In composing a Not-Snog report detailing the adventures, and misadventures, of those brave souls chasing the hope of dragon eggs I was faced with several unique problems. Should I emphasize the bonds between the questors, during their noble adventures? Should I talk merely of battles, or on the characters interaction with the world around them? Should I emphasize their differences or their similarities? When writing this report only one thing stood out clearly to me� That Jacco Namori is one handsome bastard.

All joking aside I've done my best to tell the story of those adventurers that still remain. Here�s hoping that they are all successful in their quest.

After finding the quest stalled temporarily at Kel as their ships docked for repair after the attack by slavers, the man quickly hooked up with another Smith� a man by the name of Lastram� and there was much �smithing� done, with talk of rare and magical metals, as well as siege machines and the finest armours.

Private talks began when Captain Joley visited on business, delivering a list of metal items the ships would need on their upcoming quest. The dwarf told this man that he thought the goblin was a magic user, and that he planned to sell the clutch. The captain said he would check into this and left, leaving Domella to his �smithing�.

Shortly after this the beefy Smith ran into Yvelle, talking to her for a while. He eventually deciding to see the Dwarven engineer, Tek, about some interesting designs in a book which he, the illiterate Smith Domella, held. The burly Smith loaned the book to the much smaller engineer when asked, urging them to be careful with this book as it did not belong to him.

After this, feeling the urge to take a break from the hectic hustle and bustle of the �smithing� life, he decided to get a drink and some stew to fill his stomach, accompanied by Yvelle. They headed to The Fallen Star where Domella�s conversation with a group of sailors seems to have once again fallen on the little goblin.

The unlikely pairing of an elven archer and a human healer, with a berserker thrown in on the side, seems to have been surprisingly successful to date. The three have paired with a group of wannabe paladins in an attack on a bandit stronghold. Indeed the largest problem between the three, and those that they travelled with, was Kiara being forced to ride a small donkey. Link had no problem at first with her ass, but enquired about it after seeing the sour look on her face, and the argument between Link and the man who had loaned them the animal quickly lead to harsh words at the very thought that she would be dragged around on her tiny ass. The woman stepped in, however, and possible bloodshed was averted.

The group headed onwards, on the alert for sentries left by the bandits, and discussed plans as they camped for the night. Eventually they moved on to their attack of the Manor, facing and defeating their first bandit with relative ease.

After a fearsome battle with a dark order mental mage Jacco found he was forced to take shelter in the home of a mental mage named Mr. Chubb. He was a dubious friend at best but certainly the best hope the little goblin had to rest until his mind was healed. He repaired himself to a large extent and headed out to market, obtaining many items that he thought might be useful; ordering a blowpipe for shooting darts and a gauntlet with concealed claws among other things.

After this shopping trip Jacco returned to the home of Mr. Chubb, only to find that the man had called on one of his friends to help the little goblin repair his mind. This man, Alisdair, helped the little goblin to repair his broken memory and piece his mind back together after the attack by the dark order mage. In the process the little goblin learned much� including the fact that his anger based attack on the evil mage had somehow fused his anger with his form magic, causing him to freak out when under stress, and expand to an impressive (for him at least) height. The man seemed fascinated by the little goblins mental state, saying he had never seen a mind quite like it. The two parted with no bad feelings between them, and indeed the little goblin rather respected the other man for his level of power.

In return for this help, and information that might lead the little goblin to precious magical items, Jacco agreed to help Mr. Chubb eliminate some of his competition - goblin smugglers. While he undoubtedly stood to gain from this deal his few morals held him back from just walking in and killing the smugglers, compelling him to find out more about them first� He also suspected that Mr. Chubb might betray him, using his services and disposing of him when he was of no further use.

The suspicious little goblin saw a chance to obtain a small advantage should this happen, however, when he encountered a group of three elves. Thia and Geryth had been traveling together, while Dracuth had been alone, searching for the one that set fire to Na�el. The little goblin told the strange elf that he could help him, knowing that this other possessed at least some small magic, and that he should meet the little goblin the next day if he wished to be directed to a dealer in information.

The two newest additions to the clutch quest are, surprisingly, Delfae! Riana and Shrya are currently boggling at the wide-open sky above them, but once they get used to being aboveground I can tell they will do great things with their wits and magic both.

The Ahrin Straits have been absolutely silent as of late�makes you begin to wonder what is brewing in its waters.

Well, the Telgard Sea has seen a bit of action lately, in the form of two travellers. One, a Misharr, Monius is currently acquainting himself with the crew of a ship, amongst them happens to be a human barmaid by the name of Jem. This is as far as the Misharr has proceeded in his travels as of yet.

The last traveller on the seas has seen both sides to life, death and creation. That elf happens to be me, the ex-noble Thyreion Calenor. First found as a stow-away onboard the ship, I was thrown into a cell below deck. After being released with an explanation, I was able to purchase a cabin on the ship to pay for my trip to Hasst. At breakfast I was beaten for defending my tutor, and strangely enough they all stopped before I lost my ear. Luckily enough I was given a tutor in the form of Lelyunwien.

Running from my human lesson, after having experienced some paranoid delusions� ('We're not paranoid, we only speak the truth, we aren't we aren't.' 'Quiet you.) Sorry about that, they always interrupt. I ran straight into an elfess, Nyanelle. Love at first sight, and so on, and so forth. After a bit of closet romance, which actually went pretty far since we'd only met five minutes ago, I took her to my cabin. I will not emphasise what actually happened at this point�but I�m sure your healthy imaginations will aid you in picturing the scene.

Naturally, the next morning the captain arrived. It just so happened that Nyanelle was the captain's daughter�after the small talk and polite chit-chat, if there was any, I was busy reliving my life, the captain informed Nyanelle that she would be travelling to Silverdawn. At the present moment I am headed back to Na'el, where I may or may not be handed over to the authorities, all depends on whether the captain likes me or not, and that is something I wouldn�t bet on. However once back in Na'el I will continue my search for Nyanelle, even if it means risking facing my father.
