One of Shaa’s very favorite things about being outdoors all of the time was that he got to enjoy so many wonderful things in nature. Most of the time, he got to enjoy them by himself but this time, that wasn’t an option. He had come to Luna Lake to watch the Lunar Butterflies start their annual migration. It was a little known natural wonder that had grown in popularity over the last couple of years. People would gather at the lake, watch the butterflies, eat and have a big party. Not that Shaa minded the food and drinks but he kind of missed when he had the lake to himself.
He had gotten there early to scout out the best tents for food during the party. Shaa typically slept outside so he did bother wasting time hunting down a campsite. After a couple hours of walking around, he spied a large tent where several different people were setting up. He had a good feeling about it so he volunteered to help them set up in exchange for a good seat later. The owner of the tent, Rygash, was more than happy to oblige him. With Shaa’s help, they are able to finish set up in no time. Rygash flags him down.
Oh boy he whistles brightly. I am really glad that you came along. This tent was a pain! Shaa smiles at the tiny man. I can see that. Happy to be of some help. Sure sure. You have more than earned a place for the show tonight was well as a place at the tasting table. Tasting table? Rygash nods. Sure. We have some famous merchants coming here to show off some food and drink you can’t get anywhere else. I would be honored if you joined us. This was an unexpected bonus and Shaa was happy to accept. Great. It’s done then. Be back here at nightfall and we’ll get started with the tasting. Shaa wondered what types of odd food and drink would be arriving. It would be a fun distraction but for now, he walked over and sat down in one of the private sections and waited for the first sign of the butterflies.
Quest Name: Honey, someone shrunk the heroes Participants: Two or more Location: Anywhere Post Requirements: 5 post per person, 200 words per post Reward: +1 Renown Description: Charon has been plagued with counterfeit potions over the past few months, the Golden Consortium doing its best to put a stop to the production of these fake elixars. However, as one operation is put to an end, three more pop up, making it a gamble to buy potions from any source at this point. You have found yourself the victim of one of these fake potions, thinking it to be a potion or drink of some other kind. Unfortunately, its a fake, made somewhere in a back alley by scoundrels. Instead of the potion having its intended affect, it has instead shrunk you and anyone you shared the drink with, making you the size of an ant. The effects of this potion will only last for four post, making you normal size after its duration, however, you will have to survive in a massive world filled with giant bugs and plants all prepared to kill you. The task is simple, don't die.

It was a lucky day for a certain triton surfer assassin as he walked through the various tents. Vonoros had a mission today, a very special mission that combined his two most favorite things in the entire world, assassination and relaxation. He was ordered to stake out this year’s Lunar Butterfly celebration and assassinate a very dangerous and powerful former assassin an elderly gnome fellow today but in his prime, he was known to take down whole cities with his trickery and sharp skill. Vonoros was particularly excited about this not because of the big payout he was promised if he completed it but because this was the perfect chance to just relax and nap.
He greedily walked by and sneakily took a handful of food and drink with him in his hands as he made his way to a busy area where families seemed to be having fun pitching their tents. He even spotted a large minotaur fellow helping some other guy, “Huh, seems like a nice guy, maybe I can rope him into killing the target, hahahaha”, he chuckled as he waved the silly thought off.
He found a nice viewing chair and sat down, eyes seemingly drowsy to others but in reality, he was laser focused scanning the area for any signs of an elderly-looking gnome fellow.

As night falls over the camp, the first signs of the illuminated butterflies start making their appearance. Ironically, the dark somehow makes the intimidating Minotaur somehow more approachable. Several onlookers press in around him as they watch the butterflies dance and swirl in the night sky.
Amid the push of the crowd, he notices a very tiny gnomish girl who is being bounced around the bustle of busy legs. She is a bit too small for the crowd to notice and he can tell she is starting to get frustrated. With a bit of a soft spot for kids, he gently picks up the little girl and sets her on top of his head so she can hold onto to his horns for stability. To her credit, she just rolls with being yanked out of the crowd by a stranger and settles in to her new front row seat. The girl finally gets a glimpse of the luminous butterflies and starts giggling excitedly as the beautiful colors swirl around her tiny head. As she calms down, a couple butterflies flutter gently down and land into the locks of her curly brown hair. The stay for only a few moments and quietly take off again leaving Shaa and the girl in the singleness of the moment. Rosette! What are you doing on that Minotaur? Get down here now! And then the moment was gone. Shaa returns the small gnome to some very flustered parents who promptly drag the little girl away by her tiny hand. He catches a smile and a wave as they disappear into the mulling crush of people.
The flurries of butterflies last about an hour. Soon the energy of the crowd starts turning inward to the tents where plates of food and drink are moving furiously but efficiently into waiting mouths. Shaa remembers he has his own invite and moves beck to the tent where an impressive display of various food and drink was laid out. Rygash sees him come in and waves him over to a large stool he has set out for him.
Over here Shaa my savior. See? I saved you a seat, like I said I would. We got some pretty cool stuff that came in. Some of this I am not even positive where it came from but it certainly smells promising right. It was official, Shaa and Rygash were going to be good friends. A man of food who kept his word. He was someone who sat well in Shaa’s idiom. Thanks man, looks fantastic. I appreciate the invite. Nothing to it. I have to go finish some things but you dig in and I’ll check in with you later. You can tell me what’s good so I can avoid the crappy stuff. The two laughed loudly and Rygash made his way back to some boxes that were still being unpacked. Despite the size of the crowd, Shaa didn’t recognize anyone else. Just some elves, humands, gnomes and various other people. Out of the corner of his eye, he spies a Triton looking at him and has started to make his way over.

Vonoros had fallen asleep and taken a nice hour or two nap as he lay in the comfortable wooden chair among the fresh air and open sky. He woke up stretching his arms and feeling quite refreshed. He stayed awake for the first ten minutes searching the area with his eyes before giving up and just knocking out.
“Crap, I overslept, I gotta quickly get this guy out of existence before I lose my chance for a big payout here”, he thinks as he sits up.
He hadn’t left his chair since the moment he’d laid down for a quick moment of shut-eye but the small humming and presence of cool lights against his face woke up right up. He struggled to shake himself away from his chair, alas he had made the biggest mistake an assassin could get too comfortable. As he was contemplating even finishing his assigned job or just giving up and going back to sleep he eyed the minotaur from earlier as he was chatting it up with another fellow.
He spots him making his way over here and thinks, “Woah, looks like this day couldn’t get any better for me can it. Hopefully that silly idea from earlier actually works out and I can get this guy to help me by doing my work for me”.
He waves over and motions towards the wooden chair next to him, “What’s up dude I saw you earlier and was digging your good vibes and energy. You have an awesome aura that just makes me want to be your friend dude”.
He holds out his hand, “Oh where are my manners, name’s Vonoros, Vonoros Jedath, a surfer guy looking for some chill vibes. What’s your name? What brings you here?”.

This was turning out to be a very strange festival. Due to Shaa’s size and Minotaur’s unfortunate, if not deserved, reputation for being violent, very few people just walked up to him being friendly. As a matter of fact, most people who walked up to a strange Minotaur either wanted to fight or sell him something. Now here was this guy talking about auras and, what did he say, surfing? Auras he knew because of his monk training but otherwise the man seemed to be going in circles. He could be drunk or trying to sell him something. Neither scenario was going to end well. On the other hand, he was 2/2 so far with strangers and everyone seemed to be in a really good mood. He wasn’t about to go wreck that or mess up the tent of his new friend so it was best to just roll with the banter but keep his eyes open for trouble. Why was there always trouble?
Ummm hey man. My name is Shaa. Your name is Vonoros was it? Why don’t you sit down, we can try some of this stuff? I bet we can find something good. Shaa motions for the Triton to take a nearby empty chair. If he was drunk, Shaa was going to keep him close so he didn’t have a chance to jack up the event. Maybe he would get lucky and he was just some random friendly guy?
So, a Triton hunh? I can’t say I’m surprised to see one of you guys here. I keep running into most of you down south in the crescent isles though. As a matter of fact, the last group of Tritons I ran into had a pet kraken try to eat me over some disagreement or another. You don’t happen to have a pet kraken do you? I might have to punch you in the face! Hahaha. Just kidding..mostly. Hahaha.
The two seemed to settle in when a strange cloaked man brought over a tray of brightly colored bottles. Without a word, he sets the tray down and walks away, disappearing into the crowd. Shaa thought it was a little odd but ignored his better judgement and kept chatting. … and then the goblin was all “ What are you doing? THATS MY MOTHER! Shaa kept laughing and having a good time. Eventually hunger got the better of him and the two starting busting into the food. It was all amazing, with some things Shaa had never tried before. Ohh that’s good. Looking back at the tray, he decides to be a bit adventurous. What do you say Vonoros? Wanna try one of these funky bottles? We will try the same one and see who punks out. Don’t let me down. Shaa grabs a couple of glasses and proceeds to start smelling the strange bottles. Ohhh I get it. These are potions. This one is ….minor healing. This one …cures hangovers…lhmmm might keep that one. This one…. lets you see in the dark…. He stops and sniffs the bottle a couple times. This one…I’m not sure. I think it lets you smell colors but it smells funny. Not bad just not quite something. Ok yeah this is the one. Shaa pours the purple liquid into the glasses and pushes one over to Vonoros. Fun party, mysterious liquid. Bottoms up!

“Nice to meet you Shaa bro, yeah we can go get some stuff he then sits down next to the other fellow, “Yep, I’m from Frost Gale originally down in the deep Luna Sea decided adventuring was the next course of action after being a pirate. Did you say pet Kraken? Never heard of someone owning a Kraken as a pet. I don’t gotta pet Kraken although I wish how’d you get out of that? I’ve had to take down a couple during my days, hell have you cooked Kraken Shaa? It’s super delicious, especially on a nice cold night on the high seas”.
The triton glanced over to the tray of potions that someone had randomly set aside, thinking, “Huh weird, I didn't hear about random potions were gonna be at this event”.
Vonoros kept yapping away with Shaa; he was enjoying himself speaking to the friendly minotaur; it was a warm welcome to what he expected to be a boring night filled with someone’s death and a quick getaway. His eyes quickly opened wide as he saw the food get brought out, he ravenously gobbled anything that was around him finishing off with a large cooked owlbear leg he ripped apart.
He sits back and says, “Ugh I’m stuffed they weren't kidding about the food here”, he then glances over at the potions as Shaa taunts him to try them.
He grins, “Yeah, dude I love potions. I once had one that made me a huge giant and another one that made me float for like ten minutes.
He excitedly grabs his cup and downs it in an instant smashing his glass down and shouting, “FUCK YEAH”, before suddenly holding his stomach, “Oh no dude I don’t feel too good", and suddenly limb by limb his body shrinks into the size of a rat, he wildly looks around confused as he struggles to see anything from the suddenly tall grass and far away chair he was once sitting at.
He glances at Shaa and says, “Dude I think we just drank some shrink potion what do we do now?".

Shaa looks around at their diminutive sizes and starts laughing hysterically. Ohhhh whoops. Guess we picked the wrong bottle. No worries though. These things only usually last a couple hours…usually. We just need to stay alive till they ware off. Shaa hops up and down a bit, bemused. He actually had a coat that allowed him to shrink to this size so he was unbothered by the turn of events. My step dad used to say. “There are no problems, just opportunities for those willing to take them. He was also part horse so take that for what it’s worth. Shaa looks around, climbs up to the table and claps. See what did I tell you. When was the last time that you ate a cake bigger thank you are. Tomorrow, you will say “ yesterday”
Shaa started to dig into the gigantic food. They were too small for anyone to notice and having a fantastic time. Man this party keeps getting better and better. Shaa takes a gigantic dab of whipped cream and smashes it on his face giving him a fake white beard. Look at me, I’m super old. Hahaha. Licking the cream off his face, he gets an idea.
Ok well I am stuffed and we are still super tiny. Only thing left to do is start messing with people. All in good fun of course. Let’s make a game out of it. Who can do the best tiny shenanigans. I’ll go first.
Shaa hops down to the stool and then again back to the floor below. Looking around, several feet belonging to party guests are tapping away. He runs over to a pair of feet towards the end, unties their laces and ties them back again. He holds up a finger to Vonoros to tell him to wait a moment. Shaa then breathes a tiny flame into the party goers shoe. It takes a moment to register, but the man jumps up with an OWTCH! However, when he tries to move , his feet get tangled up in the tied laces and falls head first into his wife who was sitting next to him. Harold! What in Solaris name! It wasn’t my fault, my feet were on fire!
Shaa laughs and raises his arms triumphantly. Beat that guppy man!

Vonoros holds his head feeling a little woozy from the sudden shrinkage, “Damn bruh my head feels weird wait woah”, he says as he looks around, “Damn you know what this is kinda cool, everything looks so big from here. You know I’m not as tall as certainly someone like you but I usually tower over other people I meet. I always wonder what it was like, living on the lower side of the height spectrum but I’d never thought it’d be like this'', he chuckles.
He then responds to Shaa’s words of calm and agrees, “Yeah you’re right it shouldn't take too long, potions in my experience are only as effective as their alchemist so let’s hope whoever made this sucks. Wait..your stepdad was half-horse? Was he a centaur or?”, he then climbs behind Shaa up to the table and wonders over the food, eyes wide.
If you could say anything about the triton, it was that he was a supreme glutton, his flaw only rivaled by his laziness.
“You’re right man, I can say with pride now at least I’m gonna eat stuff triple my size”, he digs into the food straight away diving into a plate of boiled eggs and eating them up as he swims through them.
He looks over at Shaa and laughs, “Ahahahaha”, and then thinks about Shaa’s offer, “You know what that sounds awesome, what better way to work off all of this food we devoured than to mess with people”.
He then looks on as Shaa lights someone's foot on fire and laughs almost falling off the table holding his stomach and then yells down, “Alright muscle for brains my turn”, he then shifts his attention towards the people walking around.
He takes out his quarterstaff and runs forward vaulting himself off the table and onto one of the people’s backs. He lands on a halfling fellow and he starts crawling around their body pinching them. The halfling he’s on screams, “VANER HELP I GOT FIRE ANTS ON ME AGAIN AND THEIR BITING HELP”, the man then drops to the floor and pathetically rolls around trying to get the supposed fire ants off of himself.
Vonoros jumps down in time to escape getting crushed and yells over to Shaa as he walks towards him, “You turn horn dude”, and waits for the other man to top his performance.

Shaa watches as the tiny games continue. Watching Vonoros pinch people and assume they are being attacked by bugs gives Shaa the hiccups from laughter. The funniest thing to Shaa was that, even if someone saw them, no one would believe a story about a tiny Minotaur and Triton playing practical jokes on them. It was too good.
Yeah, I was sold as a fighting slave as a kid but eventually adopted by a bunch of Centaurs. Long story. But I’d rather not kill the mood with that. Let’s see what else we got?
The tiny fighters scans the crowded tent looking for something interesting. Off in the corner, he sees that the band has taken a break and has left their instruments on the floor. If all of Shaa’s many talents, music was never one of them. But he didn’t think that would matter all that much in this case.
Running across the floor, Shaa has to dodge several pair of wobbly feet to make sure he doesn’t get stepped on. Several of the party goers are wearing dresses so he tries to keep his eyes down as much as possible to respect their privacy. It’s all fun and games till you get stepped on by an angry elf in a mini skirt.
With a few close calls behind him, he hides behind one of the larger drums. He looks over at the musicians ans several of them are still drinking and eating. Weren’t these guys being paid to play? Feeling a bit indignant for his new friend Rygash, Shaa settles into his next victim’s. Running from behind the drum, he spies a lute and hops in the hole.
Over with musicians, who are enjoying the party
Oh man, what a fantastic gig! Caulder says to one of his band mates. Caulder, a struggling musician, had been trying for months to get a gig for his band. His uncle, who was friends with Rygash, set up this job to help encourage his nephew ( and get him off of the couch) No doubt, your uncle sure knows some amazing people. Says Jeff the drummer. Best part about it is, all of the free food. I know right? Not to mention all the pretty llllaaaafddiiieeesss. Caulder was not exactly great with the ladies. He had originally started the band in an effort to look cool with little effect. Jeff looks around concerned. Ummm this is fun and all, but we should probably get back to playing. Nahhh it’s fine Caulder says with a bit of a slur. My uncle knows this guy, he’s cool.
From the side, they hear an awful noise. Several heads turn to see that one of the instruments, the lyre, is playing by itself. What in the….
Meanwhile, back with Shaa
Shaa sits down and finds the the lyre is actually quite comfortable from the inside. It was something he never woukd have guessed from just looking. He stands up an gently touches the strings. Pluck, pluck. Yup, this would work. Cracking his knuckles a bit, he starts “playing” as fast and as hard as he can, at one point, he accidentally breaks a string. He can now start hearing screams from the outside about haunted instruments. He punches a big hole in the back of the lyre to escape with anyone seeing him. As he runs behind the instruments, he knocks into drums and bells and anything else that will make noise. Several people bolt out of the tent as Shaa circles around back to the table.

After walking over to the minotaur and hearing Shaa mention his unfortunate backstory he couldn’t help but nod. He knew the pain of having some childhood baggage and completely agreed, they were both here to just have fun and mess with all the festival people. Not to drag the vibes down by being sad about their histories.
Vonoros was scanning the area in search of something else to bring the stakes up of their little prank battle. He settled his eye on this older elf man who had just come onto shore after a swim heading over to get some food. Oh, the misery he was about to unleash on him once it was his turn. He was about to head over and begin his mischievous machinations but he saw the shadow that stood next to him disappear in a flash. He stood there watching, curious about what the other man was planning to do. He turns his head and ponders out loud, “What’s he doing? Musicians? Instruments? Just what is going on in that mastermind of his brain?”.
Vonoros then proceeds to watch the mayhem occur from a distance and can’t help but fall over with laughter holding his chest, “AHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU GOT THEM GOOD DUDE”.
After laughing for a couple of minutes straight from how funny it was the triton was determined to top the other man’s prank.
He quickly scans the area for the dark elf man again spotting him standing and walking over to the cold drink stall he has a mad grin on his face. He sprints forward as fast as he can as the man stands around drinking his beverage and once he gets right next to his feet he holds his hand out charging cold magic into his right hand instead of chucking it or stabbing something he goes in front of the man and places down the ice spear in front of his foot about the size of a pencil to the regular sized man. He screams at the top of his small lungs getting the attention of the man who steps forward falling for the triton’s trap. He slips on the small piece of ice and falls, spillin' his butt his cold grape drink all over himself.

Shaa watches the Triton at his mischievous work and bursts out laughing at the ensuing chaos. Everyone so far seemed fairlyuninjured, if not a bit embarrassed, so he had little guilt over what they were doing. Food, music, screaming, drinking, the occasional fight. This was turning into Shaa’s kind of party. As he considered his next move, he catches some movement with them at floor level. Off to the side, one of the fallen cupcakes was moving by itself. Curious, Shaa walks closer to investigate the oddity.
As he gets closer to wobbling cupcake, he can hear a scratching noise accompanying the wobbling. Then, from atop the cupcake, two furry ears appear. Shaa stops in his tracks and watches as the ears emerge from behind the pastry attached to the large furry head of a wood rat. Shaa had crashed his fair share of parties but this one definitely wasn’t invited. As the rat came around, it stared at Shaa with red eyes and hissed a low hiss, spraying saliva on the floor. Don’t mind me bro, you can have the cupcake.
The giant rat leaps at him with claws extended, his yellowed teeth gnashing viscously. Despite his size being smaller, none of his fighters instincts had diminished. As the rat leaps at him, Shaa rolls off to the side. He can feel one of the rats claws scrape him and he knows he just escaped by the skin of his teeth. With the rat still off balance, he takes off across the floor to try and out maneuver the swarthy beast. He can hear the pattering of its claws behind him as he runs and he can feel it close behind.
Shaa slaps his hands together and tiny rocks coat his arms and legs. Turning sharply, the rat lashes out at him again. Shaa holds his arm out and the stones take the brunt of the rats slash, turning the rat a bit. This gives him a chance to kick the massive rodent clean in the face. The coated feet add earth damage to the kick, knocking it backwards on its hind quarters. The Minotaur turns and runs again, climbing up a chair and back up on the table. Full of silverware, food, potions and various other items, he knows he only has a minute to prepare to fight the very pissed beast right behind him.

Vonoros quickly jumped out to the side to avoid the dark elf gentleman from crushing him with his legs as he struggled to regain his balance.
He couldn’t help but have a proud grin of mischief on his face, “I sire hope Shaa saw that wherever he is, because damn I got that guy good”, the triton thought as he looked around curious where the other man was.
“Surely, he’s around here somewhere. How hard is it to look for another man who is similar in size to me? Hell even with us both being small he still towers over the tall grass around here”, the triton mutters out loud walking around looking for the minotaur.
Suddenly as he turned his head to look for him on a table of a family’s food, he heard a loud hissing and angry rat fighting with something. A raccoon? A pigeon? Bug?”, he questioned himself as he tapped his feet (1) and jumped up a nearby picnic bench.
He slowly brought himself and saw a horrifying sight, a fully grown rat ready and willing to attack and eat the fellows. Vonoors quickly reaches into his backswing and pulls out his quarterstaff ready to throw down as he swings the long weapon at the rat.

This little party trick had been a lot of fun so far but now things were getting dicey. That wood rat had a serious bug up it’s butt and Shaa needed to deal with it. He was honestly a bit surprised that no one at the party had noticed what was happening with a giant rat running around. It made him wonder what other tiny dramas he missed just walking around every day.
Checking the wooden table, Shaa finds a used tooth pick and opts to take it for an impromptu javelin. He considered taking the silverware but decided he wouldn’t be fast enough with it to be effective. Speed was the only thing keeping him alive att the moment and he didn’t want to lose it. Finding a bowl of soft rolls, he picks a spot behind it and ducks down. He figures the rat will probably be able to sniff him out but between all of the food, he hoped it might lose interest soon enough, Shaa can hear some things shifting across the table and the sound of a loud sniffing noise.
He waits patiently as the rat makes the rounds. From the sound of it, the rat has stopped somewhere. Perhaps it found another more interesting pastry. Shaa slinks from behind the bread bowl to try and get a better look. Moving slowly and carefully, he peers past the bowl. There is no sign of the rat anywhere. Where did you go you fuzzy bastard?
He continues to creep around the table, listening for any sign of the beast. He knew it was there somewhere, but where could it be? The rat probably had a lot more experience than Shaa at being sneaky and unseen and it was getting annoying. It was high stakes hide and seek. Then, he could feel it, above him. Looking up, Shaa can see the rats whiskers wiggling above him. It had crawled up the rolls!
Shaa quickly grabs the bowl and dumps the contents across the table. The buttery rolls spill and go tumbling across the table along with the still pissy rat. The rat turns and hisses again. Shaa brandishes his mostly pathetic tooth pick in front of him, keeping the rat temporarily at bay. Suddenly, Vonoros is there, slamming into the rats side with his tiny quarter staff.

Vonoros laughs hard as his quarterstaff makes an impact with one of the rat’s big toes, making the beast let out a loud blood-curdling shriek.
He glances at Shaa with a confused look and asks, “What the hell did you do to make this woodrat dude so mad Shaa-bro?”.
He was pretty excited about this battle no matter how strange it was considering that the two miniature adventurers were currently in a perilous battle fighting a rat.
The rat hisses in pain and swipes its claw in retaliation against the triton man’s chest causing him to get knocked back to the ground. He quickly gets up holding his slightly bleeding chest from scratch and says, “I respect you rat bro, your spirit and all taking advantage of everyone’s fun for your own sake but you’re being a big furry bummer right now”
The triton curiously raises his quarterstaff again and reaches to his sling to pull out his coral lance now holding with polearms in his hands ready to beat up this vibe-killing rodent. He swings both into the beast’s chest already hearing the beast scream out in pain and he yells out, “Shaa let’s beat this thing down”.

Don’t look at me, he started it. The rat, though faced with two opponents, was still undeterred. The feral beast hissed again and started hopping back and forth in a attempt to keep them off balance. Shaa gained a lot of empathy for the prey of this tiny world where rats wrere predators but also sometimes prey. They were smart when they needed to be, hid when they could. They were survivors and this thing was no exception. It could of run away in the face of two opponents but it didn’t, it stayed to fight. That meant, it thought it had at least a decent chance of winning. They needed to change its perception.
I already kicked you in the face buddy. I would run if I were you. The rat looked at Shaa and wiggled it’s whiskers as if it were considering what he was saying. Or perhaps considering how it was going to gut him alive. He didn’t speak rat so any guess was as good as another. The rat jumps to the side and whips it’s tail at the tiny fighter. Shaa dodges but still catches a stinging strike to the shoulder. Ow! Man this thing is quick. Breathing deeply, Shaa breathes a cone of fire in the rats face, scorching it’s face. The rat squealed and backs up, overhung a salad bowl on the table. It’s enough to get some of the other party goers attention.
Aggg there’s a rat on the table! As someone who throws parties, the bpvertpy last thing you want to hear is that rodents have gotten into the food. Rygash appears out of nowhere, club in hand. Not having the best eyesight, Rygash spies three “creatures” on the table. Not to worry folks. Just one of the hazards of having a party out in nature. Sometimes nature shows up and wants potato salad. Some of the crowd laughs but Rygash is in no laughing mood. Moving some food and potions out of the way for a clear shot, he slams the club down amidst all three of them. The entire table does a bit of a bounce as most things off kilter. Shaa is fortunate that his Elementalism makes it virtually impossible for him to be knocked down but that didn’t mean the club didn’t seriously concern him.
Rygash buddy, it’s me! To Rygash, the tiny pleas came out as squeee squeee skeee! Which didn’t sound much different from most other tiny woodland creatures. Dang it, we are too small. Fish guy, beat feet! Shaa takes off for the edge of the table and hops off again before the club can come down on their heads. As he hits the floor, his legs start to wobble. Did he miscalculate the jump and hurt himself? What timing. No, that wasn’t it. The world was shifting again, he was growing.
