Full Report
I meet up with my friend Archiebald the Barbarian for a personal quest he wanted to achieve, as well as the overzealous druid Swampy. From the beginning, I felt as if I was not a part of what was actually going on, as both of my companions seemed to have a better understanding of some underlying going on about this hunt. I believe it has a connection with this Goop incident with the ants that occurred a while ago. Most especially the druid, who was intent on killing the creature for some cycle of the strong overcoming and the weak being nourishment, I do not know what it means, but he is fanatical about this.
We made our way south to catch a boat that bypassed the Kobold Mountain, cross through the marshes of the Avis River Basin, and cutting through the Silent Forest. Along the way, passed by a strange tree that will have to be investigated at some point. After much investigating and searching, we made our way to a canyon in the desert, as we hear of sightings of weird scorpions with vibrant green striping along the way, until we finally found the location of our query. We tracked down where this giant scorpion was and attacked it.
It was a difficult enough fight with its very large chitinous body, black exoskeleton clashing with the vibrant green markings that decorate its carapace. A thick ooze drips from the segments of its body, and the sand beneath it sizzles as they land. After what felt like a long battle, we brought it down as Archie landed the final blow and thankfully, the mission was a success. With nothing else to find, we recalled.
