Time buggin’flies by in the Feywild. Who’ve buggin know you’d promise to help your granny draconic teacher with a little job in Port Ffirst the next week, flit over to the Feywild the following day with her grandaughter for couple days home and then yourselves flitted back only to realise a whole week has past and you were running late! Commuting to the Feywild on a daily basis must be a buggin’nightmare!
Talking of nightmares, all the banana bread in Port Ffirst was being turned into Crispbread! Dry..flavourless..crisp bread..
Okay… So maybe things weren’t that flitt’bad!-you can blame old Lieutenant Sanger for that horror pastry analogy. But someone was apparently ‘exchanging’ all the gold in the rich port merchants’ personal vaults from gold into copper. Which meant they had far more change than they had pocket space…
The buggin’monster!
Lut-Sanger said if we could solve who was causing this coin chaos he’d send Jenna an apology banana bread basket for steering the emotional merchants her way whilst he tried to hold of an.. economy crisis-whatever that is? To be honest I always considered Jenna more of a ginger bread kind gal…Perhaps cinnamon rolls.
Clued up we hit up Value Vaults the-best…and only vault shop in town and in our ‘investigations’ learnt three things.
1. All the mugged merchants had bought ‘The Value Vault Special’0 and there was only customer left that who be next to be target on the thief’s hit list.
2. Lolli and I can cause enormous amounts of chaos pretending to be Booysha’s grandkids together!
3. Their desk sweets were some of the most flittin’disgusting things I’d ever put in my mouth! Sugar dusted?! More like dust-dusted and sat under a minotaur’s-
We hurried to the home of the final Value-Vaults-VIP where-we caught the Kobold-burglar blue-flittin’handed in the middle of a cash conversion. With some epic-tag teaming in use of counter spell by Lolli, polymorph by Glade, grabbing by Anabel and myself-and a witty one liner by Booysa-we had them all frogged, locked and jam-jarred before they even could ribbit, “I’m innocent!”
Back at the Port First Patrol Station under secure interrogation, the very complimentary Kobold revealed that their patron had asked them to come to Port First and cause as much chaos as possible, while also complimenting on the decor of the station-just like that fiend I had faced a couple weeks prior with the blue bugger balloon bridge-the chaos that is, not how nice the silk bed sheets were.
With a little more persuasion ala a ‘The Beast’ induced, “WHAT’S YOU NAME?! WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?!” From myself, the Kobold cut the crap and confirmed she was called Hyacinth and
worked for Kanudor the Transcendent-a blend-mix of a Jin and Red Dragon-There see how much flittin’easier that was? This Police lark is easy, don’t know why Derthadd complains so much!
With the facts all put straight Booysa signed it off as successful case closed and treated us all to super fancy afternoon tea at a new place in town called Gossamer Threads-which even the old’Lieutenant couldn’t say no too after ‘conveniently’ clocking off duty.
It is strange though, I thought before making way onto a second liberally jam and cream dunked scone. Two seeming unrelated individuals being asked to ‘cause chaos’ around The Dawnlands, both receiving messages stamped with the same squiggly ‘bird’ symbol.
Was it just a coincidence, or was there more trouble a’flit?…
