[Grynn] Band of the Holy Wormhole

Band of the Holy Wormhole Spoony (Edward) 14st level Human Bard - Brady Athoth - 1rst level Assimar Platinum Knight - Will Tock Mandolin - 2nd level Half Elf Half Houron Timelord - Tom/T-Rex Creed Pokey/GM - 0-1rst level Gnome Red Shirt - Cullen Blackthorn/Grady The group assembled to go to Latham, the island of the Gnomes to get them involved in the greater war and for the good of the world. Upon arriving they discovered there were three guilds there. The Talespinner's Guild, the Scrivner's Guild and the Crystal Makers Guild. The group visited the talespinner's first and learned of Aco Phi Sian the biggest dragon in the world that had taken over the island and was asleep, and a magical tree it had planted. Also, they learned of gnomish treasures sealed in barrels. Spoony would finally have something to have a proper tale about and join the guild! At the scrivner's guild they learned more history about the island including the location of the Dragon's cave. The group welcomed their member Athoth who helped to translate Gnomish history. At the Crystal guild they learned of treasures that had been taken. Tock, wanting to join, was told that if they could free the island from the dragon then he would be a welcome member of the guild. Tock swore they would try to do this. Then they went to the radio shack. Tock bought a universal remove and still owes Spoony 6 gold he gave him to buy it. It has proven of no use whatsoever. But it makes Tock feel less deprived for not having his Dimensional Wand. The group was going to leave but realized there were buildings not yet exploited in the small town. They went to the inn and picked up a single adventurer who would happily join them, Creepy Pokey, the Gnomish trap maker and expendable red shirt who was, in fact, a valuable member of the party. He was armed with the crow bar the group had acquired and a metal trash can lid. More people were attempted to be recruited but it did not work but Spoony did an inspiring performance speaking of the group's promised deeds. The group went to [eidetic memory fill in here] which sold stepping disks and such and were depressed. Tock filled out a pre employment form for when the planar barrier would go down. The group swore they would attempt to bring it down and this cheered up the gnomes. With no more buildings left to explore the group went to the cave. They encountered three very stupid serpent men who were promptly killed. Three dark holy symbols were burned by Athoth who was promptly blessed by his god. Athoth also found the hidden pouch with the black vial which Spoony cleaned with his cantrip. Tock used hypnosis to help the group through the psychic web. The group then used the black vial to kill the orange ooze. They waited until nightfall to make the bat go away. They used Tock's aftersight to spot the dragon's familiar and then searched for it and killed it. Athoth challenged the dragon to combat who turned out to be the 2nd weakest dragon in the world, and despite valiant efforts was getting its ass handed to it save for fortituous events: Upon taking of the fruit of the utopia tree, Tock had a single wall of fire that did nothing to the dragon...BUT, the barrel full of gunpowder rolled into said wall did. Spoony's music made a huge difference in damage every round. Creepy Pokey's telepathic understanding of the dragon's thoughts let him hit it. Athoth destroyed the altar of tiamat with a single blessing from his god. Still the dragon breathed on Athoth, nearly killing him. Tock was nearly thrown through the portal but his mastery of portals let him stay, open the barrel with the Holy Shotgun of Awesomeness which really REALLY hurt the dragon, combined with a critical longsword hit from the paladin. Alas, the dragon was not dead and ran away. Trapped on the other side of the psychic web, Creepy would tell the town they were free. The group went through the portal which lead to [insert ededitic memory thingy here] a city with a big tower and a dragon school (according to rumor.) They split treasure, rested, sold barrels, and went to the tower. They found a secret entrance and went up into the tower and met [insert eidetic memory here] who told them many useful things.
