Castle Whiterock 19 September 2022: Mopping up turtle guts

The murderhoboes

Garreth, half-orc swordsman
    Bleu, droning elf wizard
Zaber, suave and debonaire man
    Logan, wolverine
Polly, cute and deadly elf archer
Thrognar, half-orc holy warrior

What they did

Garreth wails on the turtle, but only one blow hits, and only its shell. Polly shoots at its skull thrice. I keep flying away from it, clutching Bleu. "Don't think I do this for any elf woman!" When the dragon turtle sticks its head out to strike again, Garreth splits open its skull, and it falls to the ground, going faster than I am with Bleu.

We all get down and, after she snaps to reality again, gives Bleu eight swigs from the wineskin after taking one himself. Garreth and Polly start skinning the dragon turtle, while Bleu and I fly back to Cillamar to look for a surgeon, as we want to harvest the dragon turtle's organs. We meet a fetching woman named Angie, who agrees to help us for half the money. We agree, and Bleu casts Flight on her and we go to join the others. While the others do work, I look for the dragon turtle's lair, and find it underwater.

Bleu casts Water Breathing and Swimming on us, then we check out the lair. There are two scarabs there. Garreth asks Bleu about them, and she says, "Ah, yes, these are Guardian Scarabs, they are not actually gold, they are powerful golems with many sense effects but not invincible, they are not very valuable. They are very dumb." Hearing this, Garreth kites away the scarabs with a harpoon while the rest of us gather the treasure.

The treasure is a big pile of money, gems, and jewelry. Therein is also a gold bulette statue, a platinum scepter tipped with emeralds, a ring of force, a ring that can store one charged spell, a mighty magical dwarven greataxe, bracers of armor, a horn that can summon fog, and a sapphire that when crushed will summon a Dire Water Elemental.
