Bonus Quest #1: Campfire Stories

Malus Kahn stretched out before the fire, its flames casting shadows across his crimson face. "It's been some years now since I've even thought of the dragon Gennefer or of the great havoc she wrecked upon the lands of Zakhara to the east, my homeland. I myself was but a boy of nine when she lost a fight with a genie and came crashing down through the city square, toppling buildings, shops, and even the elderly. Rest in peace, grand ma-ma. Grand pa-pa was never the same after that day. He vowed sweet vengeance on the dragon and sought such magics that would do the trick, sacrificing much in the process."

Malus paused, and stared into the flames for a painful moment. "Grand pa-pa, you see, was a man of great spirit and drive, but the tragic fate of his beloved left him a shell of himself, and in that state he made a pact with someone... some thing, and cursed his bloodline from then until forever. With these powers he was eventually able to find the dragon. Some say he was eaten in one gulp, others say he defeated the she-beast and took on its form as his own. I believe he took shelter outside the dragon's volcanic home, slept through the eruption, and was burned to death, spending his final moments in fiery agony. But yeah, that's the story of why my skin is red. The start of it at least. Time for bed!"

Malus got up from the fire and found a tree to rest his head against for the night.

"Goblin, Robot, we've been through an ordeal. But this was to be expected on a journey such as this. I require my rest. Please, take the first two watches. Stay vigilant. I'll take the third."

The rubied gems in Malus's staff glowed faintly in the dark. No, no he won't.
