bringing her. Seems fair, so we head out.

A meanlock tries to go after our ice friends, but Doc and I scare them off. Nasty things. Twitch says there could be doors to they faewild here, but he says he’ll keep an eye out so we don’t trip through one. Can’t go back yet, I still don’t have control and I haven’t found James, yet. Well, not the right James, yet. Maybe I should be a human in the towns? Twitch likes the bees back at the Good Meadhall.

Next day we head off to Byrnshander. Or something. To find that caravan and the man whose been killing people. Saalym says someone will pay us for getting proof and taking care of him. I don’t remember that conversation, musta been drinking. When we get to town, she says we should go to the Northlock to get information. Saalym sells the rest of our space ale to the owner and Doc and I get to drinking with Sandy, seeing how many glasses fit inside him. Twitch had to go talk to people, and the others start talking to people. We wanto hep, so we makesum music n birdnoise. Is real godd. Til Doc staf stop makn noise.

In the morning, Saalym says some dwarves need us to go get their sled back from some Yetis. Nasty big things killed their friend. Sounds like fun, maybe the Yetis will just give it back, they don’t need a sled. So, we head north to where the dwarves got hit. The dead guy is really messy, and Saalym and Leshy pull him together and bury him in the snow. We get a big rock to mark the spot and I write Dwarf next to it, so they’ll know.

Eggy finds the sled track and a bunch of little footprints, so we follow. There’s a bunch of goblins trying to put the sled in their wagon. And they have a couple polar bears! How fun! Doc talks to the fancy goblin and we trade for the sled back. I give them the jingly bag Danika gave us, and Doc gives them a big axe, and some food. We tell her we’re going to go kill some Yetis, so if they need food, we’ll just bring the Yetis back for them to eat. So, she gives us some potions in trade for the future Yeti meat.

It takes us a lot of the next day to find the Yeti cave. I try to talk to them, but they just come charging out and try to kill Doc and Sandy. So, we kill them right back, even the little one. I get a bone for Yogi and we find a ring that makes me nice and warm. It’s a little weird. Then drag their meat right back to the goblins. Now they won’t have to bother the town people for a while. Got lots of meat now. Oh! Doc got really big like a giant when we fought them. Twitch says maybe some of that ice chair magic rubbed off on him and mixed with the ship explosion stuff. So now he gets big so he can fight giants better.

We go back and give the sled back. It’s got lots of metal on it. They say we can have get stuff cheaper at their smithy forever. I got my psi blades now though, don’t really need metal things anymore.

Now we have to find the murder man. Saalym says he works for Torga and she’s got a stall in the market. She and Twitch go shopping and Doc and I go along. I go as Jinna, though, with Leshy’s ears so he won’t recognize me later. Saalym stares at the murder man a lot, but the dwarf lady says he doesn’t really like people. After they buy some stuff, Doc and I go climb up on a roof to watch. Gotta be a goblin so they won’t see me up there.

When the market closes, he heads off by himself. We follow him, whispering everything back to Twitch and Saalym. That’s another cool thing I remembered how to do. Then he goes into a house, and before we can follow him in, he kills somebody! Doc and I jump through the window to stop him getting away. I let Twitch and Saalym know and they say we should kill him. He’s really confused, and doesn’t look like he feels better when we tell him we won’t eat him. But I think he’s getting mad, hope everyone else gets here soon.
