Journal Entry - No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

We are in so much trouble. Searching for dragon-shards in this dead city, after calling it a day and leaving against my better judgment I went to see what was happening in a courtyard when I heard a voice. It was a female Dragonborn. When I reported back Sedriss agreed to approach her to see what was happening as she sounded in distress. Her name is Bajra and is looking for her partner (Name I forget), that had come there looking for dragon-shards. When she heard a sound and cry for help, she ran towards it and it ended up being several Gorgon. Though we took care of them, Bajra ended up getting petrified in the process. We did find a chest of dragon-shards and we were going to grab Bajra leave the city and tend to her when we had move visitors. A Marlilth, Death Tyrant, Tsucora Quori, and a Hashalaq Quori showed up asking for to come with them as they will deliver us to, “The Lady”. This offer didn’t sit well with the group. Personally, I think we should have taken the offer because I don’t see us surviving a fight with them. Maybe we can put them in a bubble and run but if not, I think not days but my hours are numbered along with my friends. Maybe I will find out if I have any real value to Mab because a dead Vellios can’t repay any debts.

Our day started out routinely.  We found the ancient city and started exploring.  We found a dragonborn woman looking for her friend and were attacked by a group (herd) of gorgons with a stone golem thrown in just for fun.  after beating them but loosing the woman to petrification we find a chest of dragonshards. Before we can scoop up the treasure, we are confronted by a Marilith, two Quori and a Death Tyrant.  We're boned. I think we should go with them and see this "Lady" and play for time.  Alternatively, we can run away.  A fight against any one of these would be very difficult, all four will be almost impossible unless someone else has something big up his or her sleeve. 

We are in for a world of hurt. We managed to find a woman who was looking for her lost partner. Unfortunately we ran into several stone monsters which ended up petrifying her. After killing them, we have found ourselves against a death tyrant two query and a marilith, not something I am itching to fight in our condition. Maybe we can beat them, but surrender might be the best choice.
