It seems as late I do not have much time to write in this journal.  Could it be that we are always running from one thing or another?   Oberon got unceremoniously dropped off in the Roc’s nest. He was not alone. Apparently, he was saved by a Gnome wizard Master Grendelspark, otherwise known as Scorch. Apparently, Scorch was also a prisoner of the dragonborn and had followed our escape route with some others and he was the only one that made it out. Oberon had been captured by Shadar-kai and sent back to the Raven Queen’s prisons where he once again escaped and started through the desert after us. Scorch found him almost dead. He revived him with the last of his water and that's when the Roc found them and took them to the nest to feed her babies. Now that we're all back together hopefully we can get to Boartore and then across this accursed desert.

We got down for the Roc’s nest only to find Seymour and the four guard “slaves” that were to protect Seymour, Bill and Ad.  The guards were all dead, but Pinroy was able to get Seymour back on his feet and it was said that they were attacked and Bill and Ad were taken prisoner and taking toward Boartore. Seymour said their capturers mentioned something about Ran Mould.Why does everyone want to go to Ran Mould?  Our new escaped slave friends put the dead guard clothes on and off we went after Bill and Ad.  I asked why they didn’t kill Ad and he said they seemed excited to know he was from the Adventurer’s Guild. 

Blocking our path is our good friend Death with a new sickle. He sicced two of his demons on us and disappeared back to the abyss where he had come. We did short work of the demons. Sister gathered their blood for her new sword. Apparently, Chaos who is also Moloch this stole after us.

We can continue to travel to Boartore, when we are approached by two lizard folk that look like Pinroy. Pinroy is happy to see them and introduces them as his sister JuJu, and his brother Weird Harold. JuJu says that their older brother, Skink, had taken over the tribe and has been sacrificing Pinroy’s brothers and sisters to the Sun Lich. Juju wants us to go to the Oasis and take care of Skink as she and Weird Harold are the last of Pinroy’s family left.

We decide to help Pinroy’s family and follow JuJu to the Oasis where we lay a trap for Skink and his crony Clarg.  Weird Harold tells us of some shifting sand and if we can trap Skink in there he won’t be able to get out.  Pinroy will act as bait since Skink hates him. The rest of us will hide.  Sister and I bury ourselves in the sand while Wave hides in the water and Oberon and Scorch are behind trees. 

The plan works beautifully except it captures Clarg rather than Skink and Skink is much more demon than Lizardfolk and he sure hates Pinroy. 

He almost had us a couple of times, but we rallied and were able to defeat him saving Juju and Weird Harold.  We decided to stay at the Oasis for the rest of the day and night and we will continue on to Boartore.

Oh, a side note…apparently the Sun Lich, who we all thought was killed by Bill’s mama is not really dead..well he’s dead but not dead dead.  Yay, so now we have a devil prince, a lich, and a red dragon, an entire city of red dragonborn, and a pissed off camel dealer to contend with.  Really all I want is the Cap’n money and a way out of this desert so Sister and I can start our own circus.  Scorch is amazing with fire and says he’ll join so we have three acts!
