What's your favorite color dragon? Dead.


An excerpt from the tales of Joda the Monk.

Know O traveller that after the Rhemorazs were killed, Joda and her companions did valiantly try to open the arcane gate of Giants. They succeeded after some mishaps that resulted in deafness and pain. But, once across the threshold, they entered a brobdingnagian chamber. Many giant statues, each holding a lit lamp, surrounded an arcane circle, and within it, lay the body of a giant.

Reader, know that Joda, in her service to the goddess Tymora, entered the circle. The giant's ghost awakened. A friendly sort of shade, he talked about how this was the chamber of the oracle, and how his father betrayed him to the Blue Dragon, and how they were in search for a mythical weapon.

Joda wept at the evil sacrifice that a father would perform on his son! The ghost wanted Vengeance, as would we all if betrayed by our fathers! And Joda swore that all in her power would be done to bring justice to the ghost!

Fear not reader, for her companions did not forget about the oracle, and spoke with her. From her, they determined that the Blue Dragon held the key, where the King of Giants could be found, and more. As each question was answered, another lamp extinguished. Time was running out and the gate was closing. It was time to leave.

Upon the companion's return to the mortal world, (remember reader, that they were in a Giant's fortress high in the Sword Mountains), the earth started to shake and tremble. Something large was entering the fortress. A Blue Dragon. an elder, massive and dangerous, entered. It seemed that Joda, and her companions' adventures would end soon. But, Lady Tymora rewards those who risk all, and so it was that Harshnag stepped forward and battled the Blue Dragon, yelling at all to run. And so they did and escape the fortress, alive, and mostly hale.

And in the sky there came a floating ship flying the flag of a Red Dragon! The crew approached the companions and offered them the use of the ship. "We are at your service" they crowed "at the behest of our lord the Red Dragon!".

Red Dragons are evil, of course, but Joda knew, that sometimes, the best way to battle evil was with evil. And so, the companions boarded the air ship and ....

Thus ends the fragment found from the codex titled The Tales of Joda the Monk.
