Crimson Nib

What is the proper etiquette to follow when you finally stumble into the Guest Right Room offered by the lord of the realm?  Do you bathe and put on fresh clothes?  Do you sneak about to see what interesting things you might spy or appropriate?  Or do you collapse into the odd but super comfy fey bed and instantly sleep?  Either which way, for these ex-slaves, their dreams are haunted with nightmares!  Do you wanna know more?

After taking a short rest the team huddles and leaves their odd travel companion, Ij’Namuj, to sit alone and puff on his long-stemmed churchwarden pipe.  What does he see as he stares deeply into its smoke?  Doesn’t matter, with pargen berry in hand plans must be made to recover Norbit from his grave.  Is there enough time?!  What’s the smart thing to do while trekking through the jungle as night set’s in?  The dwarf in the party must cliche sing “Hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s off to work I go” ... sigh.  Do you wanna know more?

Diving down and through the watery entrance the four misbegotten compadres indeed find a lair.  An ancient building with ancient writings that tug at the learnings of the one-time archeologist Thorn.  Perhaps Thorn has trouble recalling more because their dwarven ally requires a careful eye.  What is this place?  Where is the object of their quest?  Why are there hats sitting on an altar?  Do you wanna know more?

Within the cenote and as the dust settles, or perhaps better to say the end of splashings and thrashings, a lone body balances between floating and sinking.  The cantankerous barbarian dwarf has ants in his pants and runs to and fro, sticking his nose into everyone’s business.  The hidden knowledge from a time best forgotten, aids one of the companions in knowing that the guardian of this place, tends to also be the minion of an aboleth.  What lies past that glowing underwater entrance?  Do you wanna know more?

Last time I asked you what comes next and now you will have that answer!  The fearless four awaken to find themselves only minutes from their goal.  Pushing past the last bit of flora, Volun leads them to the lip of a cenote.  There is the prize, a lone tree with pink leaves, 125 feet below in the centre of the cenote.  Hmmm ... how to get down?  Their lone rope is only 50 feet long.  So how about ... cow-a-bunga!  Wait!  What just happened?!?!  Do you wanna know more?

The conversation with Grandma Elmtwinkle continues and some of the puzzle pieces begin to fall into place.
