In which Badger...
- Scheming to get the lizardmen's loot and avenge his fallen friends hires "unhireable" magic user Mortimer, who's useless Read Languages spell makes him easy fodder to hire for an adventure.
- Travels to the lizardmen lair, only for Mortimer to immediately perish as he and Badger try outmaneuver the 2 lizardman guards posted outside the lair (of the 6 remaining), forcing Badger to flee and restrategize.
- Having trouble hiring more mages - or any adventurers for that matter - after Mortimer's disastrous demise spreads through Kebi village, decides that he has to sweeten the pot by stealing his former mage comrade Maira's spellbook back from the lizardmen.
- Takes his pet stirge Chumly and travels back to the lair. Observing the lizardmen guards patterns, he discovers the lull in the patrol when one guard goes to the bathroom.
- Takes advantage of one of the "bathroom breaks" to have Chumly distract the other guard as he rushes into the lair, luckily avoiding other lizardmen, and searching the garbage pits to find Maira's corpse and spellbook.
- Rushes out of the lair outrunning the slow lizardmen, with spellbook and Chumly in tow.
- Makes a deal in Kebi with one human mage Tana to pay for her to copy one of Maira's spells - Sleep - into her spellbook as upfront payment to help him out on his quest, as well as future adventures.
- Heads back to the lair - only to encounter a friendly wolf, who is keen on eating rations and yipping more similar to a dog than a wolf. The duo dub him Pup as he follows them along with the stirge.
- Arrives at the lair and rushes in with him, Tana, the wolf and the stirge, running around and causing chaos while keeping abreast of the relatively slow lizardmen while waiting for the other lizardmen to rush in at the sound of alarm.
- Loses Pup and Chumly in the ensuing combat as the two loyal pets fall to the lizardmen.
- Manages to lure all the lizardmen into the trap with all the running around and chaos, allowing Tana to cast sleep resulting in all the lizardmen falling into a deep magical slumber - at which point the duo go around and slit the throats of the sleeping reptiles.
- Loots the corpses of his former comrades and all the treasures of the lizardmen's lair.
- Scouts around the wilderness in the area a while longer to determine that the area has been cleared.
- Returns to Kebi with his new comrade Tana to sell the loot and honor his fallen comrades' deaths with proper burials.
Current Levels: Badger 4, Tana 1
