	A party from the [[Magistery]] including myself, [[Dereth]], [[Zanna]], [[Cassio]] and [[Ember]] was finally able to return to the site of the Kobold Lair we had identified so many months ago. We expected a dangerous descent into the troll-infested ruins of ~~old-solace~~... what we found was much stranger indeed. Firstly we were almost frustrated at the outset. The entrance that we knew led to the lair has been seemingly sealed by rust and possible disuse. We were finally able to force it open, and found immediately that the passage we hoped to take had been collapsed some time ago. However we found an entrance to a cave that had not been there when [[Zanna]] last visited. This cave proved to be deeper than Old-Solace, and not a part of the ruins at all. It appeared to be natural, but had some very unnatural features. There were fully cut gemstones "growing" from the walls. As we ventured deeper into the cave we discovered one of its inhabitants... a Troll. This Troll also had gemstones growing out it's body. Indeed as we talked with it, a few gems "matured" and dropped off its body onto the floor. Oh yes, it spoke! Whatever transformation had overcome this creature, also seemed to have imparted some basic intelligence. We learned this troll was not alone, that is had other trolls like it in the cave below, and they were all keeping a Red Dragon they had named [[Garnet]] as a pet. They also were apparently waiting for someone named "Morty" to come back and "teach" them more. This Morty seems responsible for at least the trolls ability to speak, if not their other changes as well. Friend [[Cassio]], ever confident in his own abilities, offered to teach the Trolls himself! He suggested since they had learned one language perhaps they would like to learn another? Dwarvish perhaps? This made the trolls very uncomfortable, indeed uncomfortable to the point of no longer speaking to us. Apparently they have no love of dwarves. Things really went down hill when Cassio admitted to not being sent by Morty all, but instead wanting to "protect" their dragon pet by taking it away...

We determined in this case that, as the Book of the Mountain shares "discretion is the heart of valor" we would attempt to secure the dragon and return to the Magistery. [[Ember]] quickly formed a bonbd with the beast, and she did so we noticed that it was missing it's scales. It seems that someone seeking the indredients for the Chaos Curse had already been here. We also noticed that this dragon also had the strange gebs grouwing out of its body. The Dragon now tame to Ember's hand, we made our back to the MAgistery and to Paragon Dooley's desk. He semed very distraught at the presence of the dragon, and ordered it away at once. He seemed genuinly interested in our tale, however, and found all the strange things in the cave to be "curious indeed."

			Paragon Dooley truly has a gift for understatement.
