Having a head for business

The scrag swam under the party to see which would be the easiest stragglers to pick off for its larder. The paladin quickly swam down to engage the giant while the wizard and scout held back to launch acid and fire down upon it from a distance. Initially the scrag tried to grapple the paladin and then rend her instead but to no avail - the paladin defended expertly whilst hacking away at the troll's loathsome hide. As the scout's arrows continued to find their mark, the scrag was eventually knocked unconcious and, unable to defend itself, slain.

The adventurers clambered into the swan boat, the scout encumbered with the severed head of their opponent. On their return to the goblin market, the residents were jubilant to see that the giant that terrorised the lake was dead. Tzak, the chief, bestowed freedom of the market upon the troll slayers. To ensure that his own name would go down in history, the chief bartered a quicksilver lizard in exchange for the grizzly trophy. Not wanting to be undone, the cleric of Wee Jas traded hundreds of gold coins for a similar lizard.

The tiefling scout also tried to solicit information about the second mausoleum but found nothing, leading him to expect that the place contained the remains of dead goblins and so not for the attention of treasure-hunting adventurers.

Instead, the chief provided leads on several other places where treasure could be found, including paid employment destroying undead, a toll gate and a beholder expressway with a real beholder in it. With this information, the party set off into the dark tunnels after adventure.
