Trey seemed to be running out of magic, and Dorisma seemed to be taunting the thing, but, more importantly, Deravan found a way to finally end the thing's life with just one decisive stab right to the thing's heart... he then instantly got to work trying to skin the thing, but he only really managed to get his dagger stuck in its thick fur. The drake then tried to explain that he was Miles, as in, Miles wasn't eaten, but somehow changed into a drake, instead. Normally, I wouldn't believe him, as drakes don't typically get along too well with kobolds, however, the fact that he didn't try to kill me while I was weak, or even try to finish off Backstabs was enough proof that this drake, Miles or no, was at least somewhat trustworthy. He also seemed to be annoyed about the ninja, which implies that it was some sort of transformation potion mishap that had Miles change shape, and considering just how stable the 'random' variety of them were... well... yeah... I believed him on that. Heck, I heard a rumor that one goblin got changed into a bug for a while, and when he finally returned to normal... he still had an exoskeleton. He didn't live for too long after that, apparently there wasn't enough air, or whatever for him to breathe properly as some sort of weird bug-goblin hybrid, or maybe his lungs just didn't work when he changed back, which, again, goes back to just how unstable those things are. Honestly, only the worst of the worst kobold alchemists make those potions, and they even usually sell them on the street as if they were black market goods. My train of thought was cut off by the mayor noticing our condition and saying "You heroes look a little ragged. We can set up camp here, if you'd like... I'm sure now that our villagers are sober, they can actually be talked into helping for once..." he then started giving orders, and various monsters started putting up tents in the big room where the treasure used to be... I made my way over there, and, thankfully an ogre picked up Backstabs, sparing me the trouble of doing so when I was as exhausted as I was right now. They set up a bunch of guards once everyone was in, and thankfully, there wasn't too much noise or even booze this time, and, while everyone suggested that I take a longer rest, that they had Backstabs' condition under control, I rested just long enough to replenish just enough magical energy to cast a healing spell. I then tried to sneak my way over to the tent with a 'HOSPITAL' sign over it, managing to not get caught by any guards, and, once I was inside, I used a healing spell on her, which seemed quite effective, even if I didn't actually cast a particularly good one... I then headed back to my tent to continue my rest, as if nothing ever happened... of course, I still kind of felt horrible from the fight, but, I could already tell that I was beginning to recover. Oddly, I could hear some of the villagers telling some sort of sad tale about how his family was torn apart, and how he was the last of his kind or something... of course, that story only managed to get a few of them laughing, and one other participant to point out that there was another 'brown goblin' in this exact group, not even five feet away from the story teller.
