Ukobach V Level 3 Elf Ranger

I decided it would be safer to stay away from these humanoids until they found a way to leave the shell. If they took my hoard so be it. I was not going anywhere for a long while. I could build it up again. I carefully closed the fighting fan. This I would keep close; as a remembrance of the last person I would ever speak to. I looked carefully around the vault to make sure no others were in the area. Then I made my way quickly to the head. I was nearly there when a call came from my left “You there.”

I turned and saw an elf. Elves live long lives. We could be friends here for centuries. “Hello.” I called joyfully waving the closed fan at him.

He scowled. “Where did you get that fan?”

“From a halfling I recently had a conversation with.” I answered.

“That is Sumaks fan.” The elf said angrily pulling a bladed weapon similar to a scimitar from a sheath on his back. He menaced me with the blade. “Where did you get it?”

“From a halfling I recently had a conversation with.” I repeated imploringly.

“Lying evil outsider.” He growled and sliced me in two with his blade. As the blue sky turned a dark, molten red I knew I was finally going home.

Ukobach V Halfling

Ukobach V Halfling Ships Guardian

Perhaps the turtles head was not the best idea. The tail end still has a bit of hangover from the tiles from the summoners bathroom. I can try to hide down there. How many humanoids would want to investigate the area around a colossal turtles’ hindquarters?

I quickly made my way around the vault and nearly ran right into a halfling. “How did you get here?” He demanded.

“I was summoned here a long time ago by a human that is long dead. I cannot teleport home. I cannot fly. I cannot swim across the ocean. I am trapped here.” I said feeling relieved to finally voice my predicament.

“You killed our ships cook?” The halfling asked fiddling with his waterskin.

“He attacked me first.” I nearly whined.

“I saw you fighting the dwarf sorcerer.” He said pouring some powder into the open waterskin and swirling it.

“What is that floating stone thing?”

“His familiar.” The halfling said and splashed me with water from his waterskin.

I sputtered then screamed as the water burned me. “How?” I howled at him.

“Holy water.” He answered and splashed it at me again. I dodged to the side and clawed at the stubble on his chin.

He pulled a fan from behind his back and opened it with a flourish. I laughed and he tried to slice me with the edge of it. I saw the small metal blades sticking up where the ribs of the fan poked through the silk.

“That’s not nice.” I scolded and sliced at his face with my claws again.

The halfling again tried to slice me with his fan. I dodged to the side and he did as well when I tried to claw him. Then he sliced my exposed upper left arm with the fan blades.

“Why is it so unreasonable?” I asked missing with my claws.

“What?” The halfling asked slicing me again.

“Having a conversation.” I stated honestly. The halfling must have been surprised because he didn’t dodge my claw. The halfling fell and gurgled as blood came from the side of his throat. He looked like he was trying to say something. I leaned in close but only heard the sigh of his last breath.

Taking the fighting fan and cradling it in my hands I looked around me.

Ukobach V Dwarf with Ioun Wyrd

After I finished digging up the glass blob I retrieved the two daggers. One was masterwork and the other basic. Before I left for the head I stopped to check that the frog was dead. It didn’t need any more armor, enough washed up on shore occasionally and besides had done some good damage to this set. Next time I faced someone my size perhaps I would only attack the face not the body. I could come back later after he decomposes some and take it and repair the leather somehow when I get bored. I took his masterwork rapier and his belt which had its sheath. The sheaths for the daggers were on his wrists and I took those too. Also on his belt were two waterskins, two more daggers in sheaths, and a pouch containing a thunderstone, two alkali flasks, and a liquid blade if the tag on its neck was to be believed.

Not a bad amount of swag. The issue was, the encumbrance of it all, with the spade and glob of glass, made me want to go back to the vault. Plus, someone could recognize the rapier. If I hide it then perhaps they might not know I killed their companions. It is not like I need weapons anyway. I thought as I headed back to the center of the shell.

I made a beeline for the vault but as I approached I saw a dwarven male coming up the path I had originally taken to the beach. He saw me and threw a spell. Acid splashed upon my skin. “I am a devil moron. Acid will not bother me especially when it is that weak.”

“I have more than just acid but thank you for the helpful hint.” He said stalking towards me. I met him halfway but with all the things I was carrying he got his hands on me before I could attack him. The electricity shot through me and caused me to drop everything I was carrying. The glob of glass broke nearly in half and smaller shards skittered. I clawed him at the top of his beard, setting it aflame.

He tried to touch me again but I dodged. I hit him on the side of the head, singing his sideburn. He tried again to touch me but I dodged. My hoof skidded on a piece of glass and I missed with my claws. Trying to regain my balance I could not dodge his shocking grasp this time. I got my footing and clawed him savagely across the chest. I was getting enraged and I knew it and I didn’t care when I saw the red blood and no armor below his shirt.

Instead of dodging his next touch I accepted it to get a vital strike in. I screamed from the pain as the electricity coursed through me but my claws still eviscerated the dwarf.

I took his belt too and looked in the pouches. One was a potion labeled cure light wounds. I drank it quickly. I was immune to poison. I felt the tingling of the electricity ebb. There was a scroll that looked to make flaming sphere, a spell I was very familiar with. In another pouch were two more alkali flasks to add to my hoard. In a third was three alchemist fires. In a spell component pouch were a bunch of low value uncut gemstones along with a feather and a scrap of leather. Plus, three more waterskins.

I picked up the rest of my fallen swag and continued to the vault. An odd flying ball of stones flew after me. When I opened the vault door it flew over to my small pile of gemstones. It hovered over the pale lavender ellipsoid stone. Then the stone rose up and incorporated itself into the ball. I threw the swag into the vault and as I slammed it shut I heard the glass shatter again.

Ukobach V Grippli

I took the staff back up the zaratans’ shell to my home sweet hoard. It was a simple structure made from the ruins of the stronghold of the spellcaster that had trapped me here. Originally the stronghold had taken up almost the entire shell but I burnt down all the wooden walls in my frustration. Now all that remains of the house is a metal vault that had been secreted behind a false wooden wall in a closet. It is a ten-foot-by-ten-foot-by-ten-foot iron cube with a heavy iron door. The door was locked with a combination lock that took me a year of entering combinations before I got it to open with 14-05-28. When the damn turtle submerged I spent the decade breathing from a bottle of air I had found among the spellcasters treasures within.

I opened the vault and placed the staff inside. I couldn’t make magic items, like many of my kin, but perhaps if I ever returned to Hell I could bring them with me to show off. I could make alchemical items at least and due to lightning striking the sand on the edge of the turtles shell I sometimes got globs of glass. I pulled the odd shovel that had washed ashore some years ago from its corner. I had to be careful and make sure when I dug not to put any pressure on the sharp crescent blade on the top of the handle of the shovel. 

I decided to head to the opposite side of the shell from the cooks’ body. If any of his shipmates washed ashell too I did not want them to see me and realize I had killed him. I wanted someone to talk to not relentless battles. I got to the edge of the shell, where the sand settled outside the walls of the previous stronghold. The charred wood was washed away when the turtle took its fearful swim but the sand had yet to cross the boundary.  I got bored long ago trying to find out why.

I did not find anything right away so I headed towards the beasts’ head. Around the first corner of the former stronghold I saw the clear swirl of lightning glass. I began digging when a dagger flew by my head. I turned to see a humanoid frog, no taller than myself, standing at the next corner ten feet away with another dagger.

“If you wanted my attention you could have just said hello.” I said testily.

“You killed Cookie.” The frog accused in a deep bass voice. Then he threw that dagger at me too. I side stepped it then rushed him.

“I did, like this.” I said clawing at the amphibian. My claws left slashes in his cotton shirt but I had not been expecting the leather armor underneath.

He pulled a rapier from behind him and stuck me with it. I raked my claws harder this time, slashing through the leather. “I just want someone to talk to.” I screamed in his face.

He flinched as he tried to poke me again with his blade. I took a deep breath hoping he would relent. Instead he slashed at me with the rapier and I dodged. Angrily I raked him again with my claws. The frog-man poked me again. I clawed it across the face and neck and it fell to the sand convulsing.

I turned and while I finished digging up the glass I had a thought. Perhaps I should hide on the turtles’ head for a bit. I would not get any conversation, the thing was most likely asleep as usual, but the shell was not that big and if any more of the cooks shipmates decided to hunt down whatever killed him I might be in trouble.

Ukobach V the Human Cook

There had been a major storm during the night and through to the next afternoon. Lightning struck all around on the shell. I am happy the Zaratan didn’t submerge again.

Storms do have the benefit of washing ashore interesting items. As the sun set I saw a small fire on the beach and decided to go and investigate. The fire was a small cooking fire. The human sitting beside it had set up two tripods of wood far enough on either side to not be burned. The blond had a staff resting upon them skewering three fish cooking over the flames.

From the shadows I studied the flames and the staff more than the man. The flames did not reach the staff and the fish were not cooking in the center. That didn’t make the fact that the staff he was using as a cooking skewer being definitely masterworks and possibly magical any easier to bear.

I stood and strode towards him. His rounded ears showing him to be fully human. He was bigger than me, taller by a few inches while sitting cross legged as he was, and much wider at the shoulders. The man saw me and struggled to his feet. He pulled the staff off the tripods as he rose, pulling one into the fire and nearly putting the staff in the flames as well. “Get back demon.” He bellowed, swinging the staff and the fish slid forward towards the end near me.

“Actually, I am a devil.” I corrected him with a smile. It had been so long since I had seen another awake, intelligent being.

“I don’t care. Get Away.” He said trying to menace me with the staff.

“Is that a magic staff?”

The man paused then said with false confidence “Yes.”

“You honestly have no idea do you?” I asked scornfully.

“Do you really want to find out?” He threatened.

“Oh yes.” I answered and reached forward to take the staff. He hit me with it. I pushed the staff to the side and dashed forward, clawing the cooks’ chest. He fell and stopped moving. I picked up the staff and pulling off the fish walked back to my rock outcropping.

Notes from the battle:

Cook hit Ukobach (1d6) 4 damage HP 51

Ukobach claws do 1d4-1 and 1d4 for 3 damage from 2 HP so -1
