Log
first winter day. friends sent to climb up big rock with tarkistrazlbeh, old kobold. not enjoying winter, but mips enjoy climb. new friend today! mips seeing friend use chop-chop and arrow-slinger both. very impress.
taking seven days to get to mountain with wagon. when arrive, friends feel mountain snow very cold. great birdman very strong - no shirt but not caring of winter. as friends move up climb-path, listen to old tarkistrazlbeh speaking of stories climb with.
see and hear blue-scale. fellow kobold, but from mountain. kobold yelling in common to leave. mips thinking this not fair: talking back in sakvroth that mountain not for ownership. blue-scales start shooting crossbow. mips give warning shot but blue-scale hitting claire. mips decide squatting blue-scales not kind.
regret. friends dispatch kobolds. necessary for old tarkistrazlbeh. mountain blue-scales no good for travelers, and very unkind. hurt from chop-chop and crossbow, friends sit at blue-scale camp and rest while tarkistrazlbeh talks about journey and climbing. friends seem not understand, but mips listen very carefully to wise kobold.
deciding to climb up path, friends find broken bridge and large white-fur bear. mips not happy. great birdman jump over broken bridge, but bridge not broken. mips not understand, but bridge floating in air and can not be seen.
urallo sees animal, and mips again not happy. urallo making strange noise talking to another bear. this bear loud and angry but not hurting friends. friends clearing out foot-trap for bear. white-fur roar at mips and mips not so sure about climb up mountain anymore, but urallo say bear friendly. mips not sure urallo knowing of bear diet.
friends, tarkistrazlbeh, bear, all climb up mountain for rest of day. very nice hiking. find top of mountain, and see big tent. friends finding foot-trapping all over. mips thinking bear might step, but when mips trying clear, find blue dragon.
dragon speaking out in draconic. mips confused because dragon have very kobold name: brylwlgyr. claire speak back, saying dragon ask for pay to climb mountain. mips not wanting fight dragon, but pip saying "no tribute". more blue-scale come out with dragon.
mips see great birdman hit great blue dragon with beak. blue dragon disappear with one hit into dust. mips amazed - great birdman truly greatest dragonslayer!
friends fighting blue-scale, when seeing Big Kobold appear. mips thinking strange - also same name as blue dragon: brylwlgyr. kobold use zap-zap on friends, but friends fight and send blue-scales all to resting.
old tarkistrazlbeh climb up to peak of mountain, sit on log. mips see tarkistrazlbeh bleeding, but only give old kobold drink to less hurting. tarkistrazlbeh pass on. very sad, but old kobold resting where he enjoy most.
friends dig grave for tarkistrazlbeh (mips need tell friends kobold no burn into ash when die) and bury old kobold at peak of big rock.
tarkistrazelbeh giving coin for work. friends find treasures from blue-scale tent we take. mips take tarkistrazlbeh walking stick in memory. pip stop mips from using as walking stick - unwrap leather and find gun inside! too old to use. mips maybe finding someone to fix.
friends camp at top of mountain together with bear. singing song and enjoying foodstuff. sleep up in tent and fire - mips cold at top of big rock. next morning, going back down mountain to go home. find wagon-pulling drake of tarkistrazlbeh. urallo telling drake tarkistrazlbeh now resting.. friends return to city before freeing drake.
mips remember old kobold. rest in piece.
