There Be Dragons Blacktail Quest

Of the two, Borvy Borko seemed more in line with Yaga’s character. She chose to seek out Knight as he had suggested.

Of the two, Slippery Jack seemed more in line with Yaga’s character. She chose to seek out Rebel as he had suggested.

Knight – one of the Grand mushrooms – revealed his plan: he said that the dragon needed to be buried under the rubble of its own lair, and for that, a hefty amount of black powder was required. Unfortunately, the only one in possession of such an exotic material was none other than Rebel – and he would not be willing to part with it so easily.

Rebel – one of the Cursed mushrooms – claimed that the dragon was not real. He believed that the real problem in the land lay in the greed for honey. He also revealed that the will-o’-wisps were hoarding honey in their cave, and for that reason the cave needed to be blown up. Doing so would require Rebel to obtain a specific set of blueprints, according to which he could construct a bomb fit for the purpose. Unfortunately, the only one in possession of such an exotic material was none other than Knight – and he would not be willing to part with it so easily.

As soon as Yaga had snatched the spoils, another mushroom appeared. He appeared to be a Spy, and he claimed that neither Rebel nor Knight really knew how to deal with the dragon properly. Instead, he suggested that there were ulterior powers at play, and getting to the bottom of the ploy would require luring the supposed dragon out of its cave.

Armed with a proper lure, she set off for the cave by the windmill.

As soon as Yaga had snatched the spoils, another mushroom appeared. His rather chaotic behavior made Yaga label him a Whacko. He claimed that neither Rebel nor Knight really knew how to deal with the dragon properly. Instead, he suggested that the beast should be seized for its immense power and for that it needed to be lured out of its cave.

Armed with a proper lure, she set off for the cave by the windmill.

Having trekked the land far and wide, Yaga finally reached the mighty dragon’s den. It was time to plant the lure...

...and that she did. All that was left was to hide and wait. Conveniently, there was a highly unsuspicious rock nearby.

To her surprise, no dragon appeared. And yet there was someone by the lure – another mushroom, a kid by the looks of it. He acted in a rather shady manner, yet Yaga heeded his tall tale – that the dragon rests deeper in the cave, and that it had taken the mushroom’s sister captive.

Knowing all too well that the little fungi must have been pulling her leg, the brave dragon slayer ventured inside the den anyway...

Sticky Arrows

Arrows dripping with honey that cause a sticky explosion that slows down enemies upon impact.

...just to find a gluttonous imp entangled in the Roots. His mind seemed all twisted, and only one thing was clear – he would not go down without a fight.

After a long and exhausting battle, Yaga emerged victorious! Whether it counts as an act of slaying the dragon or not is not for me to judge. However, the dragon problem had been resolved.

If the mushroom twins stayed true to their word, they must have rebuilt the bridge by now.

Ah, yes. The stone. Yaga had the pleasure of meeting the dignified persona. As they overcame the language barrier (not without help from some highly competent middlemen), it became apparent all of her efforts had to come to a halt, for a while at the very least.

A line for the fishing rod needed to be found urgently. And a peculiar Red Rose was behind its disappearance.

The stone’s motivations and goals were clearly beyond Yaga’s understanding – it was time for her to fish. The sands of the nearby riverbank would prove a convenient spot to do so.

The bridge was fixed, and there was nothing stopping her from getting back on the crumb trail.

Now that the endeavors of the rock-kind were resolved, there was nothing stopping Yaga from getting back to the twins.
