Chapter 2: A Dragon's Penance

Turns out the lizardfolk ruthlessly slain by the brave adventurers were close personal friends of a young copper dragon. Demanding the adventurers account for their actions, Finkus (the name the dragon gave as his own) challenges them to solve riddles, provide a lunch of large scorpion stingers, repay the bounty they earned for "taking care of the lizardfolk problem", and finally killing the true culprit, a rock-tottin hill giant. Woller the Bastard and Maril the cleric both fell during the fight with the giant, but were reincarnated by a local druid--Woller, formerly a human, returned as a half-elf and took the name "The Returned One", and the middle-aged Maril returned as a young human.
