The fight with Askur is coming to its inevitable end! Who shall end up the victors? This NPC dwarf we've only known for 3 episodes? Or our galant "heroes" we've been following for years? Find out next week, on Drunks and Dragons!

Story[]

Askur and the party are introduced. They offer to give mercy, if he helps them take down Longcryer. He refuses and attacks by attempting to charm Harper. The dramatic quest to destroy Longcryer climaxes as Harper gets charmed and Lightning blasts Jett and Jaela, so Jett turns Harper into a baby hippo, that Jett jumps on top of in the form of a monkey wearing a cowboy hat. It is at this time that Harper snaps out of it, and is surprised to find that he is still a baby hippo. Jett decides to return Harper to Harper form, and Aludra ends the fight by using Wind Wall to knock him unconscious. Harper appears to check his pulse, but secretly delivers a small shock, killing him.

They head out and continue investigating. They contemplate resting, and decide to take a short rest. They hide in an empty room, which appears to be Feslan's room. It seems to be recently lived in. They also find a red lacquer box, Camille's jewelry box! When Harper touches it, he once again gets a glossy look in his eyes, and he speaks in Camille's voice:

"Before you take the antidote, there is something you need to know.

Your powers will be gone

If the dwarf Askur still lives--"

Inside the box are two syringes. They interpret that Askur needs to be dead, and just to make extra double sure, they go back and remove his head. Them back in the the room, they deliberate on which syringe, if any, he should take. Despite the fact that the first of Camille's messages said that Longcryer's trap would instantly kill him, they decide not to take either syringe, but give one to Jaela and the other to Aludra until things start to "go poorly". We'll see how this goes.
