Wyz studied his spells while his friends caroused. Then, he studied his spells while they slept it off, pausing occasionally to try to kick them awake. Finally, they woke up, complaining of hangovers, and the group blearily set off for the barrowmaze.
Before even reaching the barrows, four giant frogs hopped to the attack from ambush. The rest of the group were surprised, but Wyz had his goblin wariness to protect him, and reacted quickly. Two of the four frogs fell into enchanted slumber, but four of his party did too.
Kethry bravely fled from the frog attacking her to wake Helfen, but the frog’s long tongue had enough reach to slurp her up. That was the last of the new girl. I wonder if the Grey Company will send the group an L next? There does seem to be a pattern to the recruits, a bit. Odd. Maybe the quartermaster is bored. At least he can read and write, unlike most of those numbskulls.
They insisted on spending the rest of the day digging, instead of dealing with the frogs in the swampy barrow. The idiots don’t see the value of living enemies and a good plan. Make the toads nap, kill them one at a time, drain the swamp, find the treasure.
The scorpions somehow snuck up on the group while they dug like idiot dwarves. Notice that they did not sneak up on Wyz, oh no. Only the idiots got surprised. I was ready for the scorpions. A wise wizard is always prepared, and I is Wyz!
